Naïve B cells from each indicated group of mice were purified
with mouse anti-CD43 (Ly-48) microbeads, stained with 3 µM Cell Trace
Violet (Invitrogen, Green Island, NY) and activated with 25 µg/ml
soluble anti-IgM (Jackson Immunoresearch) and 1 µg/ml LPS (E.coli LPS,
Sigma Aldrich) for 24h h at 37°C in a CO2 incubator.
Simultaneously, naïve T cells from OT-II transgenic mice were purified
with a pan-T isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotech), stained with 3 µM CFSE,
and activated with 10 µg/ml anti-CD3 (clone 145-2C11, UCSF monoclonal Ab
core) and 2 µg/ml anti-CD28 (clone PV-1, UCSF monoclonal Ab core) for
24h. For the last 6 h of stimulation, 10 µg/ml OVA peptide
(323–339) (InvivoGen, San Diego, CA) was added to the B cells.
Thereafter, B and T cells were washed. 1×106 B cells and
1×106 T cells were mixed together in a total volume of
100 µl of FACS buffer and briefly centrifuged at 4 °C for 1 min
at 1500 rpm. B:T mixtures were then immediately fixed (time-0 min) or incubated
in a 37 °C water bath for the indicated time points (2, 5, 15, 30 and 60
min). Interacting B and T cells were co-cross-linked by the addition of 100
µl of 4% paraformaldehyde at the end of each time point. Samples
were acquired by flow cytometry.

For the suppression assay, 2.5 × 104 CD4+CD44CD62L+ naive T cells were isolated from the spleens of BALB/c mice and co-cultured with live Foxp3GFP or PD-L2KO Foxp3GFP sorted splenic pTregs (CD3+CD4+CD25+Foxp3GFP+Nrp1) at 1:2: 1:4, 1:8, and 1:16 Treg:T cell ratios in cRPMi as described above for 72 h. For the BMDC co-cultures, WT or PD-L2KO BMDCs were generated as described above. 4 × 105 naive KJ126+CD4+CD25+CD62L+ splenic T cells were then isolated and co-cultured with WT or PD-L2KO BMDCs at a 1:20 DC to T-cell ratio. Cells were cultured in cRPMi containing 20 ng/mL IL-2 (Biolegend) and 5 ng/mL TGF-β (ebioscience), 100 ng/ml OVA-peptide 323–339 (Invivogen) and T cells were stimulated with a 1:1 ratio of Dynabeads Mouse T-activator CD3/CD28 (Gibco) for 72 h.

Measurement of Antigen-Specific T Cell Proliferation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To assess cell proliferation, mice were euthanized on day 7 and 1 × 106 splenocytes were cultured with 0–250 μg/ml OVA-peptide 323–339 (Invivogen) for 3 or 4 days in cRPMi. cRPMi was prepared using RPMI 1640 growth medium (Gibco), 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (Promega scientific) and 100 U/ml Penicillin/Streptomycin. Prior to culture, splenocytes were labeled with 1 µM CellTrace Violet (CTV, Thermofisher) for 20 min and stained on day 4 with CD3 and CD4 to isolate proliferating T cells and measure CTV dilution. In some experiments, proliferation was measured following 3 days of culture, where 1μ Ci 3H thymidine (MP Biomedicals, Solon, OH) was then added overnight and the amount of thymidine incorporation was quantified from harvested cells with a scintillation counter (Beckton Dickinson).

Immunological Analysis of Lymphocytes Post-Ear Immunization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were sacrificed at 7 or 28 days post-immunization in the ear, to collect SDLN and skin. SDLN were macerated and filtered, and skin-infiltrating lymphocytes were obtained as previously described (28 (link)). Briefly: Skin cell suspensions were obtained by enzymatic digestion with Liberase TL and DNAse, then chopped and incubated under the same conditions. Next, enzymatic digestion was stopped, and cell suspensions were filtered followed by the addition of DNAse. Finally, cells were washed with PBS, counted and stained. SDLN cells were re-stimulated as previously reported (28 (link)). Briefly: Cells were incubated for 48 h with 1 mg/ml of SIINFEKL (InvivoGen) and OVA peptide 323–339 (InvivoGen), followed by cell stimulation cocktail plus protein transport inhibitor for 4 h at 37°C. Then the lymphocytes were collected, washed, and stained.

Isolation and Activation of Murine T-cells and Dendritic Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total leukocytes were isolated from LN and spleen from 8 to 12 week old mice as previously described [85 (link)]. CD4+ T-cells were isolated from the pooled cell suspensions using an EasySep™ Mouse CD4+ T Cell Isolation Kit from Stemcell Technologies (Vancouver, Canada) following the manufacturer’s instructions. Foxp3+ Treg induction protocols were as previously described [52 (link)]. Polyclonal T-cell activation was performed as previously described [87 (link)], pre-coating plates with 10 μg/ml αCD3 (145–2C11, Biolegend) in PBS overnight at 4°C. Coated plates were washed and cells were plated with 1 μg/ml soluble αCD28 antibody (37.51, Biolegend). Bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDC) were generated as previously described [86 (link)]. DCs were activated overnight with 1 ug/ml LPS (Sigma) along with OVA peptide 323–339 (Invivogen) for antigen specific activation. For polyclonal activation via APC, BMDC Fc receptors were pre-loaded with 2.5 ug/ml αCD23 (Biolegend) and .5 ug/ml αCD28 (Biolegend) for two hours before culturing with target CD4+ T-cells. Antigen processing assays were performed according to manufacturer’s protocol for DQ-OVA (Thermo Fisher Scientific). A phagocytosis assay using these cells in conjunction with pHrodo-labelled particles was performed as previously described [86 (link)].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
