Quantifying Immune Cell Profiles in Intracranial Melanoma

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Flow cytometry was used to analyze immune cell populations (12 (link), 13 (link), 44 (link)) in a minimum of three samples in two independent animal studies. Dissected intracranial melanoma tumors were physically dissociated and filtered through a 70-μm cell filter. Single cells were labeled with primary antibody. Cells without primary antibody labeling were used as unlabeled negative controls; fluorescent beads (UltraComp eBeads, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) were used as positive/calibration controls and to determine compensation between fluorescent channels. Forward- and side-scatter gating identified single cells and viable cell (Ghost Dye Red 780 Viability Dye, 1:100; Tonbo Biosciences, San Diego, CA) exclusion identified live cells. Fluorescence minus one (FMO) methodology was used to determine gating. Flow cytometry was performed on an Attune NxT Flow Cytometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Waltham, MA), and compensation matrix computed and data analyzed using FlowJo version 9 software (Ashland, OR) following published flow cytometry guidelines (45 (link)).
Antibodies used were: CD4 (BV510, 1:400, clone RM4–5), CD8 (PerCP-cy5.5, 1:200, clone 53–6.7), FOXP3 (BV421, 1:100, clone MF-14), all acquired from BioLegend® Inc. (San Diego, CA); and CD45 (PE-cy7, 1:200, clone 30-F11), CD3 (FITC, 1:200, clone 17A2), both acquired from Tonbo Biosciences.

Erythrocytes were removed via incubation with 1× BD Biosciences FACS Lysing solution before fixation and permeabilization of the remaining cells with BD Biosciences Cytofix/Cytoperm solution and removal from CL-4. Following removal from containment, all samples were examined using a BD Biosciences FACSymphony A5 flow cytometer; fluorescence spillover was corrected for using singly stained compensation beads (Invitrogen UltraComp eBeads or ArC Amine Reactive Beads). Data were analyzed using FlowJo version 10 software.

Analysis was performed on a BD Fortessa X-30 and BD FACSSymphony A3 cytometers and using FlowJo v10; gating schemes are shown in relevant supplementary figures. Antibodies used can be found in Table S1. For fluorescence associated cell sorting: 15,000 live CD45+ CD19+ CD11b+ and live CD45+ CD19+ CD11b were sorted on a BD FACS Aria II into RPMI with 40% FBS. Cells were pelleted and resuspended in RNA lysis buffer (Invitrogen; 46-6001) for RNA isolation. Adipose B cells were pooled from 2 mice per sample to account for biological variability.

Endothelial cells (50,000 cells per well) were seeded in a 96-well plate in serum dilution buffer (SDB) (1× annexin V buffer (51-66121E, BD Pharmingen), 1 mM MgCl2 (68475, Sigma) and 1% BSA (A9576, Sigma)). Pooled normal human serum (NHS, Complement Technology) or cynomolgus monkey serum (NHP01SRM, BioIVT) diluted in SDB were added to appropriate wells at a final concentration of 25% and incubated for 30 min at 37 °C. For negative controls, cells were treated with 25% serum containing 10 mM EDTA (15575038, Thermo Fisher) to inactivate complement. After incubation, cells were washed and stained with phycoerythrin-conjugated anti-C3b antibodies at a 1:100 dilution (846104, BioLegend) and Ghost Dye Red 780 viability dye at a 1:500 dilution (13-0865, Tonbo Biosciences) for 30 min at 4 °C in the dark. Cells were washed twice, immediately acquired on a BD FACSymphony A3 cytometer and analysed in Flow Jo. C3b deposition was plotted as MFI and statistics were calculated using GraphPad Prism v8.2.0.

Tumors and spleens were removed, mechanically dissociated, and passed through a Corning 35 µm cell strainer. Cell suspensions were centrifuged at 300 g for 10 min, and then digested with ACK lysing buffer (Lonza). The cells were then washed and centrifuged at 300 g for 10 min, and resuspended in 10 mL PBS, 10 µL of which was added to 10 mL of ISOTON diluent and counted on the COULTER COUNTER Z1 Series Particle Counter (Beckman Coulter). From this count, 1×106 cells were added to flow cytometry tubes in staining buffer (PBS with 2% FBS) and stained with antibodies for hCD45, mCD45, scFV 14g2a CAR, and PD-1. The cells were then washed with PBS, centrifuged at 300 g for 10 min, and 0.5 ul of Ghost Dye Red 780 viability dye (Tonbo Biosciences) was added for 20 min at room temperature. Cells were then washed with staining buffer, spun down, and resuspended in 400 µL of staining buffer. Cells were run on an Attune NXT flow cytometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Subsequent analyses were performed using FlowJo software (BD). For donor 2, all mice were euthanized on day 25. For donors 1, 3, 4, and 5, spleens and tumors were analyzed as mice reached euthanasia criteria. For donor 6, all mice were euthanized on day 20.

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.
