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.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Annexin V apoptosis assay was performed to evaluate the effect of dexamethasone on the viability of CTLs from Cas9 control and NR3C1 KO groups. CTLs from both groups were treated with 200 μM dexamethasone (Sigma) for 72 hours. Cells were then collected, washed with Annexin V buffer, and stained with Annexin V (V500; BD Biosciences) and live/dead viability dye (efluor 660; Invitrogen) in addition to CD3 APC Cy7 (Biolegend, Clone HIT3A), CD4 APC (E Biosciences, Clone SK3), and CD8 PerCP Cy5.5 (Biolegend, Clone SK1). The proportion of apoptotic (positive for Annexin V) and dead CTLs (positive for live/dead stain) was determined by flow cytometry.
To confirm the ability of SARS-CoV-2 CTLs to mediate cytotoxicity, autologous PBMCs were labeled with carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE) per manufacturer’s recommendation and loaded with SARS-CoV-2 Spike (S) (peptide pool 1 or 2), Membrane (M) and Nucleocapsid (N) PepMix (JPT, Germany) [1μg /ml per peptide] overnight. The next day, the SARS-CoV-2 PepMix-loaded PBMCs were co-cultured with the expanded CTLs at 1:1 ratio for 16 hours followed by Annexin V staining as described above. The proportion of dead/apoptotic PBMCs (Live/Dead+ and Annexin V+) was determined by flow cyometry.

All MHC class I tetramers were made by the NIH Tetramer Core Facility. Up to five tetramer-peptide reagents with contrasting fluorescence were used in a given staining cocktail. The amount of each tetramer was titrated (0.1–1 μL) to obtain the optimal concentration for usage. Freshly isolated and 14-day cultured cells were washed with PBS, stained with tetramer cocktail in PBS + 2% FBS, and incubated at 4 °C for 30 min. An antibody cocktail comprised of CD8-PerCP/Cy5.5, CD45RA-BV510, CD62L-PE/Cy7, CD95-PE/Dazzle 594 (Biolegend) was added and samples incubated for an additional 30 min at 4 °C. Samples were then washed with FACS buffer and analyzed by flow cytometry (CytoFLEX, Beckman Coulter).

Cloning of ERAP1 haplotypes has been described (26 (link)). For expression of short antigenic peptides, forward and reverse oligonucleotides were annealed and ligated into pcDNA3.1D/V5-His-TOPO® vector using the Directional TOPO Expression kit (Invitrogen) as described (22 (link)).
To compare ERAP1 Hap2 and Hap10 activity, ERAP1-/- WM793 clones were transfected with pcDNA-ERAP1 Hap2 or Hap10 (100 ng) at 60-80% cell density using FuGENE HD (Promega). 24 h after transfection, HLA expression was evaluated, or Vα3S1/Vβ13S1-TCR hybridoma cells were added and assessed for sGFP induction after 24 h of co-culture by flowcytometry. Parental or ERAP1-/- HEK293T cells were seeded on 48 well plates and co-transfected with pRSV-HLA-C*06:02 (75 ng), plasmid encoded ADAMTSL5 peptides (75 ng) and either pcDNA-ERAP1 Hap2, Hap10, or pcDNA-vector (75 ng) using FuGENE HD. 24 h later, Vα3S1/Vβ13S1-TCR hybridoma cells were added. Staining with CD8-PerCPCy5.5 (Biolegend #344710) differentiated hybridoma cells from ERAP1-/- HEK293T cells. Gating strategy to examine TCR hybridoma stimulation is given in Supplemental Fig. 2A.

Cells were transferred from the 96 well plate to a PCR plate (Thermo Fisher) and centrifuged at 400 x g for 5 min at room temperature, making sure to aspirate the resulting supernatant in between each transfer. Once all cells were transferred to the new PCR plate, cells were centrifuged and resuspended in FBS Stain Buffer (BD Biosciences). FC Block Cocktail (Human TruStain FcX Fc Receptor Blocking Solution [Biolegend] and FBS Stain Buffer) was added to each sample and incubated for 10 min at 21 °C. Following the blocking incubation, Live Stain Cocktail, composed of Live/Dead-Aqua (1:100, Biolegend), CD8-PerCP-Cy5.5 (1:20, Biolegend), and CD14-PE-Dazzle594 (1:20, Biolegend) in FBS Stain Buffer, was added to each well, and the plate was incubated for a subsequent 30 min at 21 °C. Samples were washed twice via centrifugation and resuspension in 150 μL of FBS Stain Buffer, and finally resuspended in 60 μL of FBS Stain Buffer. 16% PFA was added to each sample for a final concentration of 1.6% PFA and incubated for 10 min at 21 °C to fix the cells. After fixation, cells were washed as before and resuspended in FBS Stain Buffer in preparation for intracellular staining.
