Stimulation of B and T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We stimulated 1.5 × 105 to 2.0 × 105 B cells in 96-well plates in supplemented RPMI-1640 medium with antibodies or immunostimulants during the indicated times. Stimuli included CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN 2006) for B cells (InvivoGen), LPS from Escherichia coli (Sigma-Aldrich), anti-human F(ab’)2 IgM and F(ab’)2 IgG (Southern Biotech), ionomycin (EMD Millipore), PMA (Cell Signaling Technology), and cross-linked human CD40L (Miltenyi). After stimulation, cells were washed and resuspended in PBS before flow cytometry analysis. For antigen-specific stimulation, 100 antigen-coated beads per B cell were added in the supernatant.
For Jurkat T cells stimulation, 2 × 106 cells were plated in 96-well plates and stimulated with 1 μg/mL CD3/CD8 antibodies (Invitrogen) or with TransAct (Myltenyi Biotech) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For kinetics assessments, to remove stimulant molecules, plates were washed three times with 200 μL PBS.

B cell proliferation upon DENV-2 infection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
B cells isolated from healthy donors were labeled with carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE) (Biolegend) and either infected with DENV-2 at an MOI of 5 or remained uninfected. After 2 h of inoculation, cells were washed to remove the inoculum and stimulated with CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (1 μg/ml; Invivogen, San Diego, CA, USA) and F(ab′)2 anti-IgM antibody (4 μg/ml; Jackson ImmunoResearch, PA, USA) or remained unstimulated. Cells were cultured in RPMI supplemented with 10% FBS for 6 days. The cells were then harvested and stained with Zombie Aqua (AmCyan) viability dye (BioLegend) followed by CD19 PE/Cy7 (clone HIB19) and CD20 PerCp/Cy5.5 (clone 2H7) to identify live B cells and analyzed for the expression of CFSE in the FITC channel. Proliferation was measured as the percentage of B cells with decreased intensity of CFSE compared to unstimulated B cells.

Escherichia coli 0111:B4 lipopolysaccharide (LPS), zymosan from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Z-Leu-Leu-Leu-al (MG-132), and D-desthiobiotin were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). CpG oligodeoxynucleotides were purchased from Invivogen (Toulouse, France). N-Acetyl-Leu-Leu-Norleu-al (ALLN) was purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Dallas, TX, USA). Puromycin dihydrochloride was purchased from Gold Biotechnology (St. Louis, MO, USA).

Antigen cross-presentation in A549 cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A549 cells (antigen donor cells) were mock-infected or infected with IAV virus or IAV-OVA virus (MOI = 10) for 10 h prior to γ-irradiation (50 Gy) to inhibit the proliferation of viruses and induce apoptosis of the cells. After washing, the irradiated cells were incubated with Mutu cells (GFP+) at a ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 in the presence of 500 nM CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (InvivoGen) at 37 °C and harvested at the designated time. For preliminary analysis of cross-presentation, the Mutu cells were then co-cultured with VPD450-labeled OT-1 CD8+ T cells at ratio of 1:1 at 37 °C for 24 h. OT-1 T-cell proliferation was assessed based on the VPD450 dye dilution in CD8+ T cells. Alternatively, the Mutu cells were stained with monoclonal 25-D1.16 antibody, specific for the H-2Kb bound peptide OVA257–264 (SIINFEKL), followed by a PE-conjugated anti-mouse IgG antibody (BD Biosciences), and analyzed by flow cytometry.

2 x 106 overnight rested PBMC were seeded in polypropylene U-bottom 96-well microtiter plates (Fisher Scientific, Hampton, USA) with CTL-Test™ Medium and either stimulated with CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (10 µg/mL) (InvivoGen, Toulouse, France), PMA (Phorbol-12-myristat-13-acetat) (30 ng/mL) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA), and Ionomycin (1 µg/mL) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA) (referred to as “CpG+P/I”) or left unstimulated as a medium control to define background activity. After 1 h of incubation at 37°C in 5% CO2, 10 µg/mL of secretion blocker Brefeldin A (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA) in a total volume of 50 µL CTL-Test™ medium was added to each well. Stimulation was stopped after 4 h by transferring the plates to 4°C overnight.

Mature murine bone marrow PMNs were isolated from mouse femurs and tibias by discontinuous Percoll gradient centrifugation as previously reported.19 (link) This preparation was then sorted by a FACSAriaII (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ) based on live (7AADneg), Ly6G+, and F4/806 (link) to yield a population that was >95% pure with 0% F4/80+ cells (Figure 7A). Peritoneal PMNs were harvested by peritoneal lavage 4h after i.p. Brewer's thioglycollate (2 ml, 4%). Peritoneal exudate macrophages were harvested by peritoneal lavage 96h after i.p. Brewer's thioglycollate and then plated for 24h before stimulation. Macrophages were stimulated with media, Pam3CSK4 (Invivogen, San Diego, CA; 100ng/ml), Poly I:C (Invivogen, 10μg/ml), LPS (List Biologicals, Campbell, CA; 10ng/ml), or CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (Invivogen; 10Qg /ml) for 24h and cell supernatants harvested for cytokine analysis.

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.
