CTCL and T-ALL cell lines were treated with various concentrations of SGN-CD70A or PBS for 72 hours. The cell proliferation was measured by CellTiter-Glo (Promega, Leiden, Netherlands), and apoptosis was analyzed by the annexin-V/PI assay.
Primary tumor cells from PDX mice were cultured in complete media, RPMI1640 with 20% human AB serum (MP, Solon, OH). For the proliferation assays, primary tumor cells from PDXs were stimulated to grow with CD2/CD3/CD28 activation beads and incubated with hIL-2 (500 U/mL) and hIL-7 (1000 U/mL) (Miltenyi Biotec) at an optimal cell density of 5 to 10 × 105 cells/mL. After 24 or 48 hours of activation, the cells were treated with various concentrations of SGN-CD70A as indicated. The proliferation of primary tumor cells was determined by Real-Time Glo (Promega) at 24, 48, and 72 hours after drug treatment. Apoptosis assays using primary tumor cells were performed as described previously.20 (link) Briefly, primary tumor cells were harvested from the spleens of PDX mice and cultured in a complete medium with 250 U/mL of hIL-2 without activation beads. At 24 hours, cells were treated with various concentrations of SGN-CD70A or ADC-IgG control. After 72 hours of treatment, cells were analyzed by the annexin-V/PI assay.

The peripheral blood of healthy persons (volunteers in our laboratory) was put into anticoagulant tubes. After 1:1 dilution with normal saline, the blood was slowly spread on the surface of the appropriate Ficoll-Paque separation medium (GE). Centrifugation was performed at 800 × g for 20 min. The white film was carefully absorbed after stratification. Centrifugation at 800 g for 5 min. Precipitation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. CD8+ T lymphocytes were isolated from human peripheral blood monocytes with a magnetic bead sorting kit (Miltenyi). In vitro expansion was carried out in TexMACS medium (Miltenyi) containing hIL2 (50 U/mL, Miltenyi) and hIL-7-FC (70 ng/mL, Miltenyi) in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37 °C. For the specific steps, please refer to the previous publication of our research group [12 (link)]. KYSE150 cells were conventionally cultured in RPMI 1640 medium (containing 10% FBS, Gibco). When the confluence was 60–70%, CD8+ T lymphocytes were added to the cell culture medium at a ratio of 10:1 CD8+ T lymphocytes: KYSE150 cells and cocultured at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator.

Murine T cells were activated for 24 h with (i) αCD3/CD28 Ab-coated beads (Gibco, Thermo Fisher Scientific) at a bead to cell ratio of 2:1 and 50 IU/ml of hIL-2 (Glaxo), (ii) plate-coated αCD3 Ab (5 µg/ml; eBioscience) plus soluble αCD28 Ab (2 µg/ml; eBioscience) and hIL-2 (50 IU/ml), or (iii) Concanavalin A (2 µg/ml; Sigma), hIL-7 (1 ng/ml; Miltenyi) and 50 IU/ml hIL-2 before transduction. Transduced T cells were cultured at a concentration of 0.5–106 cells/ml in T cell medium enriched with 50 IU/ml hIL-2 only or with 10 ng/ml of both hIL-7 and hIL-15 (Miltenyi) from day 2 after transduction onwards. T cells were typically counted every 2–3 d. T cell expansion was calculated by dividing the absolute number of expanded T cells at each time point during culture by the respective number on day 0 (T cell transduction). T cell viability was assessed by trypan blue staining, and the phenotype was assessed by cell-surface staining of CD44 and CD62L followed by flow cytometric 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.
