HEK 293T cells were cultured in Dulbecco modified Eagle medium (DMEM) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and transfected using polyethylenimine (PEI) (Polysciences) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Human‐derived Jurkat T cells were maintained in RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% FBS. Transfection of Jurkat cells with plasmid DNA was performed by electroporation on a Gene Pulser X cell apparatus (Bio‐Rad Laboratories, USA). Jurkat T cells were activated using PMA/ionomycin or soluble antibodies against CD3 (1 μg/ml, Hit3a, BioLegend, USA) and CD28 (1 μg/ml, CD28.2, BioLegend, USA). Cell lines were obtained from the laboratory of Drew Pardoll (Johns Hopkins) and were not verified experimentally.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from healthy human donors were obtained from the CFAR Virology Core at UCLA without personal identifying information. To minimize a potential induction of T-cell stimulation by events such as crosslinking of cell-surface molecules, TN-cell population was negatively selected in one step using an EasySep™ Human Naive CD8+ T Cell Enrichment Kit (StemCell Technologies, Inc., Vancouver, Canada), which consistently provides >95% purity of CD8+ TN cells (Supplementary Figure 1). Cells were maintained in Iscove’s Modified Dulbecco’s Medium (IMDM) supplemented with 1% GlutaMAX supplement and Antibiotic-Antimycotic (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY), 20% FCS (SH30070.03E; GE Healthcare Life Sciences, South Logan, UT), and 0.1 mM 2-mercaptoethanol (Sigma-Aldrich St. Louis, MO) (T-cell medium) as reported previously (27 (link)). Prior to lentiviral vector transduction, CD8+ TN cells were incubated with various concentrations of anti-CD3 antibody (Hit3a; BioLegend, San Diego, CA) with or without 2 µg/mL of anti-CD28 antibodies (CD28.2; BioLegend) for 2 days in T-cell medium supplemented with 5 ng/mL IL-7 and IL-15 (R&D systems, Minneapolis, MN) as summarized in Figure 1A. All cells were incubated at 37°C in 5% CO2.

Single cell suspensions of tumor and tumor-adjacent tissue were stained
with surface antibodies for CD19, CD20, CD3, CD8, CD4, CD56 and CD11c (clones
HIB19, 2H7, HIT3a, RPA-T8, RPA-T4, HCD56, and 3.9, respectively, Biolegend) and
an intracellular stain for the transcription factor FoxP3 (clone PCH101,
Ebioscence) for Figure 1 and for CD19, CD20, CD21, CD69, CD27 and HLA-DR (clones HIB19, 2H7, HB5, FN50, O323, and L243,
respectively, Biolegend and Ebioscience) for Figs. 2 and 3. Positive and negative
controls for staining were PBLs from patients or control donors, lymphocytes
from control donor spleens, lymphocytes from control (disease-free) lungs,
lymphocytes from NSCLC pleural metastases, and PBL from untreated,
HIV+ patients. Flow cytometry was conducted using an LSR
II (BD Biosciences) and data were analyzed using FlowJo software (Tree Star,
Inc.). For Fig. 2B, total lymphocyte infiltration was calculated using the following equation: [Total cell
number from tissue X % lymphocyte gate X % lymphocyte
population, i.e. CD19+]/ [mass of tissue in
grams].

Monitoring Glycolytic Shift in T-Cell Activation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To monitor the glycolytic switch upon activation, CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells were resuspended in serum-free XF Assay media supplemented with 11.1 mM glucose and 2 mM l-glutamine (Sigma). ECAR and OCR were measured simultaneously throughout the experiment, i.e., 1 h before activation and 4 h after. T-cells were activated via the multi-injection port with anti-CD3 (0.2 µg/ml; HIT3a, BioLegend) and CD28 (20 µg/ml; CD28.2, BioLegend). A final injection of 2-DG (100 mM) was used to immediately arrest glycolysis. Isotype controls, mIgG2a κ (0.2 µg/ml; MOPC-173, BioLegend) and mIgG1 κ (20 µg/ml; MOPC-21; BioLegend) were used. The OCR/ECAR ratio was calculated by dividing the eight corresponding OCR and ECAR measurements pre- (dotted boxes) or post- (dashed boxes) antibody injection. Fold ECAR change was calculated by dividing the single point post antibody injection by the single point pre antibody injection. Peptide stimulation relied on the cross presentation of specific peptides by corresponding T-cell clones.

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.
