[Abstract] While able to suppress HIV replication in HIV infected individuals, combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) fails to eliminate viral latent reservoir, which consists in integrated transcriptional silenced HIV provirus. So far, identification of latently-infected cells has relied on activating cells to induce expression of HIV proteins which can then be detected. Unfortunately, this activation significantly changed the cell phenotype. We developed a novel HIV reporter, named HIVGKO, that allows the purification of latently-infected cells in absence of reactivation. Indeed, latent cells can be identified by expression of the EF1a-driven mKO2 and lack of expression of the LTR-driven csGFP. This protocol can be used to study the effectiveness of LRAs (Latency Reversal Agents) in ...
[摘要] 虽然能够抑制HIV感染个体中的HIV复制,但联合抗逆转录病毒疗法(ART)无法消除病毒潜伏性储库,其包含整合的转录沉默的HIV原病毒。 到目前为止,潜伏感染细胞的鉴定依赖于激活细胞以诱导HIV蛋白的表达,然后可以检测到这些蛋白的表达。 不幸的是,这种激活显着改变了细胞表型。 我们开发了一种名为HIV GKO 的新型HIV报告基因,可以在没有再激活的情况下纯化潜伏感染的细胞。 实际上,可以通过EF1a驱动的mKO2的表达和LTR驱动的csGFP的缺乏表达来鉴定潜伏细胞。 该方案可用于研究LCA(潜伏期逆转剂)在原代细胞中重新激活潜伏HIV的有效性。
【背景】新版双标记病毒(HIV GKO )含有5'LTR中HIV-1启动子控制下的密码子转换eGFP(csGFP)和一种独特的无关荧光蛋白 mKO2在细胞延伸因子αα启动子(EF1α)的控制下。 当使用与遗传相关的荧光蛋白时,由于重组问题,在这些报道分子中使用不相关的荧光蛋白是很重要的。 因此,生产性感染的细胞主要是csGFP + mKO2 + (有些可能只是GFP + ),而潜伏感染的细胞是csGFP - mKO2 + 。 流式细胞仪如分拣机AriaII允许纯化纯感染人群(生产性,潜伏性和/或未感染),而分析仪LSRII允许评估HIV GKO LTR的转录激活。 感染后的时间很短。

[Abstract] Group 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILC2) play an important role in immune responses at barrier surfaces, notably in the lung during airway allergic inflammation or asthma. Several studies have described methods to isolate ILC2s from wild-type naive mice, most of them using cell sorting to obtain a pure population. Here, we describe in detail, a simple, efficient method for isolation and culture of lung mouse ILC2s. Lungs from Rag2-/- mice pretreated with IL-33 are collected and processed into single cell suspensions. Lymphoid cells are then recovered by density gradient separation. Lin-CD45+ cells are selected by depletion of lineage positive cells followed by positive selection of CD45+ cells. Culture of the isolated cells for several days ...
[摘要] 第2组先天性淋巴细胞(ILC2)在屏障表面,特别是在气道过敏性炎症或哮喘期间的肺中的免疫应答中起重要作用。一些研究已经描述了从野生型幼稚小鼠中分离ILC2的方法,其中大多数使用细胞分选来获得纯种群。在这里,我们详细描述了一种简单有效的肺小鼠ILC2分离和培养方法。收集用IL-33预处理的 Rag2 - / - 小鼠的肺并加工成单细胞悬浮液。然后通过密度梯度分离回收淋巴样细胞。通过耗尽谱系阳性细胞然后阳性选择CD45 + 细胞来选择Lin - CD45 + 细胞。将分离的细胞培养数天导致高度纯化的ILC2群体表达典型的细胞表面标志物(CD90.2,Sca1,CD25,CD127和IL-33R)。这些细胞可在培养物中扩增长达10天,并用于多种离体测定或体内过继转移实验。 【背景】第2组先天性淋巴细胞(ILC2)是组织驻留细胞,其在抗寄生虫先天免疫以及过敏性炎症的发展中起关键作用。它们通过产生大量的2型细胞因子IL-5和IL-13对上皮细胞衍生的细胞因子如白细胞介素-33(IL-33)起反应,后者又诱导嗜酸性粒细胞增多和粘液产生(Cayrol和Girard,2018)。为了更好地表征这些细胞的功能和调节,许多组通过荧光激活细胞分选(FACS)从野生型小鼠(WT)的肺中分选ILC2。由于稳定状态下肺中存在的ILC2数量较少,因此该方法导致纯化细胞的产量较低(每只小鼠1×10 ...

[Abstract] The ability to conduct investigation of cellular transcription, signaling, and function at the single-cell level has opened opportunities to examine heterogeneous populations at unprecedented resolutions. Although methods have been developed to evaluate high-dimensional transcriptomic and proteomic data (relating to cellular mRNA and protein), there has not been a method to evaluate corresponding high-dimensional functionomic data (relating to cellular functions) from single cells. Here, we present a protocol to quantitatively measure the differentiation potentials of single human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, and then cluster the cells according to these measurements. High dimensional functionomic analysis of cell potential allows cell function to be linked to molecular ...
[摘要] 在单细胞水平进行细胞转录,信号传导和功能调查的能力为以前所未有的决议研究异质人群开启了机会。 尽管已经开发了评估高维转录组学和蛋白质组学数据(与细胞mRNA和蛋白质有关)的方法,但尚未有方法从单个细胞评估相应的高维功能组学数据(与细胞功能有关)。 在这里,我们提出了一种方案来定量测量单个人造血干细胞和祖细胞的分化潜能,然后根据这些测量结果聚集细胞。 细胞电位的高维功能组分析允许细胞功能与相同祖细胞群体内的分子机制相关联。
【背景】单细胞水平的细胞转录,信号传导和功能单细胞测量技术的发展,以及流式细胞仪等先前存在的技术的发展,使得新镜头能够检测复杂的异质群体。这些方法产生大量数据,这可以借助于降维算法来解释,如使用Mpath,Monocole,PCA,Wishbone或扩散图算法在单细胞RNA-Seq上所示的(Paul等, 2016年;参见 et al。,2017),以及使用tSNE或PhenoGraph的CyTOF(Amir et al。,2013; Levine et al 。,2015)。
我们开发了这个协议,以允许在单细胞环境中对造血祖细胞的大规模培养物进行功能分析和随后的降维。在这个协议中,我们描述了在细胞因子的基质细胞培养物中培养人CD34 ...
