Optogenetic Tuning of Ligand Binding to The Human T cell Receptor Using The opto-ligand-TCR System

[Abstract]  T cells are one major cell type of the immune system that use their T cell antigen receptor (TCR) to bind and respond to foreign molecules derived from pathogens. The ligand-TCR interaction half-lives determine stimulation outcome. Until recently, scientists relied on mutating either the TCR or its ligands to investigate how varying TCR-ligand interaction durations impacted on T cell activation. Our newly created opto-ligand-TCR system allowed us to precisely and reversibly control ligand binding to the TCR by light illumination. This system uses phytochrome B (PhyB) tetramers as a light-regulated TCR ligand. PhyB can be photoconverted between a binding (ON) and non-binding (OFF) conformation by 660 nm and 740 nm light illumination, respectively. PhyB ON is able to bind to a synthetic ... [摘要]  [摘要] T细胞是免疫系统的一种主要细胞类型,利用其T细胞抗原受体(TCR)结合并响应源自病原体的外来分子。配体-TCR相互作用的半衰期决定了刺激的结果。直到最近,科学家还是依靠突变TCR或其配体来研究变化的TCR-配体相互作用持续时间如何影响T细胞活化。我们新创建的光配体-TCR系统使我们能够通过光照精确且可逆地控制配体与TCR的结合。该系统使用植物色素B(PhyB )四聚体作为光调节的TCR配体。PHYB 可光转化的结合(ON)之间,并且通过分别为660nm和740nm的光照射,非结合性(OFF)构象。PhyB ON能够结合通过将PhyB 相互作用因子(PIF)融合到TCRβ链而产生的合成TCR 。将PhyB 切换为OFF构象会破坏这种相互作用。PhyB 四聚体与PIF-TCR 足够长的结合导致T细胞活化(通过钙内流测量)。在这里,我们描述了有关如何为我们的光配体-TCR系统生成四聚体配体,如何通过流式细胞仪测量配体-TCR结合以及如何通过钙内流量化T细胞活化的协议。

[Abstract]  In the field of extracellular optogenetics, photoreceptors are applied outside of cells to obtain systems with a desired functionality. Among the diverse applied photoreceptors, phytochromes are the only ones that can be actively and reversibly switched between the active and inactive photostate by the illumination with cell-compatible red and far-red light. In this protocol, we describe the production of a biotinylated variant of the photosensory domain of A. thaliana phytochrome B (PhyB-AviTag) in E. coli with a single, optimized expression plasmid. We give detailed instructions for the purification of the protein by immobilized metal affinity chromatography and the characterization of the protein in terms of purity, biotinylation, spectral photoswitching and the ... [摘要]  [摘要 ] 在细胞外光遗传学领域,光感受器被应用于细胞外,以获得具有所需功能的系统。在各种应用的感光体中,植物色素是唯一可以通过与细胞相容的红色和远红外光照射而在活性和非活性光态之间主动和可逆地切换的色素。在此协议中,我们描述了在大肠杆菌中拟南芥光敏色素B(PhyB-AviTag )的光敏域的生物素化变体的生产。 带有一个优化的表达质粒。我们给出了通过固定的金属亲和色谱法纯化蛋白质的详细说明,并根据纯度,生物素化,光谱光开关以及与它的相互作用伴侣PIF6的光依赖性相互作用对蛋白质进行了表征。与以前使用PhyB-AviTag 进行的研究相比,此方案中使用的优化表达质粒简化了生产过程,并显示出更高的产量和纯度。

Platelet Migration and Bacterial Trapping Assay under Flow

[Abstract]  Blood platelets are critical for hemostasis and thrombosis, but also play diverse roles during immune responses. We have recently reported that platelets migrate at sites of infection in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, platelets use their ability to migrate to collect and bundle fibrin (ogen)-bound bacteria accomplishing efficient intravascular bacterial trapping. Here, we describe a method that allows analyzing platelet migration in vitro, focusing on their ability to collect bacteria and trap bacteria under flow. [摘要]  血小板对于止血和血栓形成至关重要,但在免疫反应中也起着不同的作用。 我们最近报道了血小板在体外体外和体内感染部位迁移。 重要的是,血小板利用它们迁移的能力来收集和捆绑纤维蛋白(ogen)结合的细菌,从而实现有效的血管内细菌捕获。 在这里,我们描述了一种方法,允许分析血小板在体外的迁移,重点是它们收集细菌和捕获流动细菌的能力。

【背景】血小板是从巨核细胞释放的小的无核细胞片段,其存在于哺乳动物生物的骨髓内(Machlus和Italiano,2013)。大约7500亿血小板在人体血液中循环,不断扫描脉管系统以破坏内皮表面。在遇到内皮损伤时,血小板立即被招募在充分表征的事件级联中,包括初始血小板束缚和滚动,然后是血小板活化,粘附和扩散,最终导致纤维蛋白(ogen)依赖性聚集和随后的血栓收缩(Jackson, 2007)。血小板栓塞形成是生理性止血的主要步骤,但也是动脉粥样硬化斑块破裂后的病理性血栓形成,触发心肌梗塞或中风(Jackson,2011)。

除了在止血和血栓形成中的公认作用外,血小板还发展出多种免疫功能(Semple et al。,2011)。作为第一批招募炎症和感染部位的细胞,血小板在启动血管内免疫反应中起着重要作用(Wong et ...
