Induction and detection of cytotoxic T lymphocytes
Induction and detection of cytotoxic T lymphocytes
This unit describes several experimental protocols for inducing cytotoxic T lymphocytes and assaying their activity Remember that, in principle, any kind of cell can be used as a target cell for assaying C T L activity, but the best target cells are activated cells such as lymphoblastoid cells, tissue culture cells, or tumor cells.

Operation method
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes induction and detection Move Basic Option 1 Induction of cytotoxicity from C TL precursors Note: Reactive cells should be selected for in vivo sensitization based on the type of antigen. Reactive cell source: unsensitized or in vivo sensitized mouse spleen cells (see Supplementary protocols 1 and 2) Sensitization medium Stimulating cell source: unmodified or semi-antigenically modified mouse spleen cells (see Supplementary Scheme 3) R P M I -1 0 Complete Medium H B S S solubilized 0.5m g / m l mitomycin C (keep away from light) Knife bean protein A (optional): neutralized with or methyl-D-mannoside plus supernatant to cultured cells IL-2 (optional) 15 ml secondary polystyrene conical tubes with screw caps (e.g. Falcon) 2 4-well flat-bottomed microtitration plate, 2 ml volume, with lid (e.g. Costar) Note: Mice should be protected from infections that can affect the results of the experiment, such as mice and immune-suppressive viruses (e.g., Tropicana). In order to generate an in vivo response to a secondary histocompatibility antigen, a recipient should be used who is homozygous and of the same H-2 strain as the donor mouse. To generate an anti-H-Y response (a special case of the secondary antigen), skin or cells from a female recipient and a male mouse of the same strain are used. Recipient mice are transplanted with skin or intraperitoneal injections of IX IO7 to 5 X IO7 splenocytes (in a volume of 0.1 to 0.5 ml; Appendix 2E), which form an emulsion with Fuchs' Complete Adjuvant prepared by the method in Unit 1.2. Serum-free medium was used to Dilute influenza virus allantoic storage solution with 1.0 ml P B S to 300 hemagglutinin units (H A U ). Intraperitoneal injection was performed as in Appendix 2E. After in vivo immunization using the appropriate route, collect the cells and prepare a spleen single cell suspension as described for induced C T L (see Basic Option 1). It is preferable to use activated cells as target cells in 51C r release assays, whereas normal spleen cells can be used to stimulate C T L production (this avoids the time-consuming activation step). The following protocol bypasses MHC restriction and antigen specificity of CTL precursors by stimulating CTL precursors with mitogens. Reactive spleen cells were cultured in a 24-well microtitre plate with sensitization medium containing 2ug/ml of CClA. For more product details, please visit Aladdin Scientific website.

Supplementary Scheme 1 In vivo mouse response to secondary histocompatibility antigens
Dilute cells to inject mice. Between some strains, it may be necessary to re-inject IO7 spleen cells after 10 ~Md to produce a strong in vitro re-response. After in vivo immunization by the appropriate route, prepare a single-cell suspension of spleen cells as described for induction of CTL (see Basic Option 1). For re-response, the mice providing the responding cells are usually immunized in vivo within a minimum of 1 week and a maximum of 1 year.
