Abstract

This video describes a protocol for isolating rare-antigen-specific CD8+ T cells using magnetic nanoparticle-based artificial antigen-presenting cells (aAPCs) functionalized with antigenic peptide-loaded MHC-Igs and anti-CD28 antibodies. Interaction of the aAPCs with CD8+ T cells specifically expressing the antigenic peptide-targeting T cell receptors, followed by their expansion in vitro, results in the enrichment and expansion of this CD8+ T cell population.
Protocol
All procedures involving animal models have been reviewed by the local institutional animal care committee and the JoVE veterinary review board. 1. Enrich Antigen-specific CD8+ T Cells with Prepared Nanoparticle Artificial Antigen-Presenting Cells. Isolate CD8+ T cells. Euthanize the animals by exposure to isoflurane followed by cervical dislocation. Remove the spleen and lymph nodes from wild-type C57BL/6j mice and place the…
