The video demonstrates an immunological method to monitor in vivo adjuvant-induced cytotoxic T lymphocyte or CTL production. A mouse is pre-injected with genetically engineered, proliferative dye-stained donor CD8+ T lymphocytes. Subcutaneous injection of ovalbumin with adjuvants generates cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes that are identified post-harvesting through immunostaining and flow cytometry.
Protocol
All procedures involving animal models have been reviewed by the local institutional animal care committee and the JoVE veterinary review board. All mice used in this study were from the C57BL/6 background. All the animals were kept under pathogen-free conditions. 1. Carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE) Staining of OT-I T Cells and Adoptive Transfer NOTE: OT-I mice are transgenically generated anima…
Representative Results
Figure 1: The assay timeline. The assay timeline represents the initial OT-I T cell transfer at day 0, the s.c. vaccination at day 1, and the sampling spleen and draining of lymph nodes 2 days later. Figure 2: Flow diagram of the gating strategy fo…
