Our lab studies T cell function both in vitro and in vivo. For in vitro and ex vivo work, we use anti-CD3 + anti-CD28 costimulation for activation or reactivation of CD4+ T cells.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

In vivo CD4+ T cell activation

Sample

Murine CD4+ T cells

Primary Incubation

Goat anti-hamster IgG coated plates

Blocking Agent

None

Secondary Incubation

Anti-CD3 + anti-CD28

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

ELISA to measure cytokine production

Results Summary

We first coat plates with goat anti-hamster IgG so that the anti-CD3 antibody can bind. We then add cells and anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies and allow stimulation to occur for 24 hours. Supernatants are collected and measured by ELISA. Robust and reliable activation can be seen when using this method and antibodies.
