I studied immune response in mice against mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and clearance of the pathogen from the mouse system using anti-mycobacterial ESAT6 binding peptides.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Flow Cytometry

Sample

Mice splenocytes and lung T-cells

Primary Incubation

1:100 dilution, after blocking with 2% BSA and Fc block for 1 hour on ice

Blocking Agent

Blocking with 2% BSA and Fc block

Secondary Incubation

None

Tertiary Incubation

NA

Detection

Flow Cytometry

Results Summary

Cells from mice lungs and spleen were incubated with BrdU and whole mycobacterium lysates for 72 hours. Cells were surface stained for CD4 and CD8 and fixed/permeabilized for 15 minutes and stained with anti-BrdU antibodies. Using BrdU staining, it was found that peptide HCL2 resulted in enhanced T cell proliferation in response to Mtb antigens.
