Improvement of IFNγ ELISPOT Performance Following Overnight Resting of Frozen PBMC Samples Confirmed Through Rigorous Statistical Analysis
Immune monitoring of functional responses is a fundamental parameter to establish correlates of protection in clinical trials evaluating vaccines and therapies to boost antigen-specific responses. The IFNg ELISPOT assay is a well-standardized and validated method for the determination of functional IFNg-producing T-cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC); however, its performance gre...
متن کاملResting of Cryopreserved PBMC Does Not Generally Benefit the Performance of Antigen-Specific T Cell ELISPOT Assays
T cell monitoring is increasingly performed using cryopreserved PBMC. It has been suggested that resting of PBMC after thawing, that is, culturing them overnight in test medium, produces higher antigen-induced spot counts in ELISPOT assays. To evaluate the importance of overnight resting, we systematically tested cryopreserved PBMC from 25 healthy donors. CEF peptides (comprising CMV, EBV and f...
متن کاملOptimizing the cryopreservation of murine splenocytes for improved antigen-specific T cell function in ELISPOT
ELISPOT assays are routinely used to measure immune responses of T cells in fresh and frozen splenocytes preparations; however, standardized methods for murine ELISPOT are not widely available. Freezing cells can significantly impact the function of T cells. The aim of this study was to optimize cryopreservation protocols to retain antigen-specific T cell function at similar levels as freshly i...
متن کاملDoes the number of apoptotic cells in PBMC reveal the extent of impairment in T cell functionality?
As soon as PBMC are isolated cells start dying. The rate of apoptotic cell death increases when PBMC are shipped, cryopreserved or stored under suboptimal conditions. Apoptotic cells secrete mediators such as Lactoferrin that suppress inflammation while promoting phagocytosis. The presence of apoptotic cells in PBMC may modulate functionality in antigen-specific T cell assays such as ELISPOT or...
متن کاملDevelopment and validation of a gamma interferon ELISPOT assay for quantitation of cellular immune responses to varicella-zoster virus.
Cell-mediated immunity appears to be critical for the prevention and control of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection and complications arising from zoster. Current assays of VZV-specific cell-mediated immunity are cumbersome or lack sensitivity. We have developed a gamma interferon ELISPOT assay that provides a direct measure of the number of T cells secreting a cytokine following stimulation...
