Procedure of SARS-CoV-2 reactive T cell analysis using the kit

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are cultured with the SARS-CoV-2 PepTivator

^®

Peptide Pool or control of choice (e.g. CytoStim™) for a total of 6 hours. Upon activation, cells start to upregulate activation markers and secrete cytokines. After 2 hours of cultivation, Brefeldin A is added to the cells to inhibit transport of proteins to the cellular membrane, thereby enabling intracellular cytokine staining.

After the stimulation phase cells are stained with the live/dead marker Viobility 405/452 Fixable Dye. Next, cells are fixed, permeabilized and stained for lineage and activation markers as well as cytokines using the flow panel provided in the kit. Cells are then analyzed by flow cytometry, e.g. on a MACSQuant

Specifications for SARS-CoV-2 T Cell Analysis Kits (PBMC), human

Overview

The SARS-CoV-2 T Cell Analysis Kit (PBMC), human has been developed for the fast and easy detection of SARS-CoV-2-reactive T cells by intra- and extracellular staining of activation markers and cytokines. The use of 96-well cell culture plates enables the processing and analysis of multiple samples in parallel. The kit contains a SARS-CoV-2 PepTivator

^®

Peptide Pool of choice (see different kit variants), antibodies for the identification of CD4

⁺

and CD8

⁺

T cells, the exclusion of monocytes and B cells as well as the staining of activation markers and cytokines. Furthermore a positive control (CytoStim), a live/dead marker (Viobility 405/452 Fixable Dye), Brefeldin A and reagents (Inside Fix and Inside Perm) for the fixation and permeabilization of cells after stimulation are included. The optimized flow panel and protocol ensure a comprehensive and efficient analysis of SARS-CoV-2-reactive T cells.

Detailed product information

Background information

T cells and CD8

⁺

T cells specifically recognizing and reacting towards a defined antigen provide important information to understand their function in various immunological situations. The presence of these cells indicate an infected or convalescent donor and may also allow conclusions on disease progress, severity, specific immune reaction and status

^1-6

. Antigen-reactive T cells can thereby be identified and characterized by analyzing their effector function, e.g. upregulation of activation markers and production of cytokines. In the context of COVID-19 the SARS-CoV-2 T cell Analysis kit (PBMC), human, represents a sensitive and precise multiparameter assay to efficiently asses the SARS-CoV-2-reactive T cell response.
