In the past years, single B cell technologies have evolved and over-come conventional methods' limitations, enabling the isolation of scarce B cell populations with desirable characteristics. In this study, we describe a simple and efficient method to isolate anti-gen-specific plasmablasts and memory B cells from hepatitis B virus vaccinated donors' peripheral blood and consequently amplification of immunoglobulin variable region genes. Amplified immunoglobulin variable region genes were cloned into expression vectors and transfected into a human cell line to produce human recombinant monoclonal antibodies. Major challenges in this protocol were isolation of antigen-specific B cells based on surface markers, recovering mRNA from a single cell for efficient amplification, and cloning the correct insert into a desired expression vector. The essential feature of our protocol was the separation of B cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells before sorting. We identified antigen-specific binding B cells based on the expression of surface markers CD19, CD27, IgG, and binding to hepatitis B surface antigen. Efficient single-cell reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were achieved using a random primer mix and Kapa Hifi Hot Start Polymerase. Amplification efficiency differed among heavy and light chain variable regions (highest at heavy chain (68 %) and lowest at lambda light chain (22 %)). After co-transfection of HEK293T/17 with successfully cloned heavy and light chain vectors, 70 % of transfected cells produced recombinant monoclonal antibodies at a concentration ∼ 4 μg/ml and 7 % of them showed binding to HBsAg. Human monoclonal antibodies from peripheral blood have advantages over antibodies of mouse origin or phage display libraries, because of their high specificity and self-tolerance.

For qualitative analysis, LFI does not require a device (i.e., reader) to interpret test results. However, various studies have been conducted to implement quantitative analysis using LFI systems, incorporating LFI along with electrical/electronic readers, to overcome the limitations associated with qualitative LFI analysis. The reader used for the quantitative analysis of LFI should ensure mobility for easy on-site diagnostics and inspections, be user-friendly in operation, and have a fast processing speed until the results are obtained. Due to these requirements, smartphones are increasingly utilized as readers in quantitative analysis of LFI. Among the various components constituting a smartphone, high-performance cameras can serve as sensors converting visual signals into electrical signals. With powerful processing units, large storage capacity, and network capabilities for transmitting analysis results, smartphones are also utilized as interfaces for quantitative analysis. Absolutely, the widespread global use of smartphones is a key advantage, leading to their utilization as diagnostic devices for acquiring, analyzing, storing, and transmitting assay test results. This paper summarizes research cases where smartphones are utilized as readers for quantitative LFI systems used in confirming contamination in food or the environment, detecting drugs, and diagnosing diseases in humans or animals. The systems are classified based on the types of label particles used in the assay, and efforts to improve the quantitative analysis performance for each are examined.

They are responsible for functions related to hemostasis, coagulation, and inflammation. The activation of these processes depends on a cascade coordinated by cytokines, chemokines, and components of purinergic signaling, such as ATP, ADP, and adenosine. Platelets express distinct components of the purinergic system: P2X1, P2Y1, PY12, and P2Y14 receptors; and the ectonucleotidases NTPDase, NPP, and 5NTE (ecto-5′-nucleotidase). Except for P2Y14, which has not yet exhibited a known function, all other components relate to the biological processes mentioned before. Platelets are known to display specific responses to microorganisms, being capable of recognizing pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), engulfing certain classes of viruses, and participating in NETosis. Platelet function dysregulation implicates various pathophysiological processes, including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and infections. In COVID-19 patients, platelets exhibit altered purinergic signaling and increased activation, contributing to inflammation. Excessive platelet activation can lead to complications from thrombosis, which can affect the circulation of vital organs. Therefore, controlling the activation is necessary to end the inflammatory process and restore homeostasis. Ectonucleotidases, capable of hydrolyzing ATP, ADP, and AMP, are of fundamental importance in activating platelets, promising pharmacological targets for clinical use as cardiovascular protective drugs. In this review, we revisit platelet biology, the purinergic receptors and ectonucleotidases on their surface, and their importance in platelet activity. Additionally, we describe methods for isolating platelets in humans and murine, as well as the main techniques for detecting the activity of ectonucleotidases in platelets. Considering the multitude of functions revealed by platelets and their potential use as potent bioreactors able to secrete and present molecules involved in the communication of the vasculature with the immune system, it is crucial to deeply understand platelet biology and purinergic signaling participation to contribute to the developing of therapeutic strategies in diseases of the cardiovascular, inflammatory, and immune systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16000,"journal":{"name":"Journal of immunological methods","volume":"533 ","pages":"Article 113746"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142055747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We demonstrate a dynamic range of whole blood dilutions that give a robust ex vivo cytokine response to stimuli. Additionally, a wide range of stimulant concentrations can be utilized to induce cytokine production. Further modifications demonstrate anticoagulated whole blood can be stored up to 24 h at room temperature without losing significant functionality. Finally, we show ex vivo stimulation can be as brief as 4 h allowing for a substantial decrease in processing time.

Thereafter, designing new treatments with higher specificity and efficacy is urgently required. In this regard, targeted immunotherapy using immunotoxins has shown great promise in treating cancer. To target a breast cancer cell, the authors used the antibody fragment against a receptor tyrosine kinase, EphA2, which is overexpressed in many cancers. This fragment was conjugated to a plant toxin, subunit A of ricin, in two different orientations from N to C-terminal (EphA2- C-Ricin and EphA2- N-Ricin). Then, these two immunotoxins were characterized using <em>in vitro</em> cell-based assays. Three different cell lines were treated, MDA-MB-231 (breast cancer) which has a high level of EphA2 expression, MCF-7 (breast cancer) which has a low level of EphA2 expression, and HEK293 (human embryonic kidney) which has a very low level of EphA2 expression. Moreover, binding ability, cytotoxicity, internalization, and apoptosis capacity of these two newly developed immunotoxins were investigated. The flow cytometry using Annexin V- Propidium iodide (PI) method indicated significant induction of apoptosis only in the MDA-MB-231 cells at different concentrations. It was also found that construct I, EphA2- C-Ricin immunotoxin, could bind, internalize, and induce apoptosis better than the EphA2- N-Ricin immunotoxin.
