| | I L-17A Secretion |
| Description: | This model allows measurement of the effect of inhibitors on IL-17A secretion by CD4+ cells. The cells are frozen CD4+ cells (STEMCELL, #70026), isolated from peripheral human blood and activated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies. The amount of IL-17a secreted is measured by the TR-FRET (kit HTRF Human Interleukin 17A (Cisbio, #64H17PEC)) technology.The cells are rapidly thawed, resuspended in their culture medium (RPMI inactivated 10% FCS) supplemented with soluble anti-CD28 antibodies and seeded (100 000 cells/well) in 96-well plates precoated with anti-CD3 antibodies. The cells are then treated with the ranges of inhibitors to be tested (from 1000 nM to 0.05 nM, 0.1% DMSO). After 4 days of incubation, the HTRF signal is measured using a microplate reader (λexcitation=337 nm, λemission=620/665 nm). The ratios obtained (665/620) are normalized relative to the positive control (cells activated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28, 0.1% DMSO). The IC50 values are calculated from a 4-parameter logistic model using the XLFit software (IDBS). |
