Figure Lengend Snippet: Glioma-derived primary cell culture. Representative images of primary cultures derived from different glioma grades. Almost all cells were GFAP positive (some with very low expression, green). DAPI was used to stain the nucleus (blue). Scale bar = 100 µm (A-C). No difference between LGG and HGG was observed in primary cell culture regarding CD38, CD39, and CD73 ectoenzymes protein and mRNA expression (D-K). Cells were incubated with ATP 100 μM for 15, 30, and 60 min, and nucleotides and nucleosides metabolism was evaluated by HPLC. LGG cell cultures show a significant increase in ADO production compared to HGG (L-O). The experiment was performed in triplicate using primary cell cultures derived from eleven patients with different glioma grades. Data is shown as the mean ± SD
Article Snippet: Flow cytometry of tumor-infiltrated leukocytes and peripheral blood immune cells After being isolated, tumor-infiltrated leukocytes and PBMC were blocked for non-specific binding using a FACS buffer (Phosphate Buffered Saline + 2% FBS) and stained with the following panel: CD45-V500 (clone: HI30, cat. 560,777) / CD4-Pacific Blue (clone: RPA-T4, cat. 558,116) / CD39-FITC (clone: TU66, cat. 561,444) / CD73-PE (clone: AD2, cat. 550,257)/ CD19-PE-Cy7 (clone: SJ25C1, cat. 557,835) / CD8-APC (clone: RPA-T8, cat. 555,369) / CD38-APCH7 (clone: HB7, cat. 656,646) (BD Biosciences, USA) for 30 min at 4ºC.
