Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite that can invade any cell in the human body. Here, we implemented and described an ex vivo model with human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) without using culture supplements/antibiotics and without cryopreserved cells (EXMOWS) to study the interactions between T. gondii and human cells. To establish the EXMOWS, three independent tests were carried out. Firstly, blood samples from 5 individuals were included to assess the viability and adherence of PBMCs in plate culture. In a second trial, blood samples from three seropositive and two seronegative individuals for T. gondii were used to evaluate human PBMCs cells: parasites, multiplicity of infection (MOI) 1:1, 1:3 and 1:5 at different times post infection (1 h, 6 h and 24 h). The possible immunomodulatory effect of the infection for this EXMOWS were evaluated in a third trial where HFF cells were infected with T. gondii and co-cultured with PBMCs obtained from anti-Toxoplasma IgG positive and IgG negative individuals. One hour was enough time for T. gondii infection of human PBMCs and 2 h was the minimum incubation time to guarantee adherence before carrying out any infection assay. A minimum of 1:3 MOI was necessary to guarantee efficient infection in human PBMCs with T. gondii RH-GFP. All protocols, including PBMCs isolation and stimulation, should be conducted the same day. This EXMOWS can be adapted to study the early stages of interaction with other microorganisms of human interest, without need of using cryopreservation and supplements/antibiotics.
刚地弓形虫是一种可以侵入人体任何细胞的寄生虫。在这里,我们实施并描述了一种使用人类外周血单核细胞(PBMCs)的体外模型,该模型无需使用培养补充剂/抗生素且不使用冷冻保存的细胞(EXMOWS)来研究弓形虫与人类细胞的相互作用。为了建立 EXMOWS,进行了三项独立的测试。首先,纳入了 5 个人的血液样本,以评估 PBMCs 在板培养中的活力和黏附性。在第二项试验中,使用来自 3 个弓形虫血清阳性和 2 个血清阴性个体的血液样本,评估人类 PBMCs 细胞:寄生虫、感染复数(MOI)1:1、1:3 和 1:5 在感染后不同时间(1 小时、6 小时和 24 小时)。在第三次试验中,评估了感染对这种 EXMOWS 的可能免疫调节作用,其中 HFF 细胞被弓形虫感染,并与来自抗弓形虫 IgG 阳性和 IgG 阴性个体的 PBMCs 共培养。T. gondii 感染人类 PBMCs 的时间为 1 小时,进行任何感染测定之前保证黏附的最小孵育时间为 2 小时。需要至少 1:3 的 MOI 来保证弓形虫 RH-GFP 对人类 PBMCs 的有效感染。所有方案,包括 PBMCs 的分离和刺激,都应在同一天进行。这种 EXMOWS 可以适应研究与其他人类感兴趣的微生物早期相互作用的阶段,而无需使用冷冻保存和补充剂/抗生素。
