A protocol to detect human CD4+ T cell extracellular traps using scanning electron microscopy

Abstract

We present a protocol to detect extracellular traps (ETs) induced by Cutibacterium acnes in cultured TH17 clones. We first describe the isolation of C. acnes-specific TH17 clones by sterile cell sorting. We then detail the in vitro induction of ETs in TH17 clones stimulated by C. acnes and the imaging of released ETs using scanning electron microscopy. This protocol can be applied to the study of other ETs released by other T cell subsets. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Agak et al. (2021).1.
