[0033] In summary, β-ME is added to the digestive fluid: 1) Improve T cell activity through antioxidant effects β-ME is a powerful antioxidant that can effectively reduce the oxidative stress of cells during culture. During cell culture, oxidative stress may cause cell damage, especially affecting the integrity of cell membranes, proteins and DNA. By adding β-ME, harmful substances such as hydrogen peroxide in the culture environment can be neutralized, protecting cells from oxidative damage, thereby improving cell vitality.
[0034] 2) Improve T cell viability by maintaining the reduced state of cells β-ME, as a reducing agent, can maintain the balance of the reducing state in cells. In cell culture, some cells may become dysfunctional or die due to redox imbalance. β-ME helps maintain the reducing environment in cells by reacting with disulfide bonds in cells (especially disulfide bonds in proteins), thereby enhancing the cell's ability to adapt to environmental changes. This is essential for the survival and functional maintenance of immune cells such as T cells.
[0035] 3) Protect T cell surface receptors and functional proteins During T cell culture, β-ME can help protect cell surface receptors and other functional proteins from oxidation, especially during immune response, surface molecules such as T cell receptors (TCR) need to maintain a certain reduction state in order to correctly bind to the MHC molecules of antigen presenting cells. By adding β-ME, these key proteins can be ensured not to be oxidized, thereby maintaining the function and proliferation of T cells.
[0036] 4) Promote T cell release by reducing disulfide bond formation β-ME can destroy disulfide bonds in the skin tissue matrix, reduce adhesion between tissue cells, and promote the release of T cells from the tissue.
[0037] Add vitamin C to digestive juice: 1) Reduce T cell oxidative damage through antioxidant effects Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can remove free radicals and oxidants produced during cell culture, such as harmful substances such as hydrogen peroxide. Oxidative stress is a common source of cell damage during T cell culture, especially under high-density culture. Vitamin C helps maintain the health of T cells and increases their survival rate and function by reducing these oxidative damages.
[0038] 2) Maintaining a reducing environment within T cells Vitamin C is a powerful reducing agent that can maintain the reduced state within T cells, prevent the formation of disulfide bonds within the cells, maintain the reduced state of proteins including the T cell receptor (TCR) and other proteins involved in the immune response, and maintain T cell functions including TCR activation and signal transduction.
[0039] 3) Improve T cell effector function Vitamin C can promote T cells to produce cytokines and increase cytokine secretion, thereby enhancing the immune response of T cells, and improve the effector function of T cells by regulating intracellular metabolic pathways.

[0043] 3. If Figure 4 As shown, place the mouse skin tissue in a clean culture dish, add 1 ml of mouse skin digestion complex enzyme solution to moisten it, and cut it into 1 mm pieces with surgical scissors. 2 size, pour into a 50ml centrifuge tube, add 5ml mouse skin digestion complex enzyme solution, such as Figure 5 Digestion was performed at 37°C, 225 rpm in a shaker for 45 min as indicated.
[0044] 4. Prepare digestion stop solution: containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 100µM β-ME at a final concentration, pre-cool on ice, remove the skin tissue from the shaker, and add 10ml of stop solution to stop digestion. Figure 6 As shown; 5. Vortex the skin tissue solution for 10 seconds and then grind and filter it on a 100 μm filter. Figure 7 The filtrate was centrifuged at 300 g for 10 min at 4°C as indicated.
[0045] 6. Purify the mouse skin T cells in the precipitate by percoll density gradient centrifugation: resuspend the precipitated cells in 4 mL of 30% Percoll, transfer to a 15 ml centrifuge tube pre-added with 3 ml of 60% Percoll, centrifuge at 4°C, 800 g for 20 min, aspirate the upper layer solution, collect the middle layer T cells into a new 15 ml centrifuge tube, as shown in Figure 6.

[0048] Add β-ME to digestion solution and stop solution: 1) Improve T cell activity through antioxidant effects β-ME is a powerful antioxidant that can effectively reduce the oxidative stress of cells during culture. During cell culture, oxidative stress may cause cell damage, especially affecting the integrity of cell membranes, proteins and DNA. By adding β-ME, harmful substances such as hydrogen peroxide in the culture environment can be neutralized, protecting cells from oxidative damage, thereby improving cell vitality.
[0049] 2) Improve the survival rate of T cells by maintaining the reduced state of cells β-ME, as a reducing agent, can maintain the balance of the reducing state in cells. In cell culture, some cells may become dysfunctional or die due to redox imbalance. β-ME helps maintain the reducing environment in cells by reacting with disulfide bonds in cells (especially disulfide bonds in proteins), thereby enhancing the cell's ability to adapt to environmental changes. This is essential for the survival and functional maintenance of immune cells such as T cells.
[0050] 3) Protect T cell surface receptors and functional proteins During T cell culture, β-ME can help protect cell surface receptors and other functional proteins from oxidation, especially during immune response, surface molecules such as T cell receptors (TCR) need to maintain a certain reduction state in order to correctly bind to the MHC molecules of antigen presenting cells. By adding β-ME, these key proteins can be ensured not to be oxidized, thereby maintaining the function and proliferation of T cells.
[0051] 4) Promote T cell release by reducing disulfide bond formation β-ME can destroy disulfide bonds in the skin tissue matrix, reduce adhesion between tissue cells, and promote the release of T cells from the tissue.
