Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The PBMCs (1 × 106) (n = 6/group) were collected from the experimental birds as mentioned above at 24 and 48 h post-booster and one mL of RiboZol™ (Amresco, USA) was added. Similarly, one mL of RiboZol™ was added to spleen tissue collected following sacrifice (n = 3/group). Total RNA extraction was done by phenol : chloroform and isopropanol method and the purity was checked by absorbance at 260 and 280 nm in a Nanodrop UV spectrophotometer. Total RNA was used for the preparation of cDNA employing Revertaid™ First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Thermo Scientific, USA), following manufacturer's instructions.
Quantification of the TGF-β4 gene was done by QuantiTect SYBR Green qPCR kit (Qiagen, CA, USA) on CFX96 Real Time System (Bio-Rad, CA, USA) following the published report [28 (link)]. β-actin served as the housekeeping gene. Published primer sequences were used for β-actin (F: 5′ TATGTGCAAGGCCGGTTT 3′, R: 5′ TGTCTTTCTGGCCCATACCAA 3′) [29 (link)] and TGF-β4 (F: 5′ CGGCCGACGATGAGTGGCTC 3′, R: 5′ CGGGGCCCATCTCACAGGGA 3′) [30 (link)] genes. Each sample was tested in triplicate on the same plate. Expression of TGF-β4 was calculated relative to the β-actin gene and expressed as n-fold increase or decrease relative to the control. The data of real time PCR was calculated by 2−ΔΔCt method [31 ].

As stem cell marker expression is crucial in cancer cell lines a distinct marker panel covering the canine genes CD44, CD133, c-KIT, CD34, ITGA6, MYC, NANOG, DDX5, KLF4, SOX2, MELK and OCT4 (assay details see previous reports [19 (link), 23 (link)]) was analyzed comparatively by relative quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) to evaluate stable transfection induced expression changes among CT1258 and fluorescent cell lines CT1258-FusionRed, CT1258-mKate2C and CT1258-TurboFP650.
Total RNA was extracted from CT1258 and fluorescent cells using RNeasy mini Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). cDNA synthesis was carried out using 500 ng of total RNA in 20 µl according to the manufacturer’s protocol for the QuantiTect Reverse Transcription Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). The qPCR reactions were performed using the ViiA™ 7 Real-Time PCR System (Life Technologies) and QuantiTect SYBR green qPCR Kit (Qiagen). ß-actin (ACTB) and Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (GAPDH) were used as endogenous control. The qPCR results were analyzed using the delta delta CT (ΔΔCT) method relative to CT1258 cells. For each cell line, three samples of different passages were used. All samples were analyzed in triplicates including non-template and non-reverse transcriptase controls for each reaction.

Gene expression was measured by quantitative PCR as reported [58 (link),59 (link)]. Briefly, RNA was extracted from BMDCs using the Trizol reagent (Invitrogen, Burlington, ON, Canada) and reverse transcribed using Superscript II (Invitrogen) and OligodT (Promega, Madison, WI, USA). Real-time PCR reactions were performed in a volume of 25 µL containing 10 ng of cDNA and 1 µM of each forward and reverse primers, using a Quantitect SYBR Green qPCR kit (Qiagen, Montreal, QC, Canada) in a Rotorgene 3000 instrument (Corbett Research, Sydney, Australia). Primer sequences used are listed in Table 1. Amplification plots were generated using Rotorgene Amplification software v6.0 (Corbett Research), and relative gene expression changes were calculated using the 2−ΔΔCt method and normalized using β-actin expression.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After formation of the lipid bilayer, TBCP was added in the cis chamber at a concentration of 10 µg.mL -1 and ionic current measurements were then recorded for a voltage of -100 mV. Once the first interactions between TBCP and the lipid membrane were observed, the pGL3-ctrl (Promega Madison, WI, USA; 5256 base pairs) plasmid DNA (pDNA) was added in the trans chamber at a concentration of about 160 µg.mL -1 . The ionic current was then applied again with a voltage of -100 mV. After 35 min, the solutions in cis and trans chambers were carefully collected to avoid any disruption of the membrane. The quantity of pDNA in each chamber was finally determined by using the QuantiTect SYBR Green qPCR kit (Qiagen, Chatsworth, CA, USA) in accordance with the manufacturers' recommendations, as previously reported.

Total RNA was extracted with TriZOL (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), quantified, and stored at −80 °C until analysis. Total RNA (1 µg) was reverse transcribed using the Quantitect reverse transcription kit (Qiagen, San Diego, CA, USA). PCR reactions were performed in duplicate with Quantitect SYBR green qPCR kit (Qiagen, San Diego, CA, USA) using approximately 50 ng of total cDNA equivalent per reaction. PCR was run with denaturation at 95 °C for 15 s, annealing at 51–55 °C for 20 s, and extension at 72 °C for 10 s/100 bp. The BioRad iCycler equipped with a real-time optical fluorescent detection system was used for SYBR Green detection. β-Actin was found to be a more stable housekeeping gene than 18S and RPL19 [55 (link)]. Primers were designed using the NCBI primer design tool and tested for efficiency; only primers with efficiency between 90 and 110% were selected. The primer sequences, together with their accession numbers, are shown in Table 3. Negative controls (no template) and positive controls (reference sample) were included. To obtain relative fold mRNA levels we used the delta/delta Ct method and DMSO-treated CO-ShUVECs as the control group.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
