For supernatant transfer assays to assess virion production, BAC16-containing iSLK cells were plated at a density of 1x106 cells in 10 cm dishes and treated with 1 ug/mL doxycycline and 1 mM sodium butyrate the following day. 72 h post induction, the supernatant was filtered through a 0.45 uM syringe filter and 2 ml of the supernatant was mixed with 1x106 freshly trypsinized HEK293T cells in a 6 well plate and centrifuged at 1,500xg for 2 h at 37°C. The following day, cells were trypsinized, fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and the percentage of cells expressing GFP was determined by flow cytometry (BD Csampler, BD Biosciences).

After wash, cells were incubated in the dark at 37°C for 30 minutes with 5 μM CM-H2DCFDA (Thermo Fisher Scientific, C6827) RPMI medium. After incubation, cells were washed 3 times with warm RPMI medium and then imaged using an Incucyte S3 live-cell analysis system (Sartorius) or quantified using a BD Accuri C6 and BD Csampler software.

P. soloecismus was grown in f/2 media containing half the recipe nitrogen and using Instant Ocean sea salt (Blacksburg, VA) at 38 g/L [31 ,32 (link)]. Cultures were grown at room temperature on a 16 hour light/8 hour dark cycle and mixed by stirring. PH was maintained at 8.25 with on-demand CO2 injection when the pH increased above the set-point. Cells were collected and stored at 4 °C prior to analysis.
Stained populations of cells were incubated with 22.6 µM BODIPY 505/515 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) with 2.8% DMSO in media for 30 minutes at room temperature prior to analysis. Analysis was conducted using a BD Accuri™ C6 flow cytometer with BD CSampler™ (BD Biosciences). Unstained samples were collected with a set volume of 10 µl on a high flow rate (66 µl/min), for stained samples 10,000 events were collected on a low flow rate (14 l/min). Data was exported in .csv format for subsequent analysis.

Cytotoxic Effects of Peptide Treatments

Cells were seeded into 96-well plates at a density of 5 × 105 cells/mL and incubated for 24 h in a medium containing 10% FBS at 37 °C in 5% CO2. Then, cells were treated with a medium containing 5 µM of peptides HB43, mut3, and 20 µM of mut2 and incubated for 12 h at 37 °C. Cells were washed with PBS and a hypotonic propidium iodide citrate stain (50 μg/mL in 0.1% trisodium citrate dihydride) containing 0.3 μL/mL of Nonidet P-40 was added. Finally, the adherent cells were harvested by scraping vigorously with a tip of a pipette to dislodge any cytoplasmic remnants from the lysed cells and kept at 4 °C until analysis. The stained cells were analyzed using a BD Accuri™ C6 flow cytometer integrated with a BD CSampler (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA).

Bile Salts Survival Assays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Porcine bile (B8631; Sigma) and bovine bile (B3883; Fluka) were diluted in MRS (Merck) to a final concentration of 0.5% (w/v) and 1% (w/v) bile salts, respectively. Low pH MRS was prepared by adding 1 M HCl to MRS, lowering the pH to pH 2. Freeze-dried cell samples were rehydrated for 20 min with 1 mL saline solution, vortexed and diluted 100 times in PBS (137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 10 mM Na2HPO4, 1.8 mM KH2PO4) to reach a target concentration. One mL samples were spun down for 2 min at 16,100×g. The cells were then resuspended in 1 mL MRS-bile salts or low pH-MRS and vortexed, immediately after which 100 µL samples were taken for flow cytometry analysis. The remaining samples with MRS-bile salt or low pH-MRS were then incubated at 37 °C and new samples for survivability assays were taken every 30 min. The survival of the cells was checked with a flow cytometer (BD Accuri C6 plus flow cytometer with a BD C sampler (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) using a protocol described below.

Cultures of hMSC were grown to subconfluence in medium supplemented with FGF-2. The cells were detached using 0.25% trypsin-0.20% EDTA (Sigma/Aldrich, ST Louis, MO) and were washed 3x with Tyrode’s solution. These cells were allowed to sit at 25° C for 1 hour before being fixed with 3% formalin in Tyrode’s solution. The cells were washed 3x with Tyrode’s solution before being counted and divided into aliquots for immunostaining. Primary antibody hybridoma medium (see below) (4C317 , 7D417 , 6C317 , PG-418 (link), CD7319 (link)) was added to samples for a 1 hour incubation at 37° C. These samples were washed 3× with Tyrode’s solution and were incubated with secondary anti-mouse IgG/IgM diluted 1/1000 in Tyrode’s solution. These samples were incubated at 37° C in the dark for 1 hour, washed 3x with Tyrode’s solution. An aliquot of each sample was taken for visualization as a suspension culture. The remainder of the sample was assayed using BD Accuri® C6 digital basic flow cytometer equipped with a BD CSampler (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA). The sample incubated with the 4C3 antibody was used as a negative control for gating. Each run assayed 10,000,000 counts.

The extracted foulant mixture was first passed through a 40 µm filter. The cell viability was quantified using a flow cytometer (BD, USA). Specifically, 1 mL of sample was stained with 1 µL of SYTO9 and PI each (Molecular Probes, USA). The sample was transferred to a flat-bottom well-plate for flow cytometry analysis (with an unstained sample as a control). Proprietary software (CSampler, BD, USA) was used to process the results. Counts in a defined region of a density plot were converted to live and dead cell counts.

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.
