Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
1 μg of appropriate siRNA or control siRNA were added to the RAW264.7 cells to achieve transfection of the desired level, following manufacturer's instructions (Santa Cruz Biotechnology; sc-40261, sc-40257 & sc-45987 for TLR4 siRNA, TLR2 siRNA & MyD88 siRNA, respectively). Briefly, 100 μl siRNA Transfection Medium (prepared as per manufacturer’s protocol) has been added to RAW264.7 (106) cells, for 6 h. Then the cells are washed to remove the medium and been infected with Leishmania parasites followed by treatment with Q-gal or K-gal. Pepinh-TRIF (TRIF Peptide Inhibitory; Cat Code: tlrl-pitrif) brought from InvivoGen. Briefly, the assay with Pepinh-TRIF involves platting of RAW264.7 cells (106) in presence or absence of Pepinh-TRIF (100 μM), for 6 h, followed by infection and treatment with Leishmania parasites and Q-gal/K-gal respectively.

Investigating TLR3's Role in Cytokine-Induced IFN-γ

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To examine the indispensable role of TLR3 on IL-2 þ IL-12-induced IFN-c production, KHYG-1 cells were treated with a TRIF inhibitor. KHYG-1 cells were seeded into 24-well plates (5 Â 10 5 cells/well) and incubated with 12.5 mg/mL poly(I:C) and 50 mM of the TRIF inhibitor peptide (Pepinh-TRIF, InvivoGen, San Diego, CA) for 24 h under presence or absence of IL-2 and IL-12. The optimal concentration of Pepinh-TRIF was suggested by the manufacturer and we confirmed Pepinh-TRIF had no cytotoxic effect on KHYG-1 cells by preliminary experiment (data not shown). The culture supernatants were collected and centrifuged at 3000g at 4 C for 5 min to remove cellular debris; samples were stored at À80 C until use.

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.
