Neutrophil Chemotaxis Assay Using FluoroBlok

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Chemotaxis of purified neutrophils was assessed by means of FluoroBlok inserts (Falcon; BD). Cells (5 × 106/ml) were labeled with calcein-AM (1 µM final concentration; Molecular Probes) for 30 min at 37°C, washed twice, and resuspended in Hepes buffer at a concentration of 2 × 106/ml. Chemoattractant solution (PAF, IL-8, and C5a, all at 10 nM; Sigma-Aldrich) or medium alone (0.8 ml/well) was placed in a 24-well plate, and 0.3-ml cell suspension was delivered to the inserts (3-µm pore size) and placed in the 24-well plate. Cell migration was assessed by measuring fluorescence in the lower compartment at 2.5-min intervals for 45 min with the HTS7000+ plate reader (Perkin Elmer) at an excitation wavelength of 485 nm and emission wavelength of 535 nm. Maximal slope of migration was estimated over a 10-min interval.

Microencapsulated Protein Release Kinetics

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
AlexaFluor488-labeled IgG (goat anti-rabbit IgG, Life Technologies), bovine serum albumin-AlexaFluor488 conjugate (Life Technologies), 2-NBD-glucose (Life Technologies) or insulin (Sigma) tagged with AlexaFluor488 was dissolved in a 5% PEG-4MAL (10 kDa or 20 kDa) solution before being microencapsulated by macromer droplet gelation. To prevent proteins from being crosslinked by the macromer, thiols were capped using aminoethylate reagent (Thermo Scientific) according to product instructions. Particles were washed and resuspended in PBS and divided into 5 replicates containing 2 mL total volume. 50 µL samples were taken of supernatant alone, as well as of supernatant containing well-mixed, protein-laden microgels. These samples were placed in a 96 well plate, and their fluorescent intensity was measured using a Perkin Elmer HTS 7000 plate reader. To generate release curves, supernatant samples were collected over the course of 3 days, and their fluorescent intensity was measured. Protein release was normalized by setting fluorescent intensity of the supernatant alone correspond to 0% protein released, and fluorescent intensity of the buffer/microgel mixture correspond to 100% protein released. This data was plotted using GraphPad Prism, and exponential best fit curves were calculated from normalized data.

Chemotaxis Assay for BMDM and BMDN

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Chemotaxis of BMDM and BMDN was assessed by means of Fluoroblock inserts (Falcon, Colorado Springs, CO, USA). 6*105 BMDN or BMDM from WT and SIRPαΔcyt mice were labeled with calcein-AM (Molecular Probes, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and seeded on the upper chamber of 3μm or 8μm pores respectively. C5a (10nM) was used as a chemoattractant. Cell migration was assessed by measuring fluorescence in the lower compartment at 2’ intervals for 1h (BMDN) or 2h (BMDM) with a HTS7000+plate reader (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA, USA) at an excitation wavelength of 485 nm and emission wavelength of 535 nm.

HDL Antioxidant Capacity Measurement

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HDL was isolated from EDTA plasma by ultracentrifugation for measurement of triglyceride, cholesterol and protein content. HDL triglyceride and HDL cholesterol content was expressed as nmol per gram protein (nmol/g). HDL‐TG was calculated as the HDL triglyceride: total cholesterol ratio and expressed as nmol/nmol. The anti‐oxidative function of HDL was assessed by monitoring its capacity to inhibit the oxidation of dichlorodihydrofluorescein (Invitrogen) by oxidized 1‐palmitoyl‐2‐arachidonoyl‐phosphathidylcholine (Avanti Lipids).9 Briefly, in a total volume of 790 µL phosphate‐buffered saline (pH 7.4), 35 µL of a normal LDL solution (final concentration of 18 µmol/L cholesterol), 35 µL of test HDL cholesterol (final concentration of 11 µmol/L cholesterol), 20 µL oxidized 1‐palmitoyl‐2‐arachidonoyl‐sn‐phosphatidylcholine (final concentration 50 µmol/L), and 10 µL of dichlorofluorescein solution (final concentration of 40 µmol/L) were incubated in glass tubes for 2 hours at 37°C. Afterwards the fluorescence intensity was determined with a HTS 7000 plate reader (Perkin Elmer) at 485 and 530 nm (excitation and emission wavelength respectively). The intra‐assay CV was 3.4%.

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.
