Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The human bladder cancer cell line UM-UC-3 was purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA) [34 (link)]. A LNSC line, HK [35 (link)], which resembles mesenteric LNSC functionally [16 (link), 24 (link), 36 (link)], was used. HK cells show the LNSC phenotype expressing CD320, CD44, α-SMA as well as CXCL12, IL-6, and IL-8 [16 (link)].
UM-UC-3 cells were cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY), 2 mM glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin G, and 100 mg/ml streptomycin (Irvine Scientific, Santa Ana, CA) at 37° C in a 5% CO2 humidified incubator. HK cells were maintained in RPMI media supplemented with 10% FBS, 2 mM glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin G, and 100 mg/ml streptomycin [37 (link)]. HK cells can be isolated, grown, and expanded for up to 15 passages in vitro.

Frozen PBMCs were thawed, washed twice in RPMI (Invitrogen) with 10% human AB serum, and rested at 37°C overnight. Cells were suspended in RPMI with 10% human AB serum, HEPES (Gibco BRL), glutamine, penicillin, streptomycin (Irvine Scientific), and 2‐mercaptoethanol (Sigma‐Aldrich) and cultured in 24‐well plates at a concentration of 1–3 × 106 cells/mL with 50 ng/mL PMA (Sigma) and 1 mM ionomycin (Sigma). One microlitre of Brefeldin A (BD Bioscience) per millitre medium was added at the beginning of the culture. After 4 h cultured cells were washed twice. Th1/Tc1, Th2/Tc2, and Th17/Tc17 cells were identified by their intracellular co‐expression of IFN‐γ and the transcription factor T‐bet for Th1/Tc1,36 IL‐4 and GATA‐3 for Th2/Tc2,43 and IL‐17 and the transcription factor RORγt for Th17/Tc1744 (Table3C). The frequency of cells co‐expressing cytokines and transcription factors was measured by intracellular stain and flow cytometry. In addition, the relative frequency of CD4+ or CD8+ T cells that express IL‐2, IL‐4, IFN‐γ, TNF‐α, or IL‐17 was determined by intracellular stain. All cytokine‐positive T cell subsets were analysed in blinded fashion.

Reproductive tracts from GFP-CETN2-expressing males were collected intact into warm PBS after sacrificed by IACUC-approved protocols. After fat pad and mesenchymal tissues removal, the reproductive tracts were dissected into sections (testis, caput, upper corpus, middle upper corpus, mid-corpus, lower corpus, cauda, vas deferens) and placed individually into modified Human Tubal Fluid (HTF) medium without calcium or protein supplementation [mHTF-Hepes: 97.8 mM NaCl/4.69 mM KCl/0.20 mM MgSO4▪7H2O/0.37 mM KH2PO4/4.0 mM NaHCO3/21.0 mM HEPES/2.78 mM glucose/21.4 mM sodium lactate/100 U/ml penicillin/100 μg/ml streptomycin/5 mg/liter phenol red; formulation modified from Irvine Scientific, Santa Ana, CA] kept at 37°. Testicular cells and epididymal sperm were extruded with fine forceps or a sterile 30-guage needle, with care taken to avoid sample mixing. Testicular cells and sperm suspensions were passed through sterile 40-μm nylon mesh filters (Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA) to remove large cellular debris, centrifuged at 400 × g for 10 minutes at room temperature, and pellets suspended in fresh warm mHTF-Hepes at 37 °C until use.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Aspergillus fumigatus strains Af293 and CEA10 were grown on Sabouraud agar (Difco) at 37 °C for 5–7 days prior to use. The conidia were harvested by rinsing the plate with PBS containing 0.1 % Tween 80 (Sigma-Aldrich) and enumerated using a haemacytometer. For use in the experiments, the A549 type II pneumocyte cell line [American Type Culture Collection (ATCC)] was grown in F-12 K medium (ATCC) containing 10 % FBS (Gemini Bio-Products) and 1 % streptomycin and penicillin (Irvine Scientific) in 5 % CO2 at 37 °C. The day before the experiments, approximately 7×105 A549 cells in 2 ml of growth medium were cultured in each well of a six-well tissue culture plate. The next day, the A549 cells were gently rinsed twice with serum-free F-12 K medium. Next, 1×106 conidia of each strain in 2 ml of F-12 K medium were added to individual wells of the six-well tissue culture plate. Control wells contained uninfected A549 cells and organisms incubated in F-12 K medium in the absence of A549 cells. After 6 and 16 h of incubation, RNA was extracted from the A549 cells and from A. fumigatus strains using the RiboPure Kit (Ambion, Life Technology) and purified using the RNA Clean and Concentrator Kit (Zymo Research).

serum and rested at 37°C overnight. Cells were resuspended in RPMI with
10% human AB serum, HEPES (Gibco BRL), glutamine, penicillin,
streptomycin (Irvine Scientific), and 2-mercaptoethanol (Sigma-Aldrich) and

Ionomycin (Sigma). 1 μl of Brefeldin A (BD Bioscience) per ml medium was
added at the beginning of the culture. After 4 hours cultured cells were washed
twice. Th1 and Th2 cells were identified by their intracellular co-expression of
either IFN-γ and the transcription factor T-bet [25 (link)], or IL-4 and the transcription factor
GATA-3 [11 (link)],
respectively. Pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-2, TNF-α, and IL-17, as well

For cytokine analysis, 100 [.proportional]l of culture supernatant was collected from each well and concentrations of IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17A, IFN-γ, and TNF-α were determined by Flow Cytometry using the Th1/Th2/Th17 Cytometric Bead Array following the manufacturer's instructions (BD Biosciences). IL-22 and TGF-β were measured using ELISA kits according to the manufacturer's instructions (eBioscience). For intracellular cytokine staining, for the last four hours of culture, 1 [.proportional]l of BD GolgiPlug per ml medium was added to each culture and swirled gently to mix thoroughly. Cultured cells were washed twice and labeled with anti-CD4 mAb. Intracellular IL-4, IL-10, IL-17A, TNF-α, IL-2, IL-6, IFN-γ, and IL-22 content was determined by Flow Cytometry using cytokine-specific antibodies according to the manufacturer's instructions (BD Biosciences).

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.
