Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The amount of 1 × 106 cpm of 32P-labeled oligonucleotides was dissolved in 1× PBS buffer containing 100 mM potassium chloride. The samples were denatured at 90°C for 6 min and then cooled to room temperature overnight. After this time, 200 μL of human serum from human male AB plasma (Sigma-Aldrich) was added, and the samples were incubated at 37°C. Aliquots of 5 μL were removed after 0, 10, 20, 40, 60, 120, 180, and 1,440 min of incubation and were then mixed with 5 μL of a 70% deionized formamide solution containing 50 mM EDTA and cooled on dry ice to quench the reaction. The samples were loaded on a 12% denaturing polyacrylamide gel prepared in 1× TBE buffer. PAGE in denaturing condition was performed in 1× TBE buffer at 20 W for 3 hr at room temperature. The resultant gel was imaged and quantified by storage phosphor technology using a Fuji PhosphorImager and MultiGauge Analysis Software.

Monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) were differentiated from monocytes isolated from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) using CD14 MicroBeads (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). The human PBMCs were collected from eight different healthy donors (Donors 1–8). The monocytes were differentiated by treatment with human macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF; PeproTech, London, UK) for 1 week. The MDMs were maintained in RPMI 1640 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Promega, Madison, WI, USA), 5% human serum from human male AB plasma (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), 0.2 % GlutaMax (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and 10 ng/mL M-CSF. HeLa and 293T cells were maintained in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific) supplemented with 10% FBS (Promega). All cells used in this study were cultured at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2.

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.
