Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
o-HA (6~10 disaccharides, 4-5 kDa) was prepared by hyaluronidase degradation methods 29 (link), 30 (link). One hundred milligram of h-HA was dissolved in 50 mL of 0.1 M sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.4) containing 0.15 M NaCl, and then digested by 20000 units of bovine testicular hyaluronidase (Sigma) incubating at 37 oC. At regular intervals (2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 h), 10 mL aliquots were removed and the reaction was terminated by the addition of 1 mL of 100% Trichloroacetic acid (TCA, Sigma). The precipitate was eliminated by centrifugation and the supernatants from different time was mixed. The aliquots were dialyzed against distilled water with dialysis membrane (MWCO, 1000 Da) for 72 h at 4 oC. The internal solution was dialyzed against distilled water with dialysis membrane (MWCO, 5000 Da) for another 72 h. At last, the external phase was collected, followed by lyophilized. Lyophilized o-HA was preserved at 4 oC.
The o-HA samples were further characterized by Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) to determine macromolecular weight and weight distribution. The samples were dissolved in chloroform and cast on KBr plate, and the Fourier Transforms Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra were kept. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Analysis (1H NMR) was used to characterize chemical composition.

Bacterial Cultivation and Protein Extraction Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bacterial cultivation and extracellular protein extraction were
carried out as described previously.19 (link) Briefly,
all bacterial isolates were grown in triplicate overnight (14–16
h) in 10 mL tryptic soy broth (TSB, OXOID, Basingstoke, UK) under
vigorous shaking (115 rpm) at 37 °C in a water bath. The cultures
were then diluted into 10 mL prewarmed Roswell Park Memorial Institute
1640 (RPMI) medium supplemented with 2 mM glutamine (GE Healthcare/PAA,
Little Chalfont, United Kingdom) to an optical density at 600 nm (OD600) of 0.1 and cultivation was continued under the same conditions.
Exponentially growing cells with an OD600 of ±0.5
were again diluted into 20 mL of fresh prewarmed RPMI 1640 medium
to a final OD600 of 0.1 and their cultivation was continued
until an OD600 of ±1.3 was reached, which corresponds
to the stationary growth phase. Then, growth medium fractions were
collected by centrifugation. Proteins in the growth medium were precipitated
overnight with 10% trichloroacetic acid (TCA, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis,
USA) on ice. The precipitated proteins were collected by centrifugation.
Pellets of precipitated proteins were washed once with ice-cold acetone,
dried at room temperature and stored at −20 °C until further
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.
