Fibrinolysis Assay Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human fibrinogen, thrombin, FXa, FXIIIa, urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA), trizma base, and trizma HCl were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). Paranitroaniline chromogenic substrates were obtained from Chromogenix (Milan, Italy). Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated fibrinogen was purchased from Invitrogen (Eugene, OR, USA). Other reagents used were of analytical grade and purchased from commercial sources.

Fabrication of Porous MAP Scaffolds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fully swollen and equilibrated MAP building blocks (20 µL) were activated by with 5 U mL−1 FXIIIa (Sigma) and 1 U mL−1 thrombin, and the mixture was pipetted into a 3 mm diameter PDMS well on a glass coverslip and annealed in a humidified incubator at 37 °C for 1.5 h to form porous MAP scaffolds. Thereafter, the scaffolds were placed into HEPES buffer (pH 7.4) with 70 kDa dextran‐FITC (FD70S‐100MG, Sigma‐Aldrich) overnight to reach equilibrium. Samples were 3D imaged using a Leica TCS SP8 confocal microscope with 10× objective.

Fabrication of Porous MAP Scaffolds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fully swollen and equilibrated MAP or drugMAP building blocks (20 μL) were activated by with 5 U mL−1 FXIIIa (Sigma) and 1 U mL−1 thrombin (Sigma), and the mixture was pipetted into a 3 mm diameter PDMS well on a glass coverslip, and annealed in a humidified incubator at 37 °C for 1.5 h to form porous MAP or drugMAP scaffolds. Thereafter, the scaffolds were placed into HEPES buffer (pH 7.4) overnight to reach equilibrium. Samples were 3D imaged using a Leica TCS SP8 confocal microscope with 10× objective, spanning 1.16 mm × 1.16 mm (in x- and y-axis) × 200 μm (in z-axis). The pore size was analyzed using a custom script written in MATLAB and the void fraction was calculated using ImageJ (stack function).

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.
