Recombinant TcdB (from C. difficile strain VPI 10463) and TcdA were expressed in Bacillus megaterium as previously described49 (link) and purified as His6-tagged proteins. TcdB1-1830 was cloned into pHis1522 vector (MoBiTec) and expressed in B. megaterium. TcdB1831-2366, TcdB1501-2366, and TcdB1114-1835 were cloned into pGEX-6P-1 or pET28a vectors and purified as GST-tagged or His6-tagged proteins in E. coli. NG2-EC (P1 and P2) was expressed in HEK293 cells, purified from medium with DEAE-Sepharose columns, and eluted with a gradient buffer (NaCl from 0.2 to 0.8 M, 50 mM Tris-Cl, pH 8.6) as previously described50 (link). Recombinant human proteins were purchased from ACRO Biosystems (IgG1 Fc and FZD2-CRD-Fc), R&D Systems (FZD1-CRD-Fc, FZD5-CRD-Fc, and FZD7-CRD-Fc), and Sino Biologics (PVRL3-EC).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Phosphorylation of STAT3 by CD4+ T cells and CD19+ B cells was determined by phospho-specific flow cytometry. In brief, PBMCs were stained with CD3 BV510 (Biolegend) and CD19 Pe-Cy7 (Biolegend) for 30 min at RT in the dark. Next, the cells were incubated for 30 min at 37°C with various concentrations of the humanized anti-IL-21R antibody ATR-107 (Pfizer) or isotype-matched control (IgG1-Fc, R&D systems) followed by stimulation with recombinant human IL-21 (100 ng/ml, eBioscience) or recombinant human IL-6 (100 ng/ml, PeproTech, Rocky Hill, NJ, USA) for 15 min at 37°C. Cells were fixed for 10 min with Cytofix buffer (BD Biosciences) at 37°C and permeabilized 30 min in 1 ml methanol 90% at −20°C. Next, samples were stained with CD4 BV421 (Biolegend) and pSTAT3 PE (BD Biosciences). STAT3 phosphorylation was calculated as the median fluorescence intensity.

Plasmablast Formation from B Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
B cell stimulation with a minor cocktail of stimuli was performed to study the effect of IL-21, co-stimulation, and BCR activation on plasmablast formation. CD19+ B cells were isolated via CD43 negative selection with CD43 MicroBeads (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) (purities ≥85%). B cells were incubated with anti-IL-21R antibody ATR-107 (10 μg/ml, Pfizer) or isotype-matched control (10 μg/ml IgG1-Fc, R&D systems). Next, cells were stimulated with 5 μg/ml soluble anti-CD40 (Bioceros, Utrecht, The Netherlands), 10 μg/ml goat-anti-human IgM (Jackson Immunoresearch, West Grove, PA, USA) and human recombinant IL-21 (100 ng/ml, eBioscience). Subsequently, the presence of plasmablasts on day 0 and the differentiation of memory B cells into plasmablasts on day 8 were determined with flow cytometry. Plasmablasts were defined as CD19posCD27highCD38high cells (16 (link)). The following MoAbs were used: CD19 BV510 (Biolegend), CD27 Pe-Cy7 (eBioscience), IgD APC-Cy7 (Biolegend), and CD38 BV421 (BD Biosciences). In addition, viability staining with 7-AAD PerCP was performed (BD Biosciences).

Jag1-Fc Fusion Protein Injection in Treg-Depleted Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Foxp3DTR mice depleted of Tregs according to the early regimen were injected subcutaneously on days −2, −1, 1, and 3 into four adjacent dorsal skin sites with 1 µg control IgG1-Fc or Jag1-Fc fusion protein (both from R&D) conjugated to Affi-gel blue beads (100–200 mesh; Bio-Rad), as previously described (Chen et al., 2012 (link)). Briefly, per mouse: 1 µg of protein (in 10 µl) was soaked with 5 µl Affi-gel blue beads (corresponding to ~2000 beads) for 1 hour at 37° C. Total suspensi ons of 15 µl were then transferred into 29G 3/10 cc insulin syringes (BD) for subcutaneous injection of mice under anesthesia. HFSC Ki67 expression was assessed by flow cytometry on day 4.

Binding of CD44 to HA and PRG4 Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
High-binding microtiter plates (Corning, Sigma Aldrich, USA) were used to coat rhPRG4 (Mr=240 KDa), HMW HA (Mr=1,500 KDa) (R & D System, USA), MMW HA (Mr=300KDa) (R & D System) and vitronectin (Mr=75 KDa) (Sigma Aldrich) at 400μg/ml in PBS buffer (100μl per well) overnight at 4°C. rhPRG4 is a full-length product produced by CHO-M cells (Lubris, Framingham, MA, USA) [21 ]. Following washing with PBS+0.1% tween 20, wells were blocked with 2% bovine serum albumin (BSA; 300μl per well) for 2 hours at room temperature. CD44-IgG1Fc (R & D systems) or IgG1Fc (R & D systems), each at 1μg/ml (100μl per well), were added to the plate and incubated for 60 min at room temperature. Following washing with PBS+0.1% tween 20, anti-IgG1Fc-HRP (Sigma Aldrich) was added at 1:10,000 dilution (100μl per well) and incubated for 60 min at room temp. Following washing with PBS+0.1% tween 20, the assay was developed using 1-step Turbo TMB ELISA reagent (ThermoScientific, USA) and absorbance was measured at 450 nm. Data represents the average of 4 independent experiments, each with triplicate wells per group.

A high binding 96-well plate (Corning) was coated with ICAM-1 (R&D Systems) or IgG1 FC (R&D Systems) (10 μg/ml) for 2 h at 37°C. Non-specific binding was blocked with adhesion buffer (HBSS Ca2+ Mg2+ supplemented with 1% BSA) for 1 h at 37°C. Th1 rep cells were washed twice with PBS, resuspended in pre-warmed, equilibrated adhesion buffer (2 × 106 cells/ml) and starved for 1 h at 37°C and 5% CO2. PMA (10 ng/ml), Ionomycin (1 μg/ml) and CXCL10 (100 ng/ml, Immunotools) were added 10 min before the cell suspension was transferred into the coated wells (50 μl/well). Forty-five minutes after incubation and adhesion at 37°C and 5% CO2, the plate was washed 4 times with 250 μl warm adhesion buffer using an ELX washer according to the manufacturers recommendations. Adherent cells were detached with ice cold PBS/BSA/EDTA and counted using a MACSQuant (Miltenyi Biotec).

Phage-ELISA and Indirect ELISA for HER2 Detection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For phage-ELISA, the wells of 96-well black plates (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) were coated with 1000 ng of HER2-Fc, streptavidin (Wako, Osaka, Japan), or IgG1-Fc (R&D systems) and blocked with 2% Perfect-Block (MoBiTec, Göttingen, Germany) in PBS for 1 h. Phages (1 × 1010 pfu) were added to each well and incubated for 1 h. After washing the plate, the bound phages were detected with the anti-T7 fiber tail antibody (Merck Millipore) as a primary antibody and the anti-mouse IgG HRP-linked antibody (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA).
For indirect ELISA, the wells were first coated with 50 ng of HER2-Fc and then blocked with 2% Perfect-Block in PBS for 2 h. After incubation with sample proteins for 1 h, the HRP-conjugated anti-His-tag antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) was incubated for 1 h with the samples and then treated with the QuantaRed Enhanced Chemifluorescent HRP Substrate kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The resulting fluorescence was measured using an Infinite F500 (Tecan, Mannedorf, Switzerland) with specific filters (Ex/Em = 535 nm/590 nm).
For specificity evaluation, the wells were incubated overnight with HER2-Fc (50 ng/50 μL in PBS), EGFR-Fc (50 ng/50 μL in PBS; R&D systems), or 50 μL PBS, and applied to the indirect ELISA described above.

Degranulation was measured via addition of 2 μg/mL of anti-CD107a (Biolegend) for the duration of the assay. PMA and ionomycin were added to positive control wells at 0.5 μg/mL and 1 μg/mL, respectively, for the duration of the assay.

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.
