The purity of isolated NK cells (>95%) and expression of surface receptors were determined by flow cytometry using a FACSCalibur (BD-Biosciences). NK cell population was defined as NKp46+CD3 cells.
Changes in the expression of NK cell receptors were examined using the following antibodies: anti-NKp30 PE (Biolegend), anti-NKp44 PE (Biolegend), anti-NKG2D PE (BD-Biosciences), anti-CD16 FITC (Miltenyi Biotec), anti-CD56 FITC and APC (BD-Biosciences), anti-2B4 FITC (Biolegend), anti-NTB-A PE (Biolegend), anti-Dectin-1 PE, anti-TLR-2 PE and anti-TLR-4 PE (BD-Biosciences). Apoptotic NK cells were assessed after an incubation time of 9 h using Annexin V FITC (BD-Biosciences) after staining cells with the surface marker antibodies anti-NKp46 PE, anti-CD3 PerCP and anti-CD56 APC. Intracellular expression of CD56 after incubation with germ tubes for 6 h was investigated by firstly staining CD56 on the cell surface with anti-CD56 FITC (BD-Biosciences). Then, cells were fixed (4% formaldehyde), permeabilized (Wash Perm, BD-Biosciences) and intracellular CD56 was stained using anti-CD56 APC (BD-Biosciences). To remove surface markers, NK cells were incubated in 0.5% trypsin-EDTA (Sigma) for 30 min at 37 °C before samples were stained. All data were analyzed with FlowJo software (Tree Star Inc.).

PBMCs were either infected with parasites of L braziliensis or left uninfected. Infected and uninfected PBMCs were then incubated separately for 8 h and 24 h at 37°C, 5% CO2. Cells were then stained with anti-CD14 monoclonal antibodies (PerCP Cy-5.5), anti-CD16 (APC), anti-TLR2 (PE) and anti-TLR4 (PE) for 15 min 4°C in the dark (BD-Bioscience). The cells were washed with PBS (1,500 rpm, 5 min, 4°C), fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, and permeabilized with Perm Wash solution for 15 min at 4°C in the dark (BD-Bioscience). Intracellular staining was performed with anti-TNF and anti-IL-10 (FITC) antibodies for 30 min. After this period, the cells were washed and suspended in 400 μl PBS for flow cytometry analysis on BD FACS CANTOII. A total of 200,000 events were acquired. Data analysis was performed using FlowJo program (Free Star Inc.).

The expression of surface TLR4, CD11c and CCR2 on each macrophage was measured by flow cytometric analysis. Briefly, the cells (2 × 105 cells) were treated with FcR blocker (mouse normal serum, Biomeda, Foster City, CA, USA) for 30 min on ice, and then stained in ice-cold PBS containing 0.3% BSA and 0.05% NaN3 with the following antibodies: Anti-TLR4-PE, anti-CD11c-FITC and isotype controls (BD Bioscience, San Diego, CA, USA), and CCR2 (anti-mouse CCR2 rabbit polyclonal antibody, Abcam, Cambridge, UK). F-actin was stained by phalloidin (Acti-stain™ 555 phalloidin, Cytoskeleton, Denver, CO, USA). The flow cytometric analysis was performed using the FACSCalliber™ Flow Cytometry System with the CellQuest software package (BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). The change in the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) between anti-TLR4 and CD11c antibodies and each isotype control were obtained to quantify the expression of each marker.

Peritoneal macrophages isolated from male C57BL6/j mice (8-week-old) were treated with 1 µg of LPS (Alexa Fluor 488, E. coli Serotype O55:B5, Invitrogen Molecular Probes, Eugene, Oregon, USA) in the absence or presence of various concentrations of recombinant human CETP (Roar Biomedical, NY, USA) (0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 µg/mL) diluted in RPMI and stained with the monoclonal antibodies; we utilized anti-mouse F4/80 PerCP/Cy5.5 a monoclonal antibody directed specifically against the mouse macrophage; for TLR4 we utilized anti-TLR4-PE (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). NF-κB: rabbit anti-mouse Phospho-NF-κB p65 Alexa Fluor 647 Conjugate (Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., Boston, MA, USA) was diluted at 1 : 100. We utilized Cytofix (BD Biosciences, San Jose, USA) for surface label and Cytofix/Cytoperm (BD Biosciences, San Jose, USA) for intracellular label. Basal fluorescence was determined in unmarked cells and compensation made with cells labeled with the respective fluorochromes. Samples were acquired on FACSCanto, using FACSDiva software (BD Biosciences) and then were analyzed with FlowJo software (Tree Star, Ashland, OR, USA). Fluorescence voltages were determined using matched unstained cells. Fifty thousand events were acquired in a live mononuclear gate.

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.
