Streptavidin magnetic beads

Manufactured by BioLegend

Streptavidin magnetic beads are a type of laboratory equipment used for the separation and purification of biotinylated molecules. Streptavidin, a protein with a high affinity for biotin, is covalently attached to the surface of the magnetic beads, allowing for the efficient capture and isolation of biotin-labeled targets.

Cytotoxicity by splenocytes was assessed with a standard 4-hour 51Cr-release assay. ~24 hours after CDN or PBS treatment of tumors, spleens were harvested and treated with ACK lysing buffer. Pooled splenocytes from 4–6 mice were employed as effector cells. Triplicate samples of 104 51Cr-labeled RMA-B2m−/− cells per 96-well V-bottom plate well were incubated with splenocytes at the indicated E:T ratios for 4 hrs before determining the percent 51Cr release in the supernatant. % specific lysis = 100 x (experimental - spontaneous releaseAvg)/(maximum releaseAvg - spontaneous releaseAvg), where maximum release was release with addition of Triton X-100 (final concentration 2.5%).
Where shown, pooled splenocytes were NK-depleted by incubating on ice for 30 min with anti-NKp46-biotin (Biolegend) and anti-NK1.1-biotin (Biolegend) followed by 20 min incubation with streptavidin magnetic beads (Biolegend), and magnetic removal of bead-bound cells. Depletion (>95%) was confirmed by flow cytometry.

Under deep ether anesthesia, the liver was perfused with Hanks Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) via the portal vein. Immediately after perfusion, the liver was removed. Tumors were separated from the liver (with a margin of approximately 2 mm from the tumor edge) and minced with scissors. Liver specimens were incubated in 10 ml of HBSS containing 0.05% Type IV collagenase and 0.01 mg/ml DNase I (Sigma). The specimens were shaken for 40 min at 37 °C and then filtered through a stainless-steel mesh (70 µm), suspended in 33% Percoll solution and centrifuged for 15 min at 450 g at room temperature. After the red blood cells were lysed, the remaining cells were washed twice38 (link),39 (link).
For TAM magnetic sorting, single cells prepared as described above were incubated with Fc-blocker and then stained with biotin-conjugated anti-F4/80 Ab (ebioscience) and incubated with streptavidin magnetic beads (Biolegend). Positively labeled cells were collected using a magnet. For monocyte/macrophage magnetic sorting during the monocyte maturation process, biotin-conjugated anti-CD11b Ab (Biolegend) was used, followed by the above-described steps.

Sickled Cell Disease Morphology Analysis

SCD cells at day 21 of differentiation were stained with CD71-biotin antibody (Invitrogen, catalog 13-0711-82, clone R17217; 1:200). CD71 cells were isolated using streptavidin magnetic beads (BioLegend, catalog no. 480016). Cells were then resuspended in 100 μl of HEMOX buffer supplemented with 20 mM glucose and 0.32% bovine serum albumin (BSA). Cells were subsequently incubated under 2.5% O2 at 37 °C for 1 h. Cells were immediately fixed with 200 μl of 2% glutaraldehyde solution. Fixed-cell suspensions were spread on to glass microslides and subjected to microscopic morphological analysis of bright-field images of single-layer cells on an Olympus BX40 microscope fitted with an Infinity Lite B camera (Olympus). The cells with irregular shapes (sickled shape or protruding structures) were counted as sickled cells. Cell shapes were measured by software CellProfiler50 . Irregular shape was determined by the cell area compactness (cutoff 1.3). Over 1,300 cells were analyzed for each condition.

Isolation and Analysis of CD8+ T cells

For gene-expression analysis, tumor-infiltrating CD8 + T cells were isolated from enriched tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes by incubating lymphocytes in biotin anti-CD8a (BioLegend) followed by streptavidin magnetic beads (BioLegend). The purity of isolated CD8 + T cells exceeds 95 %. Total RNA from cells were extracted using the NucleoSpin® RNA kit (Macherey-Nagel) according to the manufacturer's protocol. Reverse-transcription of the RNA was performed using random primers iScript™ cDNA Synthesis Kit (Bio-Rad). Realtime PCR and data collection were performed with IQ SYBR Green supermix reagent (Bio-Rad) on a CFX connect instrument (Bio-Rad) and the following primers: β-actin forward, 5´-AGCCATGTACGTAGCCATCC-3´; β-actin reverse, 5´-TCTCAGCTGTGGTGGTGAAG-3´; IFN-γ forward, 5´-CAGCAACAGCAAGGCGAAAA-3´; IFN-γ reverse, 5´-TCATTGAATGCTTGGCGCTG-3´; TNF-α forward, 5´-ATGGCCTCCCTCTCATCAGT-3´; TNF-α reverse, 5´-TTTGCTACGACGTGGGCTAC-3´. Human Furin, PCAE4, PC5/6, PC7
and GAPDH primers will be provided upon request. Each sample was run in triplicate and normalized to the housekeeping gene GAPDH. Relative gene expression was calculated using the ∆CT method with the equation 2∆∆CT. The results are shown as fold changes compared to the Furin expression or control group.

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.
