ELISA Validation of Protein Abundance

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The differential abundance of four selected proteins was validated by ELISA using FF samples of 20 patients each from the Po, Pn, and control groups. Concentrations of apolipoprotein A-II (APOA2) (Elabscience, Wuhan, China), complement C5 (C5) (CUSABIO, Wuhan, China), fetuin-B (FETUB) (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), and stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1/CXCL12) (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, USA) in the FF samples were measured using the commercial ELISA kits according to the manufacturer's instructions. The collected FF samples were diluted to 1:20, 1:100, and 1:500 for the APOA2, C5, and FETUB ELISA tests, respectively.

Details of the immunohistological staining protocols were published elsewhere.[14 (link)] Briefly, deparaffinized 4-μm thick sections were incubated with the primary SDF-1/CXCL12 (1:200; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) antibody for 2 hours at room temperature, followed by incubation for 1 hour with the appropriate secondary antibody. The sections were incubated with the AB enzyme reagent for 30 minutes. The peroxidase substrate was added for stain development. The sections were dehydrated, permanently mounted with mounting medium, and observed by light microscopy.

Quantifying SDF-1 Levels in Deficiency

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Isolated plasma samples were used for immunoenzymatic analysis of SDF-1 level in SDF-1-deficient patients and healthy control group. Materials were tested in accordance with instructions included in ELISA DuoSet kit for detection of SDF-1/CXCL12 (R&D Systems). Selected assay allowed for detection of SDF-1 within range of 31.2 – 200 pg/ml. Data were acquired with the use of LEDETECT96 microplate reader (Labexim, Lengau, Austria).

The chemokines were dissolved in water for injection. CXCL1/KC and CXCL5/LIX were obtained from Sigma Aldrich and CXCL9/MIG and CXCL12/SDF-1 were from R&D System. Reconstituted chemokines were injected in the following concentrations: 10 ng/5 μL, 100 ng/5 μL, and 500 ng/5 μL. The behavioral tests were performed after 1, 4, and 24 hours following chemokine administration.

Cell Invasion and Migration Assays with siRNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For invasion assays, MDA-MB-231 cells transfected with 0.25 μg of luciferase expression cassettes and cotransfected with CXCR4 siRNA or control siRNA for 48 h were reseeded onto the upper chambers of 24-well invasion inserts of 8 μm pore-sized membranes (BD Biosciences) in serum-free DMEM at a density of 3 × 105 cells per well and incubated for 24 h. Six hundred microliters of serum-free DMEM + 0.1% bovine serum albumin or serum-free medium + 10 nM CXCL12/SDF1 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) was used as the chemoattractant in the lower chambers. The membranes were removed from the inserts and incubated with luciferase lysis buffer (Promega, Madison, WI) for 15min, and then luciferase activity was measured according to the manufacturer’s protocol. For migration experiments, MDA-MB-231 cells were seeded at the same density as for invasion assays onto the upper chamber of 24-well migration plates and 600 μl of serum-free DMEM + 0.1% bovine serum albumin, or serum-free medium + CXCL12 was added to the lower chambers of migration plates and incubated for 24 h. Cell-Titer-Glo reagent (Promega) was then directly added to the lower chamber to measure luminescence associated with the migrating cells. For both invasion and migration assays, a ZENYTH 3100 reader (Anthos Labtec) was used to measure luciferase activity or luminescence, respectively.

2 × 105 MACS-enriched CD8 cells were incubated overnight with or without IL-12 and IL –18 (both at 50 ng/mL) at 37 °C. For the last 4 hr of incubation, Brefeldin A and monensin (Biolegend) were added to block the release of cytokines. Cells were harvested and permeabilized with Cytofix/perm (Becton Dickinson) and stained with intracellular antibodies to base panel as described above, and IFNỿ (B27, Biolegend), CCL4 (MIP-ẞ, FL3423L. BD or REA511, Miltentyi), Caspase-3 (C92-605, BD), CXCL12/SDF-1 (79018, R&Dsystems). MAIT cells were identified as CD161HIV-1α7.2+ cells.

Culture mouse germ cells were harvested and depleted of feeder cells by two rounds of preplating. 105 mouse germ cells in single cell suspension were then placed in the upper chamber of a transwell insert containing a polycarbonate membrane with 5 μm pores (Cell Biolabs Inc.). The transwell insert was placed into a well of a 12-well plate containing serum-free medium with or without recombinant CXCL12/SDF-1 (R&D systems; 10 ng/mL) and AMD3100 (Sigma Aldrich, 1.25 μM) [19 (link)]. Cultures were incubated for 24 hrs following which the media containing migrated germ cells were collected and cells stained with cell stain solution (Cell Biolabs Inc.). The absorbance of invading germ cells was quantified at OD at 562 nm. cell stain solution in blank wells containing only medium was used as the reference solution. The higher the number of invading germ cells in the bottom well is, the greater the absorbance quantified is.

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.
