The mAb or the buffer was pre-incubated with rhSCF or P0 at 37°C for 0.5 h before they were added to the assay wells. All groups were cultured for 6 days in an incubator with humidified air containing 5% CO2. Culture medium was replenished on the third day post planting. Total cell number was monitored using hemocytometer, whereas CD34+ cell number was calculated based on the total cell number and the proportion of CD34+ cells determined via flow cytometry (BD, USA) on day 6 of culture, using the anti-human CD34 monoclonal antibody conjugated with PE fluorescein (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DNMT3A deletion was conducted on human CD34+ cells according to the method of Gundry et al (Gundry et al., 2017) by using two separate single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) targeted to exon thirteen of human DNMT3A. Guide sequences were: AGGUGGCCAGCAGCCGCGCG - modified and UGACACUGCCAAGGCCGUGG - modified. Mixed guide RNAs were used at 0.5 ug/ul final concentration for each guide, mixed with 1 ug Cas9 protein (PNA Bio) and transduced into CD34+ cells by electroporation. Gene deletion was confirmed by PCR and realtime using the following primers; forward, GATGGAATCGCTACAGGGCT and reverse: CCCCCAATCACCAGATCGAAT.
Human CD34+ cells were isolated from buffy coat samples by enrichment using anti-CD34 magnetic microbeads (Macs, Miltenyi). CD34+ blood cells were expanded in StemSpan SFEM (Stem Cell Technologies) supplemented with 100ng/ml rhFLT-3L, 100ng/ml rhSCF, 100ng/ml rhTPO and 20ng/ml IL-3 (Preprotech). Differentiation of human cells was measured by incubation of CD34+ cells in the above media with IFNy (1000 U/mL) for 3 days. Cells were characterized by flow cytometry using anti CD45, CD34, CD38 and CD66b antibodies (eBioscience, Biolegend, and BD Pharmingen) (Yang et al., 2005). Each experimental replicate was conducted with cells from a different biological sample, representing a different individual.

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.
