Neutrophils were isolated from peripheral blood using an EasySep direct human neutrophil isolation kit (Stemcell, Vancouver, BC). Cells were then counted and cultured at 107 cells/mL in RPMI supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. Neutrophil cultures were treated with GM-CSF (1–25 ng/mL, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN), FSTL1 (100–1000 ng/mL, R&D Systems), Interferon-γ (IFNγ) (10 ng/mL, R&D Systems), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (1 μg/mL, Enzo Life Sciences, Farmingdale, NY), Interleukin 4 (IL-4) (20 ng/mL, R&D Systems), Interleukin 13 (IL-13) (20 ng/mL, R&D Systems), Interleukin 25 (IL-25) (10–100ng/mL, R&D Systems), Interleukin 33 (IL-33) (10–100 ng/mL, R&D Systems), thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) (10–100 ng/mL, R&D Systems) or Leukotriene C4 (LTC4) (10−6 –10−7 Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI) for 20 hours, cell culture supernatants were collected for protein analysis and cell lysates were collected to isolate RNA. Plates were coated with E-selectin, ICAM (50ng/well, Peprotech, Rocky Hill, NJ) or bovine serum albumin (BSA) (50ng/well, Sigma Aldrich) in pH 8 tris buffered saline (TBS) overnight at 4 degrees. Neutrophils were seeded into the wells and the culture supernatants were harvested at 20 hours.

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.
