Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were injected subcutaneously with 20 µg recombinant human PEGylated G-CSF and after 4 days blood was collected in lithium-heparin tubes under terminal anesthesia. Murine neutrophils were isolated from blood by performing erythrocyte lysis (Biolegend) twice for 4 min at 4 °C, followed by magnetic separation using anti-Ly-6G Microbeads (Miltenyi) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Neutrophils were added in an effector-target (E:T) ratio of 40:1 and for Whole Blood (WB) assays 25 µL of whole blood was added per condition.
Target cells were labeled with radioactive chromium-51 (Na251CrO4, PerkinElmer) for 2 h and washed three times. Antibodies against EGFR (A431), GD2 (IMR32) or HER-2 (SKBR3) were added in concentrations as indicated per experiment. The killing assays were incubated for 4 h at 37 °C in a humidified incubator containing 5% CO2. Plates were centrifuged and supernatant was transferred to lumaplates (PerkinElmer) to assess radioactivity induced scintillation (in counts per minute, cpm) on a beta-gamma counter (PerkinElmer). Specific lysis was calculated using the formula: ((Experimental cpm—basal cpm)/(maximal cpm—basal cpm))*100, with maximal lysis determined by incubating target cells with 1.25% triton and minimal lysis determined by chromium release of target cells in the absence of antibodies and effector cells.

Neutrophils were isolated from liver tissue by using anti-Ly6G microbeads (cat number: 130-092-332; Miltenyi Biotec, Auburn, CA). Two times 105 neutrophils were placed in the upper chamber of the Transwell inserts with a pore size of 5 μm (Falcon inserts; Corning Incorporated, Corning, NY), which were loaded in wells containing medium plus 1% or 5% serum from control or α-Galcer–treated mice. In ablation experiments, anti-CXCL1 (cat number: MAB453; 500 ng/mL; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) or CXCR2 antagonist SB225002 (cat number: HY-16711; 2 μmol/mL; MedChem Express, Monmouth Junction, NJ) and their corresponding control were added into the medium. Two hours later, inserts were removed and stained with crystal violet. Migrated neutrophils were counted by Image-Pro Plus; Media Cybernetics, Rockville, MD).

Two days after aCD40 treatment, livers were excised and digested with 450 U/ml collagenase I, 125 U/ ml collagenase XI, 60 U/ml DNase I, 60 U/ml hyaluronidase (Sigma Aldrich), and 20 mM HEPES buffer in PBS at 37°C for 20 minutes shaking at 900 rpm, as described previously59 (link). Digested tissue was then processed through a 40 μm cell strainer, centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 5 minutes, subjected to ACK red blood cell lysis, and resuspended in PBS with 0.5% BSA. Magnetic selection with anti-Ly-6G microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec) was used to isolate neutrophils from the resulting cell suspension. Isolated neutrophils were co-cultured with MC38-H2B-GFP tumor cells (40:1 neutrophil:cancer cell ratio). GFP+ tumor cells were quantified 24 hours later via microscopy (DeltaView). Co-culture of cancer cells with splenocytes from untreated mice was used as a negative control condition. For DC/neutrophil co-cultures, bone marrow cells were isolated from IL-12p40 reporter (IL12p40-eYFP) mice and cultured with 300 ng/mL Flt3L (Peprotech) for 8–10 days to generate DCs. Neutrophils were co-cultured with DCs (10:1 neutrophil:DC ratio) for 24 hours, before quantifying YFP+ cells via microscopy (DeltaVision). Treatment with TLR7/8 agonist R848 was used as a positive control condition.

Circulating neutrophils were isolated from blood harvested by cardiac puncture from mice using anti–Ly-6G MicroBeads (Miltenyi Biotec B.V. & Co. KG, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Bone marrow (BM)–derived leukocytes were harvested from the femurs and tibias of LDLR−/− mice by flushing with 1.5 mmol/L ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid in Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution. After centrifugation, 1 · 106 cells were seeded on a poly-l-lysine–coated 22-mm coverslip (32 (link)). These cells were incubated in Roswell Park Memorial Institute Media 1640 with 20% each of murine plasma from wt mice fed NC or HFD, LDLR−/− mice fed NC or HFD for 28 days or recombinant mouse CXCL1 (BioLegend, Inc., San Diego, California) for 2 h. Cells were fixed by 4% paraformaldehyde in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS[–]) and stained by anti–citrullinated H3 (Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom), PE-antimouse Ly-6G (BioLegend, Inc.) and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, followed by observation with a fluorescence microscope. The obtained images were analyzed with Meta Morph. The ratio of citrullinated histone H3–positive, Ly-6G–positive neutrophils in total Ly-6G–positive neutrophils was calculated.

Macrophages and fibroblasts were isolated from post-MI hearts by immunomagnetic separation. Hearts were enzymatically digested at 37°C for 1 hr (600U/mL collagenase, Worthington; 60U/mL DNase I, Sigma Aldrich; diluted in HBSS). Digested tissue was filtered through 30μm columns to generate single cell suspensions, then incubated with anti-Ly6G microbeads and filtered through magnetic columns to remove neutrophils (Miltenyi). Flow through was then incubated with anti-CD11b microbeads to purify macrophages, which were immediately plated in RPMI media with 0.1% fetal bovine serum (FBS) for 2 hr. For Seahorse® assays, 5 × 105 cells were plated in Seahorse® 24-well cell culture plates, while 1.0–1.5 × 106 cells were plated for RNA extraction and collected in 1mL Trizol. For fibroblast isolation, single cell suspensions were plated on T25 flasks for 2 hr in DMEM media with 10% FBS. Non-adherent cells were then removed and replaced with fresh DMEM + 10% FBS. Cells were allowed to grow and collected at 80–90% confluence in Trizol for RNA extraction (passage 0) or passaged with 0.25% trypsin and plated in Seahorse® 24-well cell culture plates (2 × 105) overnight in DMEM + 1% FBS for Seahorse assay. For in vitro treatment, fibroblasts were exposed to 10, 25, or 50 μM DMF for 24 hr or equivalent volume of vehicle control (DMSO).

Neutrophils were isolated from the peritoneum 24 h after thioglycollate i.p. injection and using anti-Ly-6G microbeads from Miltenyi Biotec Inc. (San Diego, CA). Alveolar macrophages (AM) were obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage. One hundred thousand neutrophils or AM were seeded in a flat-bottom 96-well plate and infected with K. pneumoniae (MOI 1:10). After 30 min, media was washed and cells were lysed with 1% Triton-X at different time points: 0, 15, 30, 60 and 90 min (only 0 and 30 min for AM). Results were calculated as fold change in bacterial counts compared to time 0 for each mouse sample.

Neutrophils were isolated from lung tissues of naïve or tumor-bearing mice using anti-Ly6G microbeads (Miltenyi Biotech). Viability and purity of isolated cells were assessed with flow cytometry to be above 90%.
For the primary culture of lung fibroblasts, sorted CD45CD31CD326CD140a+ fibroblasts were cultured in the MesenCult Basal Medium (STEMCELL Technologies). The first to third passages of the primary fibroblasts were used for the ex vivo experiments.
To prepare fibroblast-derived conditioned medium (CM), ex vivo cultured lung fibroblasts or freshly sorted lung CD140a+ fibroblasts were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium at a density of 5×105 cells/ml for 16 hours. Then the supernatant was collected after centrifuging at 1, 000g for 20 min to remove cells and debris. The freshly collected supernatant was used as CM for further experiments.

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.
