For supporting cell sorting, explants were washed in ice cold Ca2+, Mg2+-free -PBS and incubated at 37°C in EBSS solution containing papain (20U/ml), 1mM L-cysteine and 0.5mM EDTA (Worthington, Lakewood, NJ) for 8 minutes (P0 cultured explants) or 10 minutes (all other organs). The papain solution was removed and inactivated by gentle washes in ice cold PBS containing 2% FBS. The cells were dissociated by gently pipetting on ice and filtered with a cell strainer cap (BD Biosciences). The dissociated and filtered cells were sorted in a FACSAriaII cell sorter (BD Biosciences) at 4°C in PBS containing 2% FBS, using a 130μm nozzle. The cells were collected on the basis of their fluorescence gating in DMEM 5% FBS, spun down, lysed in RTL buffer (Qiagen) and stored at -80°C. For each RNAseq library, approximately 50,000 sorted cells were used from the freshly dissected cochleas, and 10,000 sorted cells were used from the cultured explants. The identity of sorted cells was confirmed using epifluorescence and qRT-PCR for hair cell and supporting cell markers. Duplicates samples were collected for each condition.

Viral quantification was conducted by qRT-PCR and by Focus Forming Assay (FFA) on serum, spleen, kidney, liver, sciatic nerve, and brain. Sera were collected after centrifugation (15,900 g for 15 min at 4 °C) of blood harvested by cardiac puncture into collection tubes (Sarstedt, #41.1500.005). Following mouse perfusion with PBS, tissues were harvested and stored either in tubes containing RNA Later (Invitrogen) for qRT-PCR or in pre-weighed tubes containing MEMα medium and steel beads (Qiagen, #69989) for FFA. Tissues were then homogenized in RTL buffer (Qiagen) + 1% beta mercaptoethanol for qRT-PCR and MEMα medium for FFA followed by clarification (centrifugation at 2,000 × g for 5 min).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sporozoites (1 × 106 per replicate) of E. tenella Wis strain were pre-incubated for 1 h at 41°C, 5% CO2 with a selection of anticoccidial compounds [amprolium (AMP), robenidine (ROB), and salinomycin (SAL)] or with cytochalasin D (CYT); all compounds were suspended to a final concentration of 5 μg/ml in PBS just before use, made from stock concentrations of 10 mg/ml in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). DMSO alone was also included as a control (0.05% final volume). After incubation, sporozoites were washed with PBS, resuspended in DMEM and added to MDBK monolayers (3 wells/time point/condition, technical replicates). After 2, 24, 44, and 52 hpi cells were recovered using 0.35 ml of RTL buffer (Qiagen) for further DNA extraction. This experiment was performed in duplicate for E. tenella Wis (two biological replicates).

Fifty thousand EpCAM+ embryonic intestinal cells, Lgr5-EGFPhigh ISCs or enterocytes were isolated by FACS directly in 300 μl of RTL buffer (Qiagen) supplemented with 1% β-mercaptoethanol and stored at −80°C. For each replicate, RNA was isolated from pools of 20 embryos (E12.5) or one adult gut using RNeasy micro-kit (Qiagen). 50 ng of total RNA was used for cDNA synthesis using Ovation v2.0 kit (NuGEN) according to manufacturer's instructions. After cDNA fragmentation (Covaris), libraries were prepared using NEBNext v2.0 kit (NEB) according to manufacturer's instructions. Three independent RNA extractions, cDNA synthesis, library preparations and sequencing experiments were performed.

Equine Tenocyte Microtissue Generation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In order to generate equine tenocyte microtissues, cells were adjusted to 2 × 105 cells/mL in normal growth medium and transferred to a reagent reservoir. A total of 25 μL cell suspension was then transferred to individual wells of a Terasaki plate (VWR International, Dietikon, Switzerland) using a multistep pipette. When all wells had been filled, lids were mounted and plates inverted in order to allow for gravity-enforced microtissue formation as previously described [27 (link),33 (link)]. After 6 days of culture, microtissue pellets were harvested and either fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and processed for paraffin embedding, or lysed in RTL Buffer (Qiagen) and processed for gene expression analysis as described above.

Epididymal fat pads were excised from male C57BL/6 mice fed HFD, weighed, and rinsed three times in PBS containing low endotoxin BSA and EDTA (1 mm). Tissue suspensions were subjected to centrifugation at 500g for 5 min and then collagenase treated (1 mg/mL) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) for 30 min at 37°C with shaking. Cell suspensions were passed through a 100-μm filter and centrifuged at 500g for 5 min. Adipocyte fractions were collected into QIAzol (Qiagen, Valencia, CA) for RNA extraction.

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.
