Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MSCs were collected for immunophenotypic analysis at P5, 14, and 22. Phycoerythrin (PE)-labeled anti-CD29, CD44, CD73, CD90, CD105, CD34, CD45 and IgG isotype control (all from BD Biosciences, San Diego, CA, USA) were incubated with MSCs for 30 minutes at 4 ºC. After washing in PBS for three times, MSCs were analyzed by flow cytometry (BD Biosciences).
To determine the immunophenotypic profile of MSC-MVs, 1 μm of standard microbeads (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) were added to the MSC-MV samples. All samples were stained with Calcein-AM (Sigma), which was used to define the MSC-MVs with intact membrane structure. Subsequently, phycoerythrin (PE)-labeled anti-CD29, CD44, CD73, CD90, CD105, CD34, CD45 and IgG isotype control (BD Biosciences) were incubated with MSC-MV samples for 30 min at 4ºC. After washing in PBS for three times, MSC-MV samples were analyzed by FCM.
For cell cycle analysis, MSCs were trypsinized, centrifuged and washed for three times in PBS. Cells were then resuspended and fixed in 70% ethanol at 4ºC overnight. Fixed cells were washed at 500g for 5 min and stained with 10 μg/ml PI, 100 μg/ml DNase-free RNase A, 0.1% Triton X-100 and kept in the dark for 30 min. Cell suspensions were filtered and measured by FCM.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fluorophores conjugated antibodies were purchased from BD Bioscience (Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) and DAKO (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA). The anti-human P2X7 monoclonal antibodies were produced from the L4 clone in house [29 (link)] and conjugated with Alexa 647 or Alexa 488 using the antibody conjugation kit from Molecule Probes (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).
Cell surface staining was carried out following the BD standard protocol. Aliquots of 100 µL of fresh whole blood were added into fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS®) tubes with pre-mixed antibody cocktails. An autofluorescence tube containing only whole blood and an IgG isotype control (BD Australia, Macquarie Park, NSW, Australia) tube were prepared for each AIBL sample. Titration of each antibody was determined by saturation tests. Blood/antibody mixture was incubated for 15 min at room temperature with gentle shake, followed by incubating with 2 mL of BD FACS Lysing solution (Cat#555899) for another 15 min. 2 mL of PBS was added to each FACS® tubes, followed by centrifuging at 1400 rpm for 3 min. Supernatant was discarded and leukocytes were resuspended into 200 uL of PBS. Leukocytes were then analysed using FACSCaliburTM (BD Biosciences) and flow results were primarily analysed using FlowJo software (V10, FlowJo, LLC, Ashland, OR, USA).

800 nM of either LRRK2 siRNA (M-006323-02-0010; Dharmacon) or control scrambled siRNA (D-0001206-13-05) was electroporated into HEK-293T cells according to the Lonza Kit V protocol. After 48-h growth at 37°C, cells were harvested and lysed as above for co-IP. Antibody-conjugated Dynabeads (50 μl; 14311D), previously coupled to TRIM1 antibody (PA5-28457; Thermo Fisher Scientific) or IgG isotype control (550326; BD Pharmingen), were incubated with lysates for 16 h at 4°C. Samples were washed, eluted, and immunoblotted as above.

Anti-CD4 Depletion for Stroke Research

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with 5mg/kg of an anti-CD4 depletion antibody (clone GK 1.5, eBioscience, San Diego, CA) or IgG isotype control (BD Biosciences PharMingen). The dose was based on prior literature that found that i.p. injection of this antibody (0.2mg/kg/day on 2 consecutive days and 5mg/kg a week apart) leads to depletion of CD4 T lymphocytes in the peripheral blood in mice (Mochimaru et al., 2008 (link)). In order to ensure adequate depletion, we administered 5mg/kg on days 3 and 4 following stroke, at a time of high parenchymal T cell infiltration. CD4 T cell depletion was confirmed by flow cytometry using an anti-CD4 clone (RM4-5) (Supplementary figure 2).

Endothelial Cell Heterogeneity in Vasculitis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The heterogeneity of biologic properties in EC of different origins (e.g. EC derived from large/medium/small vessels or from different organs/tissues) has been well characterized [22 (link)]. Since HSP is small vessels vasculitis that occurs mostly in cutaneous capillaries and postcapillary venules [3 (link),4 (link)], we used primary human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC-d, Lonza, Walkersville, MD, USA) as the targets for subsequent experiments. Of note, all studies were performed on cells between passages 3 and 11. HMVEC-d were seeded on gelatin-coated 12-well plates at a density of 5×104 cells/well. When the cellular growth became confluent, plasma of patients with acute HSP, plasma of healthy controls, or complete culture medium (EGM-2MV, Clonetics) alone (100 μl) were added to each well to co-culture with HMVEC-d for further 48 hr. Cells were then harvested by trypsin, washed by PBS, and labeled by PE-conjugated mouse IgG anti-human C3aR, IgG anti-human CD88, or IgG isotype control (BD Biosciences) at 4°C for 30 min. Stained cells were assayed by a FACSCalibur using the CellQuest Software (BD Biosciences).

Leukocyte Surface Marker Staining

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell surface staining procedures were carried out using the BD standard protocol: aliquots of 100 μL fresh blood were added into fluorescence‐activated cell sorting (FACS) tubes with pre‐mixed antibody cocktails. Mouse anti‐human IgG monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) conjugated with fluorophores, which were excited at FITC, PE, PerCP, and APC channels, were used to stain leukocytes (Table S2). An autofluorescence tube containing only whole blood and an IgG isotype control (BD Australia) tube were prepared for each AIBL sample. Optimal concentration for antibodies was determined by titration tests. For intracellular staining, cells were fixed and permeabilized before mixing with antibody cocktail according to the BD standard protocol. Flow cytometry was performed by using FACSCalibur (BD Biosciences). All flow data were stored in digital form and were analyzed using FlowJo software (V10, FlowJo, LLC).

Primary porcine cATMSC were obtained from pigs (Large White × Landrace) undergoing cardiac surgery (n = 39) by cardiac adipose biopsy (1.63 ± 0.69 g), as previously described [7 (link)]. Tissue samples were washed from debris and red blood cells in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; Oxoid), and digested for 30 min with 0.05% collagenase (Type II; Gibco Invitrogen Corp.) at 37 °C under mild shaking. Digestion was quenched with α-MEM (Sigma Aldrich) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated foetal bovine serum (FBS), 2 mM l-glutamine, 1% penicillin-streptomycin (P/S) (all from Gibco Invitrogen Corp.) and 5 μg/ml Plasmocin™ (Invivogen) (α-MEM-FBS). Cells were then centrifuged at 1200×g for 10 min and cultured by adherence in α-MEM-FBS at 37 °C 5% CO2. The purity of established cell cultures was analysed at passages 4–8 by immunostaining with monoclonal antibodies against CD105 (Abcam), CD44, CD45, CD14 (AbD Serotec), CD29, CD34, CD90 and CD106 or IgG isotype control (BD Pharmingen) using a FACSCanto II flow cytometer (BDBiosciencies) and the FACSDiva™ software (BD Biosciencies).

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.
