Cytokine Expression in PBMC Cultures

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PBMC (1 x 106 cells/ml) cultures were carried out in RPMI-1640 (Sigma-Aldrich-Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) supplemented with: 10% FBS, 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 µg/ml gentamycin and 0.3 mg/ml L-glutamine. The cells were stimulated with: 30 µg /ml C3 binding glycoprotein (C3bgp) isolated as described previously [14 (link)] or 1 µg/ml Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Escherichia coli serotype 026: B6 (Sigma-Aldrich-Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). The concentrations of the stimuli used were determined, according to Stanilova et al., [15 ] and Takahashi et al., [16 (link)]. As shown by our previous study of inducible cytokine gene expression transcripts, the maximum mRNA quantities were reached after 6 h of stimulation and were independent of stimuli used [5 (link)]. Therefore, PBMC cultures were incubated at 37°C for 6 h. After incubation, the cultures were centrifuged at 1800 rpm for 10 min. The cell pellet was separated, and the RNA was isolated.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Experiments were performed on male Wistar rats housed in controlled conditions. The extracts were administered intragastrically (p.o.) at a dose of 200 mg/kg b.w. (groups FEW, PEF, NPF); morphine (5 mg/kg b.w., s.c.) and diclofenac (50 mg/kg b.w., i.p.) were used as standard analgesic drugs, control animals were treated with vehiculum (water) (p.o.). In order to measure locomotor activity (n = 53) and to perform the hot plate test (n = 40) 6 groups of rats were used (FEW, PEF, NPF, morphine, diclofenac 50, vehiculum (water) (p.o.). Anti-inflammatory activity was measured in a model of carrageenan-induced raw paw edema using 5 groups of rats (FWE, PEF, NPF, diclofenac, vehiculum (water)). Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Escherichia coli serotype 026:B6, (Sigma Chemicals Co.) was dissolved in an aqua pro injectione and administered in a single dose of 100 µg/kg intraperitoneally (i.p.) according to Manikowska et al. [19 (link)].

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.
