Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For bulk RNA sequencing of PBMC samples from the independent Singapore cohort (see above), we performed reverse transcription and amplification using a standard protocol83 (link). Briefly, we synthesized cDNA from 2 ng of purified total RNA using modified oligo(dT) primers, and cDNAs were further amplified. The quantity and integrity of cDNA were assessed using the DNA High Sensitivity Reagent Kit (Perkin Elmer: LabChip GX). Subsequently, pooled cDNA libraries were prepared (250 pg of cDNA per sample, Illumina Nextera XT kit, Cat no. FC-131-1096) with dual indices for de-multiplexing. The libraries were quantified using qPCR (Kapa Biosystems) to ascertain the loading concentration. Samples were subjected to an indexed PE sequencing run of 2 × 151 cycles on an Illumina HiSeq 4000. We mapped paired-end reads to human genome build GRCh38 using the STAR aligner84 and counted reads mapped to genes using featureCounts85 and GENCODE v31 gene annotations86 (link). We quantified gene expression as log2-transformed reads per exonic kilobasepair per million mapped reads (log2RPKM) using the edgeR Bioconductor package87 . Gene expression estimates for SOCS3 were then analyzed for association with disease severity (D.K. et al.49 , unpublished observations).

Lin(CD3/14/16/19/20)HLA-DR+CD33+CD123+cells at 300 cells/μl were loaded onto two 5-10 μm C1 Single-Cell Auto Prep integrated fluidic circuits (Fluidigm) and cell capture was performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Individual capture sites were inspected under a light microscope to confirm the presence of single, live cells. Empty capture wells and wells containing multiple cells or cell debris were discarded for quality control. A SMARTer Ultra Low RNA kit (Clontech) and Advantage 2 PCR Kit (Clontech) was used for cDNA generation. An ArrayControl RNA Spots and Spikes kit (with spike numbers 1, 4 and 7) (Ambion) was used to monitor technical variability, and the dilutions used were as recommended by the manufacturer.

KAPA Hyper Prep Library Production Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
One μg of 3' RACE amplicons were diluted to 20 ng/µl in elution buffer and used as input in a modified KAPA Hyper Prep library production protocol (Kapa Biosystems, MA, USA) to generate libraries for Illumina sequencing. Since amplicon sizes ranged from about 100 -800 bp, the fragmentation step in the protocol was skipped. End repair and addition of a single adenine (A) extension was completed as instructed, followed by ligation to indexed adapters overnight at 4°C. A 0.8X AxyPrep (Thermo Scientific, MA, USA) post-ligation bead cleanup was carried out with final elution in 20 μl of TE buffer. Ligated products were enriched with PCR under the following conditions: initial denaturation at 98°C for 45 s; 4 cycles of 98°C for 15 s, 60°C for 30 s, and 72°C for 30 s; and a final extension at 72°C for 1 min. PCR products were subsequently cleaned with AxyPrep beads at 1X concentration and eluted in 30 μl of TE buffer.
Final library products were assessed for quality on LabChip GX using the DNA High Sensitivity Reagent Kit (Perkin Elmer, MA, USA), diluted to 2 nM concentration and pooled. This was followed by denaturation with sodium hydroxide and further dilution to 6 pM in hybridization buffer for loading into a MiSeq system. Sequencing was set up in accordance with Illumina's recommended protocol for an indexed 100-cycle paired-end run.

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.
