iRTN-1c MCA205 cells were treated (or not) by 1 µM MTX, 150 µM CDDP, 0.3 µM TET, or CDDP+TET, for 24 h, prior to cell harvest and subsequent wash with ice cold PBS. After 30 min incubation with an anti-CRT antibody (Abcam) in cold blocking buffer (5% FBS, v/v in PBS) on ice, cells were further washed and incubated with AlexaFluor®488-conjugated secondary antibody (Life Technologies) in blocking buffer (for 30 min). Cells were finally washed and maintained in cold PBS with 1 μg/mL PI and samples were analyzed by means of a FACS Calibur cytofluorometer (BD Biosciences). Isotype-matched IgG antibodies (Cell Signaling Technology) were used a negative staining control, and the analysis was performed exclusively on non-permeabilized (PI-) cells. Data were statistically evaluated by means of the Cell Quest Software package (BD Biosciences).

Detecting Immunogenic Cell Death by CRT

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The presence of CRT in the plasma membrane characterizes substances that induce the immunogenic type of cell death (Kepp et al. 2011 (link)). CRT externalization could work as a signal for immunological cells (Zitvogel et al. 2010 (link)). The presence of CRT in the plasma membrane has been determined by an antiCRT antibody conjugated with the fluorochrome phycoerythrin (Abcam, Great Britain). 1 × 106 cells were incubated with antibody diluted 1:100 for 30 min at 4 °C and analyzed in flow cytometer.

After PTT treatment, S180 cells were washed twice with 1× PBS and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 5 min. Cells were centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 3 min and washed again with PBS.
To measure intracellular HMGB1, S180 cells were incubated for 15 min with permeabilization buffer and washed with PBS (containing 0.1% BSA and 0.1% Triton-X). Then, cells were incubated in the dark at room temperature for 1 h with anti-HMGB1 primary antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) at 1:103. S180 cells were then washed and stained with anti-mouse IgG-FITC (Sigma-Aldrich) for 30 min. Finally, cells were washed twice with PBS, centrifuged for 5 min at 1500 rpm, resuspended in PBS, and analyzed by flow cytometry (FACSCanto II, BD Biosciences).
To measure CRT externalization, S180 cells containing RBCm-IR-Mn were incubated for 1 h with anti-CRT antibody (Abcam Cambridge, MA) at 1:500 in 0.1% BSA/PBS. Next, cells were washed and stained with a secondary antibody (anti-rabbit IgG-FITC, Sigma-Aldrich) for 30 min. Samples were washed, centrifuged, resuspended in PBS, and analyzed by flow cytometry (FACSCanto II, BD Biosciences).

Cells were trypsinized and washed twice with FACS buffer, and then incubated with anti-CRT antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) at 1:200 dilution in 100 μL FACS buffer at 4 °C for 1 h. Then, cells were washed and stained with FITC-conjugated secondary antibody (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) for 30 min, followed by staining with propidium iodide (PI, Invitrogen) and acquisition by flow cytometry, and the fluorescent intensity of stained live cells was gated on propidium iodide (PI)-negative cells.

Calreticulin Expression in Preeclampsia

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Paraffin-embedded blocks of placental tissue samples (patients with preeclampsia: n = 18; gestational age-matched controls: n = 22) were cut into 3-μm-thick sections, deparaffinized, and rehydrated. We then blocked endogenous peroxidase activity with 0.3% hydrogen peroxide in methanol. For antigen retrieval, we boiled the slides in 1 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (pH 8.0) in a pressure cooker for 10 min. We incubated the sections with an anti-CRT antibody (Abcam) at a dilution of 1:5000. We detected signals by using the simple stain MAX-PO reagent (Nichirei Biosciences, Tokyo, Japan) and 3,3-diaminobenzidine as the substrate. We used Mayer’s hematoxylin solution for counterstaining and scored the staining intensity as 0 = none, 1 = weak, 2 = moderate, and 3 = strong staining. We graded the percentage of positive cells as 0: no positive cells, 1: <30%, 2: 30–80%, or 3: >80% and then used the following equation to calculate the immunoreactive score (IRS): IRS = staining intensity × percentage of positive cells, according to previous reports [16 (link),27 (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.
