Immune cells from debulking surgeries or skin xenografts were isolated, as described previously.42 (link) After harvesting, skin tissues were recovered overnight in RPMI media (Lonza) supplemented with 20% FBS (GeminiBio), 100 mM L-glutamine and ×1 penicillin/streptomycin at 4°C. After that, the tissues were minced into small pieces in 10% FCS-supplemented RPMI, followed by incubation in Collagenase type I (Thermo Fisher, 0.2%) and DNase I (Thermo Fisher, 30 Kunitz Units/mL) at 37°C for 2 h with shaking (350 rpm). Cells were passed through 70 μm cell-strainer, washed and recovered in RPMI media (Lonza) supplemented with 20% FBS, 100 mM L-glutamine and penicillin/streptomycin for 4h or overnight at 37°C. We quantified the total skin cell numbers using fluorescent AccuCheck Counting Beads (Invitrogen) by flow cytometry. Each skin sample had its area calculated and all data were normalized by skin area (in cm2).

MDM were challenged with opsonized S. pneumoniae for 3 h then washed three times in PBS, incubated for 30 min in RPMI media (Lonza) with 40 units/mL of benzylpenicillin (Sigma) and 20 mg/mL gentamicin (Sanofi). The cells were then washed three times in PBS and incubated in 250 μL of 2% saponin (Sigma) for 12 min at 37°C in 5% CO2, then 750 μL of PBS was added, followed by vigorous pipetting. The number of internalised viable bacteria were measured by counting the number of colony forming units on Colombia blood agar (CBA) after 24 h incubation at 37°C in 5% CO2 contained in these lysates measured in triplicate.

Cytotoxicity Assessment of Compounds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cytotoxicity (IC50) of compounds 15 was determined against seven human cancer cell lines by using an MTT assay according to an established procedure [39 (link)]. The cell lines were cultured in DMEM (Gibco, ThermoFisher Scientific, Hilden, Germany) and RPMI media (Lonza, Cologne, Germany) for MCF-7. All cell lines were supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco) and incubated under 10% CO2 at 37 °C. Epothilone B was used as a positive control and methanol as a negative control.

Single-cell suspensions were prepared from corneas as previously described.11 (link) In brief, corneas were digested in RPMI media (Lonza, Walkersville, MD, USA) containing 2 mg/mL collagenase type IV (Sigma-Aldrich Corp., St. Louis, MO, USA) and 2 mg/mL DNase I (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) for 45 minutes at 37°C and then filtered through a 70-μm cell strainer.

Stable Expression of ROR1, ROR2, and PTK7 in BaF3 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BaF3 cells (DSMZ, #ACC 300) were grown in RPMI media (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland) supplemented with 10% FBS, 50 U/ml penicillin, 50 µg/ml streptomycin, and 10% WEHI conditioned supernatant. For stable expression of human ROR1, ROR2, and PTK7 (or their truncated variants) in BaF3, proteins were cloned into the pEF-IRES-P vector [14 (link)] and transfected using Nucleofection as previously described [3 (link)].
293T cells were cultured in DMEM media (Gibco™, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) supplemented with 10% FBS, 50 U/ml penicillin, 50 µg/ml streptomycin. Transient transfection of 293T cells was done using TurboFect (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Isolation and Cryopreservation of PBMCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from healthy volunteer donors at the National Institutes of Health (NIH3) blood bank were collected under research protocols approved by the NIH Institutional Review Board (99-CC-0168) using apheresis. Also apheresis samples were obtained from patients treated with moxetumomab pasudotox or SS1P after informed consent in clinical trials (protocols 08-C-0026 and 06-CC-0150). A total of 36 PBMC samples were selected based on previously determined responses to PE38 peptides (25 (link)). Samples were qualified for the study if itdemonstrated a response to one of the peptides described in Table I with all the following criteria: ≥85 spot forming cells (SFC)/106 cells, ≥3-fold the response in the no peptide control, and ≥3% of all SFC.
PBMCs were isolated and cryopreserved as previously described (27 (link)). Briefly, buffy coat was collected after Ficoll-Hypaque (GE Healthcare) density-gradient separation. Cells were washed three times with Dulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline (PBS) without Ca and Mg and cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen at a concentration of 1–3×107 cells/ml in RPMI media (Lonza) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated human AB serum (Gemini) and 7.5% DMSO (Cellgro).

PBMC Isolation and HLA Typing

Peripheral mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were collected from apheresis samples of 40 naïve donors, four patients that were treated with immunotoxin containing PE38 and five ATL patients under protocols approved by the National Institutes of Health Institutional Review Board (99-CC-0168) and (08-C-0026), respectively with informed consent. Samples were isolated using the gradient-density separation by Ficoll-Hypaque (GE Healthcare) and frozen in liquid nitrogen using 10% human AB serum (Gemini) RPMI media (Lonza) and 7.5% DMSO (Sigma Life Science). Class II HLA typing was performed using PCR sequence-specific primers/sequence-specific oligonucleotides–based tissue typing by the HLA typing unit in the Warren G. Magnuson Clinical Center, NIH or by the Texas BioGene Molecular Typing Laboratory.

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.
