Ultrapure water Milli-Q grade (MilliporeSigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) and spectroscopic grade solvents were used in all the synthesis procedures. pH buffer stock solutions in the pH range between 2 and 11 were prepared from a sodium phosphate 0.1 M solution, adjusting the pH by mixing properly a solution containing citric acid (0.05 M) and boric acid (0.2 M) in ultrapure water (all reagents from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), following [30 (link)]. The pH values were measured with a mini-pH meter NiCd-1 (Mettler-Toledo, Greifensee, Switzerland) and the pH of each solution was properly adjusted using a solution of HCl and NaOH (1 M) (all reagents from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). For magnetoliposomes preparation, the lipids dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) (from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC) (from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) (from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), cholesteryl hemisuccinate (CHEMS) (from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy(polyethylene glycol)-2000] (ammonium salt) (DSPE-PEG2000, from Avanti Polar Lipids, Birmingham, AL, USA) were used.

The sequence of CPVHLKRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL was chosen to prepare the SP-C peptide analog.15 (link) The synthesized peptide was obtained from Anygen Co., Ltd. (Jangseong, Korea). As PS is composed mostly of phospholipids, we used dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC, Sigma-Aldrich Corp., St. Louis, MO, USA), phosphatidylglycerol (PG, Sigma-Aldrich Corp., St. Louis, MO, USA), and palmitic acid (PA, Sigma-Aldrich Corp., St. Louis, MO, USA). We mixed DPPC, PG, PA, and SP-C 75:25:10:3 (w/w) and lyophilized the mixture to obtain sSP-C PS powder.18 (link) To obtain PNBS, intact lungs of healthy cows were extracted. Normal saline (37℃) was instilled via the airway and re-suctioned after several rounds of gentle massage. Twenty liters of normal saline was used for each pair of lungs (approximately 5 kg). The obtained fluid was centrifuged at 500 g for 10 min to remove tissue remnants and blood cells. Then, a 15000 g centrifuge was applied over 60 min at 4℃ to obtain a PS pellet. To purify this crude natural surfactant (CNS), 4-5 mL of CNS pellet was diluted in 0.9% saline to be 30 mL of emulsion, and 48 mL of 26% sodium bromide solution was added. This was centrifuged at 24000 rpm for 120 minutes. In the middle, a white thin layer was obtained and mixed with normal saline. The pellet after 10 minutes of 500 g centrifugation was obtained and used as PNBS.16 19 20 (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.
