786-O cells with the same number of passages (at least 20 passages) grown in normoxic and hypoxic conditions were used for assay. 4 × 104 cells were suspended in 300 μL serum-free RPMI 1640 and poured into 24-well hanging inserts (0.8 μm, EMD Millipore Corporation, Billerica, MA, USA) and 500 μL complete RPMI 1640 (Lonza) was added to the lower wells. After 22 h, the insert membranes were stained with 0.2% crystal violet in 20% methanol. The cells on the inner side were wiped off with cotton swabs and the migrated cells on the outside membrane were counted. The results were derived from at least three independent experiments.

Mouse spleens were physically disrupted in 10 ml complete RPMI-1640 (Lonza, Walkersville, MD), supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine, 10% fetal bovine serum (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA), 50 IU/ml penicillin and 50 µg/ml streptomycin (MP Biomedicals, Irvine, CA). The splenocyte suspension was passed through a 40 µm nylon cell strainer (Fisher Scientific, Fair Lawn, NJ) and cultured in a 100 × 15 mm petri dish (Fisher) in a 5% CO2, 37ºC humidified incubator (Forma Scientific, Marietta, OH). After 3 days, the non-adherent cells were removed. On day 6, the culture supernatant was discarded and the adherent cells (largely splenic macrophages) were washed three times with Dulbecco’s Ca2+/Mg2+-free phosphate-buffered saline (DPBS; HyClone, Logan, UT). After the last wash, 3 ml of Cellstripper non-enzymatic cell dissociation solution (Mediatech, Manassas, VA) was added and cells were incubated at 5% CO2, 37ºC for 10 min on an orbital shaker. Macrophages were lifted by gentle pipetting and added to 10 ml ice-cold complete RPMI-1640. Cells were centrifuged at 350 g for 10 min and resuspended in media at the desired density. All the described experiments were performed using splenic macrophages differentiated for 6 days except for patch clamp experiments (see below).
Peritoneal macrophages were isolated as previously described in detail [12 (link)].

PBMCs were isolated from blood collected in heparinized tubes by density gradient centrifugation using Histopaque ® 1.077 (Sigma, Madrid, Spain). PBMCs were washed and suspended in complete RPMI-1640 (Lonza, Barcelona, Spain) (cRPMI) plus 10% foetal bovine serum (FBS) (Sigma, Madrid, Spain); cell viability was assessed with Trypan blue staining. Then, PBMCs were seeded into 96-well plates (1 x 10 6 cells/well) and incubated with baculovirus-expressed PCV2 Cap protein (final concentration per well: 0.6 µg/mL); phytohemagglutinin (Sigma, Madrid, Spain) (final concentration per well: 10 µg/mL) as a positive control; or cRPMI plus 10% FBS as a negative control for 24 h at 37°C in a 5% humidified CO2 atmosphere. After incubation, plates were centrifuged and cell culture supernatants were collected and stored at -80ºC until further examination.

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.
