PD‐L1 ssDNA oligo (listed 5′–3′) used in this study was CTG ACA TGT CAG GCT GAG GGC TAC CCC AAG. The designed oligo was custom synthesized and purified by IDT. To fabricate artificial EVs, an aqueous solution of the PD‐L1 ssDNA oligo was mixed with a lipid formulation of 1,2‐dioleoyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphoethanolamine (DOPE, Avanti Polar Lipids), linoleic acid (LA, Sigma‐Aldrich), and 1,2‐dimyristoyl‐rac‐glycero‐3‐methoxypolyethylene glycol‐2000 (DMG‐PEG 2000, Avanti Polar Lipids) (50:48:2 mole ratio in 200 proof ethanol). The mixture was subsequently sonicated for 5 min, injected into PBS, and then sonicated for another 5 min. After dialysis with a 20 kDa MWCO to remove free molecules, the suspension was spiked into healthy donor EVs at different concentrations of 0.625, 1.25, 2.5, 5, and 10%.
For the calibration experiment, the gold‐coated biochip was tethered with biotinylated PD‐L1 CLN‐MBs, which was made by replacing Bis‐DSPE PEG2000 with DSPE‐PEG(2000) Biotin (Avanti Polar Lipids) in the lipid formulation of CLN‐MB fabrication. The artificial EVs at different concentrations were then captured on the biochip by fusion with the PD‐L1 CLN‐MBs for 2 h at 37°C. After rinsing with PBS, the samples were imaged using the TIRF microscope.

Liposome Preparation via Extrusion

1,2-Distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSPC), 1,2-dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine
(DPPC), and 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine
(DOPC), and cholesterol and 1,2-dimyristoyl-rac- glycero-3-methoxypolyethylene
glycol-2000 (DMG-PEG2000) were obtained commercially (Avanti Polar
Lipids). Liposomes were prepared through the established extrusion
method.104 (link) Briefly, lipids were desiccated
for 2 h and allowed to reach RT. The lipids, cholesterol, and DMG-PEG2000
were weighed at the indicated ratios (Tables S4 and S5) and dissolved in chloroform, evaporated using a nitrogen
stream, and left under vacuum overnight to form a lipid film. The
film was rehydrated with PBS (pH 7.4) at 65 °C for 2 h with vortexing
and the vesicles were further processed with five freeze (liquid nitrogen)
and thaw (65 °C water bath) cycles. The nanoparticles were extruded
through stacked polycarbonate filters (400, 200, or 100 nm) at least
10 times using a mini-extruder (Avanti Polar lipids, cat# 610000).
The size of liposomes was measured using dynamic light scattering
(Malvern Zetasizer).

Basophil Activation Test for Vaccine Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole blood preserved in heparin, as described in Mukai et al,6 (link) was collected from participants. Briefly, basophil activation was assessed after stimulation for 30 minutes at 37 °C with either DMG-PEG 2000 (Avanti Polar Lipids; 1 μg/μL) or P80 (Millipore Sigma–Sigma Aldrich; 1 μg/μL). Filtered saline was used as a negative control and anti-IgE (Bethyl Laboratories; 1 μg/mL) was used as a positive control.
Vaccine-discarded remnant material was used at 0.007 μg/μL. All stimuli were prepared in Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) medium. Basophils were gated as CD123+HLA−DR− cells, and the percentage of CD63+ basophils was quantified by flow cytometry. Control participants were also consented using the same IRB-approved protocol, and SPT and BAT assays were performed (Table 1). Figure 2 illustrates an example of BAT results among control participants using anti-IgE (positive control), saline, and vaccine material as an activator.

Single-lancet technique was performed with DMG-PEG 2000 (Avanti Polar Lipids, 1 μg/μL) or P80 (Millipore Sigma; Sigma Aldrich, 1 μg/μL). Histamine (1 mg/mL) and filtered saline (negative control) were used for internal validation. Antihistamine medication was withheld for at least 72 hours prior to the test. Wheal and erythema were measured at 15 minutes. The wheal and erythema measurements were recorded by taking the mean of the 2 perpendicular diameters in millimeters. A wheal size of 4 mm or greater was considered positive. Saline controls were used, and all were negative. Discarded, undiluted remnant vaccine was used according to the manufacturer’s concentration instructions.

The LNP‐siRNA was formulated using previous protocols as described (Jayaraman et al, 2012 ). Briefly, LNPs were formed by mixing lipids (Selleckchem, S6683), 1, 2‐distearoyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphocholine (DSPC) (Avanti Polar Lipids, 850365p‐200mg), cholesterol (Sigma, C3045), and DMG‐PEG2000 (Avanti Polar Lipids, 880151p‐1g) at a molar ratio of 50:10:38.5:1.5 in ethanol. siRNA solutions were diluted in 50 mM sodium citrate (pH = 4) such that the final weight ratio of lipid: siRNA was achieved from 16:1 to 4:1, accordingly, the mixture was incubated for 15 min at 37°C to encapsulate the siRNAs. LNP‐siRNAs were diluted in PBS and analyzed further. siRNAs used in this study are listed below:

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.
