L. donovani MHOM/SD/00/1S (24 (link)) promastigotes were grown in medium M-199, Earle’s salts (Biological Industries Ltd.) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Gibco Ltd.) and a 1% penicillin-streptomycin solution (Biological Industries Ltd.). Axenic differentiation of L. donovani promastigotes to amastigotes was carried out as described previously (7 (link)). Briefly, mid-log-phase promastigotes were washed twice in Earle’s salt solution and finally suspended in amastigote medium containing M-199 at pH 5.5 supplemented with 0.5 mM sodium succinate, 25% bovine serum, and 1% penicillin-streptomycin solution. Mature amastigotes developed at 5 days after exposure of promastigotes to the differentiation medium.
Arginine deprivation was carried out as described previously by Pawar et al. (12 (link)). Briefly, mid-log-phase promastigotes (1 × 107 cells/ml) were washed with Earle’s balanced salt solution twice and resuspended in arginine-deficient medium M-199 (Biological Industries Ltd.) at 26°C for the specified period before being transferred to ice. Arginine-deprived cells were washed twice with ice-cold Earle’s balanced salt solution before being used for transport assays and Northern and Western blot analyses.

Archived nasopharyngeal samples (including Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) (N = 8), tracheal aspirations (N = 32) or nasopharyngeal swabs (N = 403)) of patients hospitalized at Chaim Sheba Medical Center, collected into Virocult liquid viral transport medium (LVTM) (Medical Wire & Equipment Co, Wiltshire, United Kingdom) and stored at -70°C, were used to evaluate the performance of the three extraction systems. Representative samples covering the range of cycle threshold values (Ct) below 35, which were previously extracted by easyMAG and tested for the common human respiratory viruses, were selected.
The archived samples were thawed and the volume of the sample was adjusted with M199 (transport medium Biological Industries (BI), Beit Haemek, Israel), compatible with all three systems. The archived samples (N = 262) included positive samples for influenza A (N = 47), H1N1pdm (N = 22), influenza B (N = 21), RSV (N = 21), hMPV (N = 23), parainfluenza-3 (N = 20) and adenovirus (N = 23), as well as negative control samples (N = 181).
The technical and physical properties of the three platforms, including platform size, nucleic acid collection options (tubes/plate/cartridge), sample loading method (directly/indirectly from the sample tube), the existence of a barcode reader and user operation convenience, are summarized in Table 1.

Cardiac Differentiation of iPSCs

Cells were differentiated as previously described [4 , 24 ]. Briefly; Growth media (NutriStem™) was refreshed daily until iPSCs reached 100% confluence. The undifferentiated cells were mixed homogenously with 1.5% (w/v) omentum hydrogel solution that was heated to 37ºC to crosslink the 3D hydrogel. Culture medium was refreshed daily (NutriStem™) until iPSCs reached 100% confluence (1-3 days). At this point (day 0) medium was changed to RPMI (Biological Industries) supplemented with 0.5% glutamine (Biological Industries), B27 minus Insulin (X50, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, California) and 10 μM CHIR-99021 (Tocris, Bristol, UK). Medium was refreshed every other day. At day 2, CHIR-99021 was removed from media. At day 4, 5μM IWP-2 (Tocris) was added to the media and was removed on day 6. At day 8, contracting implants were observed and medium was changed to a medium supplemented with 0.5% glutamine, B27 minus retinoic acid (X50, Invitrogen), and 1μM retinoic acid (Sigma-Aldrich). After day 10, medium was changed to M-199 (Biological Industries), supplemented with 500 U/mL penicillin, 100 mg/mL streptomycin, 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Biological Industries), 0.6 mM CuSO4•5H2O, 0.5 mM ZnSO4•7H2O, 1.5 mM vitamin B12 (Sigma-Aldrich), this media was refreshed every other day.

Prior to differentiation, cells were dissociated with Accutase™ (StemCell Technologies, Vancouver, BC, Canada) and passaged to six-well plates. Until 100% confluence of iPSCs, NutriStem™ (Biological Industries) was refreshed. On day 0, the medium was changed to 3 mL of RPMI (Biological Industries), supplemented with 0.5% L-glutamine (Biological Industries), B27-Insulin (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and 4.5 µM CHIR-99021 (Tocris, Bristol, UK). On day 2, the medium was changed to 3 mL of RPMI supplemented with 0.5% L-glutamine, B27-Insulin, and 5 µM IWP-2 (Tocris). On day 4, the medium was changed to 3 mL of RPMI supplemented with 0.5% L-glutamine and B27-Insulin. This medium was refreshed on day 6. On day 8, the medium was changed to 3 mL of RPMI supplemented with 0.5% L-glutamine and B27, and this medium was refreshed on day 10. From day 12, the medium was changed to M-199 (Biological Industries), supplemented with 0.1% penicillin/streptomycin, 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Biological Industries), 0.6 mM CuSO4·5 H2O, 0.5 mM ZnSO4·7 H2O, and 1.5 mM Vitamin B12 (Sigma-Aldrich, Darmstadt, Germany). This medium was refreshed every other day.

Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) (kindly provided by Prof. Gera Neufeld, Technion, Israel) were grown on 10 cm plates, coated with 0.2% gelatin in Dulbecco’s phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; Biological Industries, Israel) and overlaid with growth medium comprised of Earle’s salt base (M-199) medium supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 1% antibiotics, 1% vitamins, and glutamine (Biological Industries, USA) and freshly added basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) (PeproTech, Israel) (5 ng/ml). Jurkat T cells (kindly provided by Prof. Debbie Yablonski, Technion, Israel) were maintained in RPMI-1640 (Gibco–Life Technology, USA) with high glucose, 10% heat inactivated FBS, and 1% antibiotics. All cells were incubated at 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator.

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.
