Human auricular chondrocytes from the rapid or slow cell groups were suspended in 1% atelocollagen at a concentration of 1 × 107 cells/mL. The cell-collagen mixture (20 μL) was placed at the bottom of a 15 mL conical tube (BD Falcon, USA) and incubated for 2 h at 37 °C and 5% CO2. Differentiation medium (2 mL) (DMEM/F12 supplemented with insulin-like growth factor-1 [IGF-1]; 1 μg/mL; Astellas Pharma Inc. Tokyo, Japan) was added after gelation, and the cells were cultured for 3 weeks in an incubator at 37 °C and 5% CO2.

Lung tissue was transported in Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS, Life Technologies) on ice immediately after surgery. Half of the tissue was embedded, and the rest was cut into 1-mm3 pieces and digested with collagenase I (2 mg/mL) and IV; (1 mg/mL) in a 15 mL conical tube (BD Falcon) at 37°C for 30 min on a tube revolver (Thermo) with frequent agitation. All samples were then filtered through 70 μm and 40 μm nylon mesh filters (BD Biosciences) and centrifuged at 4°C at 400 x g for 5 min. The cell pellet was suspended in red blood cell lysis buffer, centrifuged and resuspended in PBS with 0.04% FBS. Following dissociation, single-cell suspensions were stained with 7-aminoactinomycin D (7-AAD) in a dark room for 15 min before being analyzed by flow cytometry for live-cell sorting with a MoFloAstrios EQ (Beckman Coulter). Cell suspensions were added to the Master Mix to achieve a final number of 8000 cells per reaction for scRNA-seq.

We used 4 NSC culture plates per experiment, which were prepared with the same number of cells and maintained under identical culture conditions. For cell counting, one of these plates was randomly selected at 24 hrs, 48 hrs and 72 hrs of culture, transferred to a 15 ml conical tube (BD Falcon), centrifuged and then treated with TrypLE for 5 minutes after removing the supernatant. Dissociated cells were stained with trypan blue and counted using a TC20 automated cell counter (Bio-Rad Laboratories, CA, USA).

Example 8

The transformation of HEK293-T cells with the prepared O1P1-3C-SGLuc constructs was performed as previously described herein. The incubation media was removed and assayed for luciferase activity as previously described herein. Cells were removed from surface by repeated pipetting of media then collected in a 15 ml conical tube (Falcon) and centrifuged at 500 rpm for 5 min to pellet cells. Cells were then re-suspended in 200 μl of MPER mammalian protein extraction reagent (Invitrogen). Samples were mixed with 4× NuPAGE loading buffer (Invitrogen) per manufacturer's instructions and heated at 95° C. for 10 min. Samples were then briefly centrifuged and loaded onto NuPAGE Novex 4-12% Bis-Tris protein gels (Invitrogen) and run in 1×MES (2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid) buffer at 200 V for 35 min. The harvested, transformed cells were transferred to 0.2 m pore size PVDF pre-cut blotting membranes (Invitrogen) with 1×transfer buffer (Invitrogen) per manufacturer's instructions.

DiOlistic Labeling of Neuronal Structures

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DiOlistic labeling was performed according to published techniques (Seabold et al. 2010 (link)). Approximately 300 mg of tungsten beads (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) were dissolved in 99.5 % pure methylene chloride (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) and sonicated in a water bath for 30 minutes. Crystallized DiI (14.5 mg; Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) was dissolved in methylene chloride and light protected. Following sonication, 100 μl of the bead solution was placed on a glass slide and 150 μl of the DiI solution titrated on top, and slowly mixed using a pipette tip. After air drying, a razor blade was used to collect the dye/bead mixture onto wax-coated weigh paper and the dye/bead mixture transferred to a 15 ml conical tube (BD Falcon, San Jose, California) with 3 ml ddH2O and subsequently sonicated for 45–60 minutes.

Single-cell isolation from resected tumors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Resected tumors were transported in Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS, Life Technologies) on ice immediately after surgery. The tumor sample was subsequently divided into two pieces, and a small fragment was stored in liquid nitrogen for tissue staining. The remainder of the tumor was minced with scalpels into tiny cubes <0.5 mm3 and transferred into a 15 mL conical tube (BD Falcon) containing 8 mL pre-warmed HBSS, 1 mg/mL collagenase I and 0.5 mg/mL collagenase IV. Tumor pieces were digested on a Tube Revolver (Thermo) for 30 min at 37 °C. This suspension was then filtered using a 70 μm nylon mesh (BD Biosciences) and residual cell clumps were discarded, then the cell pellet was resuspended in red blood cell lysis buffer. Following a 5 min incubation at room temperature, samples were centrifuged to discard the supernatant and re-suspend the cell pellet in PBS with 0.04% FBS. Cell sorting was performed with a MoFloAstrios EQ (Beckman Coulter). Live cells were used for single-cell experiments after the dead cells were eliminated based on exclusion of 7-aminoactinomycin D (Life Technologies).

Optimizing hiPSC Culture Conditions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The hiPSC line 19c3 (p20–p60), derived from a healthy male, was used for medium variable optimization. Prior to assay, cells were grown to 75% confluence after 4 days of culture as above. Cells were dissociated with TrypLE (Gibco, 12604013) for 3 min at 37°C and resuspended in DMEM/F12, transferred to a 15-mL conical tube (Falcon), and centrifuged at 200 × g for 3 min (Sorvall ST40). The pellet was resuspended in DMEM/F12 and diluted to 1 × 105 cells mL−1, and 10,000 cells were plated per well in Matrigel (1:800)-coated 12-well plates (Greiner) in the medium to be tested along with 2 μM thiazovivin for the first 24 h. Media were changed daily and cells were grown for 6 days. This lower than normal seeding density was used to allow the discovery of factors detectable only under more extreme conditions and therefore provide data on the robustness of the formulation. Cell growth was then assessed using PrestoBlue (Invitrogen, A13262), by adding 100 μL of PrestoBlue to the 1 mL of existing medium in each well and incubating for 2 h at 37°C. Fluorescence (560 nm excitation, 590 nm emission) was then measured using a Varioskan LUX (Thermo Scientific) plate reader with “top read” function.

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.
