Following isolation, 20,000 CD8+ cells were seeded in an anti-mouse CD3e-bound 96-well plate and treated with 10 µl of MDSC-derived exosomes or the same volume of PBS (control). After 48 h, 10 µl of WST-1 reagent (Alkali Scientific Inc.) was added to each well and incubated for 4 h. The absorbance of each well was measured at a wavelength of 450 nm by the Perkin Elmer Victor3 V 1420 multilabel plate reader.

Measuring Endothelial Cell Permeability

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
TEER was measured using a EVOM voltohmeter connected to an Endohm 9 electrode chamber (World Precision Instruments, Sarasota, FL) as previously described [29 (link)]. Tissue culture inserts containing monolayers of HGEc cultured on Transwell-Collagen-coated membrane, were placed in the chamber and the TEER was recorded after 10 sec [29 (link)]. The permeability experiments were done as described before [31 (link)]. Briefly, 3 x 105 HGEC-1 were plated onto Transwell Collagen-coated membrane inserts (Corning Costar, Cat No 3415) in DMEM media with 10% FBS, and left for 3 days to form mature monolayer with a trans-endothelial electrical resistance (TEER) of ~ 60 ± 10 Ω /cm2. Subsequently, the cells were starved for 5 hours in serum free DMEM media without phenol red, treated with the corresponding reagents, and incubated with 1 mg/ml FITC-dextran (Molecular Probes, D-1844, Invitrogen) for 30 min at 37°C. Samples collected from the bottom chambers were read in triplicates on the Victor 3V1420 multi-counter (Perkin-Elmer, Wellesley, PA).

Rim1 Binding Affinity Determination

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Polarization of fluorescein labeled ssDNA was measured to determine the binding affinity of wild type and mutant Rim1 at 25°C in 25 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 50 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mM EDTA, 2 mM β-ME, and 0.1 mg/mL BSA. A solution containing 1 nM of 3’-fluorescein T70 (3’F-T70) was incubated with increasing concentrations of Rim1. Fluorescence polarization values for the experiment were collected using a PerkinElmer Life Sciences Victor3V 1420 with excitation and emission wavelengths set to 485 nm and 535 nm, respectively. Fluorescence polarization was converted to anisotropy and plotted versus concentration of SSB using KaleidaGraph. The data was fit to the Hill equation to obtain a Hill Coefficient and K0.5 value.

U373MG cells were seeded at a density of 1 × 104 per well into 96- well plates (Sigma-Aldrich, Arklow, Ireland) and allowed to adhere and grow overnight. Media was removed for the duration of CAP treatment and fresh media was replaced immediately after treatment and incubated at 37 °C as indicated. No deleterious effects were observed in the vehicle control samples. Cell viability was analysed using Alamar Blue (Fischer Scientific, Ballycoolin, Ireland). Cells were washed once with sterile PBS, incubated for 2.5 hours at 37 °C with a 10% Alamar Blue solution. Fluorescence was measured using an excitation wavelength of 530 nm and emission wavelength of 595 nm on a Victor 3 V 1420 (Perkin Elmer) multi-plate reader.

Gyrase-YacG Interaction Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Gyrase tetramers, individual subunits, and isolated domains were mixed at different concentrations with 50 nM N-terminally Alexa Fluor 488-labeled YacG in a buffer containing 120 mM potassium glutamate, 0.12 mg/mL bovine serum albumin (BSA), 6 μM ZnCl2, 12% (v/v) glycerol, and 30 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.9). Measurements were collected using a Perkin Elmer Victor 3V 1420 multilabel plate reader at 535 nm. All points are normalized to wells that did not contain reconstituted gyrase, gyrase subunits, or gyrase domains. For competition experiments, 750 nM reconstituted gyrase was incubated with 50 nM labeled wild-type YacG, and various nonlabeled YacG constructs were titrated into the solution.

Evaluating Cell Viability with Trypan Blue and Alamar Blue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Trypan Blue cell exclusion assay was performed as an initial evaluation of cell health following treatment with UA. Cell were trypsinized as described above. A Trypan Blue (Fischer Scientific, Ballycoolin, Ireland) cell suspension was counted using a haemocytometer as per manufacturer’s instructions. Cell viability was also measured biochemically using the Alamar Blue assay (Fischer Scientific, Ballycoolin, Ireland). Alamar blue is an oxidation-reduction (redox) fluorogenic indicator of cellular metabolic reduction. After each exposure time point, (24 h or 48 h) cells were washed once with sterile Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). A 10% Alamar blue solution in the DMEM was added to each well and incubated at 37 °C for 2.5 h. Fluorescence was read at an excitation wavelength of 530 nm and an emission wavelength of 595 nm using the Victor 3V 1420 (Perkin Elmer) multi-plate reader.

HeLa cells were transfected with either control siRNA or UPF1si for two consecutive days, and on day 3 were co-transfected with NMD-firefly (FLuc-5xboxb) and Renilla luciferase (RLuc) and either λN or λN-ARS2n. Firefly and Renilla luminescence were analyzed 72 h after the first transfection using the Dual-Glo Luciferase Assay System (Promega) and a Perkin Elmer Victor3V 1420 multi-label plate reader. Firefly luminescence was normalized to Renilla luminescence.

The plate was incubated in a Perkin Elmer Victor 3 V 1420 multilabel plate reader at 37 °C and medium shaking was performed for 8 h, and the optical density at 600 nm was recorded every 5 min.

The mixture was incubated for 15 min at 30°C. Fifty μL of substrate (1 mM 4-Methylumbelliferyl phosphate) was then added to initiate the reaction and the assay mixture was incubated at 30°C. The intensity of the fluorescent product was the measured using a Perkin Elmer Victor 3 V 1420 fluorescent plate reader at 30 min after initiation of the assay. The excitation wavelength was 355 nm, the emission wavelength was 460 nm, and the measurement time was 0.1 s.

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.
