Immunoprecipitation of HEK293 cell lysates

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK293 cells (Cell Biolabs, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) were lysed in immunoprecipitation (ip) buffer (20 mmol/L Hepes, 120 mmol/L NaCl, 1% Triton-X100) containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors (Thermo Fisher Scientific). IP was performed by incubating 500 mg of whole-cell lysates (INPUT) with the indicated antibodies (listed in Table S4) for 12 h at 4 °C. Mouse or rabbit IgG were used as controls for non-specific co-immunoprecipitation. The following day, protein A- or G- beads (Sigma–Aldrich, St. Louis., MO, USA) were added to lysates and incubated for 6 h at 4 °C. The immuno-complexes were then washed thrice with lysis buffer, re-suspended in SDS sample buffer (Life Technologies, Frederick, MD, USA), and processed for Western blotting.

Caco-2 Cell Culture for Uptake Studies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human adenocarcinoma (Caco-2) cells were used as a model for intestinal epithelial uptake. Cells were purchased from ATCC and seeded at 104 cells/cm2 within one day of arrival. The complete medium used was high-glucose (4.5 g/L) DMEM supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum, 1% GlutaMAX, 1% nonessential amino acids, and 1% penicillin-streptomycin. Cells were incubated at 37 ⁰C with 5% CO2 in a humidified incubator. Media was changed every 2–3 days, and cells were passaged at ~75% confluence. Cells were passaged at least twice before use in uptake and silencing experiments. HEK293 cells from Cell BioLabs (San Diego, CA) were cultured with the same medium and conditions.

Generation of AAV Expressing Mouse MHCI

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We produced the plasmid and AAV as described previously [17] . Brie y, cDNA for mouse MHCI was ampli ed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from a mouse brain cDNA library using speci c primers (sH-2D forward primer, ATGAATTCGCCGCCATGGGGGCGATGGC; sH-2D reverse primer, ATGTCGACCCATCTCAGGGTGAGGGGCT), and inserted into a pCRII-blunt TOPO vector (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). cDNA was subcloned into the EcoRI site of the expression vector pCAGGS-HA, which was a gift from Dr. Kozo Kaibuchi. In the AAV vector, pZac2.1 gfaABC1D-EGFP-P2A-sH-2D was generated by replacing EGFP-P2A-sH-2D in tdTomato in pZac2.1-gfaABC1D-tdTomato, which was donated by Dr. Baljit Khakh (Addgene plasmid # 44332). AAV vectors were prepared as described previously [17, 28] . Brie y, plasmids for the AAV vector, pHelper (Cell BioLabs Inc., San Diego, CA), and pAAV-2/5 (Cell BioLabs Inc.) were transfected into HEK293 cells (Cell BioLabs, Inc.) using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen). After a 3-day incubation, cells were collected and lysed by freeze and thaw cycles. Cell lysates were incubated with benzonase nuclease (Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany). Cell debris was removed by centrifugation at 10,000 x g at room temperature for 10 min. Supernatants were used as the primary virus. AAV titers were estimated via a quantitative polymerase chain reaction.

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.
