MA104 cell line (ATCC CRL-2378.1) or stably transfected MA104 cells (NSP5; Δ3, ΔT) were seeded into 24-well plates and subsequently infected with recombinant RVs at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) (FFU/cell) of 0.5 for multistep growth curve experiments and an MOI of 5 for a single-step growth curve experiment. After adsorption for 1 h at 37°C, the cells were washed twice with PBS and the medium was replaced with DMEM without trypsin. After incubation at 37°C, the cells were harvested after 8, 16, 24, and 36 h of virus adsorption. The cell lysates were freeze-thawed three times and activated with trypsin (1 μg/ml) for 30 min at 37°C. The lysates were used to infect monolayers of MA-NSP5 cells seeded in a μ-Slide 8-well chamber slide (iBidi GmbH, Munich, Germany). The cells were then fixed 5 h postinfection for 15 min with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized for 5 min with PBS containing 0.01% Triton X-100. Next, cells were incubated for 30 min with PBS-BSA at room temperature and then with anti-NSP5 serum (1:1,000) diluted in PBS-BSA (22 (link)). After three washes with PBS, cells were incubated for 1 h at room temperature with TRITC-conjugated anti-guinea pig IgG (Jackson ImmunoResearch) (1:500) diluted in PBS containing 1% BSA (PBS-BSA).
The number of infected cells was counted, and the virus titers were expressed in focus-forming units per ml (FFU/ml).

After 1 day of incubation, AuNPs-Pc158 conjugates were added at Pc158 concentrations of 0.0625, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, and 1 μmol/L. After coincubation for 6 or 24 h, the medium was removed and cells were washed with PBS, then another 200 μL of medium was added to each well prior to light irradiation. The 96-well plate was irradiated (Appolo Horizon projector, Acco Brands) with radiant exposure at 1 J/cm2, after which the cells were incubated overnight. After incubation, CCK8 agent (DojinDo Laboratories) was added to each well (10 μL/well) and incubated for 3 h at 37 °C, and absorbance at 450 nm was measured for each well.

1 × 105 RDEB keratinocytes were seeded into μ-Slide 8-well chamber slides (Ibidi, Gräfelfing, Germany) and grown to 70%–100% confluency. Cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde solution (SAV Liquid Production, Flintsbach am Inn, Germany) for 10 min at RT. Permeabilization and staining of cells was performed in a single step. A rabbit anti-type VII collagen antibody (kindly provided by Dr. Alexander Nyström, Freiburg, Germany) was used in a 1:1,000 dilution, diluted in 0.3% Triton-X, blocking reagent (1:10), and TBS-T. The primary antibody was applied for 3 h at RT. After two cycles of TBS-T wash, cells were stained with an Alexa Fluor 594 goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G (IgG) heavy and light chain (H+L) secondary antibody (Invitrogen, Paisley, UK) (1:300 in TBS-T) for 1 h at RT. Cell nuclei were stained with DAPI (1:4,000 in TBS-T) for 10 min at RT. Finally, cells were analyzed for C7 expression, using an inverted microscope system, which includes the laser scanning confocal microscope Zeiss LSM 700 and the Axio Observer. Z1 (Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany). For cell counting and quantification of C7-positive cells, a tile scan (3 × 3 areas merged) of approximately 1,000 μm × 1,000 μm was performed.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The binding of fluorescence-labelled Hsp70 to anti-Hsp70 CAR T cells was determined using confocal imaging. For this, effector cells (3x105) were washed in PBS and then incubated with Alexa Fluor™ 555-conjugated Hsp70 (50 µg/mL, multimmune GmbH) and an FITC-conjugated cMyc mAb for 15 min on ice in PBS containing 5% w/v BSA (as blocking solution), after which cells were washed using ice-cold PBS. Before imaging, nuclei were incubated with DRAQ5™ far-red DNA stain (5 µM, ThermoFisher Scientific) for 5 min. Images were acquired using a confocal laser-scanning microscope (CLSM; Leica TCS SP8, Germany) equipped with Leica LAS X software.
To determine the expression of mHsp70 by LS174T cells, cells (2x104 cells/well) were seeded overnight on μ-slide 8-well chamber slides (ibidi GmbH, Germany), after which the medium was refreshed by complete medium containing FITC-conjugated cmHsp70.1 mAb. Following a 20 min incubation on ice, the cells were washed twice with cold PBS and then fixed with ice-cold 4% w/v paraformaldehyde (PFA) in PBS for 15 min at RT. After an additional washing step, the filamentous actin (F-actin) and nuclei of cells were stained with rhodamine-phalloidin (1 μg/mL) and DAPI (2 μg/mL) respectively in light protected condition for 1 hour at RT before imaging.

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.
