HEK 293 and A549 (human lung epithelial) cells were cultured in DMEM (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA) supplemented with 10% FCS (10% FCS/DMEM) and antibiotics at 37 °C in 5% CO2. Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells were cultured in Eagle’s MEM (GIBCO) with 5% NCS at 37 °C in 5% CO2. Influenza A/WSN/33 virus (WSN; H1N1) was generated by use of reverse genetics, as described previously (Neumann et al., 1999 (link)) and propagated in MDCK cells. Virus was titrated by plaque assay in MDCK cells (Tobita et al., 1975 (link)). The PB2-knockout virus possessing the Renilla luciferase gene (PB2-KO/Rluc virus) was generated with pPolIPB2(120)Rluc(120) (encoding Renilla luciferase flanked by 120 N- and C-terminal nucleotides derived from the PB2 segment) and plasmids encoding the remaining seven viral RNA segments, and propagated and titrated in MDCK cells stably expressing the PB2 protein as described previously (Ozawa et al., 2011 (link)).

The wild-type HSV-1 virus Syn17+ [88 (link)] was used throughout the study, and the virus titers were determined by plaque titration on Green monkey kidney (GMK, obtained from the Swedish Institute for Infectious Disease Control, Stockholm) cells as previously described [89 (link)]. HSV-1 Syn17+ virus was cultivated in HaCaT wild type keratinocytes or GMK cells depending on downstream application and the titers were determined as mentioned above. Diploid human embryonic lung fibroblasts [70 (link)] (HEL, obtained from the cell culture collection at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital, department of Clinical Microbiology, Gothenburg) at a low passage level were cultivated in Eagle’s MEM (Gibco, Life Technologies) with 10% FCS (Sigma), 100 IU/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin (Gibco, Life Technologies) and 2 mM L-glutamine. HaCaT wild type [90 (link)] and HaCaT COSMC-/- [56 ] keratinocytes were grown in DMEM (Gibco, Life Technologies), supplemented with 10% FCS (HyClone), 100 IU/mL penicillin and 100 μg/mL streptomycin (Gibco, Life Technologies). HaCaT COSMC-/- clone D5 harbors a 10 bp deletion at the zink finger nuclease target site of COSMC gene, whereas clone E5 harbors a combined 12 bp deletion and a 2 bp insertion. Both genetic alerations result in introduction of STOP codons due to frameshift mutations [56 ].

Next CellTiter-Glo® (Promega cat# G7571), was prepared according to manufacturer’s instructions, and 0.025 mL of was added to each assay well. Following a 10-minute incubation at room temperature, the cell viability was measured on a plate reader equipped with luminescence detection. High and low assay controls were established using DMSO (100% survival) and 100 μM Digitoxin (Sigma cat# D5878; 0% survival) respectively and all data were normalized to these controls and expressed as percent response.

Neutralization tests were performed in RD cells using a TCID50-reduction assay [19 (link), 42 (link)]. Serum samples were incubated at 56°C for 30 min. Duplicate serum samples were diluted in Eagle’s MEM (Gibco) in a series ranging from 1:8 to 1:1024 dilutions. A total of 50 μl of 100 tissue culture infective doses (TCID50) of CA16 virus was mixed with 50 μl of the appropriate serum dilution and incubated at 37°C for two hours in the presence of CO2, followed by the addition of 100 μl of an RD cell suspension (1 x 105 cells per 0.1 ml). Infected cells and controls were incubated at 37°C in 5.0% CO2 and observed with an inverted microscope daily for seven days. The highest dilution that prevented the development of cytopathic effects in 50.0% of the wells was considered the antibody titer of the sample. A virus back-titration was also performed to determine the virus titer and this serve as a no-serum control.

Procedures for pituitary RPD isolation and incubations have been described previously (30 (link), 32 (link)). The pituitary was removed and the RPD was dissected and placed individually in wells of a 96-well plate containing Modified Kreb's bicarbonate Ringer (320 mOsmolal) solution with addition of glucose (5 mM), L-glutamine (2.05 mM), and Eagles MEM (Gibco, Grand Island, NY) whereby pH of the media was adjusted to 7.4. Tissues were incubated at 24°C in a humidified environment containing 95%O2/5%CO2 at 60 revolutions per minute. Following a 2-h preincubation, the media was replaced with fresh control or experimental media containing recombinant tilapia Leptin A (rtLepA, dosages indicated in figures and legends), the dominant leptin paralog in teleost fishes (30 (link)), and/or pharmacological agents at concentrations and time periods provided in the figures (33 (link)). Media was removed and frozen at −20°C for subsequent lactate measurement. Tissues were removed and placed in either RNALater at 4°C for assessment of gene expression or in phosphofructokinase (PFK) assay buffer (Sigma), snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen then placed at −20°C for later Western blot analyses and PFK activity determinations.

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.
