Cytokine Profiling Assay for Mouse Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A proteome profiler array (mouse cytokine array panel A; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) was used to assay the level of 40 cytokines according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, the capture antibody of cytokines and chemokines were spotted on nitrocellulose membranes. The sample/antibody mixture was incubated, and the cytokine-chemokine antibody complex was bound to the immobilized capture antibody on the membrane. After the streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase and chemiluminescent reagents had been added, the signal was proportional to the amount of cytokine bound. For secreted cytokines, supernatants were collected from infected/treated cells at the indicated times. Mouse TNF-α (BD Biosciences/Pharmingen) and mouse MCP-1 (R&D Biosystems) were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Spleens from C57BL/6 mice were immediately excised upon killing. Single-cell suspensions were achieved in vitro via mechanical dissociation. Red blood cells were lysed by resuspension in ammonium-chloride-potassium lysis buffer and incubating at room temperature for 2 min. Cells were resuspended at a concentration of 1 × 106 cells/mL in Iscove’s modified Dulbecco’s medium (Gibco) supplemented with 5% FBS, 1% penicillin-streptomycin, and 40 μmol/L 2-mercaptoethanol. Splenocytes were restimulated with CSDE1, CSDE1P5S, TYRP2, or VSV-N52-59 peptides with or without the addition of CD200AR-L or control SIINFEKL (5 μg/mL). Supernatants were collected and assayed for IFN-γ by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) as per the manufacturer’s instructions (Mouse TNF-α or Mouse IFN-γ ELISA Kit, OptEIA, BD Biosciences).

TBARS assay to evaluate malondialdehyde (MDA) was estimated using commercially available kit (BioAssay System, Hayward, CA, USA). Hepatic ROS levels were measured using DCF_DA fluorescence probe. Briefly, small pieces of hepatic tissue were homogenized in 10 mM PBS (pH.7.2) and centrifuged at 3000× g, 20 min, 4 °C. Then supernatants were collected and transferred 100 µL of sample lysates to black wall of 96-well microplate and 10 µL of DCF_DA 10 µM were added to the plate. Plate was incubated in 37 °C for 20 min and fluorescents were measured under the excitation/emission at 485 nm/535 nm of wavelengths. Results appeared as fold changes, which were normalized by control group. Hepatic protein levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines were measured using commercially available kits according to the manufacturer’s protocol (mouse TNF-α and mouse IL-6 for BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA, USA; mouse IL-1β for R&D system, Minneapolis, MN, USA).

For myelin-specific T cell activation, 5 × 104 DCs treated with PS-loaded PLGA nanoparticles, PS alone, or blank PLGA nanoparticles at 37 °C for 4 h were pulsed with MOG35–55 peptide (50 μg/ml) and then incubated with 2 × 105 T cells for 48 h. The cells and media were separated, and the supernatant was probed for mouse IFNγ (Biolegend, 430806), mouse IL-2 (BD, 555148), mouse IL-6 (BD, 555240) mouse TNFα (BD, 555268).

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.
