After 24 h incubation, IFN-λ1 at the concentrations of 1 ng/ml, 10 ng/ml and 100 ng/ml (Pereprotech, AF-300-02L, United States) were added to the culture media. 10 μl of TransDetect® Cell Counting Kit (CCK) (Transgen, FC101-01, China) was added to each well at the time of 0, 24, 48, and 72 h, respectively. After 1 h incubation, the absorbance at 450 nm was measured by the Multiskan™ FC Microplate Photometer (Thermo Scientific, 51119180, Belgium). Cell colony formation assay was also performed to verify the effect of IFN-λ1 on keratinocyte proliferation. Keratinocytes were planted to 6-well plate at 2,000 cells each well and cultured with various concentration of IFN-λ1 for 15 days. Phosphate buffered saline containing 5% trehalose (5% trehalose-PBS) (MultiSciences, 79-PD0021, China) was used as negative control. After 15 days culture, the cells were fixed with formaldehyde, stained with 0.1% crystal violet, washed with 33% glacial acetic acid and measured with a Multiskan FC microplate photometer (Thermo Scientific, 51119180, Belgium).

In vitro lymphocyte proliferation studies were performed with splenocytes from immunized mice. Two weeks after the third immunization, three mice from each group were randomly selected and euthanized. Harvested spleens were transferred to a tissue culture dish and mechanically minced followed by treatment in red blood cell lysing agent. The resulting splenocytes were washed with RPMI 1640 medium (Gibco, United States) containing 10% FBS. Next, the splenocytes were seeded in 96-well plates to a density of 2 × 103 cells/well (100 μL/well) and stimulated for 24 h with 10 μg/mL purified RVFV Gn head protein at 37°C and 5% CO2. Lymphocyte proliferation was monitored according to the technical manual of the TransDetect Cell Counting kit (CCK) (TransGen Biotech, China).

The proliferation rate of IPCs was determined by TransDetect cell counting kit (CCK) (TransGen Biotech) according to the manufacturer’s instruction. On the 10th day after the induction of ADSCs, each group of cells was digested and plated at 5000 cells per well of a 96-well plate, and each group of cells was provided with 4 replicate wells and 1 zero-adjusted well (zero-well plus CCK plus medium). PBS was added to the peripheral wells for containing cell wells and placed in a layer of the incubator. The optical density at 450 nm (OD450) was measured by SpectraMaxParadigm enzyme labelling apparatus (Molecular Devices LLC, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) at 24, 48, and 72hrs, respectively. One hour before the measurement, the cells were washed with PBS, and 10 μL of CCK reagent and 90 μL of the medium were added to each well and then incubated in an incubator for 1 hr. No bubbles were observed in each well during the measurement. The final CCK value is the measured value minus the value of the zeroing well.

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.
