Normal human umbilical cord blood (CB) samples were obtained from the Royal London Hospital under ethical approval (HRECO6/Q0604/110) and from the Anthony Nolan Research Biobank (15/EM/0045). Thymus tissue was obtained from the Evelina Children’s Hospital (09/H0504/39). Blood from children was obtained in collaboration with Dr. C. Furness and Prof. M. Greaves at the Institute for Cancer Research using United Kingdom Childhood Cancer Study stored samples from patients with nephroblastoma or neuroblastoma (CCR2285); adult blood was obtained from healthy volunteers (07/H0803/237). T cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (T-ALL) samples were obtained from the Bloodwise Childhood Leukaemia Cell Bank (16/SW/0219). Mononuclear cells were isolated from blood by centrifugation using Ficoll-Paque PLUS (GE Healthcare Life Sciences). For CB, mononuclear cells were enriched in CD34+ cells (STEMCELL Technologies), and the CD34 fraction (on occasion from pooled donors) was used for experiments.

Recombinant human IL-3 (30 ng/ml) was added for the first week. Half of the culture medium was replaced every 7 days. Cultures at 8 to 10 weeks consisted of greater than 99% huMC [23] (link). Unless otherwise stated, experiments were performed in StemPro-34 SFM complete with 100 ng/mL SCF.

Human umbilical cord blood CD34+ cells (Stemcell
Technologies, Catalog #: 70008.5) or THP-1 cells (400 cells each) were treated
with serial diluted concentrations of an indicated mAb or ADC, and resuspended
in MethoCult Classic (Stemcell, Cat#4434), plated, and incubated in a humidified
chamber per manufacturer’s directions. Colonies were classified and
counted after 8 days.

Humanized Mouse Model for Hematopoietic Engraftment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For humanization, mice received total body irradiation (TBI) to a dose of 2 Gy. Irradiations were performed between 8–10 AM on unanesthetized mice using a SmART Precision X-ray instrument (225 kVp; 10 mA; half value layer (HVL) 0.89 mm Cu) with a dose rate of 107.7 cGy/min. At 24 hours post-irradiation, animals were transplanted via tail vein with a dose of 50,000 CD34+ cells from mixed donors purchased from StemCell technologies (catalog number: 70008). At four weeks post-CD34+ transplant, human CD45+ chimerism was determined by FACS analysis of peripheral blood. The following antibody panel was used: APC anti-human CD45 (Biolegend, 3368512), Pacific Blue Anti-human CD3 (Biolegend, 300330), FITC anti-mouse CD45 (Biolegend, 103108), PE anti-human CD13 (Biolegend, 301704), 7-AAD (Biolegend, 420404), APC-CY7 anti-human CD19 (Biolegend, 302218).

Umbilical cord blood (UCB)-derived CD34+ cells (Stemcell Technologies, 70008.3) were thawed, expanded and differentiated into erythroblasts as described (Douay and Giarratana, 2009 (link); Griffiths et al., 2012 (link)). Briefly CD34+ cells were first expanded for 6 days in ISHI media [IMDM (Gibco), 3U/mL Heparin (Merck), 10 μg/mL Insulin (Sigma), 200 μg/mL of holo-transferrin (Merck) and 5% Human AB serum (Sigma)) in the presence of cytokine cocktail A (60 ng/mL of SCF (Life Technologies), 5 ng/mL of IL3 (Peprotech) and 3U/mL of EPO (R&D Bio-Techne)]. These expanded cells were cryopreserved in batches of 106 cells/mL in a 1:1 mix of ISHI media and freezing media (60% KnockOut Serum Replacement (Gibco), 20% DMSO (Invitrogen) and 20% ISHI media). These “day 6” cells were thawed and used as a starting point for the erythroid differentiation in macrophage co-culture experiments.

Isolation and Co-culture of Human Cardiac Myocytes and CD34+ Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human adult cardiac myocytes (HACMs) were isolated from the left ventricular tissue obtained from the hearts of patients undergoing heart transplantation. Mechanical dissociation of the tissue and separation of the cardiomyocytes from fibroblasts detached to Petri-dish surface was performed, as described previously
13 (link). All tissue donors gave their informed written consent to the study. The study was approved by the local ethical committee (Medical University of Vienna, Austria; EK 151/2008) and complies with the Declaration of Helsinki.
Human cord blood CD34 positive cells (CD34+ cells) were purchased from StemCell Technologies Company (Grenoble, France). The cells were used in in vitro cell migration assay to assess their migratory capacity toward HACMs. Since porcine CD34+ cells are not commercially available, we used human cardiomyocytes and human cord blood CD34+ cells.

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.
