Flow cytometry was performed to analyze the cell-surface expression of typical protein markers. The adherent cells were incubated with the following anti-human primary antibodies CD31-phycoerythrin (PE), CD45-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), CD90-R-PE, HLA-DR-R-PE (Becton-Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). The total of 10,000 labeled cells were analyzed using a Guava easyCyte flow cytometer running Guava Express Plus software (Guava Technologies, Inc., Hayward, CA, USA).

To analyze the cell-surface expression of typical protein markers, adherent cells were passaged with 0.25% trypsin (Gibco). The cells were washed in PBS and fixed in a 4% paraformaldehyde solution (both from Sigma-Aldrich, Milwaukee, WI, USA) for 10 min; and incubated with the following anti-human primary antibodies: mouse monoclonal CD45-phycoerythrin (PE) (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA; catalog no.: ab25603; dilution: 0.2 µg/106 cells), mouse monoclonal CD31-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) (Abcam; catalog no.: ab33858; dilution:10 µl/106 cells), mouse monoclonal CD90-FITC (Abcam; catalog no.: ab11155; dilution: 10 µl/106 cells), mouse monoclonal HLA-DR-PE (Abcam; catalog no.: ab95830; dilution: 5 µl/106 cells). A total of 10,000 labeled cells were analyzed using a Guava easyCyte flow cytometer running Guava Express Plus software (Guava Technologies, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).

Subconfluent cells were collected with trypsin–EDTA and fixed with 4% PFA for 20 min at room temperature. After washing with PBS, the fixed cells were labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated antibodies against human CD14 (clone M5E2), CD90 (clone 5E10), and CD105 (clone 266) (Becton Dickinson), CD34 (clone 581) and CD44 (clone J.173) (Beckman Coulter, Fullerton, CA, USA), STRO-1 (clone STRO-1; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA), and phycoerythrin-conjugated mouse immunoglobulin (Ig) G1 (clone MOPC-21; Becton Dickinson). Flow-cytometric analysis was performed using a Guava™ EasyCyte HT system and Guava™ Express Plus software (version 2.7; Merck KGaA).

Endogenous Promoter Transcriptional Activity Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CHO-K1, BHK-21 and HEK293T cells were transfected with 1 µg of novel vectors containing the endogenous promoters. The pCMV-ZsGreen1-1 was used as control to compare the transcriptional activity of endogenous promoters. Co-transfection of each plasmid with pCIneo-CMV-IFNα vector [29] was performed to evaluate transfection efficiency, determined by quantification of interferon alpha (IFNα) in culture supernatants. At the same time, novel vectors were co-transfected with pBKS plasmid used as a carrier to equalize DNA load across all transfections. Lipofectamine TM 2000 Transfection Reagent (Invitrogen) was used, according to the manufacturer's instructions.
After 48 h, transfection efficiency was analyzed by assessing fluorescence intensity of ZsGreen1 in transfected cells by fluorescence microscopy (Eclipse Ti-S, Nikon Instruments Inc) and flow cytometry (Guava EasyCyte, Merck Millipore). The percentage of ZsGreen1-expressing cells (%ZsGreen) and ZsGreen1 mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of each sample were analyzed using Guava ExpressPlus software (Merck Millipore) and MFI was expressed as fluorescence arbitrary units (FAU). Additionally, the culture supernatant of pCIneo-CMV-IFNα co-transfected cells was collected and analyzed by ELISA sandwich using the protocol described by Ceaglio et al. (2008). [29]

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.
