Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human Embryonic Kidney 293T (HEK293T) cells were purchased from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), Manassas, VA, (catalogue # CRL-3216), RRID:CVCL_0063 and tested regularly for mycoplasma contamination. Passage number of the cells was monitored, and cells were used up to passage number 25–30. The cells were maintained in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM) (ATCC, catalogue # 30–2002) supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS), GlutaMAX-I (Gibco, catalogue # 35050), 100 IU/ml penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin and were kept in a tissue-culture incubator with 5% CO2 at 37°C. The cells were transiently transfected with cDNA encoding the rat TRPV2 (rTRPV2-WT, Leu541F-L631Phe or Val635Phe mutant), in the pcDNA3 vector and pEYFP in ratio 1:0.1 using the Effectene reagent (Qiagen) according manufacturer’s protocol and used in experiments 48–72 hr later.

Transfecting BRCA1 Wild-type and Mutant

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were seeded into six-well plates or 150-mm dishes, to achieve ~60% confluency before transfection. Plasmid DNA was transfected using FuGENE 6 (Roche Diagnostics, West Sussex, UK) in a 3:1 ratio following manufacturer's instructions. The pcDNA3-HA-BRCA1 wild-type expression plasmids have previously been described45 (link) and were obtained from Dr David M Livingston (Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA). The BRCA1 mutant used is the cancer-predisposing mutation C61G disrupts homodimer formation in the NH2-terminal BRCA1 RING finger domain. It was generated by site-directed mutagenesis (by Quickchange Mutagenesis kit; #200521, Agilent Technologies LDA UK Limited, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Korea) from the BRCA1 wild-type expression vector.

DENV2 NS5 Recombinant Protein Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The gene encoding full-length NS5 of DENV2 was amplified by PCR from plasmid pBAC-DENV-FL DNA (kindly provided by Drs. Jose A. Usme-Ciro and Juan C. Gallego-Gomez, Universidad de Antioquia, Colombia) which contains the full length cDNA of the DENV2 NGC strain47 (link), and was cloned into the Novagen pET21a vector (EMD Millipore, Etobicoke, ON) to produce pET21aDENV2NS5FLcHis6 for expression and purification of recombinant DENV NS5 containing a carboxyl-terminus hexahistidine tag in E. coli. The amino acid substitution S600T in motif B of DENV RdRp was introduced into Dengue virus NS5 using a Quick-change mutagenesis kit (Agilent Technologies Canada Inc., Mississauga, ON).

Validating miR-466f-3p Binding to c-Met

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The predicted miR-466f-3p-binding sequences in c-Met 3’-UTR was amplified by PCR and inserted into pmirGLO vector (Promega, USA) to construct luciferase reporter vector (pmirGLO-c-Met-wt). Similarly, the potential binding sites of miR-466f-3p in the above sequences were mutated by Quickchange Mutagenesis Kit (Agilent Technologies, USA) to construct mutant vectors, labeled as pmirGLO-c-Met-mut. H293T cells were seeded into 12-well plates at a density of 1×105 cells/well. 24 h later, miR-466f-3p mimics or scrambles were co-transfected with recombinant wide-type or mutant vectors by Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen, USA). The empty pmirGLO vector was transfected as control. The luciferase activities were standardized to the value of the co-transfected group with an empty vector and scrambles.

Generating ICAM-2 Variants by Overlapping PCR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The plasmid encoding human ICAM-2 and transfectants were generated as published5 (link). Overlapping PCR using Pfu polymerase (QuickChange mutagenesis kit; Agilent Tech, Wilmington, DE, USA) and pIRES.ICAM-2 was performed to scramble 4/8 or 8/8 amino acids comprising the proposed α-actinin binding site of ICAM-2 WT (VRAAWRRL)(Figure 1). In variant mAB4, VRAAWRRL was replaced with LRAARWRV; in variant mAB8 VRAAWRRL was replaced with LARRRWAV. The sequence of plasmids encoding variants of ICAM-2 was confirmed by Sanger sequencing (St. Jude Hartwell Center, Memphis, TN, USA). In the Figures, transfected cells are referred to by the form of ICAM-2 expressed: WT, mAB4 or mAB8. Cells transfected with empty vector, SK-N-ASpIRESneo2, are labeled in the Figures as “Control”.

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.
