Celltrace violet ctv cell proliferation kit

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

The CellTrace™ Violet (CTV) Cell Proliferation Kit is a fluorescent cell-labeling solution that can be used to monitor cell division and proliferation in vitro. The kit provides a simple and efficient method for tracking cell division by labeling cells with a violet-fluorescent dye that is equally partitioned between daughter cells during cell division.

Isolated B cells were stimulated with oligodeoxynucleotide 2006 (CpG, InvivoGen, Wiltshire, U.K.) for 48 h. TLR signaling inhibition studies used the MyD88 inhibitory peptide Pepinh-MYD at the given concentration (InvivoGen). B cell stimulations were achieved using goat anti-human IgM/G/A F(ab′)2 (Jackson ImmunoResearch) fragments at 1 μg/ml, anti-CD40 (clone S2C6, Macbeth) at 5 μg/ml, or with IL-4 (PeproTech), IL-10, IL-21 (Miltenyi Biotec), PGE2 (Sigma-Aldrich), IL-15 (Miltenyi Biotec), and BAFF (Miltenyi Biotec) (all at 50 ng/ml). Proliferations assays were performed using a CellTrace Violet (CTV) cell proliferation kit (Life Technologies).
The CD161 blocking assay included 2 × 106 B cells/ml in 500 μl in a 48-well plate (Corning) with combinations of CpG (5 μM), anti-CD40 (5 μg/ml) plus IL-4 (50 ng/ml), anti-CD161 at 1 μg/ml (clone 191.B8, Miltenyi Biotec), and IgG2A isotype control (R&D Systems).

Antibodies and dilutions are described in the reporting summary. For staining, single cell preparations were made from spleen and lymph node in MACS buffer (PBS with 2% FBS and 2 μM EDTA). Staining panels containing anti-CD93 (Supplementary Fig. 1d) were performed in MACS buffer not supplemented with EDTA. After ACK (Ammonium Chloride) lysis of RBCs, cells were washed once and Fc receptors blocked with anti-mouse CD16/32 (2.4G2, BioXCell). Cells were incubated with antibodies for 45/60 min on ice. Intracellular staining of BCL-6, Foxp3 and MCL-1 were performed using the Foxp3-staining buffer set from eBioscience. The following reagents were used according to the manufacture instructions: PhiPhiLux-G1D2 kit (OncoImmunin Inc.), Annexin V-FITC (BD Biosciences) and Annexin V binding buffer (BioLegend), CellTrace™ Violet (CTV) Cell Proliferation Kit from Life Technologies, LIVE/DEAD® Fixable Aqua Dead Cell Stain Kit and LIVE/DEAD® Fixable Near-IR Dead Cell Stain Kit (Life Technologies). The following gates were applied before the identification of the specific cell types: FSC-A/SSC-A, exclusion of doublets (SSC-H/SSC-W and FSC-H/FSC-W), live cells (negative for Aqua or Near-IR dead stain kit); gating strategies for each population are indicated in each figure legend. Flow cytometry was performed on a LSRII (BD Biosciences) and data analyzed using FlowJo 9.9 software (TreeStar).

To assess morphology, OE33-AR (1.72 × 103), JH-AR (5.73 × 103), or OE19-AR (5.73 × 103) cells were seeded into 96-well µ-plates (Ibidi, Martinsried, Germany) in stripped medium supplemented with either vehicle or 10 nM DHT replaced daily for 3 days. For direct co-cultures, NFFs were labeled using the CellTrace Violet (CTV) Cell Proliferation Kit according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Life Technologies). Fibroblasts were seeded at 1.14 × 104 per well, and OE33-ARs were seeded overnight at 1.43 × 103 cells per well, in either monoculture or overlying fibroblasts followed by treatment with vehicle or 10 nM DHT for 6 days, with medium replaced every 48 h. Images were captured using a Zeiss LSM 700 confocal microscope with Zen2012 SP1 (black edition) software version 8.1.

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.
