Cytokine Profiling of DC Responses

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Supernatants of DC cultures were harvested 24 h after stimulation with live and inactivated S. aureus, filtered (0.2 μm), and stored at −80°C. The production of IL-12, TNF-α, IL-10, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 was measured by human Inflammatory Cytokine kit (Cytometric Bead Array, CBA, BD Bioscience). Release of IL-23, IFN-γ, and IL-17 was instead assayed by specific ELISA kits (R&D Systems) or by human Th1/Th2 Cytokine kit (Cytometric Bead Array, CBA, BD Bioscience).

Cytokine Profiling of Intestinal DCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To analyze the cytokine secretion profile of the intestinal DCs, CD11c+ cells were isolated by magnetic separation from intestinal single cell suspensions and stimulated in vitro with 1 μg/mL LPS for 20 hrs. IL-1β, IL-12, and IL-10 in the cell culture supernatants were quantitated with a BD Cytometric Bead Array (CBA from BD Biosciences, CA, USA) and FACS analysis following the manufacturer's protocol. The data were analyzed with FCAPArray software v1.0.1 (Soft Flow, St. Louis Park, MN, USA).

Cytokine Profile as a Diagnostic Panel for Cervical Dysplasia

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
One hundred and seventeen patients with HR-HPV infection were divided according to the histopathological diagnosis as no cervical squamous intraepithelial lesion (NSIL; n = 43), low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL; n = 35), and HSIL (n = 39). There were no significant differences among groups with respect to age, HPV subtype, or pregnancy status. Seventy-four patients in the NSIL and LSIL groups were followed up for 3 years. The levels of IL-6, IL-2, IL-4, IL-17A, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and IFN-γ in vaginal lavage fluid were measured using a BD Cytometric Bead Array (CBA; BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Statistically significant cytokines were converted to an algorithm as cytokine score, which was analyzed to be used as diagnostic panels by a logistic regression model. The follow-up was divided into two stages. The first stage was for 6 months; case data were collected and analyzed for the threshold of the cytokine score as a basis for grouping for the second stage (2.5 years) of follow-up. By comparing the results with TCT and HPV genotyping, a cohort study was conducted (Fig. 1).

Measuring Inflammatory Cytokines in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) were measured in plasma obtained from the mice at sacrifice. Bead-based immunoassays BD Cytometric Bead Array (CBA), from BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA, were used according to the manufacturer's instructions. Data were collected on a BD LSRII flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) and analysed by use of FCAP Array software 3.0 (BD Biosciences). All samples were diluted 1 : 2 in Assay Diluent included in the CBA kit. The limits of detection were 1.9, 1.4 and 2.8 pg/mL, for IL-1β, IL-6 and TNFα, respectively.

For measurements of IFNγ, TNF and IL-2 in comparison with RNA measurements over a 96 h time course, cytokine proteins were quantified using a BD cytometric bead array (CBA) from BD Biosciences and analysed by flow cytometry according to the manufacturer’s protocol. RNA was quantified using QuantiTect primer assays from Qiagen (QT01038821 and QT00104006 for mouse Ifng and Tnf, respectively) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Relative transcript abundances were normalised to B2m.

Quantifying Cytokines and Chemokines in Plasma

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cytometric bead array (CBA) test was employed to quantify cytokine and chemokines in plasma samples stored at − 80 °C. Beads, standards, reagents, and plasma samples were prepared according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Results were obtained using the BD Accuri flow cytometer and commercially available kits (BDTM Cytometric Bead Array) and commercial kits from BD™ Cytometric Bead Array (CBA) for “Human Chemokine” and “Human Inflammatory Cytokines” were used (BD Biosciences, USA). Standard dilution methods were applied for cytokine standards. Calibration of the flow cytometer with cytometer setup beads preceded the assay. Data analysis was performed in FCAP Array v2.0 software (SoftFlow, Pecs, Hungary), presenting results in pg/mL.

DCs were cultured in 1.5 × 105 cells/well in 200 μl, and where indicated pre-treated for 24h with CpG-A (5 μg/mL; InvivoGen), IFN-α (100U/ml, PBL Assay Science), Imiquimod (6 μM, Calbiochem), Poly I:C (25 μg/ml, Sigma), etomoxir (200 μM, Tocris Biochemicals), 5-(tetradecyloxy)-2-furoic acid (TOFA; 20 μM, Sigma Aldrich), UK-5099 (50 μM, Sigma Aldrich), MAR1-5A3 (5 μg/ml, Leinco Technologies) or GW6471 (3 μM; Tocris Biochemicals). pDCs were incubated overnight with 100 μM Gemfibrozil or 100 μM Muraglitazar (Santa Cruz). IFNα was detected using a mouse IFNα elisa kit (PBL assay science). TNF-α and IL-6 were measured using BD™ Cytometric Bead Array (CBA).

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.
