To analyze cell cycle distribution, IMR-32 and SH-SY5Y cells (1×106) were quickly fixed by methanol (4°C) and treated with 50 µg/ml propidium iodide (PI) (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) for 20 min. A FACSCalibur™ flow cytometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used to obtain the cell cycle histograms. MultiCycle AV software (Phoenix Flow System, USA) was then used to calculate the percentages of cells in the G0/G1, S or G2/M phases.

Multiplex Cytometric Assay for Th-Related Cytokines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Serum levels of Th-related cytokines that included Th1
(IFN-γ, TNF-α and IL-2), Th2 (IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-
13 ), Th17 (IL-17A, IL-17F and IL-21), Th9 (IL-9) and Th22
(IL-22) were quantified with a multiplex cytometric bead
assay using a commercial kit (BioLegend, San Diego, CA,
USA) according to the manufacturer’s directions. Briefly, a
mixture of FITC-labeled antibody-coated beads for each
desired cytokine, which could be differentiated by their sizes
and fluorescence intensities, was incubated with the mouse
serum samples or standards. After capturing the cytokines by
the beads, biotin-conjugated anti-mouse antibody and PElabeled streptavidin were successively added. The results were
visualized with a FACSCalibur flow cytometer (eBioscience,
San Diego, CA, USA) and the data were analyzed with
FlowCytomix Pro-3.0 software (BioLegend).

Murine MSCs with different treatments were irradiated with 30 Gy from a 137 Cs source as previously described11 (link), to inactivate MSCs by inhibiting their proliferation while reserving their immunosuppressive capacity, and then seeded into 96-well plates. Freshly isolated splenocytes (2 × 105 cells/well) from C57/BL6 mice were labeled with 7.5 μM carboxyfluorescein diacetatesuccinimidyl ester (CFSE, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and co-cultured with murine MSCs for 3 days in the presence of mouse anti-CD3/CD28 antibodies (eBiosciences, San Diego, CA, USA), then collected for flow cytometric analysis on a FACS Calibur flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). Human MSCs with different treatments were irradiated with 30 Gy from a 137 Cs source and seeded into 96-well plates. Freshly isolated PBMCs (2 × 105 cells/well) from healthy volunteers were labeled with 7.5 μM CFSE and co-cultured with human MSCs for 3 days in the presence of human anti-CD3/CD28 antibodies (eBiosciences), then collected for flow cytometric analysis on a FACS Calibur flow cytometer.

Quantifying Apoptosis via Flow Cytometry

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
An apoptosis assay was performed on mock- or NS1-transfected cells using the PE Annexin V apoptosis detection kit according to the manufacturer's instructions (BD PharMingen, San Diego, CA, Catalogue number: 559763). PE Annexin V was used to quantitatively determine the percentage of cells undergoing the early phases of apoptosis through bounding to phospholipid phosphatidylserine. In this kit, 7-AAD is also used as a vital dye to distinguish viable from nonviable cells. Cells were analyzed using a FACSCalibur flow cytometer (eBioscience, Santa Cruz, CA, USA). Cells that stained double-positive for PE Annexin V and 7-AAD were considered as apoptotic 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.
