For establishment of a murine B-ALL model by overexpressing the N-Myc oncogene in hematopoietic stem progenitor cells, an MSCV-N-Myc-IRES-GFP plasmid together with the pCL-ECO packaging plasmid were transfected into HEK293T cells, followed by collection of the supernatant containing retroviruses 48–72 h after transfection. Lin fetal liver cells were purified and spin infected with N-Myc retroviruses. The infected cells were then incubated in Stemspan medium (StemCell) in the presence of 10 ng/mL murine SCF (Peprotech) and 10 ng/mL murine IL-7 (Peprotech) for 2 days. A total of 1–3 × 105 infected Lin- BM cells were transplanted into lethally irradiated (10 Gy) recipient mice by retro-orbital injection. GFP+ BM B-ALL cells collected from primary recipient mice were sorted and transplanted into lethally irradiated 6- to 8-week-old recipients. The frequency of GFP+ cells in the peripheral blood of recipient mice was analyzed by flow cytometric analysis at the indicated time points post-transplantation to evaluate B-ALL development. In another set of experiments, 5 × 105 B-ALL cells were cultured in 12-well plates with 500 μL of StemSpan serum-free medium (STEMCELL Technologies) containing 10 ng/mL mouse SCF (Peprotech), 10 ng/mL murine IL-7 (Peprotech), and 30 μg of ANGPTL2-containing SEVs, ANGPTL2-mut#2-containing SEVs or control SEVs for 6 h before transplantation.

Primary mouse clonogenic progenitor assays or colony forming units (CFU) assays were performed by plating 5×105 unfractionated nucleated BM cells in methylcellulose M3434 (StemCell Technologies, Vancouver, Canada) in 1 ml duplicates. Colonies were counted and scored after 7 days of incubation using standard morphological criteria39 (link). To assay granulocyte/macrophage (GM-CFU), unfractionated nucleated BM cells (5×105) were suspended in methylcellulose medium (M3231, StemCell Technologies) with 0.01 ng/ml murine GM-CSF (Peprotech, Rocky Hill, NJ, US) and plated in 1 ml duplicates. Colonies were counted after 7 days. To assay PreB-cell colonies (PreB-CFU), unfractionated nucleated BM cells (5×105) were suspended in methylcellulose medium (M3231, StemCell Technologies) with 0.1, 1 and 10ng/ml murine IL-7 (Peprotech) and plated in 1-ml duplicates. Colonies were counted after 7 days. Representative images were taken with a Keyence BZ-X710 microscope (Keyence, Itasca, IL, US). Images were viewed with the Keyence BZ-X viewer and BZ-X analyzer. Image brightness and contrast were edited using Affinity Designer. To assess the effect of known chemical inhibitors on CFUs from either RoLoRiG+/+Mx1CRE- or RoLoRiG+/+Mx1CRE+ mice, cells were plated in the absence or presence of U0126 MEK inhibitor (5μM), PI3K inhibitor GDC-0941 (0.1μM) or mTOR inhibitor rapamycin (0.1μM).

Limiting dilution assays were adapted from55 (link). In brief, ST2 6 (link) or OP9 56 (link) stromal cells were plated at a concentration of 4000 cells per well in a 96-well flat-bottom plate one day prior to plating. One day later, the s.e.m.i-confluent stromal cells were γ-irradiated with 2000 rad using a Cobalt source (Gammacell 40, Atomic Energy of Canada, Ltd). Populations of interest were sorted and plated at different concentrations (3, 6, 12, 24, or 48 cells per well). Cultures were maintained in supplemented IMDM, for ST2 co-cultures, or Opti-MEM (Gibco) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 units/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin, 50 ng/mL murine IL-7 (PeproTech), 50 ng/mL human FLT3-ligand (produced in-house) and 25 ng/mL murine stem cell factor (produced in-house) for OP9 co-cultures, at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere containing 10% CO2 in the air. After 14 or 18 days in culture, for ST2 or OP9 co-cultures, respectively, wells were inspected under an inverted microscope, and wells containing colonies of more than 50 cells were scored as positive.

In vitro cultures of lineage marker-negative c-kit-positive fetal liver (FL) cells with stromal cells were described previously (Hozumi et al., 2003 (link); Abe et al., 2010 (link)). Briefly, lineage markers- (Lin; TER119, CD19, Mac-1, Gr-1) negative, c-kit-positive cells were isolated from E15.5 embryos and plated at 1 × 104 cells on a monolayer of OP9 for T cell induction into CD25+ DN3 stage with serial expression of Dll for 7 days in the presence of 5 ng/ml murine IL7 (Peprotech, London, UK) and 5 ng/ml human Flt3L (Peprotech) in 24-well culture dishes or 5 × 102 cells on OP9 expressing Dll or its swapping mutants for T cell induction into DP stage for 13 days in the presence of 1 ng/ml IL7 and 5 ng/ml Flt3L. After cultures, growing cells were collected and analyzed for surface markers for 7 days (Lineage markers: Gr1, CD11b, CD11c, DX5 and ST2; CD45, Thy1.2, CD19, CD44 and CD25) or 13 days (CD45, CD19, Thy1.2, CD4 and CD8) cultures by flow cytometry. OP9 cell line was obtained from Dr. Yokoyama who published the report using this cell line (Yokoyama et al., 2013 (link)). We have confirmed the micoplasma-free status before the experiments.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
OP9-GFP cells (12 (link)) were maintained
in MEMα (ThermoFischer) with 20% HI-FBS (Hyclone), glutamine,
β-mercaptoethanol, and penicillin/streptomycin. 1E4 sorted preproB cells
were added to 80–90% confluent OP9-GFP cells in 35 mm dishes in IMDM with
10% HI-FBS, 5 ng/ml murine FL, 1 ng/ml murine IL-7 (Peprotech), and
penicillin/streptomycin. Formation of mature myeloid and B lymphoid cells was
assessed using anti-CD11b-PE and anti-CD19-PerCP-Cy5.5 (1D3), and B cell
precursors were evaluated as done for marrow cells, in both cases gating on the
GFP- population. Splenocytes were subjected to red blood cell
lysis and CD43-negative selection (Miltenyi). CD43- cells were
cultured in RPMI with 15% HI-FBS, β-mercaptoethanol,
penicillin/streptomycin, and 20 ng/ml murine IL-4 (Peprotech) with either 10
μg/ml anti-murine CD40 (1C10, Biolegend) antibody or 25 μg/ml
E. coli O55:B5 LPS (Sigma), followed by analysis on day 4
using anti-B220-APC with anti-IgE-PE (RME-1, Biolegend) and anti-IgG1-BV421
(RMG1–1, Biolegend) or anti-IgG2b-PE (RMG2b-1, Biolegend). Serum obtained
by lancing the facial vein was analyzed for IgM, IgG, and IgA after 1:10,000
dilution using ELISA kits per the manufacturer’s instructions
(Invitrogen).

Cells of spleens, DLNs, and grafts from CTLA4-Fc/MR1–treated DEREG recipients day 100 after transplantation and naive mice were stimulated with murine IL-7 (PeproTech) or recombinant human IL-2 (Novartis) at a final concentration of 5 ng/mL or 320 ng/mL, respectively, for 5 minutes at 37°C in a water bath, then incubated for 25 minutes at 37°C with 5% CO2. PBS was used as control on spleen and DLN samples. After stimulation, cells were fixed with CytoFix (BD) and permeabilized with Phosflow Perm Buffer III (BD) before staining with CD4, CD127, and STAT5 antibodies. Flow cytometry analysis was performed on BD FACSymphony.

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.
