DC2.4WT or DC2.4Dab2/ cells (105) were incubated for 1 h with or without 10 μM cytochalasin D (Sigma Aldrich) in complete media. pHrodo Red E. coli Bioparticles Conjugate for Phagocytosis were added to cells according to the manufacturer instructions (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) and incubated for an additional 1 h at 37°C. Phagocytosis was also assessed in DC2.4WT or DC2.4Dab2/ cells after incubation of 105 cells with IgG-coated FluoSpheres carboxylate (2.0 μm, red 580/605) (Life Technologies) at 1:25 ratio for 1 h in complete DMEM. Cells were washed with PBS prior to acquisition using an LSRII Fortessa (BD Biosciences). The data was analyzed for the median fluorescence intensity (MFI) and the percentage of phagocytic cells using FlowJo (Tree Star).

Quantifying Phagocytosis via Bioparticle Uptake

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Uptake of bioparticles (pHrodo Red E. coli Bioparticles Conjugate for Phagocytosis; Molecular Probes; Eugene, OR) was used to quantify phagocytosis in vitro by the appearance of fluorescence when the bioparticle is incorporated into the acidic environment of the phagolysosome. Cells (1 X 105 /well) were incubated (37°C, 5% CO2) in a 96 well plate for an hour. Adherent cells were washed with PBS, and exposed to 200 μl of either fibrocyte medium or bioparticles prepared per manufacturer’s instructions in fibrocyte media. After two hours of incubation, cells were washed with PBS, fixed and assessed for bioparticle expression by flow cytometry. For a negative control, cytochalasin D (5 μg/mL, Sigma Aldrich) was added to fibrocyte media for 45 minutes which temporarily binds actin filaments to inhibit phagocytosis.

Phagocytic Activity Quantification in Flies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Phagocytic activity was assessed by measuring fluorescence following the injection of pHrodo Red E. coli BioParticles Conjugate for Phagocytosis (Molecular Probes). A 4 mg/mL suspension of pHrodo particles was diluted 1:4 in ES products such that each co-injection contained 310 larval equivalents in a 1 mg/mL solution of pHrodo particles. Upon injection, flies were incubated at 25°C for 1 h at which time the dorsal side of the abdomen associated with the pericardial nephrocytes was imaged using a Nikon ECLIPSE Ni microscope at 10x magnification with a Zyla (ANDOR) 5.5 camera. Corrected total fluorescence was measured using ImageJ software.

Quantifying Phagocytosis of E. coli Bioparticles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
pHrodo Red E.coli BioParticles conjugate for Phagocytosis were purchased from ThermoFisher, USA and reconstituted to 1 mg/ml in 10% FBS-containing media. Reconstituted Bioparticles were added at a final concentration of 0.1 mg/ml to IDUA-HSPC-derived macrophages and incubated at 37 °C for 1 h. The cells were then washed and bathed in imaging media (DMEM Fluorobright, 15 mM HEPES, 5% FBS). Imaging followed using the appropriate absorption and fluorescence emission maxima (560 and 585 nm, respectively) with a BZ-X710 Keyence fluorescence microscope. Images were quantified using ImageJ 1.51.

The cells were treated in the same manner as for the polarisation assay, but this time 10.000 THP-1 were seeded in 24-well plates. On day 5, the medium was replaced with HBSS medium supplemented with 2% FBS and 50 ug of pHrodo™ Red E. coli BioParticles™ Conjugate for Phagocytosis (Thermo Fisher) was added to each well. Fluorescence intensity was measured for 4 h taking pictures every 5 min with an Eclipse TE2000 Inverted Microscope (Nikon).

Phagocytic Activity of BV2 Microglia

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Phagocytic activity of BV2 microglia was detected using engulfment of pHrodo Red E. coli BioParticles™ Conjugate for Phagocytosis (ThermoFisher Scientific, #P35361). Cells were treated in last hour of incubation with 1:1000 dilution of pHrodo red E. coli BioParticles™. Cells were washed with FACS buffer and resuspended in 1% PFA for 1 hour at room temperature. The cells were washed twice in FACS buffer and run on the CytoFLEX Flow Cytometer. Flow cytometry data was analysed using gating for cell size, granularity, singlet cell population, and phycoerythrin (PE) red-channel signal to detect cells with bead engulfment. FlowJo was used to assess the percent of phagocytic positive cells gated on the no stain in the PE channel and the median fluorescent intensity (MFI) of the positive population.

Whole blood from healthy donors and patients was treated according to the
respective protocol, as shown below (phagocytosis experiments). Here,
the second hit was not performed with purified LPS, but with
fluorescently labelled E. coli cells. After
pre-treatment with LPS (first hit), the isolated PBMCs from healthy
donors were harvested, washed and incubated with non-opsonised
FITC-labelled E. coli (second hit). Whole blood from
patients was incubated directly with non-opsonised FITC-labelled
E. coli cells (PHAGOTEST®; ORPEGEN Pharma,
Heidelberg, Germany) or with endocytosis/acidification-sensitive
pHrodo-conjugated E. coli bioparticles (pHrodo™ Red
E. coli BioParticles™ Conjugate for
Phagocytosis; Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA).29 (link) The percentage of phagocytic monocytes and phagocytic activity
per cell were analysed by flow cytometry as recommended by the
manufacturer.

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.
