Inactivated GAS Immune Response Study

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Heat-killed GAS were prepared by placing bacteria at 65–75°C for 5–10 min; absence of CFU growth was confirmed by plating aliquots on THA. The multiplicity of infection (MOI) of GAS-to-cultured cells (immune and non-immune cells) was 1:1 unless specified. Peritoneal exudate cells (PEC, ~30% macrophages and ~40% B cells), F244 fibrosarcoma, and HEK293 cells were cultured in RPMI containing 10% FBS with penicillin and streptomycin and switched to 2% FBS without antibiotics the day before the experiment. PECs were collected by lavage using 2.5mL PBS or FACS buffer per peritoneum. Cell culture plates were spun at 1500 rpm for 5 min to facilitate contact between GAS and cultured cells. Cells were pre-treated for 1 h with either N-Acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) or ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) at a concentration of 0.6 μM and 0.4 μM respectively (Sigma). Final concentration of peptidoglycan was prepared as 1μg/mL (Invivogen).

Mouse glomerular mesangial cells SV40-MES-13 were purchased from ATCC and cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM, Gibco) in low glucose (5.5 mM of glucose) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Gibco) with 1% antibiotics (100 IU/ml penicillin-streptomycin), and then grown at 37°C with an atmosphere of 5% CO2. Next, cells were treated with SA (10, 20, and 30 μM) dissolved in 0.1% dimethyl sulfoxide for 1 h before high glucose (30 mM, Sigma) treatment. After 24 h of culture, the supernatant and cells were collected for further analysis. To further explore the mechanism, mesangial cells were pretreated with ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC, 50 μM, Sigma), a NF-κB inhibitor, along with SA prior to stimulating with HG for 24 h.

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.
