Five chickens were randomly selected from each group 14 d after immunization. Their spleens were removed under aseptic conditions, then rinsed 3 times with sterile PBS and placed in a flat dish. They were cut up, ground down and filtered by a tissue sieve to produce a ground spleen suspension. The suspension was slowly added to the upper layer of the lymphocyte separation solution (Solarbio, Beijing, China) at a ratio of 1:1 and centrifuged for 20 min at 3,000 rpm. After centrifugation, the white misty spleen lymphocytes at the interface were carefully aspirated, rinsed twice with PBS and centrifuged for 15 min at 2,500 rpm (Hou et al., 2010 ; Chimeno Zoth et al., 2012 (link)).
On the 14th d after immunization, 2 mL of blood was taken under sterile conditions and anticoagulated with heparin (Solarbio, Beijing, China), diluted 1:1 with PBS and then carefully added this diluted blood to the upper layer of the lymphocyte separation solution (Solarbio, Beijing, China) at a ratio of 1:1 and centrifuged at 2,500 rpm/min for 20 min. Afterward, the peripheral blood lymphocytes at the middle boundary were harvested, washed twice with PBS and centrifuged at 1,500 rpm for 15 min (Lam and Vasconcelos, 1994 (link); Gu et al., 2020 ).

Tonsil tissues from the IgAN group and CT group were soaked in PBS for 15 min, fully ground, and filtered through a 200 mesh sieve, then the filtrate was collected. Slowly, an equal volume of lymphocyte separation solution was added (Solarbio Technology Co. Beijing, China) and centrifuged at 1,500 rpm for 20 min to retain the middle mononuclear cell layer, and then inactivated 2% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Gibco, Invitrogen) was added. After washing with PBS three times, the cells were resuspended and centrifuged at 1,500 rpm for 5 min. Finally, the tonsil mononuclear cells (TMCs) were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium with 10% FBS, L-glutamine (2 mmol/L), penicillin (100 μg/ml), streptomycin (100 μg/ml) at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2. For miR-630 mimic transfection, TransIT-TKO transfection reagent was used and transfected according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, 25 nM of miR-630 mimic with FAM-labeled (GenePharma, Shanghai, China), 4 µl of TransIT-TKO transfection reagent and 50 µl of Opti-MEM Reduced Medium (Invitrogen, USA) was incubated for 20 min and then mixed with the TMCs derived from one IgAN patient per well. A miRNA negative control was also transfected at the same time. The TMCs were incubated for 48–72 h at 37°C in 5% CO2 and used for total RNA and protein extraction.

Isolation and Purification of CD19+ B Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The peripheral blood of patients in the HC and OS groups was collected, lymphocyte separation solution (Solarbio, USA) was added, and single-cell suspension was collected after 30 min at 4°C 900 r/min. A CD19 antibody was used to label B cells. Every 107 cells were resuspended with 90 μl of MACS buffer, added with 10 μl of anti-CD19 microbeads after mixing, mixed well by tapping the bottom of the tube, and incubated at 4°C for 15 min in the dark. 1 ml buffer was added to rinse the cells and centrifuged at 300 g for 10 min, and the supernatant was discarded before adding 1 ml buffer to resuspend the cells. The MidiMACS sorter was used to sort and collect CD19+ B cells.

Isolation of BM-Derived Mononuclear Cells

Fresh heparinized BM samples were diluted with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) in a 1:1 proportion. The same volume of lymphocyte separation solution (Solarbio, China) as the mixture was added to the centrifuge tube. The diluted BM samples were carefully layered on lymphocyte separation solution and centrifuged at 400g for 20min. A clean pipette was used to transfer the lymphocyte layer to a clean centrifuge tube and then further washed with PBS. The supernatant was discarded. Red blood cell (RBC) lysis solution (Solarbio, China) was added into the tube and incubated for 8 min away from light, centrifuged, and washed with PBS again. We obtained BMMNCs for follow-up experiments.

Adoptive Transfer of Lymph Nodes in Irradiated Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Axillary and inguinal lymph nodes (LNs) were collected from C57BL/6 donors and then ground into homogenates, washed, centrifuged, and filtered. Their cell number was counted and adjusted to 107/100 μL.
The mice were divided into three groups: a normal control group (NC, n = 10), a TBI group (n = 10), and an AA model group (n = 17). The NC group contained CB6F1 mice. The TBI mice were given 4 Gy TBI using a cesium-137 gamma source. The AA model mice were also preirradiated with 4 Gy TBI using the same cesium-137 gamma source. After 4–6 h, diluted LN cells were injected through the retroorbital sinus into the recipient AA group mice (CB6F1) at 10 × 106 cells/recipient in a 100 μL lymphocyte separation solution (Solarbio, Beijing, China).

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.
