Cells were embedded in a 3D matrix constituted of collagen type I (1.5 mg/ml, Corning®) in EMEM (Eagle’s Minimal Essential Medium; 2 ×, Lonza®) at a concentration of 1,5 × 105 cells/ml. Drops (30 μl) were placed for 1 hour upside down at 37 °C to allow solidification of the matrix. The complete medium was then added and hs2dAb expression was induced by doxycycline. 6 hours later, cell morphology was observed under a Nikon inverted microscope and drops were harvested, collagenase I (100 U/mL final concentration, ThermoFisher®) added and cells centrifuged. Pelleted cells were then lysed in RIPA buffer containing phosphatase and protease inhibitors.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BRSV infectivity was tested in ten swabs showing the highest level of viral RNA by RT-ddPCR; eight swabs from coats and two from human nostrils, collected 24 h and 30 min after exposure, respectively. Fetal bovine turbinate cells (courtesy of Swedish Veterinary Institute) propagated in Eagle’s minimal essential medium (BioWhittaker, Belgium) in 96 well plates were incubated with 50 μl filtered swab samples for 30 min. Medium with 2% FCS was added, the plates were incubated at 37 °C in 5% CO2 and the supernatant passaged after seven days. Samples were cultivated in duplicates with positive (cultivated BRSV from a calf in the experiment) and negative controls (cells only). The cells were observed for cytopathic effect (CPE) and infection visualized by direct immunofluorescence test using FITC Moab a-BRSV (Bio-X Diagnostics, Rochefort, Belgium). Culture supernatants were harvested and tested by the BRSV RT-ddPCR as described.

PMKs were obtained from HoipE-KO newborn pups, Tnfr1KO;HoipE-KO and Tnfr1KO;Hoil-1E-KO adult tails according to established protocols64 (link). Briefly, skin was incubated with 0.25% Trypsin in Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution without calcium and magnesium (Stratech Scientific Ltd) overnight at 4 °C. On the following day, the dermis and epidermis were separated. Cell suspensions were cultured in Eagle’s minimal essential medium (Lonza) without calcium with 8% chelate foetal calf serum and penicillin–streptomycin (Sigma). PMKs were seeded in plates pre-coated with collagen I (Life technologies) for subsequent experiments. PMKs were cultured in medium supplemented with 20 µM Z-VAD-fmk (Abcam), 10 µM Necrostatin-1s (Cambridge Bioscience), 1 µM RIPK3 inhibitor (GSK2399872B) or 50 µg mL−1 Etanercept (Enbrel®) (Pfizer and Pentaglobin from Biotest) for 4 days, with supplemented medium replaced every day. On the last day, cell viability was measured using the CellTiter-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability Assay Kit (Promega) following the manufacturer’s instructions. Alternatively, PMKs were treated for 24 h with the following ligands as indicated: 50 ng mL−1 mouse iz-TRAIL, 50 ng mL−1 CD95L-Fc, or 100 µg mL−1 Poly(I:C) (Invitrogen).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Clinical specimens were used to inoculate African green monkey kidney Vero cells (Vero cell, ATCC, CCL-81) for virus isolation. Vero cells were cultured in Eagle's minimal essential medium (Lonza) with 8% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Gibco) and antibiotics. The infection of Vero cells with each specimen was carried out in phosphate-buffered saline containing 50 μg/mL DEAE dextran and 2% FBS as previously described [13 (link)]. Cells were monitored daily for 4 days to examine the cytopathic effects. To confirm virus isolation, we performed RT-PCR on supernatants from infected cell cultures using S gene-specific primer sets (forward (5′-3′): AGGGCAAACTGGAAAGATTGCTGA, reverse (5′-3′): TCTGTG CAGTTAACATCCTGATAAAGAAC). Thermal cycling was performed using the following conditions: initial denaturation at 95°C for 3 min and then 35 cycles of 95°C for 30 s, 56°C for 30 s and elongation at 72°C for 40 s, and final elongation step at 72°C for 5 min. All PCR products regardless of whether ferret or human clinical specimens were sequenced and compared with the SARS-CoV-2 reference genome (GISAID accession ID: EPI_ISL_407193). All sequenced-confirmed specimens were considered positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection and used for further study.

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.
