Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The intracellular pluripotent marker OCT4 for iPSCs was characterized via flow cytometry (FCM) using True-NuclearTM Transcription Factor Buffer Set (424401, Biolegend, San Diego, CA, USA). Cells were detached and digested into a single-cell suspension using trypsin. The cells were centrifuged and precipitated in a 15 mL tube. Then, they were fixed with True-NuclearTM 1× for 45 min at room temperature in the dark. We next added 2 mL buffer of True-NuclearTM 1×Perm to the tube, centrifuged the tubes, and discarded the supernatant. Next, we added 100 μL True-NuclearTM 1×Perm buffer and 5 μL PE anti-OCT4 (OCT3) antibody (653703, Biolegend) or the 0.625 μL PE Mouse IgG 2b isotype control (400313, Biolegend) to the samples, which were then incubated at room temperature for 30 min. Cell labeling was analyzed in a staining solution using NovoCyte Quanteon (https://www.agilent.com/en/product/research-flow-cytometry/flow-cytometers/flow-cytometer-systems/novocyte-quanteon-flow-cytometer-systems-4-lasers-984692, 3 January 2024, Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA), and data were analyzed using NovoExpress software (Agilent, America, version 1.6.2).

At 72 h, the cells were collected, counted, and resuspended at 2 × 106 cells/mL in fresh media with fresh cytokines and plated in u-bottom 96-well plates in triplicates at 2 × 105 cells/well. The cells were immediately transfected with 600 ng Capstan CD5/LNP-mCherry for 1 h and washed with 1x PBS twice to remove excess tLNP and minimize nonspecific uptake. The transfected cells were then incubated as before for a further 23 h, for a total of 24 h posttransfection.
At 24 h posttransfection, the cells were washed and stained with a viability dye (Zombie Aqua, BioLegend) and labeled with anti-CD3 (pan-T cell marker, BioLegend), anti-CD4 (BD Biosciences), and anti-CD8 (BioLegend) antibodies. The labeled cells were then analyzed on a flow cytometer (Agilent NovoCyte Quanteon, running NovoExpress version 1.6). The data were then analyzed using FlowJo version 10.8.1, and a gating strategy was established to exclude dead cells using the viability dye, followed by gating on CD3+ cells (pan-T cell), and further gating on the two T cell subpopulations CD4+ and CD8+ cells. Last, the expression of mCherry was recorded as a percentage of cells expressing the protein on the gated CD4+ cells and CD8+ cells for each cell culture condition.

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.
