Human neuroblastoma cell lines (NGP, SH-SY5Y, IMR-32, CHLA-255) and mouse NB cell line, NB975 were routinely maintained and cultured as described previously (11 (link)). For the in vitro assays performed in the present study, cells were cultured routinely and then partially starved for at least 16-24 hours by culturing in medium supplemented with 1% FBS unless otherwise stated, before treating with drugs or cytokine. Primary antibodies anti-CD114-PE (554538), anti-CD56-APC (555518), anti-CD24-FITC (553261) and fluorochrome, isotype-matching mAbs for negative controls were purchased from BD Biosciences. DAPI (4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, Invitrogen, D3571) staining was used to exclude dead cells in all flow cytometry analysis. LSRII 5-laser flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) was used to perform flow cytometry experiments followed by analysis using FlowJo vX.0.7 (TreeStar). All flow cytometry assays were performed with antibody isotype controls. Stattic (S7947), etoposide (VP-16, E1383) from Sigma-Aldrich and recombinant human G-CSF (BP000175-GD16) was purchased from Syd Labs, Natick, MA. Anti-G-CSF antibody (MAB414) and matching isotype antibody control (MAB005) was purchased from R&D systems, Minneapolis, MN.

Placental Macrophage Death Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Placental macrophages were plated, rested, and exposed to glucose or the metabolic stress components as they were for cytokine analysis above. Treatments were performed for 4 or 24 h before cells were harvested for flow cytometric analysis. Cellular death was assayed by dual-staining with annexin V-AF 488 and propidium iodide (PI) following manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, some PMs were stained with anti-human CD68 to assess purity before being stained with the annexin/PI staining kit. Paraformaldehyde-fixed placental macrophages were acquired immediately after staining on an LSRII 5-laser flow cytometer (BD Biosciences). Living cells were defined as PI-/annexin-; necrotic cells were defined as PI+/annexin-; early apoptotic cells were defined as PI-/annexin+; and late apoptotic or pyroptotic cells were defined as PI+/annexin+. Data files were analyzed using BD Diva (BD Biosciences).

NKT-cell Phenotyping and Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NKT-cell phenotype was assessed using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for CD3 (UCHT1), Vα24-Jα18 (6B11), CD4 (RPA-T4), granzyme B (GB11), CD62L (DREG-56; BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA), Vβ11 (C21; Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA), and IL-21R (17A12; BioLegend, ‎San Diego, CA and BD Biosciences). CD19-CAR expression by transduced NKTs was detected using anti-Id mAb (clone 136.20.1) (25 (link)), a gift from Dr. B. Jena (MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX). Intracellular staining was performed using a fixation/permeabilization solution kit (BD Biosciences) with mAbs for Bcl2 (N46–467; BD Biosciences) and BIM (Y36; Abcam, Cambridge, MA) followed by staining with a secondary goat anti-rabbit IgG-AF488 mAb (Abcam). Phosflow staining was performed using Cytofix buffer (BD Biosciences) and Perm buffer III (BD Biosciences) with mAb for Stat3 (pY705; Clone 4; BD Biosciences). Detection of Stat3 phosphorylation was performed after 15 minutes of treatment with IL-21. Fluorochrome- and isotype-matching antibodies suggested by BD Biosciences or R&D Systems were used as negative controls. Analysis was performed on an LSR-II 5-laser flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) using BD FACSDiva software version 6.0 and FlowJo 10.1 (Tree Star, Ashland, OR).

Cytokine Responses in Infant Immunity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole blood cytokine levels and intracellular cytokine staining were conducted on heparinized blood drawn from 10-week old South African infants. 10 milliliters of blood were taken and used both for the cytokine assays and genotyping. Samples were stimulated ex-vivo with media or BCG (strain SSI, 1.2 x 106 CFU’s/ml) for 7 hours at 37°C. For whole-blood assays, IL-2 and IFN- γ were measured by multiplex bead array technology according to manufacturer’s instructions (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) and read on a Luminex luminometer (Luminex, Austin, TX, USA). Basal cytokine levels measured in plasma harvested from unstimulated blood were subtracted from values obtained from BCG-stimulated blood [11 (link)].
For intracellular cytokine staining, Brefeldin A was added to the above samples and cells were incubated for 5 additional hours. Samples were frozen in 40% RPMI and 40% DMSO with 10% FCS and thawed prior to the time of data analysis. Flow cytometry was performed at the University of Washington Flow Cytometry Core Facility on an LSRII 5-laser flow cytometer (Becton Dickenson, Inc) using antibodies against cell surface markers including: anti-CD3 ECD (Beckman Coulter, UCHT1), anti-CD4 APC-Alexa Fluor 750 (Beckman Coulter, 13B8.2), and anti-CD8 PerCP Cy5.5 (BD, SK1). Antibodies against cytokines included anti-IL-2 PE (BD, MQ1-17H12) and anti-IFN-γ (BD, B27) [33 (link)].

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.
