GM-CSF–mediated upregulation of LPS-induced production of IL-6 by U937 cells was used to test for the neutralizing activity of sera containing high-titer blocking antibodies to GM-CSF.
Anti–GM-CSF–positive sera, negative control sera, or FBS were preincubated for 30 minutes in a 96-well plate without stimulus or in the presence of GM-CSF (100 ng/mL; ImmunoTools, Friesoythe, Germany), IFN-γ (2 × 104 IU/mL; Immukin; Boehringer Ingelheim, Ingelheim am Rhein, Germany), or LPS (1 µg/mL, BioLabs) alone or in combination as indicated at a dilution of 1:5 in complete Dulbecco modified Eagle medium (Gibco, Carlsbad, Calif). U937 cells (ATCC CRL1593.2) were added at 1 × 105 cells per well and incubated for 24 hours (37°C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere).
Supernatants were obtained, and IL-6 levels were measured with a Luminex analyzer (R&D Systems Fluorokinemap and Bio-Plex, Bio-Rad Laboratories), according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Trophoblastic Cell Responses to Inflammatory Stimuli

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Trophoblastic cell lines (4 × 105 HTR-8/SVneo and JEG-3 per well) were seeded in 6-well culture plates and allowed to attach overnight. Cells were stimulated with 100 ng/mL LPS, 25 μg/mL poly I:C (both from Sigma-Aldrich) or medium alone as control for 6, 12 and 24 h. Based on the results from cell lines, PTC were incubated for 12 h with the same concentrations of LPS and poly I:C.
For the assessment of angiogenic factors and miRNAs, 2 × 105 HTR-8/SVneo, PTC or HUVEC cells were cultured in 12-well plates and then treated for 24 h with 20 or 50 ng/mL of IL-36 (α, β, or γ; ImmunoTools GmbH, Friesoythe, Germany).
After stimulation, cells were harvested for RNA isolation or Western blotting.

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.
