Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Term human FM explants were collected as described above, rested in DMEM/F12 media supplemented with 10% FBS overnight and then treated with neutrophil CM for 24 hrs. In some experiments, FMs were pre-treated with the ERK inhibitor, SCH772984 (10nM, Selleckchem, Houston, TX); or the TLR9 antagonist, ODN2088 (TTAGGG, 1μM, Invivogen, A151, San Diego, CA) for 1 hr at 37°C prior to the addition of neutrophil CM. In other cases, DNase I derived from bovine pancreas (1U/ml, Roche, #10104159001, Roche, Switizerland) was added to neutrophil CM for 30 min at room temperature then the CM incubated at 70°C for 20 min and cooled prior to adding to the FMs. Neutrophil CM was incubated at 70°C for 20 min without DNase I as the baseline control. Incubation of activated neutrophil CM at 70°C for 20 min without DNase I did not affect its ability to alter FM function. After 24 hr of co-culture, the neutrophil CM and any associated factors was removed and FMs were transferred to a serum-free OptiMEM culture system for an additional 24 hrs to collect freshly secreted FM-derived factors for downstream analysis. FM supernatants and tissues are collected and stored at −80°C until analysis.

Toll-like Receptor 9 Modulation in Embryo

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Previous studies tested various oligonucleotides (ODNs) for their stimulatory or inhibitory activities for Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9; Krieg et al., 1995 (link); Stunz et al., 2002 (link)). Based on the finding that ODN 2088 is one of the most effective inhibitors, we applied it in our experiments as TLR9 antagonist. The ODN 2088 (5'-TCC TGG CGG GGA AGT-3') was purchased from Invivogen. The drug was suspended in endotoxin-free water and dissolved in plasmid DNA solution at a mass ratio of plasmid DNA/ODN 2088 1:1. Plasmid DNA and ODN 2088 were injected into the lateral ventricles of E12 embryos. After 2 d (E14), the brains were perfused with 4% PFA and subjected to immunohistochemistry.

Exosome-induced PBMC Cytokine Response

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from heparinzed peripheral venous blood of HCs by density gradient centrifugation using Ficoll-paque plus gradient (GE Healthcare Biosciences, Uppsala, Sweden). Cell viability was assessed with trypan blue dye exclusion. PBMCs (5 × 106 cells/mL) were stimulated with 10 μL purified exosomes in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 μL/mL streptomycin for 24 h at 37 °C in a 5 % CO2 incubator.
To investigate the involvement of TLRs, PBMCs were pretreated with TLR1/2 antagonist (CU-CPT22; Calbiochem, MA, USA), TLR4 antagonist (LPS-RS ultrapure; Invivogen, CA, USA), TLR7 antagonist (ODN20958; Invivogen, CA, USA), or TLR9 antagonist (ODN2088; Invivogen, CA, USA) for 1 h. Then the cells were incubated with exosomes for 24 h. Following stimulation, levels of IFN-α, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in the supernatants were measured using ELISA according to the manufacturers’ instructions (IFN-α, PBL Assay Science, NJ, USA; TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, BD Biosciences, CA, USA).

Pristane-Induced Hybridoma Characterization and Antibody Purification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The hybridoma clones PL2-3 (anti-chromatin IgG2aa), PL2-8 (anti-chromatin IgG2b), Hy1.2 (anti-TNP IgG2aa) and C4010 (anti-TNP IgG2ab) have been previously described (9 (link)). Two months old mice were first injected i.p. with 250 ul of pristane (Sigma) on d0 and d7, then with 107 hybridoma cells on d10, and sacrificed on d17. For TLR9 inhibition studies, 100 ug of the TLR9 inhibitor ODN 2088 (Invivogen) was co-injected with the hybridoma cells. This dose of TLR9 inhibitor was sufficient to suppress a humoral immune response for up to 4 weeks (29 (link)). Other mice were immunized i.p. with 1 mg/ml of purified PL2-3 Ab on d10, d12, and d15 following pristane injection and sacrificed on d18. To obtain purified PL2-3 Ab, BALB/c.Rag2−/− mice were injected with 200 ul pristane and 107 hybridoma cells 5 d later. The mice were euthanized when their body weight had increased by 15 %. Ascitic fluid was spun down and the supernatant was filtered using a 0.45 μm SFCA syringe filter (Corning). Purified PL2-3 antibody was quantified in Immulon 2 plates coated with 5 ug/ml rat anti-mouse IgG2a (BD Pharmingen). Both samples and mouse IgG2a standard (Southern Biotech) were serially diluted threefold and goat anti-mouse IgG2a-AP (Southern Biotech) was used as the secondary Ab.

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.
