Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The NOTCH1-induced T-ALL model was established as previously decribed.17 (link) Briefly, bone marrow cells were isolated from 8-week-old donor mice. Lineage negative (Lin-) cells were enriched using a Lineage Cell Depletion Kit (Miltenyi Biotec), and pre-stimulated for 24 h in Dulbecco modified Eagle medium (Gibco) containing 20% fetal bovine serum (Gibco), 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Hyclone), 20 ng/mL murine FLT3-L, 20 ng/mL murine thrombopoietin and 100 ng/mL murine stem cell factor (PeproTech). Cells were then transduced with MigR1-ICN1 retroviruses and centrifuged in the presence of 6 Dg/mL polybrene. A second round of transduction was carried out on the next day. One million cells were then transplanted into sub-lethally (5.5 Gy) irradiated 8-week-old C57BL/6 female mice by tail vein injection.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
T-ALL was generated in mice as previously described (Herranz et al., 2015 ), with minor modifications. In brief, lineage negative hematopoietic cells were isolated from murine bone marrow using Miltenyi Lineage Cell Depletion Kit (130-090-858). Isolated cells were cultured for 16 hrs in X-VIVO 15 media (Lonza 04-418Q) with 100 ng/mL murine stem cell factor (Peprotech 250-03), 10 ng/mL murine IL3 (Peprotech 213-13), 10 ng/mL human IL6 (Peprotech 200-06) and 50 ng/mL FLT3-ligand (Peprotech 250-31L). Cells were then treated with freshly made MSCV-ICN1-IRES-GFP or MSCV-ICN1-IRES-NGFR or vector control virus along with 8 μg/mL polybrene on retronectin coated plates and centrifuged for 45 min at 1200 rpm. Cells were rested for 2 hr and plated with fresh media with cytokine supplements for 24 hrs. Spinfection protocol was repeated 24 hrs later. 48 hrs after final spinfection, 5 × 104 transduced cells (identified by GFP or NGFR) along with 2 × 105 bone marrow cells for hemogenic support were injected via tail vein into lethally irradiated (9.0 Gy split into two fractionated doses 4 hrs apart) syngeneic mice. Secondary recipient mice were irradiated with 4.5 Gy and received 2 × 105 T-ALL cells via tail vein.

CD45.1 iPSCs were maintained in pluripotent state as described previously (Ackermann et al., 2014 (link)). Differentiation was performed after passaging the cells for 2 days in feeder-free conditions on a gelatin-treated plate in an IMDM medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific) containing 10% fetal calf serum (FCS; Millipore), 1 mM penicillin-streptomycin, 150 μM monothioglycerol, and 103 U/mL leukemia inhibitory factor (pre-culture medium). For embryoid body formation, single cells were seeded at a density of 10,000 cells/mL in differentiation medium I: IMDM medium with 15% pre-tested FCS (ES-Cult FBS, STEMCELL Technologies), 1 mM penicillin-streptomycin, 1 mM L-glutamine, 50 ng/mL ascorbic acid (Sigma-Aldrich), and 150 mM monothioglycerol (Sigma-Aldrich). After 5 days, the medium was supplemented with 10 ng/mL murine interleukin-3 and 30 ng/mL murine stem cell factor (PeproTech) (Mucci et al., 2016 (link), Pfaff et al., 2012 (link)). After 7 days, the embryoid bodies were dissociated into single cells using collagenase IV (250 U/mL, Life Technologies) and transferred into a suspension-culture plate with differentiation medium II: RPMI medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific) supplemented with 10% FCS, 1 mM L-glutamine, 1 mM penicillin-streptomycin, and 30% supernatant of L929 producer cells (Ladner et al., 1988 (link)) as a source of M-CSF.

Cells were cultured in a 37°C incubator with 5% CO2 for 36–48 hours and then subjected to either RNA extraction or re-plating in methylcellulose (MethoCult 3434, Stem Cell Technologies).

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.
