Cell Line Maintenance and T-Cell Culture

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
293T (HEK 293 T/17), Raji, Daudi, and THP-1 cell lines were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection. Cell lines were maintained in DMEM (Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) and 2 mM GlutaMAX™ (Invitrogen) at 37 °C and 5% CO2. T cells generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were cultured in 45% RPMI 1640, 45% Click’s media (Invitrogen) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 2 mM GlutaMAX (T-cell media, TCM), and 100 U/ml IL-2 (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany), unless otherwise noted. Clinical-grade rimiducid (5 mg/ml in 25% Kolliphor HS15®) was diluted in ethanol to a 100 mM working solution for in vitro assays, or 0.9% saline for animal studies.

Myelination of Rat and Mouse DRGs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DRGs were excised from E14 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat or E12 mouse embryos. The entire ganglia were plated on 24 well plates coated with poly-L lysine (PLL) (Sigma Aldrich) and cultrex mouse laminin I (R&D systems), and cultured with MACS R Neuro Medium (Miltenyi Biotec) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Sigma Aldrich), 1:200 Glutamax (Thermo Fischer Scientific), 50 U/ml Penicillin/Streptomycin (Thermo Fischer Scientific) and 100ng/ml 2.5S nerve growth factor (NGF) (COSMO BIO). Sixteen hours later, the medium was changed to MACS R Neuro Medium supplemented with 1% MACSR NeuroBrewR-B21 (Miltenyi Biotec), 1:200 Glutamax, 50 U/ml Penicillin/Streptomycin and 100 ng/ml 2.5S NGF. At day 5, the medium was replaced DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS, 1:200 Glutamax, 50 U/ml Penicillin/Streptomycin and 100 ng/ml 2.5S NGF, and thereafter half of the medium was changed every other day. On day14, 50 μg/ml of L-ascorbic acid (Sigma Aldrich) was added to the medium to initiate myelination. For EM analysis, DRGs were cultured on Cell Disk LF (Sumitomo Bakelite Co.) coated PLL and cultrex mouse laminin I.

Monocyte-Derived Macrophage Isolation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human PBMCs were isolated from a single blood transfusion donor, using Ficoll-Hypaque density centrifugation of leukocytes from a leukoreduction system chamber (NHS blood transfusion service). Subsequently, lymphocytes and monocytes were separated in a JE6 elutriator (Beckman Coulter), and monocytes were differentiated into macrophages on glass coverslips (SLS) in 5 days, using RPMI 1640 medium containing 100 ng/mL human MCSF (Miltenyi Biotec), next to 10% heat-inactivated FCS, 4 mmol/L Glutamax, 5 mmol/L sodium pyruvate, and antibiotics (Gibco, Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Expanded NK Cell Cytokine Secretion

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
FACS Aria-sorted NK cells from the spleen (Lin neg, 7AAD neg , CD49a neg , NKp46 + , NK1.1 + , CD49b + ) of the indicated mouse genotypes, were expanded for up to 10 days in complete RPMI 1640 containing 10% FBS, 1 µg/ml of anti-TGF-b1,2,3 blocking antibody (clone 1D11.16.8 from Bio X Cell, West Lebanon, NH), b-Me, GlutaMax and sodium pyruvate (Gibco). For cytokine secretion assays, cells were stimulated in the indicated concentrations of rTGF-b1, rActivin-A, or rIL-15 culture conditions in animal free / TGF-b1 free TexMACS medium (Miltenyi Biotec) containing b-Me, GlutaMax and sodium pyruvate for 48 hours. In certain proliferation assays, the pan adenosine receptor agonist 5'-(N-Ethylcarboxamido) adenosine (NECA) (Sigma Aldrich, St Louis. MO) was used at 1 µM in the culture media for comparison with TGF-b1. For the detection of cytokines in the supernatants of in vitro assays, IFN-g was measured by ELISA with the respective human or murine IFN-g Duoset Kit (R&D Systems) according to the manufacturer's instructions, while all other indicated cytokines were detected using Cytometric Bead Array (CBA) technology (BD Biosciences) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

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.
