VEGF-A Binding Inhibition Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Various concentrations of anti‐VEGFR2 scFvs were mixed with 3 nM human VEGF‐A (Peprotech), and the mixture was added to 96‐well plates coated with 1 μg/mL VEGFR2‐Fc and preblocked with 1% BSA. After incubation for 1 hour at room temperature and washing with PBST, the bound VEGF molecules were detected using anti‐VEGF mAb (GeneTex) and HRP‐labeled goat anti‐mouse IgG. Detection was accomplished with a mixture of o‐phenylenediamine dihydrochloride and H2O2, and the reaction was terminated with 3 N HCl. The absorbance was determined using a microplate reader at 490 nm.

Cell culture media RPMI 1640 Medium GlutaMAXTM was obtained from Life Technologies. Human VEGF-A and PlGF-1 were from Peprotech. H2DFFDA and CellROX were from Life Technologies. Hydrogen peroxide, methylglyoxal, NAC and 2-NBDG were from Sigma Aldrich. All the primers for qPCR were custom synthesised from Sigma Aldrich. Primer sequences are described in Supplementary Table S3.

Immunofluorescence Assay for VEGF-A Stimulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
1 × 105 transduced HDMECs were plated on coverslips in six well plates. Confluent cells were starved overnight in DMEM supplemented with 1% BSA. Starved cells were gently washed twice with PBS, and stimulated with 50 ng/ml human VEGF-A (Peprotech, Sweden) for 10 min at 37°C. VEGF-A containing medium was quickly removed and cells were washed twice in ice-cold PBS. Subsequently, cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde solution at room temperature for 15 min, and blocked with 2% BSA in PBS for 1 hr without permeabilization. Further incubation steps with primary and secondary antibodies were described as below.

Directed Differentiation of iPSCs to iPS-EC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The method used was adapted from previously published protocols23 (link). iPS cells were seeded on Corning Matrigel Growth Factor Reduced (GFR) Basement Membrane Matrix (SLS, 356231) at a density of 1.6 × 105 cells per 6 well in StemMACS iPS-Brew XF (Milteney Biotech, 130-104-368) supplemented with 10 μM Y-27632 (ATCC ACS-3030) for 24 h. The following day (day 1), the medium was changed to N2B27 medium, a 1:1 ratio of Neurobasal medium (Thermo, 21103049) and DMEM/F12 (Gibco, 11330-032), with N2 (Thermo, 17502048), B27 (Thermo, 12587010), Glutamax (Thermo, 350050061) and freshly supplemented with 8 μM of CHIR (Sigma, SML1046) and 25 ng/ml of BMP4 (ThermoFisher, PHC9534). After 72 h (day 4), the medium was replaced with StemPro-34 SFM (Gibco, 10639011) supplemented with 200 ng/ml human VEGFA (Peprotech, 100-20) and 2 μM Forskolin (R&D system, 1099). On day 6, cells were selected by Magnetic Activated Cell Sorting (MACS) for iPS-EC expressing CD144 using Microbeads Kit (Miltenyi Biotec, 130-097-857). Positive cells were seeded on mouse Collagen IV (BioTechne, 3410-010-02) coated plate in EGM2-MV medium (Promocell, C-22011) supplemented with 20% FBS (Thermo, 10500064) and 50 ng/ml VEGFA. Cells were used for experiments up to 3 passages.

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.
