Heparinized human peripheral blood was obtained from healthy donors (n = 3) after informed written consent approved by the cantonal ethics committee Zurich, Switzerland (KEK-ZH-2014-0430). Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (hPBMCs) were isolated according to standard protocols by ficoll density gradient centrifugation (Histopaque-1077; Sigma, Switzerland). Migration of 3 × 106 hPBMCs in 300 μl basal medium supplemented with 0.5% fetal calf serum (FCS) (Sigma, Switzerland) towards the lower compartment containing either (I) 0.1 ml hMSC CM + 0.5% FCS (n = 5 per tissue source), (II) basal medium + 0.5% FCS or (III) 5 ng/ml monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) + 0.5% FCS, was evaluated through a PET membrane with 3 μm pores (Corning, USA) after 3 h. The number of migrated cells was defined by counting cells over 1 min on a FACSCanto II (BD Bioscience, USA). Monocyte subpopulations were differentiated by staining with CD14, CD16, and propidium iodide (PI) (supplementary Table S2; supplementary Fig. S13).

The erythroleukemia cell line (K562, ATCC Cat# 300224/p473ATCC RRID:CVCL_0004), was cultured (humidified atmosphere at 37 °C in 5% CO2) in 75 cm2 flasks in the presence of Iscove Modified Dulbecco Media (IMDM, Corning) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (Corning) and 100 U/mL streptomycin/penicillin.
African green monkey kidney cells (Vero, ATCC Cat# CCL-81, RRID:CVCL_0059) were used as the control cell line. Vero cells were cultured in Dulbecco′s Modified Eagle′s Medium (DMEM, Corning) supplemented with fetal calf serum and antibiotics, as previously described for IMDM.
When the cells reached a confluency of 3 × 105/mL cells, a solution of alga extract solubilized in dimethyl sulfoxide (dmso) at a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL and 0.75 mg/mL was supplemented to the flasks and incubated for 24 and 48 h.

Preparation and Characterization of DHAV-1 Strains

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary DEF cells were prepared from 12-day-old embryonated Pekin duck eggs by a standard method [32 (link)] and maintained in growth medium consisting of DMEM (Macgene, Beijing, China) supplemented with 10% FCS (Corning, Corning, NY, USA), 100 U/mL of penicillin, and 0.1 mg/mL of streptomycin (10% FCS DMEM). The cells were grown in T25 flasks, seeded at 1 × 106 cells per flask, or 24-well plates, seeded at 2 × 105 cells per well, and incubated at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere.
Two DHAV-1 strains were used: C-QYD, originally isolated in 10-day-old embryonated duck eggs from an outbreak of DVH and passaged once [33 (link)]; and C80, the 80th passage of the DHAV-1 C strain in specific pathogen-free (SPF) embryonated chicken eggs [12 (link)]. The viruses, present as embryo homogenates, were stored at −80 °C. Using embryonated duck and chicken eggs, we determined the titers of C-QYD and C80 to be 105.50 and 106.84 50% embryo lethal dose (ELD50) per 0.1 mL, respectively.
Antiserum against DHAV-1 C-QYD was prepared in our laboratory previously and stored at −20 °C [34 ].

Bone marrow cells were prepared from the femurs and tibias of mice and cultured in DMEM (Corning, USA) supplemented with 10% FCS (Corning, USA) and 40ng/mL murine GM-CSF (Pepro Tech, USA). The cells were collected after 7 days to be used as GM-CSF-induced bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). Female C57BL/6 mice (6–12-week old) were injected with 2 mL 3% sodium thioglycolate (Sigma, USA) solution intraperitoneally. Four days later, cells in the abdominal cavity were collected by lavaging with 15 mL DMEM without FBS and centrifugation. Cells were seeded and maintained in DMEM with 10% FBS. The adhered peritoneal macrophages were used for further experiments 24 h later. HEK293T and THP-1 cells were maintained in DMEM or RPMI-1640 (Corning, USA) medium containing 10% FCS. Cycloheximide (CHX), MG132 and bafilomycin A1 were purchased from Sigma.

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.
