Thawing and Enumeration of Frozen PBMCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Frozen PBMC vials were removed from liquid nitrogen storage tanks and placed into a 37 °C water bath. Once samples were thawed and removed from the water bath, the vials were wiped down with 70% isopropyl alcohol and the cell suspensions transferred using plastic transfer pipettes (Fisher Brand) to a 15 mL round bottom tube (Corning). Roswell Park Memorial Institute Medium (RPMI [Gibco]) with 10% Fetal Calf Serum (FCS [Omega]), 1% L-glutamine (Gibco), 100 U/mL Penicillin-Streptomycin (Gibco), 12.5 mM 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES [Gibco]) buffer was added dropwise to each round bottom tube to gradually dilute the cell suspension. Between dropwise additions of culture medium, the cell suspensions were agitated to ensure homogeneity. Cells were centrifuged at 300g for 10 min at room temperature, then resuspended in 1 mL of 10% FCS-RPMI. Cell suspensions were counted using a Z2 Particle Counter (Beckman Coulter) and viabilities were assessed using 1:4 dilution of cell suspension to 0.2% Trypan Blue under a hemocytometer chamber; mean viability of PBMC was 89.6%. Thawed PBMC were divided for DNA extraction and flow cytometry.

Two‐month‐old C57bl6 male mice were anesthetized with Nembutal, and an incision was made to open the peritoneum. A 24‐gauge catheter was inserted into the inferior vena cava and another in the portal vein; the inferior vena cava below the heart was clamped. Through the portal vein catheter, the liver was washed with 100 mL calcium (–) magnesium (–) Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS) with 50 mM 4‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)‐1‐piperazine ethanesulfonic acid (Gibco) and 25 mM ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid at 2‐3 mL/minute. Next, the liver was digested with 0.3 mg/g collagenase type IV (Sigma) and 50 mM 4‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)‐1‐piperazine ethanesulfonic acid in HBSS with calcium. Upon digestion, liver was removed and dispersed in 30 mL HBSS. Dispersed cells were filtered by mesh (100 μm) and centrifuged at 50g for 5 minutes twice to isolate hepatocytes. Then, supernatant was spun down at 700 g for 10 minutes to obtain nonparenchymal cells (NPCs).

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.
