Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) (50:50, Mw = 12,000) was purchased from Boehringer Ingelheim (Ingelheim, Germany). Ranibizumab was a generous gift from Genentech (San Francisco, CA). Dichloromethane (DCM), acetonitrile, ethylene glycol (EG), and Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were purchased from Fisher Scientific (Newton, NJ). The fluorescence dye 1,1'-Dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate (‘DiI’, D-282) was purchased from Invitrogen (Grand Island, NY) and Nile red from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). Rhodamine-6G was purchased from Acros organics (Fisher Scientific Newton, NJ). The Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Elisa) plate was purchased from Greiner Bio-one (Monroe, NC).

Microspheres (MS) were prepared as a pharmacological strategy using an oil-in-water emulsion solvent extraction-evaporation process (Nicolete et al., 2007; Nicolete et al., 2008) . Briefly, LTB 4 was not certified by peer review) is the author/funder. All rights reserved. No reuse allowed without permission.

Then, 0.3 mL of the organic phase, equivalent to 3× 10 -5 M of the LTB 4 solution was added to 10 mL of methylene chloride supplemented with 30 mg of 50:50 poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) (Boehringer Ingelheim, Germany). Next, 40 mL of 3% polyvinyl alcohol (3% w/v PVA) (Sigma-Aldrich CO., St. Louis, MO, USA) were added and the mixture was mechanically stirred at 600 rpm for 4 h (RW-20; Ika®-Werke GmbH & CO. KG, Staufen, Germany).
Microspheres were washed (3x) with deionized water (Milli-Q®, Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany), lyophilized, and stored at -20 °C until use.

Soy lecithin, heparin sodium porcine mucosa, ethylenediamine tetrakis(propoxylateblock-ethoxylate) tetrol (Tetronic 1107 ® , T1107), polyoxyethylene (20) (link) sorbitan monolaureate (Tween ® 20), cottonseed oil, polycaprolactone (PCL, Mn 70000 -90000 Da), poly(methyl vinyl ether-alt-maleic) anhydride (PVM/MA, Mn 80000 Da), methoxypolyethylene glycol amine 5000 (PEGAm), dextran sulfate sodium salt (Mw > 500000) were all purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Missouri, USA). Poly(lactic-coglycolic acid) (PLGA) was obtained from Boehringer-Ingelheim (Petersburg, USA).
Recombinant proteins BMP-7 and TGF-β3 were bought from Peprotech (USA); their respective ELISA kits were bought from Abnova (Taiwan) and Uscn Life Sience Inc.
(China). The remaining reagents and solvents used were of analytical grade or better. In all the experiments, ultrapure water was employed (Milli-Q, Millipore).

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.
