Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
When tumor size was >108 radiance and/or >500 mm3, tumors from 3 mice that escaped agonistic αCD40 (harvested at day 40–75), 2 tumors that escaped agonistic αCD40+αPD-L1 (harvested at day 80) ,and 2 tumors that escaped αPD-1+αPD-L1 (harvested at day 80) were expanded in vitro as described (20 ). Following in vitro establishment of cell lines (~1 week), 3×105KPC tumor epithelial cells per well were plated in 6-well plates in tumor media. After 24 hours, supernatant was removed and replaced with tumor media ± 50 ng/ml recombinant mouse IFNγ (R&D Systems). After ∼48 h, adherent tumor cells were lifted in 10 mM EDTA (Invitrogen), washed and stained with antibodies directly conjugated to PD-L1 (10F.9G2, BioLegend). Data were acquired on Fortessa flow cytometer (BD) using BD FACSDiva software and analyzed using FlowJo v10. Re-derived cell lines were also plated at equal numbers and cultured in vitro ± recombinant mouse IFNγ (100 ng/mL, R&D Systems) for 24 hours in 6-well plates. Cells were lifted in 10 mM EDTA (Invitrogen), RNA was extracted (QIAGEN RNeasy Mini Kit) and concentration/purity was assessed by Nanodrop. cDNA was generated using RT Buffer Mix and RT Enzyme Mix (Thermo Fisher). Real time PCR was performed in triplicate on a BioRad CFX96 Touch Real-Time PCR Detection System by measuring SYBR Green (BioRad) fluorescence for 40 cycles similar to as we described (20 ).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
KPC2a tumors from 2 mice treated with αPD-L1 (harvested at day 45), 1 mouse treated with αPD-1 (harvested at day 45), and one mouse treated with dual blockade (harvested at day 63) were expanded in vitro using culture conditions described above. Parental, KPC2a, and re-derived cell lines were plated at equal numbers and cultured in vitro ± recombinant mouse IFNγ (100ng/mL, R&D Systems) for 24 hours in 6-well plates. Cells were lifted in 10mM EDTA (Invitrogen), RNA was extracted (QIAGEN RNeasy Mini Kit) and concentration/purity was assessed by Nanodrop. cDNA was generated using RT Buffer Mix and RT Enzyme Mix (Thermo Fisher). Real time PCR was performed in triplicate on a BioRad CFX96 Touch Real-Time PCR Detection System by measuring SYBR Green (BioRad) fluorescence for 40 cycles. MSLN was used as a negative control and ATP5b as a reference gene because they are unlikely to be influenced by IFNγ. Calculations were performed according to the geNorm method to calculate fold change and standard error (Vandesompele et al., 2002 ).

Recombinant mouse IFN-γ, M-CSF, GM-CSF (R&D Systems), IL-4 (BioLegend) and LPS (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) were used for the culture of BMDMs and BMDCs.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To evaluate potential synergy between DSP-7888 Emulsion and PD-1 inhibition, 8-week-old female HLA-A*02:01 transgenic mice received a single intradermal injection of either DSP-7888 Emulsion (n = 5) or nelatimotide-only emulsion (n = 5). After 7 days, mice were euthanized via carbon dioxide inhalation, and splenocytes from each group were harvested and pooled. A portion of splenocytes from each group were pulsed with 100 µg/mL WT1126-134 peptide for 1 h, washed twice, and used as antigen-presenting cells. LLC-HHD-WT1 cells were irradiated with X-ray, stimulated for 2 days with 100 ng/mL recombinant mouse IFN-γ (R&D Systems), and used as tumor cells. Splenocytes, antigen-presenting cells, and tumor cells were co-cultured (10:1:1) in 96-well U-bottom plates (“with tumor cells” culture). Control wells received culture medium instead of tumor cells (“without tumor cells” culture). Both the “with” and “without” tumor cell cultures were incubated with anti-PD-1 (29F.1A12, BioLegend) or an isotype control antibody (rat IgG2aκ, BD Biosciences) for 3 days. Each sample was plated in triplicate. Secreted IFN-γ was measured using the Mouse IFN-γ ELISA Set (R&D Systems).

The RAW 264.7 and J774-A1 cells were seeded at the density of 5 × 104 cells per well in 96-well plates, activated with 200 U/ml of recombinant mouse IFN-γ (R&D Systems, United States) and 0.2 μg/ml of LPS from Escherichia coli 0111:B4 (Sigma-Aldrich, United States) for 24 h prior of the T. gondii infection. After 24 h of activation, cells were washed twice with sterile PBS, DMEM supplemented with 3% FBS was added, cells were infected with a 5 T. gondii per macrophage (5:1) ratio and incubated at 37°C for 2 h. The T. gondii-macrophage ratio used was determined by previous experiments examining NO production and number of adhered macrophages after 24 h infection. After infection, cells were washed twice in sterile PBS, and DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS with IFN-γ and LPS or these activators and L-arginine (Sigma-Aldrich, United States) at different concentration, was added. Supernatants were collected at 2, 4, 6, and 24 h after infection for the nitrite assay.

The CD8+ T cells and CD4+ T cells were isolated from the spleens or lymph nodes of BALB/c and DUC18 Tg mice using CD8a (Ly‐2) MicroBeads and CD4 (L3T4) MicroBeads according to manufacturer’s protocol (Miltenyi Biotec). The purity of isolated cells was greater than 95%. CD8+ T cells were stimulated by Dynabeads Mouse T‐Activator CD3/CD28 (Invitrogen) at several bead‐to‐cell ratios in the absence or presence of syngeneic CD4+ T cells (CD8 / CD4 ratio = 0.5). In some experiments, recombinant human IL‐2 (provided Takeda Pharmaceutical), recombinant mouse IL‐21 (R&D Systems), and/or recombinant mouse IFN‐γ (R&D Systems) were added.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The murine leukemia monocyte/macrophage cell line RAW264.7 (TIB 71; ATCC, Rockville, MD, USA) was cultured in RPMI 1640 containing 4.5 g/l glucose, 10% FCS, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 10 mM HEPES, 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin. Tachyzoites of the mouse-avirulent type II T. gondii strain NTE (62 (link)) were propagated in L929 fibroblasts as described previously (17 (link)). Prior to infection, parasites were isolated by differential centrifugation and thoroughly washed (39 (link)). Unless stated otherwise, host cells were infected at a parasite-to-host cell ratio of 6:1 for 24 h. Infected cells or non-infected controls were stimulated with 100 U/ml (all experiments except ChIP) or 300 U/ml (ChIP) of recombinant mouse IFN-γ (R&D Systems, Wiesbaden, Germany) starting at 3–23.5 h after infection as indicated. For some experiments, RAW264.7 cells were treated with 0.5 μM of 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine (AZA) for 7 days prior to infection with T. gondii and/or treatment with IFN-γ.

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.
