Subgingival Plaque Biofilm Cultivation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Subgingival plaque was collected from hopeless elements extracted for periodontal reasons and with probing greater than 7 mm. Plaque was incubated in 2 mL of LB Broth (Lennox L-broth base, Invitrogen, MA, USA), a generic culture medium for bacteria, for 24 h at 37 °C in oscillating incubator to obtain the inoculum for biofilm cultivation. Discs were placed into wells of 6-well cell plates (Corning Life Sciences, Woburn, MA, USA), covered with 3 mL of subgingival human plaque suspension + 2 mL of fresh LB broth medium. Bacteria and discs finally were incubated for 7 days, at 37 °C. The LB medium was replaced every 24 h. After 7 days of cultivation, the medium rich in bacteria was removed, and the biofilm-covered discs were transferred into new wells of a sterile 6-well plate. All discs were washed with PBS 1X, then discs used for Cell culture were leaved in PBS 1X, whereas discs used for microscopy were fixed in formalin solution neutral buffered 10% (Sigma Aldrich, MO, USA) for 15 min at room temperature and dehydrated using solutions with an increased concentration of alcohol (50%, 5 min—75%, 5 min—80%, 5 min, 95%, 5 min and 100%, 30 min). Fixed and non-fixed discs were stored at 4 °C.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Spleens from mice were collected, fixed using Formalin solution neutral buffered 10% (Sigma-Aldrich, Missouri, USA), and soaked in 30% sucrose before being embedded in FSC 22 Frozen Section Media (Leica Biosystems, IL, USA) followed by snap freezing with dry ice. Tissue sectioning was done by the Laboratory Animal Research Facility in National Cancer Center, Korea. 6 μm-thick-sections were fixed for 15 minutes in acetone and methanol with a 1:1 ratio before blocked in PBS containing 10% FBS (Atlas Biologicals, CO, USA) and 0.3% TWEEN 20 (Sigma-Aldrich, Missouri, USA) for 1 hour at room temperature. Staining with mixture of 5 μg /ml FITC conjugated anti-B220 (clone RA3-6B2, Biolegend, CA, USA) and 20 μg/ml biotinylated anti-AID (clone mAID-2, eBioscience, CA, USA) was carried out at 4oC, overnight. Sections were washed and incubated with 1/500 dilution of Cyanine3 Streptavidin (Biolegend, CA, USA) at room temperature for 1 hour before counterstaining with DAPI. Sections were mounted in VECTASHIELD Antifade mounting medium (Vector Laboratories, CA, USA) and viewed with Olympus iX83 microscope. For H&E staining, fixed sections were stained using the H&E staining kit (Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom) following the manufacture’s instruction.

Quantitative Angiogenesis Assay on CAM

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
An ex ovo CAM assay was performed as previously described [42 (link),43 (link)]. Briefly, fertilized chicken eggs (Granjas Gibert SA) were incubated for 3 days in a humidified incubator at 37 °C. The entire egg content was then carefully transferred into a Petri dish (430167, Corning) and incubated for another 6 days. On embryonic day E9, sterile methylcellulose disks containing or without GC8 particles were carefully placed on the CAM. For each experimental condition, six specimens were used and 4 disks were placed on each membrane. The disks were prepared previously to the implantation day by drying 50 μL drops of a solution containing 1.5% (w/v) (hydroxypropyl)methyl cellulose (Sigma-Aldrich) in MilliQ water with or without homogeneously distributed GC8 particles on a Teflon surface [44 (link)]. After 3 more days of incubation (E12), embryos were humanely sacrificed by decapitation and CAM was immediately fixed with a neutral buffered 10% formalin solution (Sigma-Aldrich) for 30 min. Finally, the membranes containing the disks were excised and images were acquired with an Olympus MVX10 Macroscope. Angiogenesis stimulation was quantitatively measured by counting the vessels converging towards the disks using ImageJ. A minimum of 10 samples were analyzed per condition.

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.
