THP-1 human monocytes (ATCC TIB-202) were suspended in complete RPMI media and incubated at 37°C/5% CO2 for 24 h in presence of 50 ng/ml phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA, Sigma-Aldrich), and then for 48 h in complete RPMI media without any stimulus to generate the resting mφs [21 (link)]. RAW 264.7 murine macrophages (ATCC TIB-71) were cultured in high glucose Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), 2 mmol/l glutamine, 100 IU/ml penicillin, and 100 μg/ml streptomycin (Corning, Corning NY). THP-1 (human) or RAW 264.7 (murine) mφs were seeded in 6-well (1×106 cells/well), 24-well (5×105 cells/well) or 96-well (1×104 cells/well) plates, or in Nunc Lab-Tek II chamber slides (1×104 cells/well, Thermo Scientific, Waltham MA) and incubated for 2 h to allow the cells to adhere. Serum-free media was added, and macrophages were incubated in triplicate with microparticles (MPs) isolated from human or mouse plasma (10% plasma equivalent) or from media of Tc-infected cells (10% media equivalent). Macrophages (± MPs) were incubated for 1, 12, 24 or 48 h and cells and supernatants were stored at −80°C.

Cells were seeded in NUNC Lab-Tek II chamber slides (ThermoScientific) and imaged in a humidified live-cell chamber equilibrated to 5% CO2 and 37°C using an Olympus IX81 deconvolution microscope equipped with SlideBook Software (Version 5.0.0.14, Intelligent Imaging Innovations, Inc.). To monitor fluid phase endocytosis, cells were treated with 0.1 mgml−1 AlexaFluor488-dextran (10 kDa; Life Technologies). To label acidic organelles, cells were incubated with LysoSensor DND-189 (1μM; Life Technologies) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. For detection of cathepsin B activity, cells were incubated with MagicRed Cathepsin B (ImmunoChemistry Technologies, LLC) per the manufacturer’s protocol.

Splenocytes were prepared as described above from 12‐week‐old CSF1R‐eGFP reporter transgenic birds. 0·2 × 106 cells were plated on fibronectin‐coated 8‐well Nunc Lab‐Tek II Chamber slides (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and incubated at 41˚C with RPMI medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) heat‐inactivated FBS, 2 mM L‐glutamine and antibiotics (100 g/ml penicillin, 100 g/ml streptomycin) for one hour. After one‐hour, non‐adherent cells were gently washed off with RPMI and remaining adherent cells were incubated overnight in complete RPMI medium supplemented with 200 ng/ml recombinant chicken CSF1 produced as described previously [30 (link)]. The next day slides were chilled on ice for 30 minutes and stained using XCL1AF647, anti‐chicken MHCII‐RPE and KUL01‐RPE (Table 1) in RPMI. After one hour, cells were washed in phenol red‐free RMPI medium. After staining, phenol red‐free RMPI with 10% (v/v) FBS was added to the cells and the chamber slides were placed on a microscope stage heated to 41˚C and imaged using a Zeiss LSM 710‐inverted microscope.

Immunofluorescence and Confocal Microscopy Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunofluorescence staining and confocal microscopy were performed as described previously (10 (link),18 (link),19 (link)). Briefly, cells were grown and drug treated on chamber slides (Thermo Scientific™ Nunc™ Lab-Tek™ II Chamber slides) followed by fixation with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min at room temperature. Primary antibodies against PRMT5, γH2AX and XRCC1 were detected using anti-rabbit or anti-mouse IgG secondary antibodies labeled with Alexa 488/568 (Invitrogen). Cells were mounted in anti-fade solution with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA) and examined under Leica TCS SP8 confocal laser-scanning microscope (Germany) with a 63×/1.4 NA oil objective. Images were collected and processed using the Leica software and sized in Adobe Photoshop 7.0. The γH2AX intensity per nucleus was determined with Adobe Photoshop 7.0 by measuring the fluorescence intensities normalized to the number of cell count (10 (link),18 (link),19 (link)).

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.
