Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All experiments involving mice were reviewed and approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. Bone marrow from 4–6 week old female C57BL/6 mice was harvested, lineage depleted, and cultured in the presence of recombinant murine SCF (rmSCF, Peprotech, 50ng/ml), IL-3 (rmIL3, Peprotech, 50ng/ml), and IL-6 (rmIL6, Peprotech, 50ng/ml) for 24 hours prior to transduction on RetroNectin (Takara Bio Inc.) coated plates. Cultured supernatants containing ecotropic envelope pseudotyped retroviral vectors were produced by transient transfection of 293T cells as previously described33 (link). Murine bone marrow cells were harvested 48 hours following transduction, sorted for vector-encoded mCherry or GFP expression, and plated on methylcellulose containing IL-3, IL-6, SCF and erythropoietin (EPO) (Stem Cell technologies, Vancouver, BC) as per manufacturer’s instructions. Colonies were counted after 7 days of growth at 37°C, harvested and serially replated.

Eosinophils were generated from BMCs as described previously (Dyer et al., 2008 (link)). In brief, BMCs (1 × 106/ml) were cultured in Iscove's modified Dulbecco's medium containing 20% FBS, 100 IU/ml penicillin and 10 μg/ml streptomycin, 2 mM glutamine and 1x non‐essential amino acids and 1 mM sodium pyruvate and 50 μM β‐mercaptoethanol supplemented with 100 ng/ml recombinant murine stem‐cell factor (rmSCF, PeproTech, RockyHill, NJ, USA) and 100 ng/ml fms‐like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (rmFLT3L, PeproTech) from day 0 to day 4. On day 4, the medium was replaced with a medium containing 10 ng/ml rmIL‐5 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) only and was changed with 10 ng/ml rmIL‐5 every other day until day 12.
To carry out co‐culture of bone marrow macrophages with eosinophil‐CM, CM from day 7 to day 8 (24 h) of ex vivo eosinophil cultures derived from WT or mS6KO were collected. BMCs from C57BL/6 mice were incubated with M‐CSF for 48 h followed by 8 h‐incubation with CM, and mRNA of M2 macrophage genes was analyzed.

Retroviral Transduction of Mouse Hematopoietic Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell culture and retroviral transduction were performed as previously described with minor modification (Rathinam et al., 2010 (link)). Mouse hematopoietic cells were cutlred in RPMI (Thermo Fisher Scientific) with 10% FBS, 1% PS, 10ng/ml rm-IL3, rm-IL6, rm-TPO, rm-Flt3L and rm-SCF (PEPROTECH). For viral transduction, Cells were centrifused at 30 degree for 90 minutes at 2000 rpm with polybrene (8ug /ml). Plat-E packaging cells (Cell Bio labs) were used for retrovirus production. For making retrovirus plasmid PGFP-RV-mKlf1, mouse Klf1 cDNA was cloned from pMXs-ms-Klf1 (a gift from Shinya Yamanaka, Add gene plasmid #50785) (Nakagawa et al., 2008 (link)) into PGFP-RV.

De novo isolated or post–48-h liquid culture cells were plated in MethoCult GF M3434, supporting myeloid and erythroid differentiation, or MethoCult GF M3630, supporting preB cell differentiation (STEMCELL Technologies), supplemented with 0–20 ng/ml rmFlt-3L and 0–100 ng/ml rmSCF (PeproTech), and cultured at 37°C and 5% CO2. Colonies were scored between days 7 and 10 after plating, and images were captured using an inverted microscope (Diaphot 200; Nikon) at 4× with SPOT imaging software (v.5.0.15). Single representative colonies were isolated and used to confirm cell lineage by FACS analysis for the surface markers CD11b (M1/70), Gr-1 (RB6-8C5), and B220 (RA3-6B2) and Wright-Giemsa staining of fixed cytospins. Cytospin images were captured using an inverted microscope (Eclipse E200-LED; Nikon) at 100× with SPOT imaging software.

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.
