500 μl PB was diluted (1:1) with complete culture medium and dispensed in 24-well plates. Cells were stimulated with following ligands (in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37 °C) for 24 h: LPS (2.5 μg/ml), PG (5 μg/ml), MRP8 (5 μg/ml), TNC (10 μg/ml). Unstimulated cells served as the baseline. In the culture supernatants, levels of TNF (BD OptEIA Kit, CA, USA), IL-6 (BD OptEIA Kit, CA, USA) and MMP3 (R&D systems, MN, USA) were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), as per the manufacturer’s instructions. The minimum detection limit was 7.8 pg/ml for TNF, 4.7 pg/ml for IL-6 and 31.3 pg/ml for MMP3.

J774.2 cells (5 × 105) were incubated with native, dissociated, and N-deglycosylated hemocyanins (500 μg/ml) in serum-free culture medium for 24 h at 37 °C as described by Jiménez et al. (30 (link)). As a positive control, cells were incubated with LPS from E. coli (Enzo Life Sciences) (100 ng/ml). As a negative control, cells were incubated with culture medium without hemocyanin. Culture supernatants were collected and quantified by ELISA using BD OptEIATM kits (BD Biosciences) to detect IL-6, IL-12p40, and TNFα, according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Cytokines levels were determined from colon and/or tumor samples. Tissues were collected, weighed and immediately homogenized in PBS in the presence of protease inhibitors (Roche) using a tissue homogenizer (Polytron System PT 1200E). The material was then centrifuged at 6000 rpm for 15 min at 4 °C and the supernatant collected, aliquoted and stored at -80 °C until the time of use. The concentrations of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-12 (p70), IL-17, IFN-γ, IL-1 β, IL-10, TGF-β, IL-23 were determined by ELISA BD OptEIATM kits (BD Biosciences Pharmingen) or DuoSet (R&D Systems). The protocol was performed according to the manufacturers’ instructions. Cytokine concentrations were determined with reference to the linear regression line obtained with the serial dilution data of each recombinant mouse cytokine.

CCL20 and eNAMPT were measured using Duoset kits (R&D Systems), whereas CCL5, CCL2, and CXCL8 levels were measured with OptEIATM kits (BD Pharmingen, Milan, Italy), in cell-free supernatants (sups) from resting or stimulated keratinocyte, fibroblast and/or endothelial cultures, according to the manufacturer’s protocols. The plates were analyzed in an ELISA reader mod.3550 UV BioRad. Results are graphed as pg or ng/106 cells ± SD.

Evaluation of Inflammatory Response to μDH Particles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups (n=3) and injected
intravenously with 50 μl of PBS solution containing different
concentrations of μDH particles (0.1, 1, and 5 mg/mL). At 24 h
post-administration, blood was collected from mice through cardiac puncture
after euthanization. A blood sample taken from the untreated mice was included
as a control. Inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and TNF-α) in the
blood were measured using BD OptEIA kits (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA)
following the manufacturer’s protocol.

For the quantification of cytokines by ELISA (Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay), BMDMs were plated in 24-well plates (5 × 105 cells/well) and pretreated with 100 ng/ml LPS (Escherichia coli 055: B5 LPS, Sigma) or Pam3Cys for 4 h and then infected with L. amazonensis (MOI 10). The cytokine IL-1β present in the supernatant was measured by ELISA using the BD OptEIA kits (BD Biosciences), according to instructions provided by the manufacturer. The OD values were read on the SpectraMax i3 system (Molecular Devices).

For estimation of cytokines, three mice from immunized group were randomly selected and sacrificed and their splenocytes were removed aseptically and resuspended in RPMI-1640 media with 10% FBS. The splenocytes from un-immunized mice group were used as negative controls. The spleen cells were seeded in a 24-well plate at a density of 1 × 106 cells/well. The isolated splenocytes cultures were stimulated with 5 μg/mL of rBoNT/E-LC. These cells were incubated at 37 °C in CO2 incubator (5% CO2) for 48 h. Supernatants were collected after centrifugation (1,500 × g) and stored at – 80 °C until analyzed for cytokines expression. The expression levels of different cytokines i.e. IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-2, IL-4 and IL-10 were determined by ELISA using BD OptEIA Kits, according to the manufacturer's protocol. The expression of cytokines was calculated using standard curves generated with known concentrations of recombinant cytokines and expressed in picograms per milliliter (pg/mL).

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.
