1 2 dioleoyl sn glycero 3 phosphocholine dopc

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) is a synthetic lipid compound commonly used in scientific research and laboratory applications. It is a phospholipid that consists of two oleic acid chains attached to a glycerol backbone and a phosphocholine head group. DOPC is a versatile material that can be used to create model membrane systems, such as liposomes and lipid bilayers, for the study of various biological processes and membrane-related phenomena.

Quantifying Extracellular Vesicle Protein and Lipid

We measured the amount of total protein in aliquots of EVs containing 5, 10, 20 and 50 × 109 EVs using the BCA protein assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and determined EV numbers per microgram of protein. The total lipid content in EV preparations was measured by the modified sulpho-phospho vanillin (SPV) method, as described elsewhere [27 (link)]. Briefly, both standard (1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, DOPC; Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) and hiPSC-NSC-EV samples in SEC buffer (40 μl each) were sonicated at 35 amplitude (20 kHz) for 10 minutes, intensely vortexed for 2 minutes and mixed with 200 μl of 96% sulphuric acid. Following brief vortexing, the tubes were incubated at 90°C for 20 minutes, moved to 4°C for 5 minutes and mixed with 120 μl of phospho-vanillin reagent and vortexed. Next, 280 μl of each sample was transferred to a 96 well plate, and the colour reaction was allowed to progress for 10 minutes at room temperature. Absorbance at 540 nm was determined with a plate reader. The total lipid content in EV samples was calculated using the standard graph, and these values were used to determine the protein-lipid ratio in different samples.

Nanoliposome Adjuvant Synthesis Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MP adjuvant and MPQ adjuvant were prepared by the thin-film hydration method. To prepare MP adjuvant platform, 0.2 mg of monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL) (Avanti Polar Lipid, Alabaster, AL, USA), 1 mg of 1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), and 0.25 mg of cholesterol (Sigma Aldrich), were dissolved in 1 ml of ethanol. To prepare MPQ adjuvant platform, 0.2 mg of QS21 (Desert King International, San Diego, CA, USA) was added into the MP adjuvant platform. Then, the organic solvent was removed with a rotary evaporator from both adjuvant platform solutions to generate the thin film layer. The thin film was hydrated with 2 ml of PBS (Hyclone, Logan, UT, USA) at 60°C for 30 min, and the resulting solution was sonicated for 1 min with tip sonication under ice bath conditions. The resultant was rotated by tube revolver for 2 h. Finally, it was mixed with 2 mg of poly I:C (Invivogen, San Diego, CA, USA) dissolved in PBS at a 1:1 volume ratio, leading to the generation of MP or MPQ nanoliposome adjuvant.

Raman images (∼1000
× 400 μm (spatial resolution
of ∼2 μm)) of native articular cartilage and tissue engineered
constructs were measured by continuous scanning. Each Raman spectrum
was collected with an acquisition time of 0.3–0.5 s, 1 accumulation,
and a power on the sample of ∼41 mW using the 532 nm laser
excitation. No sample degradation was noticed using this power density.
For comparison, reference Raman spectra were also measured of chondroitin
sulfate (Sigma-Aldrich), collagen type II (Sigma-Aldrich), synthetic
hydroxyapatite (Sigma-Aldrich), 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine
(DOPC) (Sigma-Aldrich), glycogen (Sigma-Aldrich), and demineralized
H2O using similar experimental parameters.

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.
