Detailed PVSRIPO Virus Production Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PVSRIPO used in this work is from a good-laboratory-practice lot prepared for research purposes only. Briefly, infectious cDNA plasmid (10 (link)) was linearized with MluI, used as template for T7 in vitro transcription (Megascript, Thermo Fisher) to generate full-length vRNA. In vitro transcript RNA was transfected into HeLa R19 cells using DMRIE-C in Opti-MEM (Thermo Fisher) and virus recovered from the transfection procedure was titered by plaque assay (10 (link)). To prepare virus stocks, four 10-cm dishes of HeLa cells at ~90% confluence were infected at an MOI 10 and incubated 16–24 h until complete CPE. Following three freeze thaw cycles, the culture medium was collected, centrifuged at 14,000 × g and the resulting supernatant filtered through 0.1-μM syringe filters (Pall Corp.). Virus suspension was concentrated by centrifugation through a 100-kDa cutoff spin column (Millipore). Viral stocks were titered by plaque assay (10 (link)). CAV21 was propagated/purified using similar procedures (21 (link)).

HEK293T cells were transfected in a 24 well plate with 0.25 μg/well of in vitro transcribed m7GpppG(AG)10-FF-HCV-Ren or m7GpppG(UC)10FF-HCV-Ren mRNA using DMRIE-C following the manufacturer’s instructions (ThermoFisher, 10459014). One hour later, cells were exposed to the indicated concentrations of compounds for an additional 6 h. Following this, extracts were prepared using passive lysis buffer (PLB, Promega) and luciferase activity measured on a Berthold Lumat LB 9507 luminometer.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The mouse Sdk1 (long form) cDNA in pCMVscript (Clontech, Mountain View, CA) was described previously (Yamagata and Sanes, 2008 (link)). A cDNA encoding the short form of mouse Sdk1 was modified from the long form cDNA. Each plasmid was transfected to 293T cells (ATCC, Manassas, VA) with DMRIE-C (Thermo-Fisher, Waltham, MA) as described previously (Yamagata and Sanes, 2012a (link)).
Total RNA from animals or cultured cells was isolated using illustra RNAspin Mini (GE Heathcare Life Sciences, Marlborough, MA), which uses deoxyribonuclease I to remove DNA. cDNA was generated with Superscript III (Thermo-Fisher/Invitrogen) using random or sdk1 specific primers (CTCTATGATGGAAAGGAAGGCTC) for the short form, and treated with RNase H (Thermo-Fisher). Primer sequences and predicted sizes after PCR were as follows (see Figure 1 for location of each primer set).
EconoTaq plus green mixture (Lucigen, Middleton, WI) was used for PCR. PCR cycles were 94°C, 2 min; 42 cycles of 94°C, 30 s; 60°C, 30 s; 72°C, 1 min + 2 s extention; 72°C, 7 min, and 4°C.
Other primer sequences were as follows.
Cre: GCATTACCGGTCGATGCAACGAGTGATGAG, GAGTGAACGAACCTGGTCGAAATCAGTGCG
mouse Gapdh: TGAAGGTCGGTGTGAACGGATTTGGC, CATGTAGGCCATGAGGTCCACCAC.

Rice of The Rockefeller University, New York, NY) using DMRIE-C (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

MEL cells were cultured as described elsewhere [16] (link) and transfected (DMRIE-C, LifeTech.) with 25 nM siRNA-CTCF or non-silencing control siRNA (L-044693-01, Dharmacon). Stable transgenic Smarca5-shRNA cells were kindly obtained from Prof. Arthur. I. Skoultchi Laboratory. shSmarca5 was activated with 1 µg/mL of doxycycline. 2×106 OCI-M2 cells [15] (link) (DSMZ) were transfected (Amaxa) with 20 pmol siRNA-hSMARCA5 (s16082, Ambion, control: #1-AM4611), or with 0,5 µg pCTCF (Origene) or pBSK+ plasmid negative control. OCI-M2 were treated with 5 µM AZA (3-doses in 72 hrs) in presence of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) (50 ng/ml) [15] (link).

Characterizing Variant Allele Function in B Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
GM11993 and GM12005 B lymphoblast cell lines, mycoplasma-negative, were obtained from Coriell Institute Biorepository. Eight functional outside variant loci (~1–2 kb, Supplementary Table 2) were cloned from B lymphoblast cell lines that were heterozygous for the outside variant allele of interest into a luciferase reporter construct (pGL4 from Promega) for which the luciferase gene was driven by the ubiquitous mSox9 promoter. Sanger sequencing was utilized to identify the genotype of the outside variant allele in each clone (Supplementary Fig. 4). Two control loci, ~1–2 kb regions with no expected enhancer activity in B-lymphoblasts, were also cloned into the same construct to generate size-matched constructs to control for basal promoter activity. Reporter constructs were transfected into B lymphoblast cell line GM12005 using the transfection reagent DMRIE-C (Life Technologies). As an internal control, a renilla luciferase plasmid (pRL-SV40 from Promega) was co-transfected. After five hours, transfection reagents were replaced with fresh media. 24-hours post transfection, cells were harvested and luciferase reporter levels were compared to renilla reporter activity using Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay System (Promega).

Infectious Recombinant BmNPV Production

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To prepare infectious recombinant BmNPVs, each recombinant BmNPV bacmid was injected into silkworm larvae together with 1,2-dimyristyloxypropyl-3-dimethyl-hydroxyethyl ammonium bromide (DMRIE-C, Life Technologies Japan, Tokyo, Japan). Silkworm larvae were reared on an artificial diet, Silkmate 2 S (Nosan, Yokohama, Japan), for 6–7 days, and hemolymph was then collected from the silkworm larvae. This hemolymph was used to coexpress recombinant hIgG with human glycosyltransferases as an infectious recombinant BmNPV solution.
To coexpress hIgG and hGnT II, the hemolymph from a BmNPV CPChi/29IJ6 IgG bacmid-injected silkworm larva was mixed with the hemolymph from either a BmNPV CPChi/PAct-hGnT II bacmid- or BmNPV CPChi/PPol-hGnT II bacmid-injected silkworm larva. The hemolymph was diluted with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4), and 5 × 105 pfu of total recombinant BmNPVs was injected into silkworm pupae. The silkworm pupae were subsequently incubated for 4 days and were maintained at −80 °C before use.

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.
