Yeast Knockout Collection Strain Culture

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The wild‐type strain BY4742 (Mat α, his3Δ1, leu2Δ0, lys2Δ0, ura3Δ0) and its isogenic derivatives deleted for SSA1 (YAL005C), SSB1 (YDL229W), and CPR6 (YLR216C) were purchased from the Thermo Yeast Knockout (YKO) Collection. Strains were grown in Yeast Nitrogen Base (YNB) medium (20 g/L glucose) supplemented with amino acids arginine (10 mL/L), leucine (20 mL/L), uracil (10 mL/L), histidine (3 mL/L) and lysine (10 mL/L) on a shaker (30°C, 300 rpm) in biological quadruplicates. The WT strain was SILAC‐labelled by growing in YNB medium supplemented with ‘light’ amino acids leucine (20 mL/L), uracil (10 mL/L), histidine (3 mL/L) and ‘heavy’ 13C6‐lysine (10 mL/L) and 13C6‐arginine (10 mL/L). Cells were harvested in exponential growth phase at OD600 = 2 (± 10%) by centrifugation at 4000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C, aliquoted and stored at –80°C until further use. Cells were counted for each biological replicate using a Cellometer cell counter (Cellometer AUTOM10 by Nexcelom. http://www.nexcelom.com).

Measurement of Cell Dimensions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell diameters of live REF52 intact cells and cytoplasts were measured using a Cellometer cell counter (Nexcelom). For volume measurements, cells were suspended in PBS (Ca2+/Mg2+ free) and stained with calcein-AM and Hoechst 33342 dyes for 15 min at 37°C. Cells were seeded on glass-bottomed culture dishes that were coated with 0.5% BSA. Cells sedimented to the glass bottom and remained nonadherent. Using an Olympus FV1000 with a 40× objective, confocal fluorescent image stacks were generated for mixed populations of intact cells and cytoplasts. Image stacks were analyzed in ImageJ based on 3D projections of masked calcein-AM and Hoechst 33342 channels. Voxels were measured for each masked image.

Paclitaxel Resistance in T47D Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
T47DPAC cells were derived from T47DPAR cells via continuous exposure of these cells to increasing doses of paclitaxel. The medium was replaced with fresh drug-containing medium 2-3 times a week. Resistance to 5 nM paclitaxel was observed after 6 months, and the cells were allowed to recover from treatment in drug-free medium for at least 1 month before experiments were performed. To confirm the acquisition of a resistant phenotype in T47DPAC cells, we seeded both T47DPAR and T47DPAC cells in 6-well plates at a density of 50,000 cells/well. After 24 hours, both T47DPAR and T47DPAC cells were treated with DMSO (control) or 2 nM paclitaxel for 6 days. Cells were counted using a Cellometer cell counter (Nexcelom Bioscience) for 6 consecutive days. For clonogenic assays, cells were seeded in 60-mm dishes at a density of 1000 cells/dish and treated with 2 nM paclitaxel for 96 hours. Drug-containing medium was then removed, and the cells were allowed to recover in drug-free medium. Dishes were scanned and the number of colonies was observed after 12 days.

Quantify HCT116 Cell Viability

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HCT116 cells were transfected with miR-202-5p mimics or inhibitors for the indicated time period. The cells were then harvested using trypsin and centrifuged at 500 rpm for 3 minutes. Then the cells were re-suspended in fresh medium followed by gentle pipetting to break up clumps. The cell viability was measured via the cell counting assay using a Cellometer Cell Counter (Nexcelom Bioscience, U.S.A.).

Isolation of Human PBMCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Heparinised blood was diluted with PBS at a ratio of 1:1 and overlaid onto Histopaque 1083 (Sigma-Aldrich, Merck) density gradient medium using SepMate™-50 centrifugation tubes (Stem Cell Technologies). Samples were centrifuged at 1500 x g for 30 min at 20°C with the brake off. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were aspirated from the interface and washed twice with PBS centrifuging at 1000 x g for 10 min at 20°C. After the final wash, PBMCs for T-cell ELISpot analysis were resuspended in 3mL in RPMI 1640 medium GlutaMAX™ (ThermoFisher Scientific) only and those for B-cell ELISpot analysis were resuspended in 3mL RPMI 1640 medium GlutaMAX™ (ThermoFisher Scientific) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated horse serum (Gibco™) and 100IU/mL penicillin and 100µg/mL streptomycin (ThermoFisher Scientific). Viable cells were counted using a Cellometer cell counter (Nexcelom Bioscience).

Optimizing T-cell Activation and Expansion

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells that had been previously stored in freezing media were washed with RMPI and then centrifuged at 300 × g at 4°C for 10 min to dilute and remove any residual DMSO prior to resuspending in TexMACS medium (Miltenyi, San Diego, CA, USA), IL-2 (1.022 ng/mL), and 5% Pen-Strep. A bead-antibody cocktail was prepared by combining CD2-biotin, CD3-biotin, and CD28-biotin with anti-biotin MACSiBead particles (Miltenyi Biotec, San Diego, CA, USA) and added to the leukocyte suspension. The cell-bead mixture was plated in 6-well tissue culture-treated plates at a cell density of 1.2 × 105 cells/mL and incubated at 37°C for 24 h. Following incubation, cells were removed from the 6-well plates using trypsin and a cell scraper, and 20 μL of cells were stained with acridine orange and propidium iodide (AOPI) and counted using as Cellometer cell counter (Nexcelom Bioscience, Lawrence, MA, USA). Cells were centrifuged at 300 × g at 4°C for 10 min and resuspended at a density of 2 × 107 cells/mL before being placed in the MACSiMAG Separator (Miltenyi Biotec, San Diego, CA, USA) to remove the MACSiBead particles from the cell suspension prior to adoptive transfer.

Culturing Human and Mouse Bacteroides

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bacteroides ovatus (MDA-HVS BO001) was isolated and cultured from healthy volunteer’s stool samples in a Whitley anaerobic chamber (10% H2, 5% CO2 and 85% N2). Human-derived B. ovatus (ATCC 8483) and human-derived B. theta (ATCC 29148) were purchased from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). Mouse-derived BT (MDA-JAX BT001) was previously isolated15 (link). Bacterial number was quantified using a Nexcelom Cellometer cell counter with SYTO BC dye and propidium iodide. Bacterial growth experiments were performed in a liquid media, BYEM10, composed of a hybrid of BHI and M10 supplemented with yeast extract as previously described15 (link),45 (link). Bacteria were cultured up to 24 or 48 hours at a starting concentration of 1 × 106 bacteria/ml in BYEM10 broth (pH 7.2) with or without 5 mg/ml of porcine gastric mucin (M1778, Sigma-Aldrich), wheat arabionoxylan (wheat flour; low viscosity; Megazyme), xylan (Beechwood; Megazyme), xyloglucan (Tamarind; Megazyme), or starch (wheat; Sigma-Aldrich). Optical densities (OD600 nm) of bacterial cultures were measured with a BioTek Epoch 2 plate reader.

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.
