Isolation and Culture of PBMCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood from donors was collected and processed within 2 h. PBMCs were separated using Histopaque 1077 at room temperature (Sigma-Aldrich) and following the protocol for mononuclear cell separation of SepMate-50 tubes (StemCells). Cells were resuspended in complete RPMI-1640 medium (10% Fetal bovine serum, 1% sodium pyruvate, 1% HEPES and 1% l-glutamine; cRPMI) (GIBCO), counted and plated in 24-well plates at a concentration of 0.5 × 106  cell mL–1 in 500 μl of cRPMI.
CD14 + cells were isolated from cryopreserved PBMCs. PBMCs were magnetic labeled with CD14 MicroBeads (Miltenyi Biotec) and isolated through positive selection using MACS Separation Columns MS (Miltenyi Biotec), according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Purified cells (~95% pure) were counted and plated in 96 well plates at a concentration of 0.5 × 106  cell mL–1 in 200 μl of cRPMI (GIBCO).

Isolation of Murine Microglia

Mice were anesthetized and perfused intracardially with ice-cold Dulbecco’s phosphate-buffered saline to harvest brains. After the subsequent tissue dissociation, debris removal and red blood cell removal procedures, Adult Brain Dissociation Kit (130-107-677, Miltenyi Biotec) was used to generate single-cell suspension. Microglia were further isolated from the single-cell suspension using MACS Separation Columns (MS) (130-042-201, Miltenyi Biotec) and magnetic CD11b Microbeads (130-093-634, Miltenyi Biotec).

To enrich extracted cell populations for ductal cell extracts, DBA Lectin sorting was completed. Cells were isolated from a mouse pancreata as described above and suspended with 1:200 diluted DBA lectin–FITC (Vector Labs, cat. no. FL-1031) and incubated for 10 min in the dark at 4 °C on a rotor. Cells were washed with 700 μl of separation buffer (PBS, 0.5% BSA, and 2mM EDTA) and centrifuged for 10 min at 300g at 4 °C. The pellet was resuspended in 90 μl of separation buffer and 10 μl of anti-FITC MicroBeads (Miltenyi Biotec, cat. no. 130-048-701) and incubated on a rotor at 4 °C for 15 min. The cells were washed with 1mL of sorting buffer (PBS 0.5% BSA, 2mM EDTA) and the pellet (300g for 10 min) was resuspended in 500 μl of sorting buffer. MACS Separation (MS) columns (Miltenyi Biotec, cat. no. 130-042-201) were prepared by running 500 μl of chilled sorting buffer and then the labeled cell suspensions (500 μl) were applied to the column. The columns were washed three times with 500 μl of buffer and the flow through was collected as the DBA lectin–negative fraction. The column was removed from the magnetic field and 1,000 μl of separation buffer was then added with a plunger to collect the DBA lectin–positive fraction. The samples were spun down (300g for 15 min at 4 °C) and the pellets used for downstream applications.

Comprehensive Immunophenotyping of Murine Hematopoietic Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood, BM cells and splenocytes were collected as previously described19 (link),40 (link). The different cell samples (0.5–2 × 106 cells) were stained for the indicated surface markers (see Supplemental Table S2 online) for 20 min at room temperature and subsequently washed twice with buffer A. We distinguished live and dead cells by adding SYTOX Green (S7020, Life Technologies) or DAPI (D9542, Sigma-Aldrich) 5 min before FACS analysis. Haematopoietic progenitors were isolated from the spleen and BM by magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) using a Lineage Cell Depletion Kit (130-090-858, Miltenyi) and MACS separation MS columns (130-042-201, Miltenyi) prior staining. Unstained cells were used as a negative control to establish the flow cytometer voltage settings, and single-colour positive controls were used to adjust compensation. The absolute number of cells was calculated by adding Perfect-Count Microspheres (CYT-PCM-100, Cytognos) to the flow cytometry samples. Apoptosis, cell cycle, and cell proliferation were determined by flow cytometry as previously described19 (link),40 (link). The flow cytometry data were acquired using a FACSCanto II and analysed with FACSDiva (Becton and Dickinson) or FlowJo software.

Isolation and Culture of Hematopoietic Progenitors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Haematopoietic progenitors were isolated from the BM of DsRed+Wt and Map3k8−/− mice by magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) using a LIN lineage depletion kit (containing antibodies against CD5, CD11b, GR-1, 7-4, and Ter119) and MACS separation MS columns (Miltenyi). Isolated LIN DsRed+Wt and Map3k8−/− cells (2,500) were plated at a 1:1 ratio in a well with methylcellulose medium, which contains insulin, H transferrin, stem cell factor, IL-3, and IL-6 (MethoCult GF M3534, StemCell Technologies) in the presence or absence of LPS (500 ng/ml). After six days of incubation at 37 °C in an atmosphere containing 5% CO2, the cells were harvested and subjected to FACS analysis with Perfect-Count microspheres.

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.
