HEK293A (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and Surf4KO HEK293A cells (see following subsection, Generation of Surf4KO HEK293A cells) were maintained in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM, Thermo Fisher Scientific) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Sigma), GlutaMAX (2 mM, Thermo Fisher Scientific), penicillin 100 (IU/mL), and streptomycin (100μg/mL). Expression constructs were transfected into cells using Lipofectamine 2000 reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Briefly, 5×105 cells/well were plated into 6-well plates. After overnight culture (60%–80% confluent), cells were transfected with 2μg of plasmid DNA preincubated with 4μL Lipofectamine 2000 in Opti-MEM (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Transient expression of proteins was analyzed 16–24 hr posttransfection as noted.

Vero (CCL-81) cells were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, USA). Rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cells and Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells were obtained from the Bioresource Collection and Research Center (BCRC), Hsinchu, Taiwan. Human embryonic kidney 293 adherent cells (HEK293A) were purchased from Invitrogen (Cat. R70507). Vero, RD and MDCK cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM, Gibco) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). HEK293A were recovered in DMEM+10%FBS and adapted into serum-free medium using FreeStyle 293 medium (Gibco) with 1x cell culture media supplement (ITSE + A, InVitria) in roller bottle culture and BalanCD HEK293 medium (FUJIFILM Irvine Scientific) in suspension culture. The cell density was counted by a hemocytometer. The CVA10 (strain M2014) and CVA6 (strain M0746) were obtained from National Cheng Kung University Hospital, Taiwan. The EV-A71 (strain E59) was obtained from the Center of Disease Control, Taiwan. These virus stocks were prepared from the supernatants of infected RD cells at 3 days post-infection (DPI). The titers of virus were determined by the median tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50) assay.

Isolation and Cultivation of PBMCs and Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) were a gift from Dr. June Kant-Mitchell; these cells had been collected from healthy volunteers, who had provided written informed consent according to a previously approved protocol at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), and kept frozen as 1 mL aliquots at approximately 1 × 106 cells per mL at − 80 °C, with each vial corresponding to cells from one volunteer only. Approval for the use of the PBMCs was obtained from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) Committee at UTEP as well as from the granting institution, U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command, Office of Research Protections, Human Research Protection Office. When needed, the PBMCs were thawed and directly used for RNA purification as described below. A total of three different vials, from three different individuals, were used in these studies. Human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293A) were from Invitrogen (ThermoFisher Scientific, Inc., Waltham, MA). A549 and Calu-3 cells were from ATCC (American Type Culture Collection). HEK293A, A549, and Calu-3 cells were grown at 37 °C, 5% CO2, in 1 × Complete Medium consisting of 1 × DMEM containing high glucose, pyruvate, and GlutaMAX™ (Gibco™, ThermoFisher Scientific, Inc.), supplemented with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum.

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.
