MDCK cells are a well-established cell line derived from the kidney of a normal adult female cocker spaniel. These cells are commonly used in research to study various biological processes, including cell signaling, protein trafficking, and virus-host interactions. The MDCK cell line maintains a stable epithelial phenotype and is a widely utilized model system for studying cell polarity and tight junction formation.

Influenza Virus Propagation and Titration

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Influenza A/Puerto Rico/8/1934 (H1N1) (A/PR/8/34) virus was obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). Influenza A/Chicken/México/31381-7/1994 (H5N2) was donated by A. Aguilar Setien. Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells (ATCC, Manassas, VA, UAS) were maintained in Dubelco Eagle’s Minimum Essential Medium supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum and a mixture of antibiotics and antimycotics (100 U of penicillin, 0.1 mg of streptomycin, and 0.25 μg of amphotericin B/mL). The supernatants of the infected cultures were obtained after 96 h post-infection, clarified by centrifugation at low speed and stored at −70 °C for further use. Viral inoculum was titrated through the formation of lytic plaques in the same cell line using the conventional method in medium solidified with 0.5% agarose and stained with violet crystal [69 (link)]. Titers were reported in plaque forming units per milliliter (PFU/mL).

Antiviral Efficacy of PPa Against Influenza Strains

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MDCK cells (ATCC) were cultured in 96-wellg plates (2 × 104 cells/well) for 24 h. A series of double-diluted PPa solutions was pre-incubated with 100 TCID50 of the virus at 37 °C for 30 min, and these cells were incubated with a virus-compound mixture for 1 h after two washes with PBS. Then, 1 μg/mL of TPCK-trypsin (trypsin treated with TPCK, Sigma, USA) in serum-free DMEM was added to the cells. Next, cell viability was measured using the MTT method at 48 h after the infection. S-KKWK [17] (link) was used as a positive control, and the experiment was independently repeated at least three times. Virus subtypes such as the A/FM-1/1/47 (H1N1) mouse-adapted strain, A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (H1N1), A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (H1N1) with the NA-H274Y mutation, and A/Aichi/2/68 (H3N2) were selected to evaluate the antiviral effects of PPa.

MDCK cells (ATCC) at 80% confluency where trypsinized for 12 minutes,
then 4 ml of DMEM (Genesee) containing 10% FBS (GIBCO) was added to neutralize
the trypsin. That volume was then spun down at 200 RPM for 5 minutes, the media
decanted, and then resuspended in 1ml of PBS (Fisher) containing 3% FBS.

Madin‐Darby canine kidney cells (MDCK cells, ATCC) were maintained in Eagle's minimum essential media (Wisent), 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Wisent), and penicillin (100 UI/mL)/streptomycin (100 μg/mL; P/S, Wisent). Influenza A/Ontario/2016 (H1N1)‐like and influenza A/Ontario/2016 (H3N2)‐like viruses were obtained from clinical samples at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre (Toronto, Canada) and subsequently passaged and plaque‐purified.35 These were used for artificial aerosolization experiments. Ferrets were inoculated with egg‐passaged influenza A/California/07/2009 virus (Cal/09).

Virus Titration via ELISA and EID50 Assays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) was used to measure TCID50 titers as previously reported [19 (link)], MDCK cells (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) were grown on 96-well flat-bottom microplates at 37 °C with 5% CO2. MDCK cells with 80–90% confluence were washed with 1× concentrated PBS and then inoculated with serial 10-fold dilutions of virus suspensions in media containing 1 µg/mL of TPCK-trypsin. Virus-infected cells were incubated at 37 °C with 5% CO2 for 72 h. Next, the TCID50 titers were determined via the Reed and Muench method [20 (link)]. To determine EID50, the allantoic cavities of 10-day-old SPF ECEs were inoculated with 100 μL serial 10-fold dilutions of the viruses, using 5 eggs for each dilution. The eggs were incubated at 37 °C for 96 h. Allantoic fluid was harvested and tested using HA assays [21 ], and EID50 calculation of viruses was completed using the Reed and Muench method [20 (link)].

Propagation and Inactivation of Pandemic Swine Flu Virus

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A strain of 2009 pandemic swine flu (H1N1 A/Auckland/3/2009) was obtained from the World Health Organization (WHO Melbourne) in 2010. Viral stocks were propagated in Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA), as previously described[17 (link)–19 (link)]. Stock viral concentrations were measured using plaque assays; which determines live virions based on plaque forming units per ml (pfu/ml)[17 (link)–19 (link)]. Ultra-violet (UV) inactivation of live viruses was achieved by placing live viruses directly under a UV lamp (254nm) for 3hrs. Successful inactivation was confirmed by plaque assays.

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.
