Mycobacterial Adhesion to Erythrocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The adhesion rate was determined by dividing the number of mycobacteria bound to erythrocytes by the total number of mycobacteria inoculated in each well. We cocultured human erythrocytes with MAH organisms in medium supplemented with untreated or heat-treated serum for 1 h at 37°C, followed by washing erythrocytes with saline and centrifugation at 800 × g for 8 min at 4°C, three or four times. After washing, the erythrocytes were hemolyzed, and mycobacterial cell counts were assayed by determining the CFU. Erythrocytes were preincubated with 10 μg/mL of anti-human CR1 antibody or control antibody (IgGk) and complement components 3 or 2 for 30 min prior to the infection with MAH. For sialidase treatment, erythrocytes were incubated with 150 mU/mL sialidase (11080725001, Roche) at 37°C overnight, followed by washing the erythrocytes.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RBC-NPs were first prepared with 100 nm PLGA cores and RBC membrane vesicles. For glycoprotein quantification, proteins exposed on the RBC-NP surfaces were trypsinized by incubating 1 mL of 1 mg mL−1 RBC-NPs with 5 μg of trypsin (G-Biosciences, St. Louis, MO) at room temperature for 2 h. Sialic acid removal from RBC-NPs was performed by incubating 1 mL of 1 mg mL−1 of RBC-NPs in water with 100 units of sialidase (Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN) at room temperature for 2 h. The samples were then centrifuged at 200,000 × g for 45 min using an Optima L-90K Ultracentrifuge (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA), and the supernatant was collected and examined for glycoprotein and sialic acid content. To quantify glycoprotein, the supernatant was examined using Glycoprotein Detection Reagent (Thermo Scientific) following manufacturer’s instructions. To quantify sialic acid, the supernatant was examined using Sialic Acid Quantification Kit (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) following the manufacturer’s instructions. Equivalent amounts of RBC ghosts and bare PLGA cores were used as a positive and a negative control, respectively.

Sialidase Treatment for Lectin Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Single cells were resuspended in sodium citrate buffer (pH 6) and treated with 0.5 units/ml sialidase from C. perfringens (Roche) in sodium citrate buffer (pH 6) for 1 h at 37°C. After treatment, cells were washed with serum-free medium or cold PBS, for cell attachment assays or flow cytometry, respectively. For the specificity of the lectins in the lectin blot analysis, part of the membrane was treated with sialidase for 16 h at 37°C.

Anti-inflammatory Effects of sSiglec-9

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine whether sialic acid and C-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2) were required to induce the anti-inflammatory effects of sSiglec-9, we used sialidase [23 (link)] (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) to remove sialic acid and RS504393 (R&D Systems), a selective CCR2 antagonist, to inhibit the CCR2/CCL2 signaling pathway [24 ]. RAW264.7 cells were preincubated with 15 mU/300 μl sialidase for 1 h and 50 μM RS504393 for 20 minutes before stimulation.

Desialylation of Mouse Transferrin

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To study the effects of sialylation on glycoprotein structure, fully sialylated mouse transferrin was de-sialylated by using Sialidase of neuraminidase under native conditions. Neuraminidase (Sialidase, from C. Perfringens 11585886001 Roche) was supplied by Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). First, we dissolved/reconstituted the enzyme to 5 mL water (Sialidase concentration: 1 U/mL). Then, a volume of 100 μL glycoprotein (mouse transferrin, 1 mg mL−1 in 100 mM NH4OAc, pH 7) was added to a 600 μL EP tube. Then 25 μL Sialidase (1 U/mL) was added, while for the control group, 25 μL NaOAc (0.1 M, pH 5) was added instead. After vortex mixing, parafilm sealing, the mixtures were incubated in water bath at 37 °C for 5 h. The de-sialylation was stopped with the addition of 25 μL NaHCO3 (0.5 M). After de-sialylation, proteins were buffer-exchanged into 100 mM NH4OAc with Amicon Ultra-0.5 Centrifugal Filter Devices (30 K MWCO: UFC503024, Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO)) following supplier’s standard procedures.

MARC-145 cells were treated with sialidase (Roche, Switzerland) from Arthrobacter ureafaciens (10 U/mL), Vibrio cholerae (1 U/mL), and Clostridium perfringens (5 U/mL), following a 2-fold serial dilution from 500 mU/mL in DMEM. Prior to ShaV infection, cell monolayers in 96-well plates were incubated with 100 μL of diluted sialidases at the indicated concentrations for 1 h at 37°C. After washing with Dulbecco’s phosphate-buffered saline (DPBS), cells were inoculated with ShaV at an MOI of 0.1 or 1 for 1 h at 37°C. The mock controls were treated with DMEM only. The cells were then washed with DPBS and maintained in DMEM (2.5% FBS) for 12 h. The experiments were repeated six times (n = 6).

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.
