Biotinylated human CD1a monomers (NIH Tetramer Core Facility) were produced in HEK293-derived cell lines (36 (link), 67 (link)). CD1a (10 ug) was treated with a 100X molar excess of LPC 18:1 or LPC 18:0 (Avanti Polar Lipids) in Tris Buffer saline containing 0.25% CHAPS or vehicle alone (mock) for 16 h at 37 °C, and tetramerised with PE Streptavidin (High Concentration; BioLegend) at a molar ratio of 5:1. T cells (<1x106) were washed twice in FACS staining buffer (BioLegend) at room temperature and stained with 0.5 µl tetramer in 20 µl FACS staining buffer at 37 °C for 30 min with gentle shaking. Anti-CD3 antibody (OKT3; 0.1 µg in 10 µl; BioLegend) was added to the cells and incubated for an additional 10 min at 37 °C with gentle shaking. Tetramers and anti-CD3 antibody were removed before staining surface markers CD3 (UCHT1; BioLegend), CD4, CD8 and Zombie Fixable Viability dyes (BioLegend) for 15 min at 4°C. Cells were washed once and resuspended in FACS buffer and ready for requisition using LSRFortessa X-50 flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) and further analyzed with FlowJo (FlowJo LLC) software.

Characterizing ATX-Inhibitor Interactions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
First, we used the same FS-3 assay as described above, but instead of plasma 10 μL of human recombinant ATX (3, 10 and 30 nM) (Daresbury Proteins Ltd, Warrington, UK) was incubated with FS-3 substrate ± IND (30–300 μM).
In addition, the effect of IND on human recombinant ATX-induced hydrolysis of LPC 18:1 was assessed with the Amplex Red choline release assay. ATX was generated in-house, as described before [43 (link)]. Triplicate wells were loaded with 60 μL of reaction cocktail in ATX assay buffer (50 mM TRIS, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM CaCl2, 30 μM BSA, pH 7.4), with of 10 μM Amplex Red, 1 U/mL horeseradish peroxidase (both from Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and 0.1 U/mL choline oxidase (MP Biomedicals, Irvine, CA, USA), resulting in an overall concentration of 100 μM LPC 18:1 (Avanti Polar Lipids, Alabaster, AL, USA) with 10 nM ATX ± IND (30–300 μM). The fluorescence (λexcitation = 560 nm and λemission = 590 nm) was recorded every 2 min by a FlexStation 3 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader for 240 min (Molecular Devices, San Jose, CA, USA).

Lipid Preparation for Cellular Studies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
LPC 18:1 (Avanti Polar Lipids) in chloroform was aliquoted under argon, evaporated under nitrogen until dry and stored at −20°C under argon until use. LPC aliquots were dissolved in PBS to yield a stock solution (3 mM) and used fresh for every experiment. NaCl, KCl and CaCl2 were from Roth, KH2PO4 and NaHCO3 from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany), MgSO4 was from Fluka and α-D-Glucose was from Sigma-Aldrich.

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.
