PBMC were cultured (2 x 106 viable cells/mL) in complete media containing Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) 1640 medium (Sigma, St. Loius, MO, USA) with 10% FBS (Atlanta Biologicals, Flowery Branch, GA, USA), 23.8mM sodium bicarbonate (Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), 7.5 mM HEPES (Amresco, Framingham, MA, USA), 170 μM Penicillin G (Tokyo Chemical Industry, Portland, OR, USA), 137 μM Streptomycin (Sigma, Burlington, MA, USA), 50 μM β-mercaptoethanol (Sigma, Burlington, MA, USA), 1 mM sodium pyruvate (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), essential amino acid solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), non-essential amino acid solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), 500 ng/mL R848 (Invivogen, San Diego, CA, USA) and 5 ng/mL rIL-2 (R&D, Minneapolis, MN, USA) for 7–9 days at 37°C in 5% CO2 [63 (link), 81 (link)]. Conditioned medium supernatants were harvested and evaluated for total and rHA-specific IgG abundance by ELISA starting at a 1:5 dilution. Frequency of B cells amongst total viable PBMC was assessed by CD19 surface labeling and flow cytometry analysis.

In vitro Embryo Culture and Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Presumptive zygotes 6 h post-insemination (hpi) were washed three times with modified synthetic oviduct fluid [33 (link)] supplemented with 20 µl/ml of
essential amino acid solution (50 ×; GibcoTM), 10 µl/ml of non-essential amino acid solution (100 ×; GibcoTM), and 5% FBS, and cultured in 250-µl microdrops of the same
medium at 39.0°C in 5% CO2, 5% O2, and 90% N2 atmosphere (20–30 zygotes per microdrop under mineral oil). Day 0 was defined as the day of the IVF/ICSI. The
number of zygotes cleaving was recorded on Day 2 (48 hpi), and the number of zygotes developing to the blastocyst stage was recorded on Day 7 (168 hpi) and Day 8 (192 hpi). Blastocysts were
qualitatively analyzed based on developmental kinetics (% Day 7 blastocysts per total harvest) and developmental stage (unexpanded, expanding, or hatched blastocysts on Day 8).

The culture medium was modified synthetic oviduct fluid [28 (link), 29 (link)] supplemented with 20 µl/ml essential amino
acid solution (50 × Gibco BRL), 10 µl/ml non-essential amino acid solution (100 × Gibco BRL), 1 mM glycine, 2 mM taurine, ITS supplement (final concentrations of 5 µg/ml insulin, 5 µg/ml
transferrin, and 5 ng/ml selenium; Sigma-Aldrich), and 6 mg/ml fatty acid-free BSA (Sigma-Aldrich). Sperm-injected oocytes were cultured in groups of 10–15 in 50 µl drops of modified
synthetic oviduct fluid medium at 38.5°C in a 5% CO2, 5% O2, and 90% N2 atmosphere. Cleavage rates and blastocyst formation rates were assessed at 72 h and
192 h after ICSI.

The culture medium was modified synthetic oviduct fluid (mSOF) [24 (link),
25 (link)] supplemented with 20 μl/ml essential amino acid solution (50 ×,
Gibco BRL), 10 μl/ml nonessential amino acid solution (100 ×, Gibco BRL), 1 mM glycine, 2 mM taurine, ITS
supplement (final concentrations of 5 μg/ml insulin, 5 μg/ml transferrin and 5 ng/ml selenium; Sigma-Aldrich)
and 6 mg/ml fatty acid-free BSA (Sigma-Aldrich). ICSI and IVF oocytes were cultured in groups of 10–15 in
50-μl drops of mSOF medium at 38.5 C in an atmosphere containing 5% CO2, 5% O2 and 90%
N2. Cleavage rates and blastocyst formation rates were assessed at 72 h and 192 h, respectively,
after both ICSI and IVF.

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.
