Aerosol Tuberculosis Challenge in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
At 12 weeks after boosting with MVA vectors, mice were challenged with 50–100 CFU of aerosolized M. tuberculosis H3Rv strain (ATCC No. 27294, Rockville, MD) in a BSL-3 laboratory using a GlasCol aerosol infection system (Terre Haute, IN), as described elsewhere [17 (link), 19 (link)]. Six weeks later, the mice were euthanized for harvest of lungs and spleens. To determine bacterial loads, harvested organs were homogenized, serially diluted, and plated on Middlebrook 7H10 agar plates containing 10% oleic-acid albumin-dextrose-catalase (OADC – BD, Sparks, MD) and 2 μg/mL of 2-thiophenecarboxylic acid hydrazide (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) to selectively inhibit the growth of residual BCG. The plates were incubated at 37°C for 21 days before colonies were counted.

In vitro Macrophage Infection Assay for Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For in vitro macrophage assays, a log-phase culture of M. tuberculosis was pelleted and resuspended in macrophage culture medium. Bacterial single-cell suspensions were prepared by low speed centrifugation (60g for 8 minutes). The number of M. tuberculosis in the resulting supernatant was estimated by measuring absorbance at 600 nm, followed by infection of macrophages at a MOI of 1, 5, or 10. The infectious dose administered was calculated by plating CFUs from an aliquot of the bacterial suspension. After 4 hours, macrophages were washed 3 times with warm media to remove extracellular bacteria. To estimate intracellular M. tuberculosis growth, infected macrophages were lysed in 0.06% sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) solution at the indicated time points, and serial dilutions of the lysates were plated on 7H10 agar plates (catalog 283810; BD Biosciences) containing glycerol and Middlebrook OADC enrichment (oleic acid-albumin-dextrose-catalase, catalog 212351; BD Biosciences). The number of CFUs was calculated 14 to 21 days later.

M.tb 1,458 strain (GenBank accession no. NZ_CP013475) is a strain of bovine origin isolated by the National Animal Tuberculosis Para-Reference Laboratory (Wuhan) at Huazhong agricultural university, Wuhan, China (Xiong et al., 2017 (link)). BCG Tokyo 172 (ATCC 35737, GenBank accession no.GCA_000010685.1) was a kind gift from Prof. Junyan Liu (School of Basic Medicine Sciences, Wuhan University, China). Both strains were grown in broth medium Middlebrook 7H9 with 10% of oleic acid–albumin–dextrose–catalase (BD, Franklin, NJ, United States), 0.5% glycerol (Sigma–Aldrich), and 0.05% Tween 80 (Sigma–Aldrich) at 37°C. The human acute monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1 (ATCC TIB-202) was cultured in RPMI 1640 medium (HyClone, United States) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco, United States) with 5% CO2 at 37°C.

M. tuberculosis strain H37Rv was grown to mid-log phase in 5 ml of Middlebrook 7H9 (Difco) liquid culture medium supplemented with 0.5% glycerol, 0.15% Tween 80, and 10% oleic acid-albumin-dextrose-catalase (BD Biosciences). Bacteria were then washed twice with 45 ml phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; Gibco). Bacterial density was measured with a spectrophotometer at an absorbance of 600 nm.

For all experiments, M. abscessus ATCC 19977 (American Type Culture Collection) was used. Stock cultures were stored at −80°C in Middlebrook 7H9 broth (BD Difco) supplemented with 10% oleic acid albumin dextrose catalase (BD Biosciences) and 20% glycerol. With each experiment, a fresh vial of bacteria was thawed, centrifuged at 8,000 rpm for 5 min, and the bacterial pellet was resuspended in fresh media. Bacteria were incubated at 37°C for ~24 hours until at logarithmic growth phase prior to diluting for initial inoculum. With the exception of glycerol stocks, all bacterial culture was carried out in Cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton II broth (MH2; Sigma-Aldrich or VWR). Amikacin sulfate powder was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Stock amikacin was stored at 25 mg/mL in sterile ddH2O at −20°C.

Mycobacterium marinum E11 WT, a sea bass isolate of M. marinum, and the ESX‐1 secretion mutant eccCb1::tn, derivative of this strain (esx‐1 mutant), were used in this study (Stoop et al., 2011). M. marinum E11 and eccCb1::tn were transformed by electroporation with pSMT3‐hsp60‐mCherry, to express mCherry, or pSMT3‐hsp60‐mEos3.1 and pSMT3‐hsp60‐mEos3.2, to express mEos3.1 or mEos3.2 respectively. All three plasmids were used to visualise infection in zebrafish larvae and human Cerebral Microvascular Endothelium Cells (hCMEC/D3) infection experiments. Complementation of eccCb1::tn was done by introduction of plasmid pMV‐hsp60‐eccCb1. Transformants were selected on plates with the appropriate antibiotic selection markers (25‐μg/ml kanamycin [Sigma] and/or 50‐μg/ml hygromycin [Roche]). All constructs were confirmed by sequencing of plasmid inserts.
Strains were routinely grown at 30 °C on Middlebrook 7H10 agar plates (Difco) supplemented with 10% oleic acid‐albumin‐dextrose‐catalase (BD Bioscience) or in Middlebrook 7H9 broth (Difco) with 10% Middlebrook albumin‐dextrose‐catalase (BD Bioscience), 0.05% Tween‐80, and the appropriate antibiotic selection marker.

We grew human embryonic kidney 293T cells (ATCC, Manassas, VA), the human monocytic U937 and T-lymphocytic Jurkat cells (ATCC, Manassas, VA), and the chronically infected U1 and J1.1 cells (AIDS Research and Reference Reagent Program, National Institutes of Health) in culture medium as recommended by the ATCC. For differentiation and HIV-1 activation, U937 and U1 cells were treated with 5 ng/ml phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA; Sigma) for 12 h. The bacterial strains used in this study were as follows: M. tuberculosis H37Rv and the field isolates Jal 2287 and MYC 431 (kind gift from Dr. Kanury V.S. Rao, ICGEB, New Delhi, India). Bacteria were grown in Middlebrook 7H9 broth (Difco) supplemented with 10% (v/v) oleic acid albumin dextrose catalase (BD Biosciences), 0.1% (v/v) glycerol, and 0.1% (v/v) Tween 80 until the mid-log phase (A600nm of 0.8). The PMA-differentiated U937 cells were seeded at 2 × 105 cells per well in 24-well plates and infected with M. tuberculosis strains H37Rv, Jal 2287, and MYC 431 at a multiplicity of infection (m.o.i.) of 10 for 4 h. Extracellular bacteria were removed by washing twice with 1× PBS.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Thirteen reference strains from Mycobacterium and three non-mycobacterial bacteria reference strains were used for testing the effect of MTB binding peptide and the new detection method for MTB (Table 1). Briefly, the mycobacteria were incubated in Middlebrook 7H9 broth plus 10% oleic acid-albumin-dextrose-catalase (OADC) (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) (Middlebrook 7H9/OADC broth) to logarithmic phase at 37°C, collected by centrifugation, and washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) twice. Cultures were thoroughly declumped by vortex thrice with several 3 mm glass beads for 2 minutes for the purpose of breaking large clumps and left to set down for 5 minutes. The amount of bacteria in the suspension was tested with the help of the PhoenixSpec NepheloMeter (BD Biosciences) and the accurate count (CFU/mL) was determined by spreading diluted suspensions onto the Middlebrook 7H10/OADC agar plates before detection and incubating for a suitable time at an appropriate temperature, depending on the bacteria species. Cells were then subjected to a water bath at 80°C for 30 minutes to kill the bacteria and were then stored at −20°C. Colonies of three non-mycobacterial bacteria were scraped from the blood plate and processed like mycobacterium.

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.
