Formation of Fluorescent DOPC SUVs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SUVs composed of 99% 18:1 DOPC (1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) and 1% Atto633-DOPE (Atto633–1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamin) were formed by mixing the lipids dissolved in CHCl3 in a glass vial and subsequent solvent evaporation under a stream of nitrogen gas. The glass vial was then placed under a vacuum for 30 min to remove residual traces of solvent. Afterwards, the lipids were resuspended in phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4 (Thermo Fisher) at a final concentration of 1 mM lipids. The solution was vortexed for 10 min to trigger liposome formation. SUVs were then formed by extruding the liposome solution 13 times through a polycarbonate filter with a pore size of 50 nm (Avanti Polar Lipids). The SUVs were stored at 4 °C until use.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PMVECs from both male and female Fischer and male Sprague-Dawley rats were grown to 24 h post-confluence. The monolayer from an identically seeded counting plate was trypsinized and cells were counted with a Countess II Automated Cell Counter (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, cat. no. AMQAX1000) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Bacteria from overnight Vogel-Bonner plates were suspended in 1x Phosphate Buffered Saline pH 7.4 (Invitrogen; Carlsbad, CA, cat. no. 10010–049) to an OD540 of 0.25, previously determined to represent 2 × 108 CFUs/mL, and diluted to an MOI of 20:1 in HBSS (Invitrogen; Carlsbad, CA, cat. no. 14025–134). Infected monolayers were incubated (37°C and 5% CO2) for 4 h (PA103 and ΔPcrV), 5 h (PAO1, PA-808), or 7 h (ExoY+, ExoYK81M). Supernatants were then collected, centrifuged at 4000 x g, and sterilized via passage through a PES 0.22 μm filter (EMD Millipore, Burlington, MA, cat. no. SLGP033RS). Vehicle control supernatant was generated as described for bacterial infection except bacteria were excluded from the PBS/HBSS solution used to treat the monolayers.

Thioflavin T Amyloid Fibrillization Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Thioflavin T (ThT) is a light-sensitive stain that is often used to study amyloid fibrilization kinetics or as an end-point read out to assess the quantity of fibrillar amyloid species in a given sample (50 (link)). A 25 mM ThT (Acros Organics; Geel, Belgium, cat. no. AC211760250) stock solution was prepared in 100% ethanol, vortexed thoroughly, and passed through a 0.22 μm syringe filter to remove clumps. Black clear-bottomed Corning Costar 96-well polystyrene plates (Corning Inc.; Corning, NY, cat. no. 3603) were used for assays. Supernatant samples were prepared as detailed for ‘Protein analysis’ and supernatants were diluted into 200 μL of 1x Phosphate Buffered Saline pH 7.4 (Invitrogen; Carlsbad, CA, cat. no. 10010–049) to a protein concentration of 5 mg/mL. ThT from the 25 mM stock solution was added to wells just prior to reading the plate at a final concentration of 0.49 μM. Fluorescence was measured on a Molecular Devices Spectramax iD5 Multi-Mode Microplate reader (425 excitation; 490 emission), 1 min orbital shaking prior to read, high gain, 400 ms integration time.

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.
