Briefly, PBMCs were washed and pelleted. Each PMBC sample was labelled with an antibody mix (anti-CD16-FITC, anti-CD25-PE, anti-CD14-PE-Cy7, anti-CD19-APC, and anti-CD3-APC-Cy7, all from BD, and 7-aminoactinomycin D from Life Technologies) and incubated for 20 min. Next, cells were washed and acquired in a Guava EasyCyte 8HT flow cytometer (Millipore, Merk, Madrid, Spain). Single staining and isotype controls were used to set the gating strategy. The percentage of each cell population of PBMCs (T, B, NK cells, and monocytes), their activation, and cell viability were analyzed.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Freshly isolated small intestines of BC57BL/6 mice were flushed with PBS and incised along their length. The tissue was then incubated in 30mM EDTA (Sigma) in HBSS pH 7.4 (Life Technologies) on ice, and transferred in DMEM (Life Technologies) supplemented with 10% FBS (Sigma). Vigorous shaking yielded epithelial fraction that was then incubated with 100ul of Dispase (BD Biosciences) in 10 ml of HBSS, supplemented with 100ul of DNAse I at 2000 Kunitz (Sigma). Single cell preparation obtained by filtration on a 30 uM mesh was incubated with a Phycoerythrin Rat anti-mouse Siglec-F antibody for 30 minutes at 4°C (BD pharmigen 552126), washed with HBSS and resuspended in appropriate volume of HBSS pH 7.4 supplemented with 5% FBS before staining with 7-AminoActinomycin D (Life Technologies) to exclude dead cells. Siglec-F+ live cells were sorted using a FACSAria (Becton Dickinson).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mouse (KP1) and human (NJH29, NCI-H82 and NCI-H187) SCLC cell lines were grown in RPMI-1640 media supplemented with 10% bovine growth serum (BGS) (Fisher Scientific) and penicillin-streptomycin-glutamine (Gibco), as described before50 . KP1, NJH29 were generated at Stanford. NCI-H82 and NCI-H187 were purchased from ATCC. These cells grow as suspension spheres or aggregates in culture. All cell lines were maintained at 37 °C in a humidified chamber with 5% CO2. All cell lines tested negative for mycoplasma infection. For transient expression of Notch ICD, cells were trypsinized and transfected with either MigR1-IRES-GFP (Ctrl) or MigR1-Notch1-ICD-IRES-GFP (NICD) using Lipofectamine 2000 (Life Technologies). The plasmids were gifts from W.S. Pear (University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia). Then 48 h after transfection, cells were trypsinized and resuspended in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 10% BGS and 1 µg ml−1 7-aminoactinomycin D (Life Technologies) that labels dead cells. Live GFP+ cells were then sorted for subsequent experiments using a BD FACSAria fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) machine.

Phagocytic activity of SLN LCs was examined with FITC-Dextran assay [21 (link)]. SLN cells were collected as described above and re-suspended in complete medium. Briefly, each SLN sample was divided into two aliquots: the first, indicated as t = 0, was processed immediately; the latter, indicated as t = 24, was cultured for 24 h with the following pro-inflammatory cytokines: IL-1β (10 ng/ml), IL-6 (1000 U/ml) and TNF-α (10 ng/ml), all from R & D Systems (Minneapolis, MN), for phagocytic activity inhibition induced by maturation. Both samples were further incubated at 0 °C (on ice) and 37 °C for 10 min and then pulsed with 40,000 m.w. FITC-conjugated Dextran (1 mg/ml; Life Technologies) for 45 min, both at 0 °C and 37 °C. After washing steps with cold PBS, cells were labelled with anti Langerin PE-conjugated mAbs for 15 min at room temperature without fixation and permeabilization. To exclude dead cells, 7-aminoactinomycin D (7-AAD; Life Technologies) was used. Cells were then analyzed by flow cytometry, using FACS Canto and FACSDiva software, version 6.0 (Becton Dickinson Immunocytometry Systems, San Jose, CA). Results are expressed as mean fluorescence intensity (MFI). Cells incubated at 0 °C represent assay internal control, with no phagocytic activity.

Apoptotic potential for irisin against PC-3 was evaluated using flow cytometry. PC-3 cells were treated with ≈2 × IC50 (100 nmol/L) irisin for 24, 48, and 72 h. Cells were then harvested, suspended in 500 μL Annexin binding buffer (ABB), and either incubated with 5 μL/mL Annexin-APC (Annexin-V conjugated to allophycocyanin, Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY, USA) for 15 min or stained by adding 1 μL/mL of 7-aminoactinomycin D (7-AAD) Life Technologies (Grand Island, NY, USA) and incubated in ice for 45 min. Treated samples and controls were analyzed using FACSCanto-II (BD-BioSciences, San Jose, CA, USA) at the College of Pharmacy, King Saud University. APC was excited with a 635 nm laser and detected at 660 nm for Annexin-V and with a 488 nm laser and detected at 660 nm for 7-AAD Assay.

Mice were sacrificed by dislocation of the neck. BM cells were isolated from the tibia, femur and sternum of both hind legs, by crushing bones in PBS (Sigma) supplemented with 2% Fetal Calf Serum (FCS (Sigma) or STEMCELL Technologies (SCT)). Samples were filtered through 20‐μm sterile filters before further processing. Red cell lysis was performed using ammonium chloride (NH4Cl, SCT) and HSPC were enriched by magnet separation using EasySep Mouse Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell Enrichment Kit (SCT). ESLAM Sca‐1+ cells were isolated by fluorescence‐activated cell sorting (FACS) using CD45 BV421 (Clone 30‐F11, Biolegend), CD150 PE/Cy7 (Clone TC15‐12F12.2, Biolegend), CD48 APC (Clone HM48‐1, Biolegend), Sca‐1 BV605 (Clone D7, Biolegend), EPCR PE (Clone RMEPCR1560, SCT), and 7‐Aminoactinomycin D (7AAD; Life Technologies). The cells were sorted on an Influx (BD) using the following filter sets 530/40 (for Fgd5), 585/29 (for PE), 670/30 (for APC), 460/50 (for BV421), 670/30 (for 7AAD), and 610/20 (for BV605). When single HSCs were required, the single‐cell deposition unit of the sorter was used to place 1 cell per well into 96‐well plates, each well having been preloaded with 50 μl or 100 μl medium. E14.5 FLs were prepared and stained as above and analyzed as above.

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.
