Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Brains of P0-3 pups from C57BL/6 mice were used to isolate microglial cells. A single cell suspension was prepared using papain based neural tissue dissociation protocol (Miltenyi Biotec, 130-092-628). Primary microglia were isolated using CD11b Microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec GmbH, 130-093-634) according to the manufacturer’s instruction. The purity of the isolated cells was determined by staining with fluorescently labelled antibodies APC-CD45 and FITC-CD11b (Miltenyi Biotec, 130-091-811 and 130-081-201) and analyzed by Flow Cytometry (purity was approximately 90%). Microglia cells were re-suspended in DMEM/F12 (Gibco, 11320-074) supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco, 10082139), 0.1% nonessential amino acids (Gibco, 11140-050), 0.1% GlutaMAX (Gibco, 35050-038) and 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin and plated into 96 well plates (2×104 cells/well) for cytokine release using Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) or into 12-well plates for RNA isolation.

Cell surface FACS analysis was performed using one million cells from either lung or BALF samples as follows. 7-AAD (420404, Bio Legend) was used to exclude dead cells. Single color tubes were used to set up a compensation matrix and a Fluorescence Minus One (FMO) control was included to ensure specific staining. The antibody staining was done at 4°C for 30 min in staining buffer (1XPBS with 2% FBS). The following anti-rat antibodies were used: APC CD45 (17-0461-82, Miltenyi), PE/CY7 CD11b (201818, Bio Legend), FITC-MHC II (205405, Bio Legend). Cell surface ACE analysis was performed using rabbit anti–rat ACE (MA5–32741, Thermo Fisher) primary antibody and goat anti-rabbit IgG-Pacific Blue (P-10994, Thermo Fisher) secondary. Sample data were acquired on a MACSQuant 10 Analyzer Flow Cytometer (Miltenyi) and analyzed using FlowJo software version 10.0 (BD Life Sciences). To verify gating and purity, all populations were routinely backgated.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All animals were cared for in a specific pathogen-free room and treated following the animal care protocol approved by an animal committee. Mouse LLC1 (1 × 106) cells were subcutaneously injected into 8-week-old -C57BL/6 mice. After one week of inoculation, the mice were intraperitoneally administered melatonin (30 mg/kg, three times per week) for 4 weeks. The tumor volume and mice body weights were monitored every 2 days during the experiments. Tumor volume was calculated using the following equation: length × (width)2 × 0.5. To analyze tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), freshly isolated tumor tissue was cut into small pieces and disassociated by the gentleMACS tumor dissociation kit (Miltenyi Biotec). The suspension was further treated with a RBC lysis buffer to remove red blood cells. Approximate 1 × 106 isolated cells were incubated with fluorophore-conjugated antibodies including CD45-APC, CD11b-PE, CD3-FITC, CD8-APC-Vio770, Ly6G-FITC, CD4-PE-Vio770, and F4/80-APC (Miltenyi Biotec) and analyzed by the BD FACSVia flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) [43 (link)].

Animal studies were approved by the state animal research committee (LANUV, NRW, Germany) and all animals were cared for according to the guidelines set by the Federation of European Laboratory Animal Science Associations. Six- to 8-week-old female NOD.Cg-PrkdcSCIDIl2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ (NOD-SCID gamma; NSG) mice (Charles River Laboratories, Sulzfeld, Germany) were intravenously engrafted with 3.5 × 106 MOLM-14 cells stably expressing a firefly luciferase-EGFP fusion protein (LucEG). Six days later, mice were intravenously injected with 3.5 × 106 N3-, N4-, or CD8-hinged CD19 or CD33 CAR T cells. At days 6, 13, 20, 27, and 34, the persistence of MOLM-14 cells was assessed via luminescence imaging and PB analysis. For luminescence imaging, mice were intraperitoneally injected with D-luciferin (OZ Biosciences SAS, Marseilles, France) and after 5 min luminescence was measured in a Caliper IVIS Lumina II system (PerkinElmer LAS, Rodgau, Germany) with an exposure time of 15 s. PB was drawn from the tail vein, the erythrocytes lysed with BD Pharm Lyse (BD Biosciences), and the samples analyzed on a MACSQuant Analyzer X flow cytometer for EGFP, CD33, and CD45 expression for MOLM-14 cells and BFP, CAR (ΔNGFR), CD3, and CD45 expression for CAR T cells after staining with CD271-PE, CD3-PerCP-Vio700, CD45-APC, and CD33-APC-Vio770 (all from Miltenyi Biotec)

K562-luc2 cells were thawed from cryopreservation 48h before tumor injections and maintained at 37°C, 5% CO2 in Iscove’s DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and 8µg/mL blasticidin for 2 days. On the day of tumor injections, K562-luc2 cells were removed from culture, washed three times with sterile PBS, and resuspended at a concentration of 1x106 cells/200µL in sterile saline. Cryopreserved PBMCs were thawed in a 37°C water bath for two minutes or until a small ball of ice remained in solution. PBMCs were resuspended in 5mL RPMI + 10% FBS. A small aliquot (50 µL) was taken, and cells were labeled with monoclonal antibodies (CD8-VioBlue, CD14-VioGreen, CD3-FITC, CD4-PE, CD20-PerCP, CD45-APC, CD56-APC-Vio770 (Miltenyi Biotec) for surface staining prior to injection. The remaining cells were supplemented with IL-15 (0.1mg/mL) and incubated for 1 hour at 37°C, 5% CO2 to improve activation and recovery of NK cells functions. After incubation, PBMCs were washed three times with PBS to remove all RPMI media and then resuspended at a concentration of 10x106 PBMCs/200µL sterile filtered saline for injections.

Single cell suspension from fresh brain tissue was created using Adult Brain Dissociation Kit (Milteny Biotec, 130-107-677) and the GentleMACS Milteny Biotec), as described before [7, (link)31] according to the manufacturer´s protocol. Afterwards, the cells were resuspended in FACS staining buffer (PBS 1X + 1% FCS + 0.1% Na-Azide) and stained for 30 min against mouse CD11b-PerCP-Vio700 Clone REA592 (1:50), CD45-APC (1:50), CD68-PE Clone REA835 (1:50) (Milteny Biotec) in a 96-well plate. The flow cytometry was conducted using BD ® LSR II Flow Cytometer and analyzed with FlowJo Software (version 10.8.1). Briefly, in the FACS analysis, forward scatter (FSC) and side scatter (SSC) parameters were used to select the region of interest (ROI), focusing on single cells and excluding doublets to capture individual microglia populations. Within these ROIs, cells were analyzed for CD11b and CD45 expression to distinguish microglia (CD11b + /CD45 low ) from other monocytes (minimum number of cells: 100.000). Microglia were further analyzed for CD68 expression, a marker for reactive microglia.

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.
