Anti–HLA-DP (HL-38, Sigma-Aldrich), anti–HLA-DP-DQ-DR (WR18, Bio-Rad), anti-rat RT1B (OX-6, BD Biosciences), anti–MHC class II (M5/114.15.2, eBioscience), anti-TSHR (2C11, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), anti-His (9F2, Wako), and anti-Flag (purified IgG, M2, Sigma-Aldrich) Abs were used for flow cytometry. anti-Flag (biotin-conjugated, M2, Sigma-Aldrich) and anti-His (28-75, Wako) Abs were used for immunoprecipitation. anti-Flag (purified IgG, M2, Sigma-Aldrich) and anti-His (9F2, Wako) Abs were used for Western blotting. Anti–HLA-DP (E-20, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and anti-TSHR (HPA026680, Sigma-Aldrich) polyclonal Abs were used for immunofluorescence staining and PLA. To produce human anti-TSHR mAbs, the V regions of the mAbs were synthesized according to the published sequence (accession numbers: M22 heavy chain, 3G04_B; λ chain, 3G04_A; K1-18 heavy chain, AMF37397; λ chain, AMF37401; K1-70 heavy chain, 2XWT_A; and λ chain, 2XWT_B). For germlined K1-18, some mutants were generated using the QuikChange Multi Mutagenesis Kit (Agilent Technologies) from wild-type K1-18 V regions (heavy chain, N31S, Y54G, and V97A; λ chain, N31S and N32S). These V regions were cloned into pME18S expression vectors containing the secreted form of IgG1 constant region as previously described (14 (link)). HEK293T cells were purchased from RIKEN Cell Bank.

Human embryonic kidney HEK293T cells (RIKEN Cell Bank) were maintained in 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS)‐containing Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10 μg/ml penicillin‐streptomycin solution. Cells were cultured at 37°C under 5% CO2 in humidified conditions.
Transfection of HEK293T cells was performed as follows: cells were plated in a cell culture dish or multi‐well plate and cultured overnight. The next day, the cells were transfected using 25‐kDa branched polyethyleneimine (PEI, Sigma). The ratio of plasmid DNA to PEI was 1: 4 (weight). After 24–96 h, the cells were used in the subsequent experiments. Cell culture supernatant was collected after 2–4 days and centrifuged at 1500 ×g for 5 min to remove cell debris.

HEK293T cells were obtained from the RIKEN Cell Bank (Saitama, Japan) and cultured in DMEM (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical) supplemented with 10% FBS (Hyclone) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Thermo Fisher Scientific) at 37°C in 5% CO2 (42 (link)). The patient-derived OS cell line 143B was obtained from the ATCC (Manassas, USA) and cultured in adherent medium containing DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS, 110 μg/mL sodium pyruvate (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical), and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. Both cell types were cultured in tissue culture dishes (SARSTEDT) to ensure optimal adherence and expansion. To enrich stem-like cells, 143B cells were harvested using trypsin (BD Bioscience) and EDTA (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical), then cultured in osteosphere medium containing DMEM/F12 (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical) supplemented with 20 ng/mL recombinant human EGF (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical), 20 ng/mL recombinant human basic FGF (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical), B27 supplement without vitamin A (Gibco), GlutaMAX (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. Under these conditions, the cells were incubated in Ultra-Low Attachment Surface culture dishes (Corning). To assess the differentiation potential of OSCs, the cells were transferred from osteosphere to adherent medium, and from Ultra-Low Attachment Surface to tissue culture dishes, to promote adherence and differentiation.

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.
