Spleen Tissue Lysate Preparation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A sterile surgical blade was used to excise a small fragment of spleen tissue (~ 1 g).
The tissue slice was placed on a sterile sieve positioned on top of a sterile dish prior to being crushed using a pestle allowing the debris to remain on the sieve and the supernatant to pass onto the dish. The sieve was rinsed using 500 µl sterile PBS (pH7.0) containing 5 µg/ml gentamycin sulfate (Bio Whittaker) allowing the lysate to drain onto the dish. The tissue lysate containing PBS was then pipetted out of the dish and transferred into a sterile 1.5 ml Eppendorf tube. The lysate was centrifuged at 14,000 rpm for 10 min to remove tissue debris and the resultant supernatant was pipetted out and transferred into a sterile 1.5 ml Eppendorf tube and stored at − 20 °C. The lysate was used for both extraction of genomic DNA for diagnostic confirmation, for genotyping and as an inoculum for virus isolation.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Vero-81 cells were cultured in complete medium containing 10% heat inactivated fetal bovine serum, 0.1 mM non-essential amino acids (Sigma), and 50 μg/mL gentamycin sulfate (Lonza) in Minimal Essential Medium (MEM, Sigma) at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2. PEDV strain 13-019349 (Genbank ID: KF267450), isolated from PEDV-infected fecal samples at the National Veterinary Services Laboratories, Ames IA, was propagated in Vero-81 cells with complete medium containing 2.5 μg/mL trypsin, and 10% tryptose phosphate broth solution (Sigma). Removal of trypsin from the maintenance media resulted in reduced infection, as reported previously (Li et al., 2012 (link)). Virus stocks of 2.54 × 105 TCID50/mL or 1.4 × 1010 viral genome copies per mL were collected and stored at –80 °C until use.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fluorescence-activated cell sorting-sorted CD3+CD8+CD28+CD45RO−CCR7+ (naive CD8+) T cells were suspended in RPMI medium (Lonza, Breda, The Netherlands) supplemented with 10 mg/ml gentamycin sulfate (Lonza) and 10% fetal calf serum (Thermo Scientific, Breda, The Netherlands) in a volume of 3 ml and seeded at a density of 1 × 106/ml in T25 cm flasks. A final concentration of 50 ng/ml human recombinant IL-15 (Peprotech, London, UK) was added to the cell culture at day 0 and refreshed every 5th day. On day 5, 10, and 15 of culture, cells were harvested and stained for flow cytometry analysis and/or lysed for RNA isolation. To study CD28, CD45RO, and CCR7 expression on naïve CD8+ T cells after IL-15 stimulation, CD3+CD8+CD28+CD45RO−CCR7+ T-cells were sorted as described above and stained with 10 umol/ml eF670 proliferation dye (eBioscience, Vienna, Austria). After 5, 10, and 15 days of culture in the presence of IL-15 (50 ng/ml), cells were harvested, stained, and analyzed by flow cytometer.

After recovery, BAL fluid was centrifuged at 300 x g for 15 min at 4°C, and BACs were suspended in complete medium [RPMI 1640 medium (Lonza, Walkersville, MD, USA) with 2 mM L-glutamine (Sigma Chemical Co., St Louis, MO), 50 mg/ml gentamycin sulfate (Lonza) and 10% heat-inactivated pooled AB human serum (Gemini, Woodland, CA)] at 1 x 106 cells/ml. The average cell viability was 98% based on trypan blue exclusion (Gibco Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY). The BAL fluids were aliquoted and kept at -70°C until used. PBMCs were obtained by centrifugation using lymphocyte separation solution (Lonza), and their viability was 99% based on trypan blue exclusion.

Freshly isolated PBMCs from 3 ANCA-positive GPA-patients and 3 age- and sex-matched HCs were stained with anti-CD4-eF450, anti-CD25-PE and anti-CD45RO-FITC, and sorted on a MoFlo-Astrios (Beckman Coulter) according to Miyara’s classification18 (link) into the following 4 populations: rTreg (CD4+CD25+CD45RO), aTreg (CD4+CD25HighCD45RO+), non-Treg (CD4+CD25LowCD45RO) and responder T cells (Tresp; CD4+CD25) (Supplementary Fig. S2). Tresp cells were frozen in liquid nitrogen until use. The 3 other Tregs fractions were expanded in vitro for 2 weeks using anti-CD3/CD28 Dynabeads (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and 200IU of IL-2 (Peprotech, Rocky Hill, USA) in RPMI1640 (Lonza, Breda, The Netherlands) supplemented with 10% human pooled serum (Lonza) and 60 µg/ml gentamycin sulfate (Lonza). Part of the 3 expanded Treg subsets was used in suppression assays (as described below) to determine their suppressive capacity, and another part was frozen and used later to assess cytokine production (as described above).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In order to investigate the role of NF-κB in whey hydrolysate induced cytokine production, THP-1 monocytes were first differentiated into THP-1 macrophages as previously described [42 (link)]. First, THP-1 monocytes were cultured in RPMI medium (Lonza, Verviers, Belgium) supplemented with 10% decomplemented FBS, 2mM L-glutamine (Lonza, Verviers, Belgium), 1mM sodium pyruvate (Lonza, Verviers, Belgium), 0.05mM 2-mercaptoethanol (Scharlau, Barcelona, Spain), 60 μg/ml gentamycin sulfate (Lonza, Verviers, Belgium), and 2.2 μg/ml amphotericin B (Sigma Aldrich, Zwijndrecht, the Netherlands). Then, cells were seeded in a 24 wells plate at a concentration of 1x106 cells/well (in 0.5 ml medium). To differentiate the cells into macrophages 100 ng/ml PMA was added. After 48 hours, the PMA was removed and cells were washed twice with fresh medium. Cells were cultured for another 24 hours. Then, cells were incubated with either 10 μM of the NF-κB inhibitor celastrol (Invivogen, Toulouse, France) or medium (control) for 30 minutes. Next, 2 mg/ml intact whey protein or its hydrolysates were added. Cells were incubated for 24 hours, after which the supernatant was collected. TNFα and IL-10 levels were measured in the supernatant by ELISA according to the manufacturer’s protocol (eBioscience, San Diego, USA).

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.
