Preparation of Meclofenamate and Lomustine

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Meclofenamate and lomustine were purchased from Sigma. For preparation of 100-mM stock solutions, Meclofenamate was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and lomustine in ethanol. Both drugs were aliquoted and stored at −20 °C. Final DMSO and ethanol concentrations did not exceed 0.1%.

Measuring Coagulation and Inflammation Markers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Beta-thromboglobulin (βTG) and prothrombin fragments 1+2 (F1+2) were measured by commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in plasma samples collected in CTAD tubes as previously described (24 (link)). EDTA plasma was used to measure histamine (ELISA kit Starfish, Gernusco, Italy) and C3a levels. Because the manufacturer of C3a kits recently modified their ELISA to the C3a Plus version (Microvue Complement C3a Plus, Quidel, San Diego, CA), archived GalTKO.hCD46 samples were reanalyzed for this study. Blood, collected at 3 time points (0, 15 and 60min) in EDTA tubes containing 100μl (at 10μg/ml) of meclofenamate (Sigma-Aldrich, St.Louis, MO), was analyzed to measure plasma levels of thromboxane B2 (TXB2 EIA Kit, Cayman Chemical Company, Ann Arbor, MI; Catalog No. 519031).

Phospho-specific anti-IκBα (serine 32/36, #9246) and anti-p65 (serine 536, #3036S) antibodies were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology Inc. (Danvers, MA, USA). Anti-β-actin (sc-8432), anti-NF-κB p65 (sc-8008), and anti-inhibitory kappa Bα (IkBα) (sc-371) antibodies were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA, USA). Anti-nuclear matrix protein p84 (ab-487) was purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, MA, USA). Goat Anti-mouse IgG (#401215) or Goat Anti-rabbit IgG (#401315) was purchased from Calbiochem (Carlsbad, CA, USA) and used as the secondary antibody. Other chemicals used in the current experiment, including meclofenamate, were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA).

Plasma Biomarkers for Thrombosis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For βTG, blood perfusate was collected in CTAD vacutainer tubes (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) after breaking the vacuum and left on ice for 20 min until centrifugation at 1430g for 20 minutes. For TXB2, blood perfusate was collected in EDTA vacutainer tubes (Becton Dickinson) supplemented with meclofenamate (10μg/mL) (Sigma-Aldrich) and immediately centrifuged at 514g for 15 minutes. Plasma was collected and stored at −80C until assayed. Assays for beta-thromboglobulin (βTG; Asserachrom β-TG, Diagnostica Stago, Asnieres, France) and thromboxane B2 (TXB2; TXB2 ELISA Kit, Cayman Chemicals, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) were performed according to manufacturer’s instructions. The normal reference ranges for human βTG and TXB2 are <50 IU/mL and 1–2 pg/mL respectively.

Blood was collected from the suprahepatic vena cava outflow at timed intervals throughout the perfusion in EDTA vacutainer tubes (Becton Dickinson), supplemented with meclofenamate (10μg/mL) and benzamidine (1mM) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) after the vacuum was broken. The tubes were centrifuged at 2500rpm for 15 minutes. Plasma was stored at −80°C until used. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels were measured via commercial laboratory (Antech, Rockville, MD, USA).

Beta-thromboglobulin (βTG) and prothrombin fragments 1+2 (F1+2), were measured by commercial enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using plasma samples collected in CTAD tubes (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NK, USA). EDTA plasma was used to measure histamine (ELISA kit Starfish) and C3a levels (Microvue Complement C3a Plus, Quidel). Blood, collected in EDTA tubes containing 100 μL of meclofenamate (10 μg/ml, Sigma-Aldrich), was used for thromboxane (Thromboxane B2 EIA Kit).
Additionally, human blood serum samples were tested for anti-Neu5Gc IgG antibodies using Maxisorp 96-well flat bottom plates (Nunc, cat #44-2404-21) coated with 1 μg/ml of Neu5Gc-PAA (Glycotech, cat #08-051) or PAA (Glycotech, cat #08-000). Affinity purified horseradish peroxidase (HRP) -conjugated goat anti-human IgG (Jackson, cat #109-035-008) was used to detect the anti-Neu5Gc IgG antibodies. All ELISA plates were measured using Spectramax M3 (Molecular Devices).

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.
