Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the transport and preparation of the smooth muscle strips and for the incubation in the organ bath, KH was used (in mmol/L: NaCl 115.0 (VWR International GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany), 4.7 KCl, 2.5 CaCl2, 1.2 MgCl2, 1.2 NaH2PO4, 25.0 NaHCO3 (all Carl Roth GmbH & Co. KG, Karlsruhe, Germany) and 11.0 glucose (VWR International GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany)). Before use, the buffer was gassed with carbogen (95% O2, 5% CO2) under constant temperature conditions (38 °C). The final pH of the buffer was 7.4. Furthermore, two buffer variations were used for the experiments: a calcium-free buffer (in mmol/L: NaCl 115.0 (VWR International GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany), 4.7 KCl, 1.2 MgCl2, 1.2 NaH2PO4, 25.0 NaHCO3 (all Carl Roth GmbH & Co. KG, Karlsruhe, Germany) and 11.0 glucose (VWR International GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany)) and a potassium-enriched buffer, containing potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride (in mmol/L: 123.4 KCl, 2.5 CaCl2, 1.2 MgCl2, 1.2 NaH2PO4, 25.0 NaHCO3 (all Carl Roth GmbH & Co. KG, Karlsruhe, Germany) and 11.0 glucose (VWR International GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany)).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the binding inhibition assay, cells were seeded on 24-well plates with DMEM supplemented with 2% FBS at a concentration of 1 × 105 cells per well, 12–16 h prior to virus inoculation. Medium was replaced by serum free DMEM medium and cells were pre-incubated at 4 °C for 15 min prior to treatment with integrin ligands. Type I collagen (0–500 μg/mL-Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), synthetic Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD motif) tripeptide (0–250 μg/mL-Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and recombinant mouse vitronectin (0–50 μg/mL-Sino Biological, Beijing, China) were added into the wells with serum free DMEM supplemented with 1 mM MnCl2 (Carl-Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany) and 1 mM MgCl2 (Carl-Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany) and incubated at 4 °C for 30 min to allow ligand binding. After this, plates were placed on ice and washed twice, and cells were inoculated with flaviviruses at a MOI of 10. Cells were incubated for 1 h on ice with constant agitation every 15 min. After this period, the inoculum was removed and the wells were washed four times with cold 1× PBS to remove unbound virus particles. Cell monolayers were resuspended in RLT buffer (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and stored at −80 °C.

200 nM RABGGT was incubated with 200 nM CHM and 800 nM {3,7,11-trimethyl-12-(7-nitro-benzo[1,2,5]oxadiazo-4-ylamino),-dodeca-2,6,10-trien-1} pyrophosphate (NBP-FPP) (Jena Bioscience, LI-013) in prenylation buffer containing 20 mM HEPES (Carl Roth, 6763.3), pH 7.2, 25 mM NaCl (Carl Roth, P029.2), 2 mM DTE (Sigma, D8255), 2 mM MgCl2 (Carl Roth, HN03.1) for 5 min. The prenylation was initiated by adding 250 nM RAB33B [53 (link)]. The fluorescence signal upon the incorporation of {3,7,11-trimethyl-12-(7-nitro-benzo[1,2,5]oxadiazo-4-ylamino),-dodeca-2,6,10-trien-1} pyrophosphate (NBP-FPP) into RAB33B was measured on a Spex Fluoromax-3 spectrofluorometer (Jobin Yvon, Edison). Excitation and emission monochromators were set to 480 nm and 520 nm, respectively. The progress curves were fit to single exponential function using Prism version 7.00 for Windows in order to obtain the half-life of a reaction (t1/2).

Lentiviral Vector Concentration and Purification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The lentiviral vector was harvested 72 h post-transfection. DENARASE® (c-Lecta) and MgCl2 (Carl Roth) were added to the cell culture broth one hour before harvest at a final concentration of 10 U/mL and 2 mM, respectively. After nucleic acid digestion, the lentiviral vector containing cell culture broth was directly clarified with Sartoclear Dynamics® Lab V50 (0.45 μm polyethersulfone membrane version) with 5 g/L diatomaceous earth (Sartorius). The lentiviral vector was aliquoted and stored at -80°C.

Haloferax volcanii strain H26 was kindly provided by Thorsten Allers (University of Nottingham, UK). It was and grown in complex medium [36] (link) or in synthetic medium [37] (link) supplemented with 8 µM FeSO4 (Roth, P015.1), 0,1% (v/v) SL-6 trace element solution [38] (link) (all from Roth), 1 ml vitamin solution (Sigma Aldrich, B6891), 50 µg ml−1 uracil (Applichem, A0667) and 100 mM MOPS pH 7.2 (Sigma Aldrich, M3183). All components of the synthetic medium were of the grade “per analysis” and thus free of phosphate, e.g. K2HPO4 (Roth, 6878.2), NH4Cl (Applichem, A0988), glucose (Merck, 1083441000), NaCl (Roth, 3957.5), MgCl2 (Roth, 2189.1), MgSO4 (Applichem, A1037), KCl (Roth, 6781,1), CaCl2 (Applichem, A3587), and Tris (A1086). If not otherwise stated, the synthetic medium was also supplemented with 0.5% (w/v) glucose as a C source, 10 mM NH4Cl as a N source, and 1 mM K2HPO4 as a P source. For growth experiments with DNA as a source of P K2HPO4 was omitted and genomic DNA was added to a final concentration of 250 µg/ml. Cultures were grown in Erlenmeyer flasks in a rotary shaker at 42 °C and 250 rpm or in microtiter plates as described below.

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.
