SyEV were stained with DiO (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR) for 30 min at 37 °C. RAW 264.7 cells labelled with Cellmask Deep Red (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) were incubated with the fluorescent SyEV for 6 h. The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde and then permeabilized with 0.2% Triton X-100 followed by mounting with Prolong Gold antifade reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). The uptake profile was monitored by a confocal microscope (Zeiss Axio observer; Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany). For the uptake inhibitor treatment, RAW 264.7 cells were preincubated with Dynasore (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) for 30 min and then treated with DiO-SyEV for 6 h. Flow cytometry was performed using a BD FACSVerse Flow Cytometer running BD FACSuit Software (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) and FlowJo Software (Tree Star Inc., Ashland, OR).

Intracellular ROS Detection by H2DCFDA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The reduced non‐fluorescent H2DCFDA can be oxidized and converted into fluorescent 2′, 7′‐dichlorofluorescein (DCF) by intracellular ROS. In this protocol, we applied H2DCFDA to label the intracellular ROS and detected the DCF intensity by flow cytometry. Cells were harvested by trypsinization, centrifuged, and washed with PBS and dissolved the pellet in PBS at a density of 1–2 × 106 cells/ml and then DCFDA (Sigma‐Aldrich) was added at the final concentration of 20 μM. The cells were then incubated in dark and prepared for measuring the fluorescence in flow cytometer. The resultant fluorescence intensity was measured with control in BD FACSVerse flow cytometer, USA with blue laser (wave length 488 nm) excitation in FITC channel for resulting DCF fluorescence, and readings were analyzed and represented with BD FACSuit software.

NVs were stained with DiO (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR) for 20 min at 37 °C. Cellmask Deep Red (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA)-labeled RAW 264.7 cells were incubated with DiO-labeled NVs for 6 h. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, and then permeabilized with 0.2% Triton X-100, followed by mounted with Prolong Gold antifade reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). The uptake was observed by a fluorescence light microscope (Zeiss Axio observer; Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany). For the uptake inhibitor treatment, RAW 264.7 cells pretreated with dynasore (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) for 1 h were sequentially incubated with DiO-NVs for 6 h. Flow cytometry was analyzed using BD FACSVerse Flow Cytometer running BD FACSuit Software (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) and FlowJo Software (Tree Star Inc., Ashland, OR).

A single cell
suspension of the spleen
from immunized mice was prepared, and 3 × 105 cells/group
were taken in a tube and washed with PBS. Then, 1 μL/tube of
the Fc blocker was added and incubated
for 15 min, followed by washing. Cells were added with fluorochrome-conjugated
anti-CD4, -CD8, and -CD 19 antibodies and incubated for 45 min in
the dark. Cells were washed twice and resuspended in sheath buffer
for flow cytometric analysis. Cells were acquired using FACSVerse
and analyzed using BD FACSuit software.23 (link)

OMVs were stained with 5 μM of DiO (Molecular Probes) for 20 min at 37 °C. To observe the cellular uptake of OMVs, DiO-labeled OMVs were treated to Cellmask Deep Red (Thermo Fisher Scientific)-labeled HL-1 grown on coverslips and incubated for 6 h. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.2% Triton X-100, and then mounted with Prolong Gold antifade reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific). A fluorescence light microscope (Zeiss Axio observer; Carl Zeiss) was used for analysis. For the endocytosis inhibitor treatment, HL-1 cells were pretreated with 150 µM dynaosre (Sigma Aldrich) for 1 h at 37 °C, and then incubated with DiO-OMVs for 6 h as described above.

Fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis (FACS) was used to study the cellular uptake characteristics of TR146 cells. The cells were seeded at a density of 3×105 cells per well in a 12-well plate and incubated for 24 hours in a humidified incubator under 5% CO2 atmosphere at 37°C. Then, the cells were treated with FITC-insulin-loaded liposomes and incubated for 8 hours. Subsequently, the cells were washed twice with HBSS–HEPES buffer (pH 7.4) to remove the traces of liposomal vesicles left in the wells, harvested, and suspended in 0.5 mL of ice-cold FACS buffer (10% FBS and 2% sodium azide in PBS, pH 7.4). The dispersed cells were introduced immediately to FACS analysis using BD FAC suit software (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA). For the quantification of median fluorescence intensity (MFI) values, 5×103 designated cells were collected per histogram.

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.
