Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary bone marrow derived macrophage (BMDM) was prepared by flushing the bone marrow of the tibia and femur of 6–8 week old C57BL/6J mice. The cells were grown in DMEM supplemented with 15% L929-conditioned media, 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin for 7 days. BMDM were stimulated 250 µM palmitate conjugated with BSA or BSA as a control for 24 hours, or TNFα (10 ng/ml, 410-MT-010; R&D systems), IL-6 (40 ng/ml, 406-ML-005; R&D systems) and IL-4 (10 ng/ml, 404-ML-010; R&D systems) for 24 h. In some assays, differentiated BMDM were treated with conditioned media from 3T3-L1 adipocytes differentiated as described58 (link) and treated with 250 µM palmitate conjugated with BSA or BSA for 24 hours. In certain experiments, anti-TNFα (0.4 µg/ml, AF-410-NA; R&D systems) or anti-IL-6 (0.025 µg/ml, MAB406; R&D systems) blocking antibody or the same concentrations of IgG control (Normal Goat IgG: AB-108-C, Rat IgG1: MAB005; R&D systems) was added to conditioned media. Peritoneal macrophages were isolated as described33 (link). Mice were injected intraperitoneally with 1 ml of 3% (wt/vol) thioglycolate to elicit sterile peritonitis with macrophage numbers peaking on day 4. Cells were collected by lavage and used for migration assays.

TNF-α Depletion and Combination Therapy

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Procedures similar to those described for the anti-IL-1β antibody or recombinant IL-1β were used. To deplete TNF-α, mice were injected with 50 μg of a TNF-α-specific antibody (AF410-NA; R&D Systems) 1 day before infection by bacteria and then twice per week for 2 weeks thereafter. The Salmonellae and TNF-α combination therapy groups received an intratumoral injection of recombinant TNF-α (410-MT/CF; 0.25 μg in PBS; R&D Systems) every 2 days starting at 5 dpi and continuing until 11 dpi. Recombinant TNF-α injections were performed using a Microliter syringe (Hamilton Company) fitted with a PrecisionGlide Needle (BDM011455-1; BD Biosciences).

Macrophage-NK Cell Interaction in Aspergillus Infection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Macrophages were collected following digestion by 0.2% EDTA at 37°C for 5 min and were reseeded into 12-well plates at a density of 0.2×106 cells/well following three washes with warm PBS buffer. An equal quantity of autologous purified NK cells was added to the plates, which were then were mixed softly. Swelling conidia were added to the macrophage/NK cell co-culture plates, with a ratio of macrophages to conidia of 1:5. To investigate the contact dependence of the interaction, macrophages and NK cells were separated by a membrane (0.4-µm pore size) in Transwell plates (cat. no. CLS3464-48EA; Costar; Corning Inc.). The swelling conidia were able to contact the macrophages but not the NK cells. Macrophages with conidia or NK cells with conidia were used as controls. The cells and culture supernatant were collected for subsequent experiments following co-culture at 37°C for 24 h. In the antibody neutralization test, macrophages were stimulated by A. fumigatus conidia (1:5) for 24 h and then co-cultured with the NK cells from the same individual for a further 12 h, in the presence or absence of Galectin-9 (cat. no. AF2045; R&D Systems, Inc.)-, IL-18 (cat. no. D044-3; R&D Systems, Inc.)- or TNF-α (cat. no. AF-410-NA; R&D Systems, Inc.)-specific antibodies when NK cells were added. The antibody working concentrations were all 10 µg/ml.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After light stimulation, networks were immediately fixed with 3.7% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 20 min at room temperature. Samples were washed thrice with PBS/50mM glycine solution to neutralize PFA, and then with Tween-20 to make cell membranes permeable. A blocking solution made of 3% BSA, 5% goat serum and 50 mM glycine in PBS was used to minimize nonspecific labeling with antibodies. Cells were first incubated with primary antibody [c-fos: sc-253 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX); interleukin-1 beta (IL1): AF-501-NA, TNF: AF-410-NA (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN)] at room temperature for 1–2 h, washed thrice, and then treated with a suitable Alexa-633 labeled secondary antibody (Invitrogen) for 1–2 h. Samples were washed twice, labelled with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), and then mounted on glass slides using ProLong Gold anti-fade reagent (Invitrogen) following the manufacturer’s protocol. All samples were imaged within three days of preparation.

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.
