Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SVG-A is a transformed cell line derived from primary fetal human glial cells and was described previously (Major et al., 1985 (link)). SVG-A cells were grown in minimal essential medium (MEM) (Corning, Inc, New York, NY) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Atlanta Biologicals, Flowery Branch, GA) and 1% antifungal/antibiotic (Gibco Life Technologies, Gaithersburg, MD). HEK293-LentiX cells are a subclone of the HEK293 line optimal for lentiviral packaging systems and were obtained from (Takara). LentiX cells were grown in Dulbecco’s minimal essential medium (DMEM) (Corning) supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% nonessential amino acids (Gibco Life Technologies), and 1% antifungal/antibiotic. EV-depleted media was used as needed for EV-related experiments while complete media was used for general passage of cell lines. EV-depleted media was produced as described (Théry et al., 2002 ). Briefly, 2X media was prepared and spun at 100,000 ×g in a Type 45 Ti rotor (k-factor = 133), for 18 hours at 4°C. Media was then diluted before use to 1X and filtered through 0.22 μm filter (CELLTREAT, Pepperell, MA). Cells were grown in a humidified chamber at 37°C and 5% CO2.
Generation of the JC polyomavirus strain Mad-1/SVEΔ and production and purification of viral stocks was previously described (Liu & Atwood, 2000 , Liu et al. ).

Treat C57BL/6 mouse spleen tissue, crush on a cell filter to obtain a single cell suspension, and lyse erythrocytes. Naïve CD4+ T cells were sorted according to the MagniSort™Mouse CD4 Naïve T cell Enrichment Kit supplier time instructions (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA).
For all T cell cultures, RPMI 1640 (Cytiva, Marlborough, MA, USA) medium was supplemented with 10% FBS (GIBCO, Grand Island, NY, USA), 10 mM HEPES buffer (GIBCO, Grand Island, NY, USA), 55 mM 2-ME (GIBCO, Grand Island, NY, USA), antibiotic–antifungal (GIBCO, Grand Island, NY, USA) and 2 mM L -glutamine (GIBCO, Grand Island, NY, USA), 1 mM sodium pyruvate (GIBCO, Grand Island, NY, USA) and MEM non-essential amino acids (GIBCO, Grand Island, NY, USA). About 100,000 cells were added to 96-well plates coated with anti-mouse CD3 (2.5 mg/mL, BD Pharmingen, San Diego, CA, USA) and soluble anti-mouse CD28 (2 mg/mL, BD Pharmingen, San Diego, CA, USA). T cells were cultured with CCL2 or CCL8 (MedChem Express, Monmouth Junction, NJ, USA).

Placental Umbilical Tissue Biopsy and Newborn Blood Sampling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Umbilical tissue biopsies were obtained once the placenta was delivered and used for immunohistochemical, genetic and molecular studies. The biopsy fragments were introduced into 2 different sterile tubes: One containing Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) with 1% antibiotic/antifungal (both from Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and another containing RNAlater® solution (Ambion, Austin, TX, USA). In the laboratory, the samples were processed in a Class II Telstar AV 30/70 Müller 220 V 50 MHz laminar air flow cabinet (Telstar SA Group, Terrassa, Spain) to maintain a sterile environment.
The preserved samples were kept in 1 mL of RNAlater® at −80 °C until processing for gene expression analysis. The samples preserved in MEM were reserved for histological and immunohistochemical studies.
Blood samples were obtained from the newborns by umbilical vein puncture after delivery. Plasma was obtained from these blood samples for the MDA study. The total volume of sampled blood was transferred from heparinized tubes to sterile centrifuge tubes, which were centrifuged at 1500× g for 15 min. Next, the plasma was collected and transferred to 1.5 mL Eppendorf tubes, where it was kept at −80 °C until it was used for the study.

Decellularization and Digestion of Tissue for pECM Production

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The decellularization and digestion protocols were developed based on previous studies28 (link),30 (link). The minced tissues were treated with 1% (v/v) antibiotic/antifungal (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and placed on a shaker overnight at room temperature. The tissue was then treated in 0.1% Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) in distilled water for 48 hours to decellularize the tissue without any buffer change. Following SDS treatment, the tissue is washed in distilled water for another 48 hours and lyophilized. The lyophilized, decellularized tissue was crushed using a mortar and pestle set and digested in pepsin (1 g of pepsin / 10 g of dry tissue) in 0.5M acetic acid in 4°C for 48 hours. The pH of the tissue digest was adjusted to 7.4 using an aqueous base solution (e.g. NaOH) and then centrifuged at 3000 g for 5 mins. The supernatant was filtered using a cell strainer (100 μm, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and stored at −80°C until further use. The resulting supernatant was defined as pECM for the current work. The DNA content of pECM was tested using a Quant-iT PicoGreen dsDNA Assay kit (Life Technologies) following the manufacturer’s protocol. Collagen content of pECM was tested using a hydroxyproline assay kit (Sigma-Aldrich).

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.
