PBMCs were co-incubated with B. burgdorferi for 20 hrs. Cell-free culture supernatants were prepared by removal of PBMCs at 300×g for 10 min followed by centrifugation of the supernatant at 9000×g for 10 min to remove non-adherent spirochetes and cellular debris. Cell-free supernatants were aliquoted and stored at −20°C until further use. Concentrations of human IFN-α and IFN–λ1 were quantitated using the Human Verikine IFN-α (PBL Biomedical Laboratories) or the Human IL-29 ELISA Ready-Set Go! Kit (eBioscience), respectively. Protein levels of IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12 p70, TNF-α and TNF-β in cell-free culture supernatants were measured using the FlowCytomix Human Th1/Th2 11plex Kit (BMS810FF;Bender MedSystems) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

A lethal dose of ketamine and lompun was injected to mice intraperitoneally to sacrifice. BALF was collected via insertion of silicon tube to the trachea. Mice were given 1.8 ml of PBS into lung and >1.5 ml of buffer was retrieved consistently. To detect cytokines, BALF was centrifuged at 1100×g for 10 min. Supernatants were obtained and stored at 4°C.
Interleukin-4, interferon gamma (IFN-γ), IL-17, and GM-CSF levels in BALF were measured according to the method of Chen et al.[25 (link)] Briefly, we added BALF or serially diluted cytokine standards in 96-well micro plate (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), antibody-linked fluorescent bead and secondary antibody biotin-conjugated were added, and then incubated at room temperature (RT) for 2 h. After washing, streptavidin-phycoerythrin was added, and samples were incubated at RT for 1 h. After washing, the samples were replaced in a 5-ml tube (SPL, Gyoungi-do, Korea), and 300 μl of assay buffer was added. Fluorescence from micro plate was detected using flow cytometry instrument (BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). Data were analyzed using FlowCytomix Pro software (Bender Medsystems, Vienna, Austria) and expressed as picogram per milliliter.

Cytokine Profiling of PBMC-MSC Cocultures

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cytokine analysis in coculture supernatants was performed by seeding 105 PBMC in 96 flat-bottom well plates (TPP, Trasadingen, Switzerland), with and without the different MSC clones at 1 : 10 ratio (MSC : PBMC), in complete RPMI medium for 96 hours. They were stimulated with 10 μg/mL of PHA, and no stimulation condition was used as control. Supernatants were then collected, centrifuged at 360g, and frozen at −20°C until analysis. Cytokine detection was performed by flow cytometry (FacsCanto II, Becton Dickinson, San Diego, CA, USA) and the Human Th1/Th2/Th9/Th17/Th22 13plex FlowCytomix Multiplex kit from eBioscience (San Diego, CA, USA). The analysed cytokines were interleukin- (IL-) 1β, tumour necrosis factor- (TNF-) α, IL-10, interferon- (IFN-) γ, IL-4, IL-2, IL-22, IL-13, IL-17A, IL-9, IL-5, and IL-12p70. Data were analysed using FlowCytomix Pro Software (eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA).

Cells from different setups were harvested at different time points (see figures) and centrifuged for 10 min at 1000×g. Supernatants were collected and used for measurement of cytokines either by bead-based ELISA or standard ELISA kits. For several cytokines, bead-based ELISA kits were used: Diacone Diaplex Th1/Th2/inflammation, Nordic Biosite, 880 100 010. For IL-6 only: Diacone Diaplex, Nordic Biosite, 880 030 001. Both bead-based assays were run on the Accuci C6 flow cytometer, and data were analyzed using the Flowcytomix Pro software (eBioscience).

Cytokine levels were determined in supernatants collected from the PBMC proliferation assays (anti-CD3 + anti-CD28 stimulated cells) after 6 days. All cytokine measurements were carried out with the human Th1/Th2/Th9/Th17/Th22 13plex bead array Kit (eBioscience, BMS817FF) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, samples were incubated with a bead mixture and biotin-conjugated cytokine specific antibody mixture light protected for 2 hours at room temperature. Samples were washed twice by adding assay buffer and spinning down with 200 g for 5 min. Staining with Streptavidin-PE solution was carried out under light protected conditions for 1 hour at room temperature, followed by 2 washing steps.

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.
