Human BMSCs were purchased from Cyagen (USA) and cultured in human BMSCs basal media (Cyagen, USA) with 10% fetal bovine serum (Cyagen, USA), 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Cyagen, USA), and glutamine (Cyagen, CA, USA). And osteogenic induction was conducted by BMSCs osteogenic differentiation media (Cyagen, USA) with 10% fetal bovine serum (Cyagen, USA), glutamine (Cyagen, CA, USA), 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Cyagen, USA), ascorbic acid (Cyagen, CA, USA), β-Glycerolphosphate disodium (Cyagen, USA), and dexamethasone (Cyagen, USA). All the cells were cultured at 37°C in saturated humidity containing 5% CO2. The media were changed every two days. The BMSCs were digested using 0.25% trypsin (Solarbio, China), when they grew to a confluence of 70–80%. To investigate the effect of topical antibiotics, BMSCs were cultured without antibiotics (Con group) or with antibiotics, which further subdivided into three subgroups: Van group: cultured with vancomycin (Solarbio, China), (1g per person11 (link),12 (link) = 14.28μg/mL), Tob group: cultured with tobramycin (Solarbio, China), (2g per person3 (link),13 (link)=28.57μg/mL), Van+Tob group (vancomycin 14.28μg/mL combined with tobramycin 28.57μg/mL).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Commensal microbes were depleted using antibiotics as previously reported32 (link). Specifically, four kinds of antibiotics including ampicillin (1 g/l) (Solarbio), vancomycin (0.5 g/l) (Solarbio), neomycin sulfate (1 g/l) (Solarbio) and metronidazole (1 g/l) (Solarbio) were dissolved in sterile water and stored in 4 °C no more than a week before using. This antibiotic-contained water was supplied as drinking water to pregnant, breastfeeding mice and was changed every 3 days. Meanwhile, the offspring mice from pregnant C57BL/6 dams without antibiotic treatment were maintained in parallel as controls in each experiment. For early-Abx model, 8-week-old control or early-Abx male mice (18~22 g body weight) were subjected to HCC models, 16 S rRNA sequencing and microbiota metabolic or liver NK cell analysis (5~11 mice per group, born from 2~4 different dams and fed in 2~3 different cages).

Modulating Gut Microbiome to Enhance Viral Immunity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To eliminate as much as possible the intestinal microbial background of mice, ampicillin (1 mg/ml), streptomycin (5 mg/ml), vancomycin (0.25 mg/ml), and mycomycin (1 mg/ml; Solarbio) were added to the sterile drinking water of mice for 6 days, followed by FMT. Mouse feces from the PBS + H9N2 and 0111 + H9N2 groups were collected on the seventh day and processed as described previously (Yang et al., 2021 (link)). Briefly, fecal samples were placed in a sterile N2 incubator, mixed thoroughly, and then plugged into a cell filter to collect bacteria and centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 10 min. The samples were subsequently added to 10% glycerol, stored at −80°C. FMT before replacing the glycerol with PBS and stained with methylene blue staining to count the number of viable microorganisms. Mice were gavaged in 100 μl volumes (n = 5). One day later, all mice were intranasally attacked with H9N2 (106.5 EID50), and their survival and weight loss were monitored 14 days after infection. FMT experiment was repeated twice independently.

Mice were cohoused for 3–4 weeks before antibiotic treatment to allow for equilibration of the microbiota. Broad-spectrum antibiotic consisted of metronidazole (1 g/l), neomycin (1 g/l), ampicillin (1 g/l), vancomycin (0.5 g/l) and streptomycin (1 g/l) (all from Solarbio, Beijing, China) was administered in the drinking water for 1 week and then was replaced with regular water for the rest of the experiment.
Mice were orally inoculated 24 h later with 1 × 109 CFUs Lactobacillus salivarius. L. salivarius was grown at 37°C in MRS broth (Solarbio) and were washed twice with PBS prior to use.

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.
