Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine the release profile of SN-38 from the mAb-modified NPs, samples containing 100 µg of encapsulated SN-38 were resuspended in 3 mL of pH 7.4 PBS (10% HPBCD) and loaded into a 40 kDa cutoff Slide-A-Lyzer G2 dialysis cassettes from Thermo Fisher (Waltham, MA). The cassettes were placed individually in hermetic plastic bags with 10 mL of pH 7.4 PBS (10% HPBCD), at 37 °C, in continuous stirring for 96 h. At sampling times 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96 h, buffer from the airtight plastic bags was completely removed and replaced with fresh buffer. Then, 100 µL of the removed buffer was processed as previously described to analyze SN-38 [31 (link)]. The rate of drug release was analyzed by fitting the data into first order equation(1),
ln(100Q)=ln100kt where Q is the percentage of SN-38 released at time t, and k is the release rate constant.

CYP2B1 and CYP2B6 Enzyme Kinetics

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The primary reaction mixtures contained 250 nM CYP2B1 or CYP2B6, 500 nM CPR, 250 nM cytochrome b5, 30 ng/μL DLPC, and 5 μM CPS in 50 mM phosphate buffer at pH 7.4. The reactions were initiated by the addition of NADPH to a final concentration of 1 mM or with water for the control reactions. The reaction mixtures were incubated for 1 min before they were placed on ice to stop the reaction. The reactions were then dialyzed against 50 mM potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, in 3 mL Slide-A-Lyzer G2 Dialysis cassettes (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The buffer was exchanged every 15 min over the course of an hour for a total of four buffer exchanges. Following dialysis, a 20 μL aliquot was transferred to a 1 mL secondary reaction solution that contained 0.1 mM 7-EFC and 0.2 mM NADPH in 50 mM potassium phosphate buffer at pH 7.4. The secondary reaction mixture was then incubated for 5 min at 37 °C before it was terminated by the addition of 330 μL of ice-cold acetonitrile. The fluorescence of 7-hydroxy-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin was measured as described above.

5′ methoxyuridine mCherry mRNA (L-7203, TriLink Biotechnologies, San Diego, CA) was formulated into LNPs using the microfluidic setup described in detail elsewhere.24 (link) In brief, stocks of lipids were dissolved in ethanol and mixed in the weight ratio of 20:1 lipid L mRNA to obtain a lipid concentration of 12.5 mM (1.85 mg/mL). The aqueous and ethanol solutions were mixed in a 3:1 volume ratio using a microfluidic apparatus NanoAssemblr (Precision NanoSystems, Vancouver, BC, Canada) at a mixing rate of 12 mL/min. LNPs were dialyzed overnight in PBS using Slide-A-Lyzer G2 dialysis cassettes (Thermo Fisher) with a molecular weight cutoff of 10 kDa. The size of the LNPs was measured by dynamic light scattering using a Zetasizer Nano ZS (Malvern Instruments, Malvern, UK), and the concentration and encapsulation of mRNA were determined using the RiboGreen assay. The final ratio of lipids by molar percentage was 50:38.5:10:1.5 (MC3:DSPC:PEG-DMG 2000) with a lipid to RNA mass ratio of 20:1.

The sonicated cell pellet was washed with 25 ml PBS thrice and centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 10 min. The pellet was then collected, weighed, and resuspended in solubilization buffer (base buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM sodium chloride (NaCl), 100 mM glycine, 20% glycerol, pH 8.0) containing 8 M urea) at a final concentration of 2–8 mg/ml. The suspension was mixed in an orbital shaker for 30 min, and after centrifugation at 15,000 rpm for 15 min, the supernatant was filtered through a 0.45 µm syringe filter. The supernatant was dialyzed using slide-A-Lyzer G2 dialysis cassettes (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) in 1 L dialysis buffer (base buffer containing 6 M urea) for 4 h at 4 °C. During this step, 500 mL of base buffer was added to the dialysis buffer every 6 or 12 h 4 times. Finally, the dialysis cassette with the solubilized IL-18 inclusion bodies was placed in 2 ml base buffer for 6 h. The refolded IL-18 proteins (WT and mutants) were harvested and stored at 4 °C until further 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.
