Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
OVA peptide (OVAp) which encompasses aa residues 323–339 (ISQAVHAAHAEINEAGR) of OVA is recognized by OT-II-TCR transgenic T cells in the context of H-2b MHC haplotype and was purchased from EZBiolab (Carmel, IN). OVA-Alexa 488 was purchased from Molecular Probes (Eugene, OR) and was used to track Ag uptake and DC-trafficking to the thymus.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ovalbumin protein (OVA), Sigma Adjuvant System (SAS) and IFA were from Sigma-Aldrich, Ea (ASFEAQGALANIAVDKA), Ea-FITC, 1W1K (EAWGALANKAVDKA) from Genecust, Alum and OVA-Alexa488 from Invitrogen, NP-OVA from Biosearch Technologies Inc. CpG-A (5′-GGGGTCAACGTTGAGGGGGG-3′), CpG-B (5′-TCCATGACGTTCCTGACGTT-3), CpG-B control (5′-TCCATGAGCTTCCTGAGCTT-3′, same sequence that CpG-B but contains GpC dinucleotides instead of CpG and can therefore be used as a negative control for CpG-B), CpG-C (5′-TCGTCGTTTTCGGCGCGCGCCG-3′) were from Invivogen and carboxylated green fluorescent microspheres from Polysciences (Warrington, PA). Mice were either i.p. injected with 200 μl or immunised s.c. at the base of tail with 100 μl each side with 40 μg of peptide 1W 1K, 100 μg of OVA or NP-OVA, 200 μg of Ea-FITC or 1.2 × 1010 beads in the indicated adjuvant.

Murine Dendritic Cell Isolation and Stimulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Recombinant mouse granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin (rmIL)-4 were purchased from R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN, USA), propidium iodide (PI), and ovalbumin (OVA) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Steinheim, Germany), and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and OVA-Alexa 488 were purchased from Invitrogen (Carlsbad, CA, USA). The following FITC- or PE-conjugated monoclonal antibodies (Abs) and non-labeled Abs were purchased from BD Biosciences (San Jose, CA, USA): FITC-annexin V, CD16/32 (2.4G2), CD11c (HL3), IA[b] (AF6–120.1), IFN-γ, CD4, PE-CD8, CD4. Cytokine ELISA primary and secondary -antibodies specific for murine IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12p70, IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-10, and TNF-α were purchased from BD Biosciences (San Jose, CA, USA). 5-Bromo-2′-Deoxy-Uridine Labeling and Detection Kit III and collagenase D were purchased from Roche (Salt Lake City, UT, USA).

Quantifying Antigen Uptake by Bone Marrow-Derived Dendritic Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Antigen uptake by BMDCs was measured using the standard method. OVA-Alexa488 (Invitrogen) was used as the model antigen. BMDCs (2×105) were incubated for various time points at 37 °C with OVA-Alexa488 (50 µg/mL) or OVA-Alexa488-MNPs (OVA-Alexa488 50 µg/mL/MNPs 25, and 50 µg/mL) particles. Uptake was terminated by washing the cells with ice-cold fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) buffer (phosphate-buffered saline containing 1% FBS and 0.1% NaN3). Cells were stained with PE-conjugated anti-CD11c (BD Biosciences). Alexa488 fluorescence of CD11cpositive cells was measured using an FACS CantoII (BD Biosciences). The morphology of the BMDCs was examined using a Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (CLSM) (PE: excitation 496, emission; 578 FITC: excitation 488, emission 519).

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.
