Macrophage Migration Assay with Activin A

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Six hundred microliter of macrophage serum‐free medium (M‐SFM, Invitrogen) containing recombinant human activin A (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) at various concentrations was placed into the lower wells of transwell plates (Corning Incorporated, Corning, NY) with 6.5 mm diameter inserts and 8.0 μm pore size. Macrophages (105 per well, in duplicates) were seeded in 100 μl of M‐SFM (with or without activin A) on the inserts. After 24 h, the inserts were removed from the plate and the upper side was cleaned with cotton swabs to remove non‐migrated cells. Following fixation in cold 100% methanol for 10 min, inserts were stained with only Hoechst or together with F4/80‐Alexa Fluor488 (Biolegend) for 1–3 h. After washing with PBS, membranes from inserts were cut out, placed on the glass slides, and mounted with Mowiol. The number of migrated cells was counted by blinded investigators in five 10× or 20× microscope fields and normalized to control (M‐SFM).

Prostate Cancer Xenograft Immune Profiling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Using a Johns Hopkins Animal Care and Use Committee approved protocol, adult athymic nude mice were inoculated subcutaneously in the flank with the LNCaP human prostate cancer cell lines in 200 μL of Matrigel. Mice were divided into two groups, and the treatment group was implanted with 2 one cm long silastic implants filled with testosterone as described previously (6 ). Tumors were harvested 2- and 4-days post-treatment and fixed in 10% buffered formalin and processed for IHC and H&E staining. NK cells were identified using antiCD57-PE (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and antiCD49b-FITC (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) antibodies. F4/80-Alexafluor 488 and Ly-6G- Alexafluor 488 antibodies (Biolegend) were used to stain the macrophages and neutrophils cells respectively. Stained sections were imaged using Zeiss LSM 700 laser confocal microscope. Images were analyzed using the image processing package Fiji. NK cells, macrophages and neutrophils were counted per field from at least five fields and plotted as mean values.

Therapeutic anti-PD-1 (BE0146) and isotype control antibody (BE0089) were produced by BioXcell. Antibodies used for flow cytometry were purchased from eBioscience (Anti-mouse CD3ε FITC, CD11b eFluor 660) and Biolegend (Anti-mouse CD8a Alexa Fluor® 647, NK 1.1 Alexa Fluor® 647, Ly-6G/Ly-6C (Gr-1) Alexa Fluor® 488, CD19 FITC, CD45R/B220 Alexa Fluor® 647, F4/80 Alexa Fluor® 488, CD206 Alexa Fluor® 647, FOXP3 Alexa Fluor® 488, CD4 Alexa Fluor® 647, CD11c Alexa Fluor® 488, I-A/I-E Alexa Fluor® 647, CD16/32).

Polarization of Bone Marrow-Derived Macrophages

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To measure the effect of shAcsl1 on the polarization of BMDMs, cells were exposed to vehicle or 1 × 109 TU/mL shAcsl1 lentiviruses for three days. In some experiments, cells were treated with 5.5 (normal) or 25 mM (high) endotoxin-free d-glucose (Sigma Aldrich) before analysis. Briefly, cells were incubated with fluorescence-labeled antibodies (CD11b-APC, F4/80-Alexa Fluor 488, and CD86-PE or CD206-PE, Biolegend, USA) for 30 min. The cells were then washed three times with FACS buffer, followed by analysis using the BD FACS Calibur™. Flow cytometry data were analyzed using FlowJo software.

Multicolor Flow Cytometry Profiling of Pancreatic Immune Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Single cell suspensions were prepared from resected pancreata using a gentleMACS Octo Dissociator with the Tumor Dissociation Kit as per the manufacturers’ instructions. Levels of the following cell surface markers were directly measured by flow cytometry on a BD FACSCanto (BD Biosciences) in two separate groups as noted and analyzed using FlowJo Software (Tree Star). Group 1: CD45 (APC; BioLegend), CD11b (PE/Cy7; BioLegend), Gr1 (PerCP; BioLegend), CD11c (PE; BioLegend), F4/80 (Alexa Fluor® 488; BioLegend), Fixable Viability Dye (eFluor™ 780; eBioscience) Group 2: CD45 (APC; BioLegend), Th1.2 (Alexa Fluor® 488; BioLegend), IgMa (PE; BD Pharmingen), CD4 (PE/Cy7; BioLegend), CD8a (PerCP; BD Pharmingen), Fixable Viability Dye (eFluor™ 780; eBioscience).

Fc Block (20 m g/mL; BD Biosciences) was used to block cell-surface antigens. After blocking cells were stained with fluorophore conjugated antibodies or isotype control antibodies. Fluorophore-conjugated primary antibodies were purchased from BioLegend: F4/80-Alexa Fluor 488, CD11b-PerCP/Cy5.5, CD11c-phycoerythrin, and CD206-Alexa Fluor 647. After incubation with antibodies, cells were washed and centrifuged, re-suspended in a washing buffer, and analyzed on a FACSCalibur using FlowJo 10.0.6.

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.
