Isolation and Characterization of Native Myeloperoxidase

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), tert-butyl hydroperoxide solution, and reduced glutathione were from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). ThioGlo 1 (10-(2,5-dihydro-2,5-dioxo-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)-9-methoxy-3-oxo-3H-naphthol[2,1-b]pyran-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester) and DEPMPO (5-diethoxy-phosphoryl-5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide) were from Calbiochem (San Diego, CA). Other reagents were from Sigma-Aldrich (USA).
The concentration of commercial NaOCl solutions was determined as OClˉ concentration measured spectrophotometrically at pH 12.0, taking the molar extinction coefficient (ε292) equal to 350 M−1 cm−1 [34 (link)]. Assuming that рKα for HOCl is ~7.5 [34 (link)] and that at physiological pH about 50% of HOCl exists in the protonated form, while the resting 50% is in the dissociated form, hereinafter under the term “HOCl” is understood the HOCl/OClˉ mixture present in the test solution. The working solution of HOCl was prepared immediately before assay by dissolution of the commercial preparation in 10 mM Na-phosphate buffer pH 7.4 containing 140 mM NaCl.
Native myeloperoxidase (MPO) was isolated from extracts of frozen leukocytes of healthy donors as described elsewhere [35 (link)]. The purity of MPO preparations was estimated by the Reinheit Zahl (RZ) value (the 430/280 nm absorbance ratio ~0.85).

Root Canal Preparation and Irrigation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Teeth were sectioned apically 12 mm below and coronally 2 mm above the cemento-enamel junction with a low-speed rotary saw (Isomet, Buhler, Lake Bluff, IL, USA). Tissue remnants were removed using a size 20 Hedström file (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland)—samples were instrumented with rotary files (ProTaper, Dentsply, Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) to standardize the master apical file to be size 40 (F4). Next, Peeso reamers (Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) from #1 to #5 were used sequentially to obtain larger root canals.
Between the uses of each file, the root canals were irrigated with 2 mL of 2.5 % sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). Final irrigation was performed using 5 mL of 2.5 % NaOCl (1 min) and 5 mL of 17 % EDTA (Sigma) (1 min). Next, the canals were rinsed with sterile distilled water and then dried with paper points (Meta, Metabiomed, Chungbuk, Korea).

Instrumentation of Immature Apices

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Teeth were sectioned apically 12 mm below and coronally 2 mm above the cementoenamel junction using a diamond disk. Remnant pulpal soft tissue was removed using a size 30 Hedström file (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) [Figure 1]. Working length was determined radiographically using size 20 K-files (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) and was kept 2 mm more than normal to over-instrument the canals simulating immature open apices. Rotary instrumentation was carried out using ProTaper rotary instruments (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) to standardize to master apical size 30 corresponding to F-3. Next Peeso reamers (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) were used sequentially from #1 to #5 to obtain larger canal space and foramen. The canals were irrigated with 2 mL 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) between the instrument changes. A final flush was applied using 5 mL 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) for 1 min and 5 mL 2.5% NaOCl for 1 min and then dried using paper points (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland)

Virucidal Activity Screening of D. canadense

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Testing solutions were prepared by mixing BoHV-1 (from 10 8.0 to 10 8.75 TCID 50 /ml) suspensions in DMEM:F12 with 2% FBS with previously established noncytotoxic extract volumes. The virus and extract mixtures were incubated at 20°C for 1 hour and titrated as described above. Controls of cells, the virus and extracts were included. After 96 h of incubation, the plates were examined using an inverted microscope (Leica, Germany) to detect CPE.
Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl -Sigma-Aldrich, USA) in a final concentration of 0.05-0.1% was used as the positive control. NaOCl was diluted in water of standard hardness to a stock concentration. Sodium thiosulphate (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) in distilled water was used to neutralise the activity of NaOCl.
Based on the results of screening for virucidal activity, the extract of D. canadense was chosen for further investigation.

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.
