Single-cell suspensions of 3×105 B16F10 melanoma cells were injected intravenous into the tail vein of the indicated strains of mice. Mice were sacrificed and lungs were harvested on day 14. Lungs from B16F10 injected mice were fixed in PFA 4% overnight to count B16F10 metastases. E0771-GFP+-Luciferase breast cancer cells were injected into the tail vein of the indicated strains of mice (5×105 cells/mouse). Luciferase expression was then monitored at day 7 and 14 by bioluminescence using PhotonIMAGER (BiospaceLab), following intraperitoneal injection of luciferin (30 mg/kg). After completion of the analysis organ luminescence was assessed. Orthotopic implantation of breast tumors and tumor dissociation was performed as previously described.16 (link) Luciferase expression was monitored by bioluminescence using PhotonIMAGER (BiospaceLab), after intraperitoneal injection of luciferin (30 mg/kg).

Ten-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were anesthetized with isoflurane before the injection through the penis vein with a 150 μl final volume of sterile physiological serum containing TRE-Luc (5 × 108 pfu/mouse) and RSV-β-gal (108 pfu/mouse) adenoviruses. Mice were analyzed 4 days after adenovirus delivery. For in vivo imaging, mice infected with indicated adenoviruses were anesthetized and injected (i.p.) with a dose of 30 mg/kg sterile firefly D-luciferin solution (Biosynth AG, Staad, Switzerland). After 3 min, mice were imaged on the Biospace Photon Imager (Biospace, Nesles-la-Vallée, France), and bioluminescence was analyzed with Biospace software. Luciferase activity was normalized to β-galactosidase activity used as an internal control for adenoviral infection.

The Cerenkov Luminescence Imaging of the prostate cancer PC3 tumor-bearing mice was carried out at different time points (15 min, 1 and 2 h) after intravenous injection of [90Y]Y-DOTA-Tz. For the in vivo click chemistry studies in the same PC3 xenografts, a bolus of 1 nmol of TCO-PEG4-AR, dissolved in 0.1 mL of saline, was injected in the tail vein, and after 4 h the [90Y]Y-DOTA-Tz (0.1 mL, 7.5 μCi) was injected. Thereafter, the CLI imaging of the PC3 tumor-bearing mice was carried out at different time points (15 min, 1 h). The images were obtained using PhotonIMAGER™ (BioSpace Lab). The optical imaging system was based on intensified CCD camera (25 mm), which had a minimum detectable radiance of 37 photons/s/sr/cm2, minimum image pixel resolution of 2.5 μm and temporal resolution of 23 ms.

In vitro, MC38-luc cells were seeded into 12-well plates (2 × 105 cells/well) or a 10 cm dish (2 × 107 cells), incubated for 24 hours, then exposed to CD44-IR700 (10 μg/mL) for 6 hours at 37˚C. Cells were treated with LED or NIR laser light (690 ± 5 nm, BWF5–690-8–600-0.37; B&W TEK INC., Newark, DE, USA) in phenol red-free culture medium. For luciferase activity, cells were exposed to D-luciferin (150 μg/mL; Gold Biotechnology, St. Louis, MO, USA) 1 hour after NIR-PIT treatment, and luciferase activity (photons/min) was obtained on a BLI system (Photon Imager; Biospace Lab, Paris, France) using M3 Vision Software (Biospace Lab). In vivo, D-luciferin (15 mg/mL, 200 μL) was injected intraperitoneally, and the mice were analyzed on a BLI system (Photon Imager) for luciferase activity (photons/min/cm2). ROIs were set to include the entire tumor with the adjacent non-tumor region as background.

Hundred micrograms of APC was administered via the tail vein the day before the experiment. Tumors were irradiated with an NIR-laser (690 ± 5 nm) at a 50 J/cm2 energy density (ML7710, Modulight, Inc. Tampere, Finland). Before and after irradiation, fluorescent images were obtained with the Pearl Imager and LIGHTVISION. For bioluminescence imaging (BLI), D-luciferin (15 mg/mL, 200 μL) (Gold Biotechnology, St. Louis, MO) was injected intraperitoneally, and bioluminescence images were obtained with Photon Imager (Biospace Lab, Nesles la Vallee, France), 15 min after injection. ROIs were placed over the entire tumor. The counts per minute of relative light units were calculated using M3 Vision Software (Biospace Lab) and converted to the percentage decrease in light based on a comparison of post NIR-PIT to pretreatment BLI using the following formula: [(relative light units after treatment)/(relative light units before treatment) × 100 (%)].

Leukemia Engraftment in NOD/SCID Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Female non-obese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient mice were purchased from Charles River Laboratories Japan. ALL cells (5 × 106 per 100 μl) infected with a lentiviral vector for Luc2 were injected into the tail vein of non-obese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient mice (age 6–8 weeks). Concentration of L-asp dose in in vivo experiment was decided using the interview form of LEUNASE as reference. The intraperitoneal lethal dose 50 of LEUNASE in mice was estimated to be 10 U/g; therefore, we performed preliminary experiments and ascertained that our mice had a tolerance to repeated intraperitoneal injection of 6 U/g L-asp and 50 mg/kg CQ administration once every day for more than 50 days. Leukemia burden was measured by luciferase activity using a luminometer (Photon Imager, Biospace Lab, Nesles la Vallée, France) after 150 mg/kg D-luciferin (Synchem UG & Co. KG, Felsberg, Germany) injection. All experimental protocols conducted on the mice were approved by the Tokyo Medical and Dental University Animal Care and Use Committee.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To obtain BLI images in MC38-luc tumor–bearing mice, D-luciferin (15 mg/mL, 150 mL; Goldbio, St. Louis, MO, USA) was intraperitoneally injected into mice. Luciferase activity was analyzed with a BLI system (Photon Imager; Biospace Lab, Nesles-la-Vallée, France) using relative light units. Regions of interests (ROIs) were placed over the entire tumor. The counts per minute of relative light units were calculated using M3 Vision Software (Biospace Lab, Nesles-la-Vallée, France) and converted to the percentage decrease in light based on a comparison of post NIR-PIT to pre-therapy BLI using the following formula: (relative light units after treatment)/(relative light units before treatment) × 100 (%); [31 (link)]. BLI was performed before and after NIR-PIT (protocol above) on day 0 to day 7. In vivo IR700 fluorescence images were obtained with a Pearl Imager (LI-COR Biosciences, Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, Germany) with a 700-nm fluorescence channel.

Multimodal Imaging of Orthotopic Prostate Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We used the Photon Imager (Biospace Lab S.A., France), having the advantages of high-throughput, high-resolution, and multispectral analysis, to colocalize the bioluminescent signal and fluorescence signal of the orthotopic PCa. First, the laser scanned the surface topology (including the surface contour and the overall shape of the structure). Then, the 3D module cooperated with the intensified charge-coupled device for optical signal reception. The Atlas coregistration tool combined 3D module acquisition data with anatomical information from the Digimouse Atlas (University of Southern California) to locate the organ of the optical signal. Volumetric bioluminescent signal and fluorescence signal from the 3D module data were reconstructed using the M3Vision Analysis Software (Biospace Lab).

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.
