Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
When indicated, mice were challenged on three consecutive days with 0.5 µg/mouse in 50 µl of carrier-free rmIL-33 or rmIL-25 (BioLegend) diluted in PBS. On day 4, lungs were collected and processed to single cell suspensions for the indicated readout. Briefly, following transcardial perfusion with PBS 1× to clear lungs of red blood cells, collected lungs were then digested in collagenase Type IV (400 U/ml) at 37°C for 1 h and processed to single cell suspension through a 70-mm nylon cell strainer (Falcon) as described previously (20 (link), 21 (link)). For experiments involving bone marrow cells, cells were isolated by flushing the bone with 5 ml ice cold PBS 1× from one tibia using a 25-G syringe (Becton Dickinson), red blood cells were lysed and cells used for the indicated experiment. For experiments involving peripheral blood, 2 ml of blood was collected via heart puncture using a 27-G needle syringe (Becton Dickinson) and kept in PBS 1% EDTA, red blood cells were lysed, and peripheral blood cells used for the indicated experiment. In experiments involving in vivo antibody blocking antibodies, 100 µg anti-ICAM-1 (YN1/1.7.4, BioXcell), anti-ICAM-2 (3C4, Biolegend) or corresponding isotype controls were injected through the tail-vein on days 1, 2, and 3 prior rmIL-33 intranasal challenge.

Hepatic lymphocytes were isolated from the liver as described previously [13 (link)] with some modifications. Briefly, livers were perfused with pre-warmed PBS to flush blood from the hepatic vasculature and were forced through a 70 mm nylon cell strainer (BD Falcon, Franklin Lakes, NJ). After washing, cell pellets were suspended in 5 ml of pre-warmed Ca2+/Mg2+-free HBSS supplemented with 10% FBS, 0.05% Collagenase type II (Sigma) and 500 U/ml DNAase type I (Sigma) and digested at 37°C for 30 minutes. Cells were then layered onto 40% Percoll solution (Axis-Shield) in RPMI 1640 for density separation, and centrifuged at 2000 g for 15 minutes at 4°C without brakes. Cell yields and viabilities were determined by trypan blue exclusion microscopy.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Four tumor samples were prepared as previously described [21 (link)]. In brief, the freshly obtained surgical tumor samples were cut into approximately 1 mm3 pieces and incubated in DMEM + collagenase IV (1 mg/ml) + DNase (15 μg/ml) for 20 to 40 min at 37 °C. After tissue digestion, cell suspensions were subsequently passed through a 70-mm nylon cell strainer (Falcon). The remaining tissue pieces were mechanically dissociated using the back of a syringe over the cell strainer. All the cell samples were subsequently centrifuged for 10 min at 400 g. After centrifugation, cells were resuspended in 1 × phosphate-buffered saline (Invitrogen) with 1% fetal bovine serum. From single-cell suspensions, lymphocytes were isolated using Ficoll-Paque PLUS solution (Sigma-Aldrich).
Lymphocytes were stained with the following antibodies: APC/Cy7 anti-human CD45 (HI30), PE anti-human CD3 (OKT3), PE/Cy7 anti-human CD4 (OKT4), and PerCP/Cy5.5 anti-human CD8 (SK1) from Biolegend. CD4 + T cells and CD8 + T cells were sorted using the FACSAria III (BD).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Intestines were washed in ice-cold PBS (Mg2+/Ca2+ (Corning, cat # 21-031-CM), containing 2% BSA (Gemini Bio-products, cat #900–208) and 2% antibiotic-antimycotic (Gibco, cat #15240–062). Crypts and villi were exposed by dicing the intestines into small pieces (1–2 cm long), followed by extensive washes to remove contaminants. Then, a gentle cell dissociation reagent (Stem cell technologies, cat #7174) was used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, intestinal pieces were incubated on a gently rotating platform for 15 min. After that, the gentle cell dissociation reagent was removed and the intestines were washed 3 times with a PBS wash buffer with vigorous pipetting. The first and second fractions that usually contain loose pieces of mesenchyme and villi were not used. Fractions three and four containing the intestinal crypts were collected and pooled. Isolated crypts were filtered through a 70mm nylon cell strainer (Falcon, cat #352350). Crypts were counted, then embedded in Matrigel (Corning, growth factor reduced, cat #354230), and cultured in Intesticult organoid growth medium (Stem cell technologies, cat #6005). For mouse colon organoids, additional Wnt3a (300 ng/μL, R&D, cat #5036-WN-010) was added. Intestinal organoids used in this study were generated from WT and APCmin/+ mice at 37°C, 5% CO2.

E10.5 double transgenic hearts were dissected, pooled and digested with 0.25% Trypsin/EDTA (Invitrogen), neutralized in DMEM (Invitrogen) containing 5% FBS and 10 mmol l−1 HEPES (Invitrogen), rinsed and resuspended in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and passed through a 70-mm nylon cell strainer (Falcon). Samples were sorted on a FacsAria flow cytometer (BD) using Influx software. Samples were gated to exclude debris and cell clumps. The number of E10.5 AV canal GFP cells and chambers–Katushka cells per embryo obtained were typically 600–900 and 2,400–3,600, respectively. Fluorescent cells were collected into PBS and processed for RNA extraction or ChIP-seq.

The procedure for
isolating the astrocytes from neonatal rats was approved by the Institutional
Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) and completed at Wichita State
University in Wichita, Kansas.42 (link),43 (link) In brief, cerebral
cortexes were isolated from the brains of neonatal rats (postnatal
day P1-2 rats) after they were sacrificed. The cortex tissues were
triturated gently through a 5 mL syringe with a needle. The tissue
suspension was passed through a 70 mm nylon cell strainer (BD Falcon,
Durham, NC), and the flow-through was collected with a 50 mL conical
tube. The isolated cells were cultured for about 7–14 days.
After reaching confluency, the cultures were shaken to remove macrophages
and progenitor cells. The adherent astrocytes were cultured subsequently
for cell–nanofiber interaction. The cells were grown in Dulbecco’s
modified Eagle medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and
1% penicillin/streptomycin (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY).
The medium was changed every 2–3 days, and the cell culture
was incubated with 5% CO2 at 37 °C.

Mice were immunized s.c. with 50 μg of OVA-derived SIINFEKL peptide (OVA-1). The SIINFEKL peptide was co-administered with PBS, Hp91 (250 μg), or scrambled Hp91 (250 μg). Peptides were re-suspended in PBS for all immunizations. Mice were boosted two weeks later and spleens and blood were collected one week after the final immunization. Single cell suspensions of splenocytes were prepared by mechanical disruption and separation through a 70 mm nylon cell strainer (BD Biosciences). Red blood cells were lysed using ammonium chloride buffer (Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN) and the splenocytes were subsequently re-suspended in RPMI 1640 medium (Invitrogen) supplemented with 10 mM HEPES (Invitrogen), penicillin (100 U/ml), streptomycin (100 μg/ml), L-glutamine (2 mM) (Invitrogen), and 5% (vol/vol) fetal calf serum (Omega).

For pulmonary leukocyte isolation, lungs were cut into small pieces and then digested in RPMI medium containing 5% fetal calf serum, 250 U/ml of type IV collagenase (Invitrogen), 100 mg/ml of DNase I (Roche), and 1 mmol/l of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (pH 8.0), at 37 °C for 30 min. The homogenate was then filtered with a 70-mm nylon cell strainer (BD Biosciences), washed with HBSS medium, and resuspended in 40% Percoll (Amersham Pharmacia) in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (BioWhittaker). The suspension was underlaid with 80% Percoll and centrifuged for 25 min at 1000×g. Leukocytes were collected from the interphase, washed, and enumerated on Sysmex KX-21. Fluorescent-conjugated antibodies used for analyses included CD3 (clone 500A2, 145-2C11), CD8 (clone 53–6.7), and CD4 (clone GK1.5), which were obtained from BD Biosciences Pharmingen; MHC II (clone M5/114.15.2), Gr-1 (clone RB6-8C5), B220 (clone RA3-6B2), CD11c (clone N418), F4/80 (clone BM8), CD11b (clone M1/70), and PD-L1 (12-5983-42), which were obtained from eBioscience; and CD45 (clone 30-F11), which was obtained from Invitrogen.

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.
