Proviral load was quantified by qPCR using three target sequences synthesized using the TaqMan® system (Life Technologies, Foster City, CA, United States), according to a previously described protocol by Tamegão-Lopes et al. (2006) (link), namely, collection of 5 mL of whole blood for DNA extraction from leukocytes, followed by relative quantification using real-time PCR. The obtained results were further adjusted to an absolute proviral quantification by considering the leukocyte counts per mm3, and the results were expressed as DNA proviral copies/mm3.

Infarcted brain tissue and a corresponding nonaffected region that, when possible, was the mirror region of the contralateral hemisphere, was dissected out at necropsy, immediately frozen, and kept at −80°C. For RNA extraction, we used TrizolVR Reagent (Life Technologies) followed by PureLinkTM RNA Mini Kit (#12183018 A, Invitrogen), and assessed RNA quantity and quality using a ND‐1000 micro‐spectrophotometer (NanoDrop Technologies). Thousand nanogram of total RNA was reverse‐transcribed and the final product was diluted six times in RNAse‐free water. Real‐time quantitative RT–PCR analysis was carried out with Taqman system (#4304437, Life Technology, Carlsbad, CA, USA) using iCycler iQTM Multicolor Real‐Time Detection System (Bio‐Rad). The Taqman primers used were: PLIN2 (#Hs00605340_m1) and ISG15 (#Hs01921425_s1). GAPDH (#Hs03929097_g1) was used as the housekeeping gene.

Total RNA was isolated from 75 tendon fragments stored in RNAlater using RNeasy Fibrous Mini Kit (Qiagen) in line with manufacturers' recommended procedures. Reverse transcription reactions were processed using a High-Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Applied Biosystems, Carlsbad, CA, USA). The relative mRNA expression of VEGF-A, CD34, and FGF-2 was evaluated by real-time PCR using the 7500 Real-Time PCR System, primers, and probes of the TaqMan system (all from Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA). The primers and probes used in the reactions included Rn01511601_m1 for VEGF-A, Rn03416140_m1 for CD34, Rn00570809_m1 for FGF-2 and Rn99999916_s1 for GAPDH. Real-time PCR reactions were performed on 96-well plates (Life Technologies) at a set time and temperature, including polymerase activation at 50°C for 2 minutes, preliminary denaturation at 94°C for 10 minutes, denaturation at 94°C for 15 s, and annealing of primers, probes, and synthesis at 60°C for 1 min at 40 cycles. The results were standardized based on expression of GAPDH and the relative expression (RQ) of the studied genes was calculated using the ΔΔCt method [19 (link)]. The sample characterized by the lowest ΔCt was used as a calibrator in all the calculations.

The relative expression levels of TLR9 mRNA were measured by real-time quantitative PCR based on the TaqMan® System (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, United States) within the StepOne Plus Real-Time PCR system 2.2.3 (Applied Biosystems) using a specific TaqMan probe for TLR9 (H00002973_m1) and two reference genes, GUSB (Hs00187320_m1) and TBP (Hs00187332_m1) which were tested in a previous study[19 (link)]. A pool of normal H. pylori-negative gastric tissue samples was used as a calibrator. All reactions were performed in triplicate and included a negative reaction control.

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.
