Type-I IFN Activation in Macrophages

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Interferon stimulating DNA (ISD) and Poly(dG:dC) were obtained from InvivoGen (tlrl-pgcn, tlrl-isdn). To activate type-I IFN response in macrophages, ISD or Poly(dG:dC) were mixed with Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen, L3000150) at a ratio of 1:1 (v/w), and then added to cells at a final concentration of 1 μg/ml.

ISD was synthesized from custom oligos as previously described (55 (link)). Recombinant IFNγ was purchased from Peprotech (#300-02). DNase I (Bio-Rad #7326828), S1 Nuclease (Thermofisher #EN0321), and RNase A/T1 Cocktail (Thermofisher #AM2286) were purchased from the indicated vendors. VACV Copenhagen strain WT and ΔF1L were a kind gift of John Bell (56 (link)) and titered by plaque assay.

Assessing Innate Immune Responses in Whole Blood

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human whole blood was incubated in round-bottom 96-well plates with test compounds or controls for 6 hr and 45 min at a drug to blood volume ratio of 1:40. After incubation, the plasma was stored at −80°C until required.
ELISA was performed on the samples to measure C3a and C5a (Quidel nos. AO32 and AO25) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP1) concentrations (Aushon human arrays nos. 101-261-1-AB and 51-100-1-AB) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Compounds were investigated at 50 μM in triplicates. Assay controls included PBS, zymosan (“alternative pathway,” Sigma no. Z4250), heat aggregated immunoglobulin G (IgG) (“classical pathway,” Tecomedical no. A114), stop solution (“inhibitor,” Tecomedical no. A9576), R848 (InvivoGen no. tlrl-r848), CpG (InvivoGen no. tlrl-2006-1), and poly(dG:dC) (InvivoGen no. tlrl-pgcn).
The stimulation index was calculated relative to PBS-induced values and represented as mean + SD of blood samples originating from 3 donors.

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.
