Antibodies were sourced as follows: AMG655 (conatumumab) was sourced from Amgen Inc (Thousand Oaks, CA, USA); FADD mouse monoclonal antibody was from BD transduction laboratories (catalog #556402); N‐terminal specific procaspase 8 antibody was purchased from Abcam (catalog #ab32125); C‐terminal specific procaspase‐8 antibody was purchased from Enzo® life sciences (catalog # ALX‐804‐242‐C100); FLIP antibody (NF6; catalog # AG‐20B‐0056‐C100) was purchased from Adipogen; TRAIL‐R2 was purchased from Cell signalling technology (catalog #3696); and procaspase‐10 was purchased from MBL international (catalog #M059‐3). Horseradish peroxidase‐conjugated secondary antibodies were purchased from cell signalling technology; LI‐COR mouse (IRDye® 800CW) and rabbit (IRDye® 680CW) secondary antibodies were purchased from LI‐COR. MS‐275 (entinostat) was obtained from Selleck Chemicals (Newmarket, UK); annexin V‐FITC was obtained from BD biosciences; and z‐Val‐Ala‐Asp(OME)‐FMK (zVAD‐FMK) was purchased from Sigma‐Aldrich (Gillingham, UK). Transfections were completed using FuGENE® HD transfection reagent (Promega, UK). The Dynabead® antibody coupling kit and a Dynamag™‐2 magnetic rack were obtained from Life Technologies (Paisley, UK). FADD peptides were generated by Almac Sciences (Edinburgh, UK).

DR5-Mediated Death-Inducing Signaling Complex Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
AMG655 (Conatumumab) was a kind gift from Amgen. This fully humanised antibody, which recognises the extracellular region of DR5, was conjugated to Dynabeads® using the antibody coupling kit from Invitrogen as per manufacturer’s instructions. For the DR5 DISC assay, 30μL of Dynabeads® coated with 5μg of AMG655 was added to 2×106 cells and incubated for 1hr. The cells were then lysed in DISC buffer (0.2% NP-40, 20 mM Tris-HCL (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol). The AMG655-coated Dynabeads® were collected and washed 5 times in DISC buffer prior to resuspension in Laemmli buffer and analysis by Western blotting. Supernatants and inputs were also collected and analysed by Western blotting.

Evaluating TRAIL-induced Cell Viability

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two thousand cells per well were seeded into 96-well plates and cultured for 72 h in the presence of increasing concentrations of recombinant human TRAIL (R&D systems, Minneapolis, USA), AMG655 (Amgen, Thousand Oaks, CA, USA) or APG880 (Apogenix, Heidelberg, Germany) as indicated. Cell viability was determined by Cristal Violet staining (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) as previously described [33 (link)]. IC50 were calculated using GraphPad Prism v9.4.0 software modelization. Molecular weights are reported in Table S2.

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.
