Dissecting Murine Lymphoid Cell Subsets

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lymphoid cells from bone marrow, thymus and spleen were isolated from 8-week old mice. To reveal T cell progenitor subsets in the thymus, single cell suspensions were stained with conjugated antibodies, specific for CD3-FITC (Biolegend), CD4-APC, CD8a-PerCp-Cy5.5, CD25-PE, CD44-APCCy7 (Biolegend), TCRβ-Pacific Blue (Biolegend). To analyse lymphoid subsets in the spleen, single cell suspensions were stained with CD3-FITC, CD4-APC, CD8a-PerCp-Cy5.5, CD19-APCH7, CD45R(B220)-PacificBlue, IgD-PE (eBioscience), IgM-PECy7 (eBioscience). To define the B cell progenitor subsets, suspensions from the bone marrow were stained with IgD-FITC, CD25-PE, IgM-PECy7 (eBioscience), CD45R (B220)-PacificBlue, CD117 (cKit)-APC (eBioscience), CD19-APCH7. Dead cells were excluded from the analysis by propidium iodide staining. Antibodies were purchased from BD Pharmingen unless mentioned otherwise. Samples were measured on a FACS Fortessa® and analysed using FlowJo® software (Version: 10.0.8r1).

Quantifying MCF-7 Cell Apoptosis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell apoptosis was detected by a TransDetectTM Annexin V-EGFP/PI Cell Apoptosis Detection Kit (TRAN, China). Briefly, 2×105 MCF-7 breast cancer cells were added to the 6-well plates overnight, and MCF-7 cells were harvested after 6-TG treatment for 48 h. Subsequently, the cells were carefully washed with prechilled PBS 2 times and centrifuged at 500 g at 4°C for 5 min. Then, the cells were resuspended in 100 μL of prechilled 1× annexin V-binding buffer, and 5 μL of annexin V-EGFP and 5 μL of PI were added and reacted in the dark at room temperature for 15 min. Finally, 200 μL of 1× annexin V-binding buffer was added. The samples were detected by flow cytometry (BD, FACS Fortessa) and the cell apoptosis was analyzed using FlowJo software.

Cell Cycle Analysis of Irradiated Nestin+ Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Click-iT EdU Alexa Fluor 647 kit was used (#C10424; Thermo Fisher Scientific). Briefly, MGG4 NestinP dTomato cells were seeded at an initial density of 1 × 105 cells/well in 6-well plates. Depending on time points and treatments employed (5 Gy irradiation or preconditioning with bEnd.3 CM), cells were harvested, resuspended as single cell using accutase, washed with PBS and incubated with EdU at a concentration of 10 μM for 2 h at 37 °C. EdU incorporation was subsequently detected by Alexa Fluor 647 azide, followed by Sytox staining as per manufacturer’s protocol (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Using FACS Fortessa and FlowJo 10, the fraction of cells in SubG1, G0/G1, S and G2/M phases were determined in each condition. The histogram plots for fraction of cells in each cell cycle phase was plotted using GraphPad 8 software.

Screening Compounds for CDX2 Induction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A library of all compounds tested in the combinatorial screen can be found in Table S4. To identify positive modulators for CDX2 induction, CDX2-eGFP TSCs were cultured in TX medium for 24 h and then exposed to new TX media containing the different concentrations of individual compounds. After 48 h, CDX2 expressions of TSCs in each condition were analyzed by flow cytometry (FACS Fortessa, and FlowJo). For the experiment in Figure S3B, IGF2 (50 ng/mL) and ZSTK474 (PI3K inhibitor, 200 nM) were added to the medium.

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.
