The androgen-dependent human prostate carcinoma cell line LNCaP-FGC (ATCC CRL-1740) was cultured in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% FBS (Atlanta Biologicals, Lawrenceville, GA) at 37°C in 5% CO2. The LV shuttle vector, LV-SFFVEGFP, has self-inactivating long terminal repeats (LTRs), an internal spleen focus-forming virus promoter driving EGFP expression, and R6Kγ origin of replication and a neomycin phosphotransferase gene. Vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein pseudotyped vector stocks were made by PEI-mediated transfection of HEK-293T cells as previously described
[64 (link)]. Functional titers were determined by transduction of HT-1080 fibrosarcoma cells. Cells were cultured for 14 days post vector exposure prior to use in experiments.

Evaluation of B. abortus Strains

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RAW264.7 cells (American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA) and human macrophages were used to evaluate znBAZ survival in comparison to wt B. abortus strain 2308, RB51 vaccine, and the single ΔznuA B. abortus mutant. Human macrophages were isolated as previously described [18 (link)], and approval for use of human peripheral blood was obtained from the University of Florida Institutional Review Board. Infection conditions were identical to those previously described [15 (link), 16 (link)]. After overnight culture in complete medium (CM; RPMI 1640, 10% fetal bovine serum [Atlanta Biologicals, GA], 10 mM HEPES buffer, 10 mM nonessential amino acids, 10 mM sodium pyruvate), cells were infected with a bacteria-to-macrophage ratio of 30:1 for 1 h at 37°C. Wells were washed twice with CM without antibiotics and then incubated with 50 μg/ml of gentamicin (Life Technologies) for 30 min at 37°C. After washing twice, fresh CM without antibiotics (1.0 ml/well) was added, and cells were incubated for an additional 4, 24, or 48 h.

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.
