M2 macrophages were seeded into 24-well polystyrene TC-treated microplates. Some cells were incubated with 500 μg/mL of mannose (Sigma) for 2 hours to partially block mannose receptors and rinsed twice with PBS with calcium and magnesium. Cells were exposed to 150 μg/mL of mannose-IPC-SPIOs in cell culture media for 1, 3, or 6 hours. Cell media was aspirated, and cells were rinsed twice with PBS supplemented with calcium and magnesium. Control cells were not exposed to nanoparticles. The absorbance of nanoparticles attached to cells was measured at 450 nm using a plate reader (BioTek). Control cells were used to obtain baseline cellular absorbance, and all other data points were compared to this control sample.

chitosan-based NPs encapsulating KAg (CS NPs-KAg) and mannosylated chitosan-based NPs encapsulating KAg (mCS NPs-KAg) vaccines were prepared using an ionic gelation method as previously described (24 (link)). For mannose-conjugated chitosan (mCS) preparation, 40 mg each of mannose (Sigma, MO) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (Sigma, MO) mixture in 0.2 M borate buffer was slowly added into 200 mg chitosan [1% (w/v)] suspension (25 (link)) under magnetic stirring for 72 h at 56°C (34 (link)). The mCS was dialyzed against milli-Q-water for 48 h. Both chitosan and mannose modified chitosan were dissolved in 1% acetic acid solution. Twenty milligrams of mCS or chitosan were added into 20 ml milli-Q-water under magnetic stirring, pH was adjusted to 4.3 and mixed with 2 mg KAg (H1N2-OH10) in 3-(N-morpholino) propanesulfonic acid (MOPS) buffer pH 7.4. Followed by tripolyphosphate [1% (w/v) (Sigma, MO)] 5 mg in 10 ml milli-Q-water was added dropwise and the mCS NPs-KAg or CS NPs-KAg vaccines were obtained after centrifugation at 10,976 × g for 30 min, washed, dispersed in milli-Q-water and used for vaccination. Both the vaccines had ~80% antigen encapsulation efficiency and characterized as described previously (24 (link), 25 (link)). Both the chitosan-based vaccine formulations were freshly prepared and used in animals.

Protein-Sugar Solution Preparation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BSA, sucrose, and sucralose were procured from Sigma-Aldrich (St.
Louis, MO). Mannose and trehalose were purchased from Merck &
Co. Inc. (Kenilworth, NJ). BSA concentrations of ∼30, 40, 60,
80, and 90 mg mL–1 were prepared by dissolving appropriate
amounts of lyophilized BSA powder in milliQ water. For preparation
of protein–sugar solutions, 0.1, 0.4, and 0.7 M solutions of
trehalose, sucrose, and Mannose were prepared, to which BSA was added
to obtain constant protein concentrations of 40 mg mL–1. For sucralose, the highest concentration of sugar used was limited
to 0.5 M due to its low solubility in water. The protein–sugar
solutions were hence prepared with sucralose concentrations of 0.1,
0.3, and 0.5 M. Protein concentrations were spectrophotometrically
verified by UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using a Cary 50 Bio UV–vis
spectrometer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). UV spectra of
the prepared protein and protein–sugar solutions were recorded
using a 1 mm cuvette and an absorption coefficient of 42 925
M–1 cm–1.32

EPS monosaccharide composition was determined by acid hydrolysis of the lyophilized and rehydrated samples using 5% (v/v) perchloric acid (70%) at 100 °C for 5 h [42 (link)]. After filtration, hydrolyzed samples were analyzed using a HPLC Dionex DX500 system equipped with a GP50 gradient pump, an ED40 Electrochemical Detector in Pulsed Amperometric Detection (HPAEC-PAD), and Dionex PeakNet 5.11 chromatographic software. The chromatographic separation of sugars was carried out using a Dionex CarboPac PA1 column heated at 30 °C and a Carbopac PA1 guard column in isocratic mode with an elution of 150 mm NaOH at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min [43 (link)]. Identification and quantification of the main monosaccharides was performed by integrating calibration peaks obtained from the relevant standards solutions of arabinose, glucose, fructose, and mannose, all purchased from Merck KGaA (Darmstadt, Germany).

Monosaccharide Profiling of Fucoidan by HPLC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The content of monosaccharides in fucoidan was determined after acid hydrolysis. Five milligrams of fucoidan standard (Sigma-Aldrich. Co,. Spruce St. Louis, USA, Product of Australia) was dissolved in 1 ml HPLC grade water then treated with 1 ml of 4 M trifluoroacetic acid. The solution was heated for 2 hours at 100°C then filtered by 0.45 µm pore size filter (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany). The filtrate was neutralized with 0.1M NaOH and then evaporated with liquid nitrogen until the remaining volume of 0.5 ml. The content of monosaccharides of the fucoidan hydrolyzate was analyzed by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) (Shimadzu, SIL-10AD) using a refractive index detector (RID) equipped with a ligand-exchange column for Carbohydrate (Agilent Hi-Plex H, 7.7 × 100 mm) eluted with 0.005 M H 2 SO 4 at a flow rate of 0.7 ml/min. A sample of 20 µl was injected with separation time of 30 minutes. The standard monosaccharides used were fucose (Nacalai Tesque, Kyoto, Japan), glucose (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany), galactose (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany), rhamnose (Cica Reagen, Kanto Chemical, Tokyo, Japan), mannose (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) and xylose (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany).

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.
