MEFs and HeLa S3 cells were maintained in DMEM (Invitrogen) supplemented with 10% calf serum and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. Splenic B cells were maintained in RPMI (Invitrogen) supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% penicillin/streptomycin, 1% nonessential amino acids (Life Technologies), 1% sodium pyruvate (Life Technologies), 50 μM β-mercaptoethanol, 5 ng/ml murine IL-4 (Life Technologies), 0.5 μg/ml RP105 (552128; BD Pharmingen), and 25 μg/ml LPS (Sigma-Aldrich).

Murine Splenic B Cell Isolation and Retroviral Infection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Resting splenic B cells were isolated from 8- to 12-week-old mice with anti-CD43 microbeads (anti-Ly48; Miltenyi Biotech) and were cultured with lipopolysaccharide (25 μg ml−1; Sigma) and interleukin-4 (5 ng ml−1; Sigma) and RP105 (0.5 μg ml−1; BD)41 (link). Stimulated B cells were infected with retrovirus-CRE to ensure high level of deletions of Brca2 in these cells.

MEF and B cell manipulation for CSR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Wild-type, BRCA1Δ11/Δ11, 53BP1−/− and BRCA1Δ11/Δ1153BP1−/− mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) have been described (10 (link)). Resting B cells were isolated from spleen using anti-CD43 microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec) and stimulated to proliferate with 25 μg/ml LPS, 5 ng/ml IL-4 (both Sigma-Aldrich) and 0.5 μg/ml RP105 (BD PharMingen) (10 (link)). To overexpress RNF168, constructs encoding human RNF168WT or RNF168R57D (9 (link)) were subcloned into the pMX-PIE-IRES-GFP retroviral vector and used to transfect BOSC23 cells along with the pCL-Eco helper virus. Retroviral supernatant was collected 40–48 h later for infection of MEFs and B cells as previously described (38 (link)). pMX-PIE-based retroviruses encoding 53BP1DB and 53BP1DN have been described (11 (link),28 (link)). Class switch recombination was assayed on days 3 and 4 using biotinylated anti-IgG1 and fluorochrome-conjugated anti-B220 antibodies (BD PharMingen).

Analyzing B Cell Proliferation and Genomic Instability

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
B cells were isolated from WT or mutant spleen with anti-CD43 Microbeads (anti-Ly48; Miltenyi Biotec) and were cultured with LPS (25 µg/ml; Sigma-Aldrich), IL-4 (5 ng/ml; Sigma-Aldrich), and RP105 (0.5 µg/ml; BD). Cell proliferation was analyzed by CFSE (5 µM; Molecular Probes) labeling at 37°C for 10 min. For cell cycle analysis, B cells were fixed in methanol and stained with propidium iodide (PI). BrdU incorporation and detection was performed as described (Bunting et al., 2012 (link)). Samples were acquired on a FACSCalibur (BD). For genomic instability analysis, B cells were harvested after 2 d in culture; metaphase spreads were generated and processed for FISH analysis as previously described (Callen et al., 2013 (link)). PARP inhibitor (KU58948; Astra Zeneca) was added to cells stimulated ex vivo for one day.

Expansion and activation of hematopoietic cells

Sorted LSK were cultured in 96-well plates containing 100 µL StemSpan supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin, 1% L-glutamine, 100 µM β-mercaptoethanol (Sigma), 10 ng/mL TPO, and 50 ng/mL SCF (Peprotech Inc), with or without MMC. Cells were seeded at a density of 100,000/mL in triplicate and maintained at less than 1 million/mL throughout culture by subculture into fresh media. Viable cells were counted using a Hemacytometer (Hausser Scientific) using Trypan Blue (STEMCELL technologies).
Splenic B cells were cultured in 6-well plates containing 2.5 mL RPMI (Invitrogen) supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% penicillin/streptomycin, 1% nonessential amino acids (Life Technologies), 1% sodium pyruvate (Life Technologies), 50 µM β-mercaptoethanol, 5 ng/mL murine IL-4 (Life Technologies), 0.5 µg/mL RP105 (BD Pharmingen, 552128, 1:100), and 25 µg/mL LPS (Sigma).

Replication Dynamics in Mature B Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Replication timing profiles were determined using TimEX as described (Bartholdy et al., PMID: 25987481) with minor modifications. The S/G1 TimEX ratio, proportional to the replication time during S phase, was measured in mature splenic B cells from wild-type C57BL/6NCr mice. The G1 population was obtained from mature resting B cells (100% G0/G1 arrested), which were isolated using anti-CD43 MicroBeads (Miltenyi Biotech) for negative selection. To obtain the S-phase population, the resting B cells were activated with LPS (25 mg/ml; Sigma), IL-4 (5 ng/ml; Sigma) and RP105 (0.5 mg/ml; BD) for 48 hours (~70% S-phase). 5 million cells were collected for both populations, and whole genome sequencing was performed using standard lllumina library prep and sequenced on HiSeq 2000.

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.
