Chemically inactivated and purified monovalent influenza virus A/Brisbane/59/2007 (H1N1) solution at GMP grade was obtained from Seqirus (Melbourne, Australia) hemagglutinin (HA) (1.6 mg mL−1) determined by Single Radial Immunodiffusion Assay, SRID. Rhodamine B octadecyl ester perchlorate (R18) was purchased from Merck KGaA (The Netherlands) and dissolved in HLPC grade anhydrous ethanol at a final concentration of 10 mM. R18 solution (40 µL) was added to an influenza solution (1 mL) dropwise at room temperature (RT) under continuous stirring at 200 rpm for 15 min. Non-incorporated R18 was removed by separation on a Sephadex G50 column (Merck KGaA). The void volume fraction was collected and further characterized.

The reaction mixture consisting of purified rPhaCAp and 100 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.4) was incubated for 10 min. The reaction mixtures were then loaded onto a Sephadex-G50 column (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) equilibrated with 100 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.4). The reaction mixture containing rPhaCAp was eluted with the same buffer at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. The eluted samples were measured for absorbance at 280 nm, and their retention times were compared to those of molecular standards. The standards used for comparison were alcohol dehydrogenase (150 kDa, 18.5 min), BSA (66 kDa, 24.5 min), and ovalbumin (44 kDa, 27.5 min).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All transcription reactions were performed in 20 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 100 mM KCl, and 20 mM MgCl2. To obtain the transcription complex, the DNA template (450 nM) was incubated for 5 min at 37°C with the E. coli RNAP (900 nM) and σ70 factor (1.4 µM). To initiate transcription elongation, a GUU trinucleotide (10 µM), ATP (2.5 µM), GTP (2.5 µM), and [α-32P] UTP (11 kBq/µL) were added and incubated 10 min at 37°C. Samples were then diluted twice in buffer and were filtered through Sephadex G-50 columns (Sigma-Aldrich). Complete elongation of transcripts was started by the addition of all NTP (25 µM) and heparin (0.9 µg/µL) to allow single round conditions. NusA transcription factor (75 nM) was added to the reaction when required. For each timepoint, a aliquot was taken and the reaction was stopped in chilled formamide (60%). Transcription products were resolved on 8% polyacrylamide gels and quantified using QuantityOne software (Bio-Rad).

R3 monocytes (see “Human monocyte isolation and incubations”) were stimulated with TNF-α (10 ng/mL, 20 min, 37°C) and cells removed by centrifugation (3000 g; 10 min, 4°C) before pelleting microparticles by ultracentrifugation (100000 g; 1 h, 4°C). NPRM were prepared as in Norling et al (10 (link)). Briefly, microparticles were added to thin lipid films in glass flasks (after organic solvent removal by rotary evaporation; 10 min, 25°C) containing fluorescent 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-L-serine-N-7-nitro-2–1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl (100μg; Avanti Polar Lipids, Alabaster, AL), AT-RvD1 (1 μg) and AT-RvD3 (1 μg; prepared by total organic synthesis by Dr. Nicos Petasis (2 (link))). Intercalation of synthetic AT-RvD1, AT-RvD3 and fluorescent phospholipids was carried out using aqueous energy dissemination via a sonic dismembrator (output power 15 W, 15 min, 25°C; Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). The preparations were layered on Sephadex G50 columns (Sigma-Aldrich) and fractions collected in 0.2 mm filtered PBS. The concentrations of AT-RvD1 and AT-RvD3 associated with Resolvin-NPRM were determined using LC-MS-MS.

Example 2

In some embodiments, the particles described herein can be constructed as follows: Microparticles are generated from isolated human neutrophils following stimulation of the neutrophils. Purity of the microparticles can be assessed by Annexin V and CD66 staining. Organic solvents can be evaporated from compounds of interest to be used for tracking and/or treatment. The human microparticles can be added to the compounds of interest and the mixture agitated for 15 minutes.

The microparticle suspension can then be sonicated for 15 minutes at 15 W of output power to obtain compound intercalation to the microparticles. The resulting particles can be run over Sephadex G50 columns (Sigma) and fractions collected in 0.2 μm-filtered DPBS for subsequent analysis. Incorporation of a compound of interest can be established using appropriate methodology. For example, lipid mediators can be assessed by ELISA where available or LC-MS/MS-based methods. Similarly, incorporation of a tracking agent can be assessed using appropriate methodology. The size of the particles can be characterized using calibration beads of flow-cytometry and/or conventional electron microscopy.

Cl flux assay was conducted as described previously21 (link),24 (link),52 (link). Liposomes with Ca2+ or EGTA introduced were equilibrated in external buffer with low KCl (1 mM KCl, 300 mM Na-glutamate, 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.4) by spinning through a Sephadex G50 column (Sigma-Aldrich) pre-equilibrated in external buffer. To complete the experiment, 0.2 mL of the flow through from the G50 column was added to 1.8 ml of external solution and the total Cl content of the liposomes was measured using an Ag:AgCl electrode after disruption of the vesicle by addition of 40 μL of 1.5 M n-octyl-β-D- glucopyranoside (Anatrace). The fraction of liposomes containing at least one active nhTMEM16 ion channel, A, was quantified as follows: A=100*1ΔClΔClPF where ΔCl is the change in [Cl] recorded upon detergent addition and ΔClPF is the Cl content of protein-free liposomes prepared in the same lipid composition on the same day.

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.
