Lps tlr4

Manufactured by InvivoGen
Sourced in United States

LPS (TLR4) is a laboratory product that functions as a ligand for the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). TLR4 is a pattern recognition receptor that binds to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a major component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. The interaction between LPS and TLR4 is a key step in the innate immune response to bacterial infection.

Pam3CSK4 (TLR1/2) and LPS (TLR4) were obtained from InvivoGen (Carlsbad, CA, USA). Mouse recombinant IFN-β was purchased from PBL InterferonSource (now PBL Assay Science, Piscataway, NJ, USA) and mouse IFN-γ was from R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN, USA). Antibodies used in this study were obtained as follows. Anti-H-PGDS and Anti-COX-2 antibodies were produced by Cayman Chemical (Ann Arbor, MI, USA). Anti-STAT1 and anti-pY701-STAT1 antibodies were from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA, USA). Anti-actin antibody was from BD Biosciences (Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). PGs were purchased from Cayman Chemical (Ann Arbor, MI, USA). All other chemicals were from Sigma (St. Louis, MO, USA), unless stated otherwise.

Standardized Cytokine Profiling Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To minimize technical artifacts, we used a highly standardized, stringently controlled protocol as described previously (50) . Briefly, premade 96-well plates contained the following specific PRR ligands were prepared: PAM3CSK4 (PAM; TLR2/1; InvivoGen) at 1 g/ml; LPS (TLR4; InvivoGen) at 10 ng/ml; R848 (TLR7/8; InvivoGen) at 10 M and media alone. Whole blood, diluted 1:1 with sterile prewarmed RPMI 1640, was added to each well containing the specific TLR ligands.
For the intracellular cytokine staining (ICS), 10 µg/ml of brefeldin A (final concentration -Sigma-Aldrich) was added to each well, and samples were incubated for 6h at 37°C in 5% CO2, then treated with 2 mM EDTA (final concentration) for 10 min at 37°C. The cells were collected and resuspended in BD FACS Lysing Solution, placed into fresh tubes, and stored at -80°C.
For multiplex analysis, samples were incubated with whole blood for 24h at 37°C in 5% CO2.
The supernatant was collected and stored at -80°C.

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.
