Interferon γ ifn γ

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) is a cytokine that plays a crucial role in the immune system. It is produced by various cell types, including T cells and natural killer cells, and is involved in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses. IFN-γ has a core function of activating macrophages, enhancing antigen presentation, and promoting the differentiation of Th1 cells, which are important for cell-mediated immunity.

PBL transmigration was assessed using a 12-well format as previously described (24 (link)). First passage HUVECs were seeded onto 12-well tissue culture plates at a density to yield a confluent monolayer within 24 hours. The HUVECs were stimulated with 100 U/ml tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) (R&D Systems) and 10 ng/ml interferon-γ (IFN-γ) (PreproTech) for 24 hours prior to carrying out adhesion assays with lymphocytes. HUVECs were washed with M199 0.15% BSA to remove residual cytokines and purified PBLs were added. The PBLs were allowed to settle, adhere and transmigrate through the HUVEC monolayer at 37 °C in a CO2 incubator for 7 minutes, a time point previously shown to yield a sufficient proportion of migrated PBLs (25 (link)). Non-adherent cells were removed from the HUVECs by gently washing with M199 0.15% BSA, and video recordings of five fields of view of the endothelial monolayer were made using phase-contrast video microscopy. The video recordings were analysed using Image-Pro Plus software (DataCell). Each PBL was classified as either phase bright and adherent to the surface of the HUVEC monolayer, or phase dark with altered morphology and migrating below the HUVEC monolayer. The percentage of adherent PBL that had transmigrated was calculated.

For analysis of early stimulation on day 3, unlabeled PBMCs were retrieved from culture and stained with monoclonal antibodies as indicated: fluorescein isothiocyanate–conjugated CD4 and CD8 (Immuno Tools, Friesoythe, Germany), phycoerythrin‐conjugated CD25 and CD69 (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA). For late proliferation control, PKH‐26–stained PBMCs were analyzed on day 10. Additional staining for CD4 and CD8 was performed to distinguish T cell subpopulations. Expanded Tregs were excluded during gating for analysis by CellVue‐labeling (Supporting Fig. 1) to prevent confounding. Flow cytometric measurements were performed using a FACSCalibur (BD Biosciences), and results were analyzed by FACSDiva software.
Hepatocytes retrieved from MLHCs on day 10 were stained with allophycocyanin‐conjugated anti–HLA‐DR for detection of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II expression. MHC class II expression also was examined on PHH monocultures stimulated with interferon γ (IFNγ) (100 ng/mL; Peprotech, Rocky Hill, NJ) for 3 days, with nonstimulated cells serving as control. Flow cytometric analyses were performed using a FACSCanto II (BD Biosciences).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
293T cells and RAW264.7 cells of the mouse macrophage cell line were obtained from the Cell Bank of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Peritoneal macrophage (PM) was derived from peritoneal dropsy of female C57BL/6 mice (8-10 weeks old) according to previous study 30 (link). In brief, mice were injected with 2 ml 3% fluid thioglycolate medium brewer modified (BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) to elicit peritoneal macrophage. After 4 days, the mice were sacrificed, and the peritoneal cavity of mice were injected with 5ml pre-chilled 1×PBS buffer followed by massage for 5min. Peritoneal macrophage were immediately collected. All cells were cultured in DMEM (Bioind, Kibbuiz, Israel) containing 10% FBS (Bioind, Kibbuiz, Israel) and 1% penicillin/ streptomycin. The cells were maintained in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2 at 37°C.
To generate M1 macrophages, RAW264.7 cells and PM were stimulated with 100ng/ml lipopolysaccharides (LPS) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and 20ng/ml interferon-γ (IFNγ) (Peprotech, Chicago, IL, USA) for 24h.

Bone marrow-derived macrophages were obtained from male and female C57BL/6 wildtype mice (5–7 months old), which were received from the animal facility of the University Hospital Frankfurt. The mice were euthanized and both legs together with the hip were extracted. Tibias, femurs and the hip were individually flushed with sterile PBS, the cell suspension was collected, centrifuged and the pellet resuspended in ACK buffer (Lonza) to remove erythrocytes. The obtained white pellet was resuspended in DMEM containing 20 ng/ml macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) (Biotrend) and 4×106 cells per well were seeded on a 6 well plate. After 7 days of differentiation macrophages were activated overnight in DMEM containing 25 ng/ml interferon-γ (IFN-γ) (PeProtech) and 100 ng/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (Enzo Life Science) for M1 cells; and 25 ng/ml interleukin-4 (PeProTech) for M2 cells. DMEM was supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (Sigma-Aldrich) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Sigma-Aldrich).

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.
