Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Renca cell line (syngeneic to BALB/c mice) was purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC; Manassas, VA, USA), engineered to express firefly luciferase, and cultured as described [4 (link),29 (link),32 (link)]. Cells were confirmed negative for mycoplasma, passaged, and used at the same passage number to limit experimental variation. Intrarenal tumor challenges and bioluminescent imaging (BLI) using an IVIS Lumina III Imager (Perkin Elmer; Waltham, MA, USA; University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Small Animal Imaging Facility) were performed as described [4 (link),29 (link),32 (link)]. At day six post-tumor challenge, BLI was used to assess tumor burdens in live mice prior to therapy randomization. At day seven post-tumor challenge, mice were re-injected in the tumor-bearing kidney with either sterile saline or 109 pfu of replication-deficient adenovirus (Ad) encoding a membrane-bound version of full-length murine TRAIL protein (University of Iowa Viral Vector Core) plus 100 µg CpG1826 (Integrated DNA Technologies) (AdT/CpG treatment) and further randomized to receive no therapy, InVivoMAb polyclonal Armenian hamster IgG control (BioXCell; Lebanon, NH, USA), or InVivoMAb anti (α)-mouse CTLA-4 (clone UC10-4F10-11; BioXCell) i.p. at a dose of 100 μg/mouse on days 10, 13, and 16 post-tumor challenge.

On days 10, 13 and 16 post-tumor challenge, mice received intraperitoneal injections of saline, 250 µg of Rat IgG2a Isotype Control (Clone: 2A3, BioXCell), or 250 µg of anti-PD-1 (Rat IgG2a, clone: RMP1-14, BioXCell). In some experiments, tumor-challenged mice receiving AdTR/CpG/PD-1 were injected i.p. every 3 days with saline or neutralizing antibody against CCL5 (50 µg/mouse, clone: 53405, R&D Systems) or interleukin (IL)-1β (20 mg/kg, clone: B122, BioXCell) beginning at day 5 or day −5 relative to tumor challenge, respectively.

For PEI conjugates (PEI-PEG/CSS-antigen or PEI-PEG/M27), PEI-PEG was dissolved in DMSO and added with 3-(2-Pyridyldithio)propionic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (SPDP, Sigma-Aldrich) to create thiol-reactive disulfide bond. After stirring for 3h, the mixture was reacted with CSS-antigen overnight, followed by dialysis-purification using Amicon ultra 10 kDa MW cutoff centrifugal filters. The resulting PEI conjugate was vigorously mixed with CpG (CpG 1826, Integrated DNA Technology) in PBS at varying PEI conjugate/CpG weight ratio of 0.5, 1, 2, or 3 to form respective NP Vacc by CpG nano-complexation.

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.
