Mouse neutrophils were isolated from the peritoneal cavities of LPS-induced endotoxin shock or CLP mice using the Histopaque-1077 solution (Sigma). Cell counts were carried out using Trypan Blue (Sigma). Human neutrophils were isolated from the peripheral blood of a healthy human donor using the Histopaque-1077 solution (Sigma) through a density gradient. The peripheral bloods were collected with written informed consent, which was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at Ajou University College of Medicine (Suwon, Korea). Mouse splenocytes were isolated from the spleen after CLP. Isolated spleens were ground using the Tissue Sieve System (Bellco Glass). Ground cells were filtrated by a 70-um Cell Strainer (BD Falcon), and blood cells were lysed by RBC lysis buffer. Splenocytes were gained through washing with PBS three times.

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were obtained through density gradient centrifugation (Histopaque®-1077 solution, Sigma-Aldrich, Germany). Dog peripheral blood was resuspended in PBS (1:1 v/v), overlaid on half of that total volume in Histopaque®-1077 solution and centrifuged 400 × g for 30 min at 18°C. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were then harvested at the interface of PBS and Histopaque® and washed twice in cold PBS (300 × g, 10 min, 4°C). Whenever red blood cells were still visible in the pellet, a step of lysis was done by adding 5 ml of RBC Lysis Buffer (eBioscience, USA) for 5 min and stopping the reaction with 10 ml of PBS, followed by a centrifugation at 300 × g (4°C) for 10 min. The pellet was then resuspended in Flow Cytometry Staining Buffer (FCSB) (eBioscience), and the total volume was adjusted for 2 × 107 cells ml−1. Lymph node and bone marrow aspirates were centrifuged at 400 × g (4°C) for 5 and 15 min, respectively, and resuspended in FCSB with the total volume also adjusted for 2 × 107 cells ml−1. These samples were then kept on ice until antibody labeling.

Whole human blood was collected from healthy volunteers in 60 mL syringes containing heparin as the anticoagulant and gently mixed. Samples were immediately diluted with 15 mL PBS. Leukocytes were isolated by density gradient centrifugation (400 × g for 30 min) over Histopaque® 1077 solution (Sigma-Aldrich). PBMCs harvested from the interface were washed with PBS and resuspended in RPMI-1640 medium with 10% FBS. Cell count and viability was determined using Vi-Cell cell counter (XR 2.03, Beckman Coulter). Cells were either prepared for stimulation assays or cryopreserved in complete medium with 10% DMSO.

Sprague-Dawley rats (male, 8 to 10 week of age; Samtako Bio Korea, Osan-si, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea) were used as pancreatic islet donors. Briefly, rats were euthanized by cervical dislocation, pancreases were exposed, and 0.08% collagenase type P solution (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA) was injected via the hepatic bile duct. Pancreases were then incubated for 18 min at 37°C. Pancreatic islets were isolated from exocrine cells by using a Histopaque-1077 solution (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA) and cultured in RPMI 1640 growth medium (Mediatech, Manassas, VA, USA) containing 10% FBS and 1% penicillin-streptomycin antibiotics 100× (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) for 3 days to recover functionality before transplantation (74 ).

Isolation and Storage of PBMC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood samples were drawn from the vein of the antecubital region following a 12-h fasting, and participants were asked to avoid intense physical exercise 72 h before sampling. All blood samples were drawn into 4-mL EDTA anticoagulant or serum separator tubes. Serum and plasma were routinely centrifuged at 1,500×g for 15 min. Plasma and serum were stored at −80°C for subsequent analysis. PBMC were immediately separated from anticoagulated peripheral blood by density gradient centrifugation with Histopaque®-1077 solution (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA), as previously described [16 (link)],and with short modifications. For each sample, four 15-mL centrifuge tubes were used to layer 7 mL of blood and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (136 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 7.8 mM Na2HPO4, 1.7 mM KH2PO4) onto 3 mL of Histopaque®-1077. The suspension was centrifuged for 40 min at 275×g at room temperature. After, the mononuclear cell layer was removed with manual pipetting and washed in PBS. Then, cell supernatants were discarded, and the PBMC pellets were dried out with lysing solution (150 mM NH4Cl, 10 mM NaHCO3, 1 mM EDTA) and centrifuged for 3 min at 300×g. Finally, samples were stored with RNAlater® (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA) and frozen at −80°C for further analysis.

Heparinized blood (15–30 unit/ml) 5 ml was carefully layered over 5 ml Histopaque-1077 solution (sigma) and centrifuged at 400 g for 20 min. The mononuclear fraction (a white layer at the interface) was aspirated, resuspended in 2 ml of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and centrifuged at 800 g for 20 min. The resulting pellet was resuspended in 0.5 ml PBS and used for subsequent experiments. Unloaded cell shortening was quantified using a video sarcomere detector (Ionoptix, Milton, MA, USA). After recording the baseline contractility of cardiomyocytes, 30 μl of monocyte suspension was directly applied to the recording chamber which contained 300 μl Tyrode solution and cardiomyocytes. Ten minutes after incubation, the contractility was recorded in the same cell.

Isolation and Enumeration of PBMCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood samples were collected in sodium heparin tubes (BD Biosciences) from volunteers with prior consent to an IRB approved protocol. About 20 ml of fresh blood were layered on top of 20 ml Histopaque-1077 solution (Sigma-Aldrich). Samples were carefully transferred to a centrifuge (Legend XT, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and centrifuged for 20 minutes at room temperature without brake at 2200 rpm. Buffy coats containing peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) at the interface were carefully collected to 50 ml RPMI medium with 10% BSA. Samples were centrifuged to pellet cells and the supernatant were discarded. Lymphocyte pellets were re-suspended in 50 ml RPMI containing 10% FBS. A 20-microliter volume of suspended PMBC was mixed with equal volume Trypan Blue solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and incubated at room temperature for about 2 minutes. A 20-microliter cell suspension was immediately counted using Haemocytometer under light microscope. Percent viability was determined by the formula (Number of total cells counted – Number of Blue cells counted) x 100. Samples with 95% or more viability were selected for all experiments including RNA extraction.

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.
