Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To assess phagocytic activity, the number of phagocytic cells and the mean fluorescence intensity (MIF) of pHrodo Green E. coli (Fisher Sci., Waltham, MA, USA) in phagocytic cells were determined. After 72 h of co-incubation with DCPD, OCP, and HAp, cells were incubated with 1 mg/mL pHrodo Green E. coli (Fisher Sci., Waltham, MA, USA) for 2 h after cell incubation in a CO2 incubator. To control for nonspecific staining, cells were preincubated with 10 μg/mL cytochalasin D (MerckMillipore, St. Louis, MO, USA). Measurements were performed using a BD Accuri C6 Cell Analyzer (BD/Fisher Sci., Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) [33 (link)].

To assay E. coli and S. aureus phagocytosis in adults, approximately eight to ten flies with an equal distribution of females and males per genotype were injected with ~0.2 μl of 1 mg/mL pHrodo green E. coli or pHrodo red S. aureus (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) using a FemtoJet microinjection system (Eppendorf). They were then incubated for 1 hr at room temperature. Fluorescently labeled particles were visualized through the cuticle using a florescence microscope (Nikon AZ100M, Nikon, Japan). We use Image J software to quantify the results. Relative fluorescence calculated as: [fluorescence]dorsal vein area/[fluorescence]adjacent area.
To assay phagocytosis of beads, flies were first injected with approximately 36.8 nl PBS or 1 μg/μl 5-HT dissolved in PBS using a Drummond Scientific Nanoject II. Flies were incubated at room temperature for 30 min and then injected with approximately 27 nl of 1.0 μm Red Fluorescent Carboxylate Modified FluoSpheres diluted 1: 2 (Invitrogen), incubated at room temperature for 10 min, injected with 36.8 nl 0.4% Trypan blue (Invitrogen), and then mounted and visualized as described above.

Mice received an injection of 100 µg pHrodo™ green-E. coli (Thermo Fisher Scientific) in the presence or absence of 10 µg/g BW L-polyphosphates. Small volumes of blood were sampled in EDTA-tubes from the retro-orbital sinus of anaesthetized mice at several time points. Mice were sacrificed after 4−24 h and peritoneal cells were collected as described above and processed on ice. Following flow cytometry surface marker staining, live cells were analyzed using a FACSCanto II (Becton Dickinson) as described above. To control for auto-fluorescence, additional mice were challenged with fixed E. coli without pHrodo™ conjugate and used to obtain fluorescence minus one (FMO) controls. To determine the amounts of total undigested pHrodo™ green-E. coli bioparticles, 200 µl of peritoneal lavage was centrifuged 5 min at 10,000 × g, the pellet was re-suspended and incubated for 10 min in 2 N H2SO4 and pHrodo™ green fluorescence was determined with a Fluoroskan Ascent FL (Thermo Fisher Scientific). For the in vitro phagocytosis assay, BMDM were challenged with 330 µg/ml pHrodo™ green-E. coli in the presence or absence of 50 µM S- or L-polyphosphates. The fluorescence signals were acquired with a Fluoroskan Ascent FL at 4 h after stimulation.

For assessment of phagocytosis, 1 × 105 cells were seeded in 12-well plates in standard medium. After >12 hours of settling, cells were incubated for 2 hours with pHRodo Green E. coli or pHRodo Red S. aureus BioParticles (Thermo Fisher Scientific) at a concentration of 1:20. Phagocytosis was performed in phenol-free RPMI 1640 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) supplemented with 10% FCS, 2% HEPES (AppliChem, Darmstadt, Germany), 1% L-glutamine (Invitrogen, Darmstadt, Germany) and 10 pg/mL murine M-CSF (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA). Subsequently, cells were washed extensively, and the amount of incorporated BioParticles was evaluated by flow cytometry.

Phagocytosis of fluorogenic Escherichia coli particles (pHrodo green E coli, Thermo Fisher Scientific) was analyzed using HEK293T ADAM10/17 -/-, PMA-induced THP-1, and U937 cells as well as primary macrophages (BMDMs) from mice. Cells were seeded in 96-well plates at a density of 8 × 10 4 cells per well 24 hours before phagocytosis measurements. After collection of the supernatants cells were washed two times with Live cell imaging solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific). E coli particles were added in a suspension of 1 μg/mL in Live cell imaging solution at a total of 50 μL/well. As a negative control, phagocytosis was inhibited with 10 µM of cytochalasin D (Life technologies), which was added 30 minutes prior to addition of pHrodo E coli bioparticles. Samples were incubated at 37°C for 120 minutes. Afterward, the suspension was carefully collected and cells were washed three times with MACS buffer (PBS pH 7.4, 0.5% (w/v) of BSA (Albumin Fraction V), 2 mM of EDTA). Cells were subsequently analyzed by either fluorescence-activated cell scanning (FACS) or fluorescence measurements with a microplate reader (Spark®, Tecan Group Ltd.). For Flow cytometric analysis of the phagocytosis assay, we used the FACSCanto (BD Biosciences). Data were analyzed with FACSDiva (BD Biosciences) and FLOWJO Software (Tree Star Inc).

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.
