Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Myc-SYK construct was generated as previously described [28 (link)]. Myc-SYK and Myc-epitope tag cDNAs were subcloned into the pLL-1 vector (Active Motif, Carlsbad, CA, USA) to generate Myc-SYK-eDHFR and Myc-eDHFR constructs. These were then further subcloned into the pCDH-CMV-MCS-EF1-Puro lentiviral vector (System Biosciences, Palo Alto, CA, USA). NLyn-SYK-eDHFR was generated by cloning SYK with a forward primer coding for the first five N-terminal residues of LYN and inserting the construct into the pLL-1 vector.
The following antibodies were used for Western blotting and/or immunofluorescence: SYK (D3Z1E XP, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), Myc (9B11, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), G3BP (611126, BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) and GAPDH (AM4300, Ambion, Austin, TX, USA). HRP-coupled secondary antibodies were purchased from Pierce and AlexaFluor 405- and 594-coupled secondary antibodies from Invitrogen (Carlsbad, CA, USA).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Complementary DNAs comprising the coding sequences of human M1 and M87 spastin (GenBank NM_014946, including the exon 4 splice cassette) were cloned into the mammalian expression vector pGW1-Myc, which contains an N-terminal Myc-epitope tag [11] (link), [28] (link). Human full-length NA14 (GenBank NP_003722.1) and a Δ1–32 amino acid deletion form were cloned into the EcoRI site of pGW1-HA, which harbors an N-terminal hemagglutinin (HA)-epitope tag. For producing lentivirus, wild-type NA14 cDNA was cloned into the pCDH-CMV-MCS-EF1-Puro lentiviral vector (Systems Biosciences, Mountain View, CA, USA); sequences encoding HA and EGFP epitopes were cloned into XbaI and EcoRI sites. To establish NA14-depleted cell lines, shRNA sequences specific for NA14 or else a control sequence (CTL) were cloned into the pLKO.1 Puro vector (Addgene, Cambridge, MA, USA): shCTL, 5′-GCAATCGAAGCTCGGCTAC-3′; shNA14-1, 5′-ACAACAACGAGCTGGTCAA-3′; shNA14-2, 5′-AGGAGGAGGAGGACGAGAA-3′; and shNA14-3, 5′-AGGAGGAGGACGAGAAGCA-3′. All constructs were confirmed by DNA sequencing.

Generation of Insulin Receptor Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human wild type and S323L low-ligand binding mutant insulin receptor (IR) expression vectors were kindly provided by Jonathan Whittaker PhD (Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH). Wild type and S323L IR open reading frames were cloned into pCDH-CMV-MCS-EF1-Puro lentiviral vector (System Biosciences). Lentivirus particles were generated by following the manufacturer’s recommendation (Open Biosystems). Lentiviral particles for murine CENP-A short hairpin RNA (shRNA) (sc-37556-v), murine PLK1 shRNA (sc-36278-v), and control scramble shRNA (sc-108080) were purchased from Santa Cruz. Cells were infected by adding the lentiviral particles to the culture with polybrene (sc-134220). For generating stable cell lines, cells were treated with 4 mg/mL of puromycin 48 hours after the transduction and were maintained in selection media for more than 14 days. We generated two separate stable cell lines in each group.

Lentiviral Expression of LANA Mutants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The pCDHCMV-MCS-EF1-puro lentiviral vector (System Biosciences) was used to express WT and mutant forms of LANA. The LANA mutants were based on studies of Dr. Kenneth Kaye at the Harvard Medical School [28 (link)]. Virus-containing supernatants from 293T cells transfected by the lentiviral vector and packaging vectors were collected 60 hours post-transfection, concentrated by centrifugation (24000 rpm, 1.5 hr, 4°C) and used for infection of cells in the presence of 8 μg/ml polybrene. The next day the infected cells were split, and then infected with KSHV the following day.

The coding sequence of rat SLC1A3 (GenBank accession number NM_019225.2) was cloned into the XbaI/EcoRI sites of pCDHCMV-MCS-EF1-puro lentiviral vector (System Biosciences, Palo Alto, CA) by PCR amplification to generate expression vectors named pCDH-puro-SLC1A3. The primer sequences used for cloning are listed in Table 1. The construct was confirmed by direct DNA sequencing. Lentivirus-containing supernatants were collected and used for transduction as previously described (24 (link)). MM-vector, KMM-vector, MM-SLC1A3, and KMM-SLC1A3 cells were selected with 2 μg/ml puromycin after transduction.

Lentiviral Overexpression of dCK in Pancreatic Cancer Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To overexpress dCK in PANC‐1 and MIA PaCa‐2 cells, a lentivirus‐mediated transfection method was used. The dCK coding sequence was constructed into the pCDH‐CMV‐MCS‐EF1‐Puro lentiviral vector (System Biosciences, Palo Alto, CA, USA). Lentivirus was produced by co‐transfecting dCK‐overexpressing constructs with psPAX2 and pMD2.G vectors at a ratio of 4:3:1 into HEK293T cells. Stable dCK‐overexpressing cell lines were obtained by infecting PANC‐1 and MIA PaCa‐2 cells and subsequent puromycin selection.

Constructing pGFAP-CreERT2 Lentiviral Vector

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To construct pCDH-pGFAP-MCS-EF1-puro, the CMV promoter sequence of the pCDH-CMV-MCS-EF1-puro lentiviral vector (System Biosciences, USA) was removed by using two restriction enzymes, SnaBI and NheI. The pGFAP promoter sequence (−1,817 to −17 upstream from the pGFAP transcription start site +1) in the pGL3-basic-pGFAP promoter plasmid [8 (link)] was digested with EcoRI (blunted by the Klenow fragment) and NheI. Subsequently, the pGFAP promoter sequence was ligated into the aforementioned CMV promoter-deleted lentiviral vector. Finally, to construct a lentiviral vector containing the pGFAP-CreERT2 gene construct, the CreERT2 gene digested by EcoRI from the pCre-ERT2 plasmid [19 (link)] was inserted into the identical restriction enzyme sites of pCDH-pGFAP-MCS-EF1-puro.
To generate the CMV-LoxP-EGFP-pA-LoxP construct, LCMV:EGFP(LoxP)MCS (No. 31377; Addgene, USA) was modified by removing the EGFP sequence by using NcoI and BsrGI. Then, the EGFP sequence from EGFP-C2 (No. 6083-1; Clontech Laboratories, USA) that had been digested with the same restriction enzymes was inserted into the aforementioned EGFP-deleted vector.

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.
