Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mouse model of Vγ1D was implemented by intraperitoneal injection of 200 μg anti-Vγ1 Ab (clone 2.11; BioXcell, USA) 3 days before wound excision. Vγ4D was generated by anti-Vγ4 Ab (clone UC3-10A6; BioXcell, USA). Control mice were intraperitoneally administrated isotype control (armenian hamster IgG) (BioXcell, USA). Neutralization mouse models were conducted by injecting subcutaneously into wound margin 0, 1, and 2 days following excision with 20 μg/wound of anti-IGF-1 Ab (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), anti-IL-17A Ab (clone 17F3; BioXcell, USA), anti-IFN-γ Ab (clone XMG1.2; BioXcell, USA), anti-IL-1β Ab (clone B122; BioXcell, USA), anti-IL-23 Ab (clone BE0051; BioXcell, USA), anti-CCL20 Ab (clone 114906; R&D Systems, USA), respectively. IL-17A neutralization of low and high doses was performed by 2 and 200 μg/wound of anti-IL-17A Ab, respectively. Isotype control mice received equivalent doses of isotype Abs subcutaneously. Isotype control Abs of IGF-1, IL-17A, IL-1β, IL-23, CCL20 are poly goat IgG, mouse IgG1, armenian hamster IgG, rat IgG2, and rat IgG1 (BioXcell), respectively. Mouse models of recombinant cytokine addition were generated by subcutaneously injecting rIGF-1/rIL-17A/rIL-1β/rIL-23 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) with the doses of 2, 20, 200 ng/wound, respectively, in the wound margin. Control mice were administrated with sterile PBS.

To deplete NK cells, CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells, tumour-bearing mice were intraperitoneally injected with anti-NK1.1 (clone PK136, BioXCell), anti-CD4 (clone GK1.5, BioXCell), anti-CD8-α (clone 2.43, BioXCell) or isotype control (RatIgG1,BioXcell) antibodies at an initial dose of 400 mg 1 d before treatment, followed by 200 mg every 3 d. Depletion of CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells and NK cells was confirmed using flow cytometry analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

Modulating Cytokine Responses via Blocking Antibodies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Specific blocking antibodies to TNF-α and IL-6 were used to elucidate the functional importance of modulation of these cytokines in co-culture. Blocking antibodies against TNF-α (XT3.11), IL-6 (MP5-20 F3) and isotype (Rat IgG1) control (all from Bio X Cell, NH, USA) were reconstituted in 1X PBS to 1.0 mg/ml. The antibodies were then serially diluted in culture media to obtain working stock concentrations of 20.0, 2.0 and 0.2 μg/ml. Cells were plated either in 12-well plates (for Griess assays) or in 96-well plates (for proliferation assays) as described earlier. Cells were stimulated with 1 μg/ml LPS after overnight incubation. Equal volumes of diluted antibody were added to cultures to obtain a final concentration of 10.0, 1.0 and 0.1 μg/ml. Culture supernatants were collected at 24 and 48 hours and assayed for NO production using Griess assay. Proliferation was analysed at 48 hours by pulsing the cultures with 3H-TdR for the final 6 hours of incubation.

Concanavalin A and α-GalCer Induced Liver Injury

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tumor-free littermates or mice bearing subcutaneous tumors were challenged with 12.5 μg/g type IV Concanavalin A (Con A) (Sigma, USA) or 2 μg/mouse α-Galactosylceramide (α-GalCer, Funakoshi LTD, Japan). Alanine/aspartate aminotransferase (ALT/AST) levels were determined in mouse sera. In some experiments, mice were fed with a butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA, Sigma, USA)-containing diet for 3 days (7 mg/g bodyweight) to block ROS production [41 (link)],[45 (link)],[49 (link)]. IFN-γ serum levels after Con A injection were quantified by ELISA (eBioscience, USA). Endogenous IFN-γ was blocked by treating mice with 200 μg rat-anti mouse anti IFN-γ antibody (clone XMG1.2, BioXCell, USA). The same dose of rat IgG1 (BioXCell, USA) was used as a control. For visualization of ROS production, mice were injected with 5 μg luminescent probe L-012 (Wako, USA) which shows luminescence after chemical reaction with ROS and imaged with IVIS Spectrum (Xenogen, USA). Bioluminescence was calculated based on photon flux (photon counts/second) obtained 5 min after injection, divided by liver area using Living Image software (Perkin Elmer, USA). Mice were sacrificed at the indicated time points. All animal studies were approved by the National Cancer Institute Bethesda Animal Care and Use Committee.

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.
