Liberase enzyme

Manufactured by Merck Group

Liberase is an enzyme product manufactured by Merck Group. It is a blend of highly purified enzymes, including collagenase and neutral proteases, designed for efficient tissue dissociation. The core function of Liberase is to facilitate the isolation and release of cells from various tissue types.

Isolation and Purification of Drosophila Cells

After injection of oncogenic cells, the flies were incubated at 25 °C for 11 d to let the injected cells grow inside the fly body. While the first isolated cell suspension was kept on ice, the remaining tissues were further homogenized in the dissociation buffer with 0.5 mg/mL liberase enzyme (Sigma) at room temperature for 15 min. The dissociated tissues were repeatedly washed by PBS, and the remaining cells were harvested. All collected cells were stained with DAPI to discriminate dead cells and applied on a BD FACS Arria II cell sorter. The sorted GFP+DAPI cells (labeled as in vivo D11 OC) and GFP-DAPI cells (labeled as Host) were immediately dissolved in TRIzol (Invitrogen) for the subsequent total RNA isolation and RNAseq analysis. Embryos from at least 500 transgenic flies (Bloomington: BL1691) were collected, bleached (3 to 5 min to remove chorion membranes) and washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), then placed within a cell strainer (40 μm, Falcon) and homogenized within the PBS solution using the white end of the plunger (sometimes inside the protective cap) of an insulin injector. The embryonic cell suspension was then purified using Ficoll Paque Plus solution (GE Healthcare). After centrifugation at 400 g for 30 min, the alive cells located in the interphase were collected and resuspended in PBS.

Six to eight-week-old female hamsters were immunized with 106 total stationary-phase LmexCen−/− parasites by intradermal injection in the left ear in 10 μl PBS using a 29-gauge needle (BD Ultra-Fine). In addition, the age-matched control group of animals were infected with 106 total stationary-phase L. mexicana wild-type (LmexWT) promastigotes. Lesion size was monitored weekly by measuring the diameter of the ear lesion using a direct reading vernier calliper. Parasite burdens in the ear, draining lymph node (dLN), spleen, liver and bone marrow tissues were determined by limiting dilution assay27 (link). Ear tissues were treated with Liberase enzyme (Sigma-Aldrich) (0.15 mg/ml) in DMEM mediun at 37 °C. After 90 min of incubation tissues were grinded to make single cell suspensison using BD medimachine system. Cells were washed two times with M199 medium. Lymph nodes, spleen, liver and bone marrow were harvested and homogenized with a cell strainer in 2 ml of M199 medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin. To determine parasite burden cell suspension from each organs were serially diluted in 96 well tissue culture plates. After 12 days of incubation at 26 °C, plates were examined with a inverted microscope and parasite burden were calculated for each organ.

Leukocytes from the colon and SI were prepared as previously described (Liang et al., 2016 (link)). Briefly, colon and SI were removed, opened longitudinally, and gently washed with ice-cold PBS. Tissues were minced, enzymatically digested in complete RPMI 1640 medium (Thermo Fisher) with Liberase enzyme (10mg/ml; MilliporeSigma) in the presence of DNAse I (8 U/ml, SigmaAldrich), then incubated in C-tubes (Miltenyi) with gentle agitation for 30 minutes at 37°C. After sample homogenization using GentleMACS Dissociator (Miltenyi), cells went through two-step filtration with a 100 μm mesh followed by a 40 μm mesh. Red blood cells were lysed before analysis.

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.
