Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The invasive activity of PANC-1 cells was determined with xCELLigence® technology (ACEA Biosciences, San Diego, supplied by OLS, Bremen, Germany) as outlined in detail in previous publications [39 (link),40 (link)]. The lower side of the CIM plate-16 porous membrane was coated with a 1:1 mixture (v/v) of collagen I and collagen IV (30 μL) to facilitate adherence of the cells and thus enhance the duration of signal recording. Prior to cell seeding, the surface of the upper chamber was covered with a thin monolayer of 5% (v/v) growth factor-reduced Matrigel (BD Biosciences, Heidelberg, Germany) diluted 1:20 with basal medium, as detailed elsewhere [72 (link)]. After the Matrigel solification, each well was loaded with 60,000 or 80,000 cells in standard growth medium (see above). Cells were allowed to settle in the laminar flow hood for 30 min at RT, after which the assay was started and run for 24–48 h. Data acquisition (with signal recording every 15 min) and analysis was performed with the RTCA software (version 1.2, ACEA).

Real-time Cell Migration and Invasion Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Migration and invasion assays were performed in 16-well CIM plates in an xCELLigence RTCA DP system (ACEA Biosciences) using matrigel basement membrane matrix (BD) for real-time cell migration analysis as described previously.22 (link) In brief, 30,000 cells per well were seeded as 5 duplicates in serum-free medium at the upper compartment of the CIM plates coated with or without matrigel. Serum-complemented medium was added to the lower compartment of the chamber, and then we started measurement in xCELLigence RTCA DP system and analyzed the CI (cell index) curves to determine cell invasion activity. For negative controls, we added serum-free medium at both upper and bottom chambers. The cell index representing the amount of migrated cells was calculated with the RTCA Software from ACEA Biosciences. At least three independent experiments were carried out; for each independent experiment, five duplicates were performed for each group.

Mouse NK cells were isolated from fresh BALB/c or C57BL/6 spleens 18 h after poly I:C injection (100 μg intraperitoneally). After red cell lysis, NK cells were purified with MagniSort Mouse NK cell Enrichment Kit (Invitrogen), followed by CD49b MACS-sorting (Miltenyi). This cell population was highly selected for NK cells with a purity of >9%. Human NK cells from PBMCs were purchased from StemCell Technologies containing >99% NK cells.
NK cell killing assays were performed on the XCelligence SP platform (ACEA BioSciences). 96-well E-plates (ACEA BioSciences) were coated with collagen (Sigma-Aldrich) and 4 × 105 WT, B2m−/−Ciita−/−, or B2m−/−Ciita−/− Cd47 tg miECs or WT, B2M−/−CIITA−/− or B2M−/−CIITA−/− CD47 tg hiECs were plated in 100 μl cell-specific media containing 1 ng ml−1 mouse or human IL-2 (Peprotech). After the Cell Index value reached 0.7, NK cells were added with an effector cell / target cell (E/T) ratio of 0.5/1, 0.8/1 or 1/1. As a negative control, cell treated with 2% Triton X100 was used. Some wells were pretreated with mouse Cd47 or human CD47-blocking antibody (BioXCell) with 10 μg ml−1 media for 2 h. Data were standardized and analyzed with the RTCA software (ACEA).

NK cell killing assays and macrophage killing assays were performed on the XCelligence SP platform and MP platform (ACEA Biosciences). Special 96-well E-plates (ACEA Biosciences) were coated with collagen (Sigma-Aldrich), and 4 × 105 WT, B2M/CIITA/, B2M/CIITA/ CD47 tg, and B2M/CIITA/ rhCD47 tg hiECs were plated in 100 µl cell-specific medium. After the cell index value reached 0.7, rhesus NK cells or rhesus macrophages were added with an E:T ratio of 0.5:1, 0.8:1, or 1:1 with or without 1 ng/ml rhesus IL-2 (MyBioSource). As a negative control, cells were treated with 2% Triton X-100 in cell-specific media (data not shown). Data were standardized and analyzed with the RTCA software (ACEA Biosciences).

xCELLigence RTCA SP Station and Analyzer (ACEA Biosciences, San Diego, CA, USA) was used for real-time cell growth analysis. The 1000–5000 U87MG cells per well were seeded, and impedance of the wells were measured with 20 min intervals for 24 or 202 h. The amount of cell growth was analyzed and plotted using the RTCA Software (ACEA Biosciences).

We seeded 5 × 104/mL cells in E-plate for proliferation analysis and CIM plate for migration analysis, respectively. The CIM plate contains the upper chamber and the lower chamber. We added 30 μL serum-free medium into the upper chamber. We added 165 μL serum medium into the lower chamber. The parameters of RTCA DPlus instrument were set (ACEA Biosciences, Hangzhou, China). Then, cell samples were put in the instrument, which can automatically record a real-time cellular proliferation or migration curves.

An xCELLigence Real‐Time Cell Analysis System (RTCA; ACEA Biosciences, CA, USA) in a humidified 37°C 5% CO2 incubator was used to monitor HCC cell migration. Briefly, the cells (5 × 104/well) were added to the instrument chamber (E‐plate16, ACEA Biosciences), with appropriate treatments being applied. Cells were then monitored over a 20 h period, with electrical impedance being measured with gold microelectrodes to detect proliferation. This impedance was used to calculate the cell index value corresponding to cell proliferation, with this value being calculated every 10 min for the 20 h period with the RTCA software (ACEA Biosciences).

The underside of the upper chambers of the CIM plate-16 was coated with 30 μL of collagen I (400 μg/mL). In all assays, RPMI with 1% fetal bovine serum was present in both the upper and lower chambers of each well of a CIM plate-16. The upper chamber of each well was loaded with 50,000–60,000 cells immediately after the addition of 5 ng/mL TGF-β1 to the cell suspensions. Data acquisition was done at intervals of 15, 30, or 60 min and analyzed with RTCA software (ACEA).

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.
