Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CD8+ T lymphocytes were purified from splenocytes using a CD8+ isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec). Purified CD8+ T lymphocytes were cultured in the presence of plate-bound anti-CD3 (10 µg/ml) with or without recombinant murine VEGF-A (50 ng/ml; Miltenyi Biotec). After 48 h of culture, cells were harvested and analyzed by cytometry or used to extract mRNA. In some experiments, anti–VEGF-R1 (20 µg/ml; R&D Systems) or anti–VEGF-R2 (10 µg/ml; clone 91202; R&D Systems) antibodies or isotype control were added to the culture medium. In some experiments, 11R-VIVIT (Merck Millipore) was added 1 h at 5 µM before the addition of VEGF-A and during the stimulation with VEGF-A.

Paraffin-embedded sections were deparaffinized, permeabilized, and incubated with goat polyclonal anti-VEGFR-3 (1:100, R&D Systems) or anti VEGFR-2 (1:100, R&D Systems) followed by biotin-streptavidin-HRP amplification using the Vectastain-ABC kit (Vector Lab), and post-stained with eosin.
For whole-mount staining, tissues were fixed overnight in 4% PFA and blocked overnight in blocking buffer (PBS, 5% goat serum, 0.3% Triton X-100, and 0.2% BSA). Tissues were incubated overnight at 4°C with biotinylated anti–mouse LYVE-1 (1:100, R&D Systems) or PECAM-1 (1:100, BD Biosciences) in blocking buffer followed by biotin-streptavidin-HRP amplification using the Vectastain-ABC kit.

IL-11 Modulates Endothelial Tube Formation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine the role of IL-11 in endothelial tube formation, HUVEC capillary formation was examined in response to IL-11 (1, 10, 100ng/ml) or VEGF (+ control; 100ng/ml) for 18h. Endothelial tube formation was also examined in the presence of IL-11 (100ng/ml) or RA SF (10%) with or without IL-11Rα-Fc chimera (10μg/ml). To identify the proangiogenic factors released from IL-11 treated fibroblasts that are responsible for endothelial tube formation, HUVECs were pre-incubated with Abs against specific proangiogenic factor receptors, including anti-CXCR1 and anti-VEGFR2 (10μg/ml; R&D systems), alone or in combination, for 1h prior to addition of supernatants obtained from IL-11 stimulated RA fibroblasts. In the same experiment, the direct effect of IL-11 was neutralized by pre-incubation with IL-11Rα-Fc chimera (10μg/ml). The total number of tube branching points/4xfield was counted per well and the data represent average of 3 wells [29 (link)–31 (link)].

For immunofluorescence staining, wound tissues were fixed overnight in 4% paraformaldehyde, dehydrated in 20% sucrose solution overnight, and embedded in tissue-freezing medium (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany). Frozen blocks were cut into 20 μm thick sections.

After several washes, the sections were incubated with the following secondary antibodies: Alexa Fluor 488- or Alexa Fluor 596-conjugated anti-hamster IgG, Alexa Fluor 488- or Alexa Fluor 596-conjugated anti-rat IgG, or Alexa Fluor 488- or Alexa Fluor 596-conjugated anti–goat IgG (Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA) antibodies. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). The samples were mounted with fluorescent mounting medium (DAKO, Glostrup, Denmark), and immunofluorescence images were obtained using a confocal microscope (LSM800; Zeiss, Jena, Germany).

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.
