Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Interferon (IFN)-γ, interleukin (IL)-13, IL-5, IL-6, keratinocyte-derived chemokine (KC/CXCL1), and macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-2 (KC/CXCL1 and MIP-2/CXCL2 are murine homologues of human IL-8) levels in BALF were measured using enzyme immunoassay (EIA) kits (R&D Systems Europe, Abingdon, UK). Granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) levels in serum and BALF were measured using EIA kits (R&D Systems Europe), as were CysLTs and LTB4 levels (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, USA). BALF dilutions were 1:5 for IL-13, IL-5, IL-6, KC/CXCL1, and MIP-2/CXCL2. BALF dilutions were 1:2 for CysLTs and LTB4. BALF was undiluted for IFN-γ. Serum was undiluted for GM-CSF. All EIA assays were performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

NO levels in the culture media were determined using the Greiss reaction assay as described previously [34 (link)]. Briefly, RAW 264.7 cells (1 × 104 cells/well) were seeded in a 96-well culture plate. Cells were treated with LPS in the presence or absence of various doses of GTEO (25–100 μg/mL) for 24 h. After treatment, an equal volume of culture supernatants was mixed with Griess reagent and incubated at room temperature for 30 min. The intercellular level of nitrate, a major stable product of NO, was measured with an ELISA microplate reader at 540 nm (µQuant, Bio-Tek Instruments, Winooski, VA, USA). On the other hand, intercellular PGE2 levels were determined using an EIA kit (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) according to the manufacturer’s protocols.

Platelets Thromboxane B2 and cAMP Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Platelet suspensions (1 × 108 platelets/ml) were pre-incubated with lunathrombase (0.2 µM) for 5 min and thereafter 2 mM EDTA and 50 µl indomethacin (1 mM) were added to the suspensions. The thromboxane B2 level (TxB2) and cAMP levels of the supernatants were measured by an enzyme immuno assay (EIA) kit (R&D systems, USA) following the instructions of the manufacturer. The cAMP level in the platelet suspensions incubated with 0.2 µM PGE1 (positive control) was also measured under identical conditions. The cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) inhibitory effect of lunathrombase/ibuprofen/aspirin (0.2 µM) was determined using the commercial kit (R&D systems, USA) following the instructions of the manufacturer.

The RIF collections were immediately stored at −80°C until assayed. RIF TNF-α and IL-6 were measured using an EIA kit (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA). RIF NO recovery levels were measured using a nitrate/nitrite fluorometric assay kit (Cayman) and presented as µmol/min. RIF cGMP recovery levels were measured using a cyclic GMP EIA kit (Cayman). RIF 8-isoprostane recovery levels were measured using a 8-isoprostane EIA kit (Cayman). Both RIF cGMP and RIF 8-isoprostane are presented as fmol/min.

Lupane modulates cytokine production in PBMCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PBMCs (2 × 105/well) in an RPMI assay medium {RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 100 μg/mL of gentamicin, 2 mM of L-glutamine and 10 % FBS) were incubated with lupane (0.3, 0.7 and 1.5 μg/mL) or without for 15 h at 37 °C, 5 % CO2. PBMCs were incubated with RPMI for the negative control, and with LPS (1 μg/mL) for the positive control. After incubation, plates were centrifuged at 405 xg for 5 min and the supernatants were collected for cytokine detection. The cytokines TNF-α and IL-10 were quantified using an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) kit (R&D Systems) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

IFNL3 and IFNL4 Genotyping and Protein Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genotyping of IFNL3 single-nucleotide polymorphism rs12979860 and the IFNL4G SNP, rs368234815, were conducted using custom TaqMan® SNP Genotyping Assays from Applied Biosystems (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) performed according to manufacturer’s instructions. The Roche LightCycler 480 Real-Time System (Roche Applied Science, Indianapolis, IN, USA) was used to amplify the DNA and measure the fluorescence from each reaction to determine each genotype as calculated by Endpoint Genotyping Software (Roche, Nutley, NJ, USA).
Human IFNL protein levels have been challenging to measure and discriminate between the different subtypes: human IFNL1/IFNL3 levels were measured using a commercially available EIA kit (R&D Systems Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA; Cat. number DY1598B).

Quantification of Neurochemicals in Rat Spinal Cord

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rat spinal cord (L4, 5 lumbar enlargement) was collected after behavioral testing and frozen immediately on dry ice. The spinal cord tissue was cut into fine pieces in ice-cold PBS, pH 7.4, containing a cocktail of protease inhibitors (Roche Applied Science) followed by homogenization using a Dounce tissue grinder. Homogenates were centrifuged for 15 min at 12,000 g, 4℃. The supernatants were aliquoted and stored at −80℃ until required for enzyme immunoassay (EIA) performance. Total protein contents in all tissue extracts were measured using the DC protein assay kit (Bio-Rad). Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), prodynorphin (PDYN), and CXCL1 levels were determined in duplicate using respective EIA kits, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. BDNF EIA kit was from LifeSpan BioSciences. PDYN concentration was measured using the PDYN EIA kit (antibodies-online). CXCL1 level was determined with an EIA kit from R&D Systems. These assay systems detect rat BDNF, PDYN, and CXCL1 with sensitivity of 12.29 pg/ml, 3.9 pg/ml, and 1.3 pg/ml, respectively. The concentrations of BNDF, PDYN, and CXCL1 proteins were calculated from the standard curve at each assay. Each protein concentration was expressed as pg/mg total protein.

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.
