Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For this study, the New York City Board of Health (NYCBOH) strain of VACV was used to immunize mice and the Western Reserve (WR) strain of VACV was used for viral challenge. Both virus strains were grown in Hela S3 cells (#CCL-2.2, ATCC). Virus titer was quantified in Vero cells (#CCL-81, ATCC) and stored − 80 °C for future use. For some experiments, viruses were ultraviolet-inactivated, following a protocol published previously25 (link).

Poliovirus Infection and Replication Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All experiments were conducted in HeLa S3 cells (ATCC, CCL-2.2) cultured in DMEM/F12 (Invitrogen) containing 10% FCS, penicillin and streptomycin and at 37 °C. The Mahoney type 1 (WT) and Sabin type 1 strains of poliovirus were generated by electroporation of in vitro transcribed RNA into HeLa S3 cells18 (link). For viral infections, cells were incubated with the virus for 30 min at 37 °C, after which media was added and infection allowed to continue until all cells were dead. Subsequently, two freeze-thaw cycles were performed to release intracellular viruses, cellular debris were removed by low speed centrifugation, and virus production was assessed by plaque assay. Geldanamycin (GA; LC labs) was diluted in DMSO and used at the indicated concentration. Monoclonal poliovirus antibodies were generously provided by Dr. Morag Ferguson at NIBSC, Blanche Lane, South Mimms, Potters Bar, Hertfordshire.

Cell-Free Protein Expression Using HeLa Lysate

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HeLa-based CFE system includes HeLa lysate, truncated GADD34, T7 RNA polymerase, mix 1 and mix 2 solutions. The HeLa lysate was prepared from spinner-cultured HeLa S3 cells (ATCC Inc.). The detailed preparation steps can be found in a previously published work (19 ). Briefly, HeLa S3 cells were cultured in suspension using minimal essential medium eagle medium (SMEM) with Joklik modification without calcium, at an initial concentration of 1–2 × 105 cells/ml. Cells were harvested and lysed when the concentration reached 7–8 × 105 cells/ml after 4-5 days of culture. The harvested HeLa lysate was aliquoted and stored at −80°C. GADD34 and T7 RNA polymerase were prepared with the stock concentration of 2.3 and 5 mM, respectively. Mix 1 is a buffer prepared with 27.6 mM Mg(OAc)2, 168 mM 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (K-HEPES pH 7.5). Mix 2 is a solution which was prepared with the following reagents: 12.5 mM ATP, 8.36 mM GTP, 8.36 mM CTP, 8.36 mM UTP, 200 mM creatine phosphate, 7.8 mM K-HEPES (pH 7.5) and 0.6 mg/ml creatine kinase. The pT7-CFE-GFP plasmid was prepared by cloning GFP protein into pT7-CFE-CHis vector (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The inserted GFP sequence can be found in Supplementary Table S2.

E. coli DH5α strain was used for cloning, E. coli BL21(DE3) or NiCo21(DE3) were used for protein expression (New England Biolabs). Bacteria were grown in LB-Miller medium, supplemented with antibiotic (ampicillin 100 μg/mL or kanamycin 30 μg/mL) when necessary. HeLa cells (HeLa-S3 cells, ATCC) were cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM, Life Technologies), supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS, Gibco) and 1% antibiotics (penicillin/streptomycin), at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2, and subcultured approximately every 2–3 days. All chemicals and reagents were purchased from Sigma.

Plating HeLa S3 Cells for Live Imaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HeLa S3 cells were purchased from ATCC and cultured in DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum in a humidified 5% CO2. Passage of HeLa S3 cells was performed every 3 or 4 days and plated HeLa S3 cells at the 1 to 10 ratio. To plate cells onto a coverglass Lab-Tek 8 well chamber, 50 μl of HeLa S3 suspension containing 3500 cells were placed at the center of each well and left until cells attached to the coverglass surface. Then, 0.75 ml of culture medium was added to each well. If a 0.75 ml cell suspension, instead of 50 μl, was added to the well, cells tended to be concentrated at the wall. Thus, our method gave a better result to evenly spread cells in a given area, although some local variation of cell concentration was still observed. Cells were used for live cell imaging 12 hrs after the plating.

HEK293T cells (ATCC) originating from a human fetal kidney and HeLa S3 cells (ATCC) originating from the female cervix were cultured in DMEM (Corning) supplemented with 10% FBS (Merck) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Corning).
To isolate primary OCP cells, bone marrow cells were collected from femurs and tibias of 6–8-week-old C57BL/6 mice and cultured in α-minimum essential medium supplemented with 10% FBS and M-CSF (5 ng·mL−1) for 16 h. Nonadherent cells were harvested and further cultured with M-CSF (30 ng·mL−1) for 3 days. After removal of floating cells, adherent cells were used as BMM cells.

In-StageTip Proteome Sample Preparation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The complex proteome mixture used in our experiments was composed of HeLa S3 cells (ATCC). Cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (Life Technologies Ltd) supplemented with 20 mM glutamine, 10% fetal bovine serum, and 1% penicillin-streptomycin. The sample preparation was performed following the in-StageTip protocol (20 (link)). After washing the cells in PBS and cell lysis, the proteins were reduced, alkylated, and digested by trypsin (Sigma-Aldrich) and LysC (WAKO) (1:100, enzyme/protein, w/w) in one step. The peptides were dried, resuspended in 0.1% TFA/2% acetonitrile (ACN), and 200 ng digest was loaded onto Evotips (Evosep). The Evotips were prepared by activation with 1-propanol, washed with 0.1% formic acid (FA)/99.9% ACN, and equilibrated with 0.1% FA. After loading the samples, tips were washed once with 0.1% FA.
The simple proteome mixture was composed in equal amounts of the purified and predigested tryptic standard proteins enolase, phosphorylase b, ADH, and BSA. The peptides were reconstituted in 0.1% FA, and either 200 or 400 fmol (see above) were loaded onto Evotips.

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.
