The erythrocytes were isolated from human blood through centrifugation with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (pH 7.4) at 4 °C for 5 min by 450× g on centrifuge LABOFUGE 400R (Heraeus, Hanau, Germany) three times. Next, the residue of the erythrocytes was resuspended in an ice-cold phosphate saline buffer (pH 7.4) to a final optical density of 1.5 at 700 nm, and kept on ice. For the hemolytic assay, 180 µL of erythrocyte suspension was mixed with 20 µL of test compound solution (including chitonoidoside A used as positive control) in V-bottom 96 well plates. After 1 h of incubation at 37 °C, the plates were exposed to centrifugation for 10 min at 900× g on laboratory centrifuge LMC-3000 (Biosan, Riga, Latvia). Next, 100 µL of supernatant was carefully selected and transferred into new flat-plates, respectively. The lysis of the erythrocytes was determined by measuring of the concentration of hemoglobin in the supernatant with microplate photometer Multiskan FC (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), λ = 570 nm. The effective dose causing 50% hemolysis of erythrocytes (ED50) was calculated using the computer program SigmaPlot 10.0. All the experiments were performed in triplicate, p < 0.01.

For the hemolytic assay, 180 µL of erythrocyte suspension was mixed with 20 µL of test compound solution in V-bottom 96-well plates. After 1 h of incubation at 37 °C, plates were exposed to centrifugation 10 min at 900 g on a laboratory centrifuge LMC-3000 (Biosan, Riga, Latvia) [40 (link)]. Then, we carefully separated 100 µL of supernatant and transferred it onto new flat plates, respectively. The lysis of erythrocytes was determined by measuring of the concentration of hemoglobin in the supernatant with a microplate photometer Multiskan FC (Themo Scientific, USA), λ = 570 nm [41 ]. The effective dose causing 50% hemolysis of erythrocytes (ED50) was calculated using the computer program SigmaPlot 10.0. All the experiments were made in triplicate, p < 0.05.

The pulverized R. rosea L. (1.00 g) was placed in a beaker flask, 20 mL of the different NADESs was added, shaken vigorously manually for a few seconds to form a slurry, and then the flask was placed in a temperature-controlled ultrasonic cleaner (Sapphire UZV-4.0, Moscow, Russia), at a sonication power of 50 W, a frequency of 35 kHz, and extracted for 60 min at 36 °C [62 (link)]. Then, 40% (v/v) aqueous ethanol was also used for comparison. After extraction was completed, the solutions were collected and centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 15 min in a table centrifuge (BIOSAN LMC-3000, Riga, Latvia). A supernatant of 5 mL volume was carefully removed, and a dilution of 5× was made. Finally, the diluted solutions were filtered through a 0.45 µm filter and analyzed through HPLC. These experiments were repeated three times.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fecal samples were collected rectally from sheep naturally infected with Trichostrongylidae, during routine animal examination. Samples were transported to the laboratory in transport vials at the temperature of 4 ± 2 °C on the same day within 4–6 h for further examination. Parasite infection was confirmed by the modified McMaster method (eggs per gram of feces); 4 g of feces and 56 mL salt solution, and an egg suspension was prepared from the selected samples according to Coles et al. [19 (link)]. First, 20 g of feces was crushed in 200 mL of distilled water and was filtered through sieves (1000 µm, 100 µm, 50 µm, and 32 µm). The residue of the last sieve was collected with distilled water and was centrifuged (LMC-3000, Biosan, Latvia) for 10 min at 2000 rpm. The supernatant was discarded, and a salt solution (NaCl with a density of 1.018 g/mL) was added. The mixture was centrifuged for 15 min at 3000 rpm, and the supernatant was sifted through a 32 µm sieve. The eggs were collected from the sieve with distilled water.

All wells were infused with 2 μg/mL 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) in PBS [3 ]. After 15 min incubation, optical density (OD) of colored formazan was measured at OD570 using an automated microplate reader (Anthos Labtec Instruments, Wals, Austria). Percentage of cell viability was quantified by the following equation: % viable cells = (OD sample − OD blank) × 100 (OD control − OD blank)

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.
