Histopaque 1077 1119 gradient

Manufactured by Merck Group

Histopaque 1077/1119 gradient is a density gradient medium used for the isolation of mononuclear cells from whole blood. It is a sterile, endotoxin-tested solution composed of polysucrose and sodium diatrizoate adjusted to a density of 1.077 g/mL and 1.119 g/mL, respectively.

5 protocols using histopaque 1077 1119 gradient

1

Isolation of Human Neutrophils

Human neutrophils were isolated as previously described (58 (link)). Briefly, peripheral blood was collected from healthy, nonpregnant women and used immediately. Neutrophils were isolated by density centrifugation over a Histopaque 1077/1119 gradient (Sigma-Aldrich). Neutrophils were washed with Hank balanced salt solution without calcium or magnesium (Life Technologies), and hypotonic red blood cell (RBC) lysis was performed. The isolated neutrophil fraction was >95% pure, as determined by CD16b staining (1:100 dilution, no. 302005; BioLegend, San Diego, CA) by flow cytometric analysis (FACS Calibur; BD Biosciences). Human tissue collection was approved by the Yale University’s Human Research Protection Program (no. 0607001625).

Isolation of Peripheral Neutrophils

Neutrophils were isolated from the peripheral blood of healthy, non-pregnant women and used immediately. Briefly, blood was collected by venepuncture into heparin-coated vacutainers (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) and red blood cells were sedimented using dextran (Sigma-Aldrich). Neutrophils were isolated by density centrifugation over a Histopaque 1077/1119 gradient (Sigma-Aldrich). Neutrophils were washed with Hank’s balanced salt solution without calcium or magnesium (Life Technologies) and hypotonic red blood cell lysis was performed. The isolated neutrophil fraction was >95% pure as determined by CD16b staining (#302005, Biolegend, San Diego, CA, 1:100 dilution) by flow cytometric analysis (FACs Calibur, BD Biosciences).

Isolation of Monocytes and Neutrophils from Bone Marrow

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All bone marrow cells were obtained, and the suspensions were filtered through 70 μm nylon mesh. The cells were carefully layered onto Histopaque-1077/1119 gradient solutions (Sigma) and were centrifuged at 700 ×g for 30 min. After centrifugation, the monocytes were aspirated from the “mononuclear” layer, and neutrophils were found in the “granulocyte” layer. Cells were collected and washed twice with sterile PBS. The cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS, penicillin, streptomycin, HEPES and glutamine.

Isolation of Neutrophils from Healthy Women

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Neutrophils were isolated from the peripheral blood of healthy non-pregnant women and used immediately as previously described (Tong et al. 2019 ). Briefly, blood was collected into heparin-coated vacutainers (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) and neutrophils were isolated by density centrifugation on a Histopaque 1077/1119 gradient (Sigma-Aldrich). Hypotonic red blood cell lysis was performed and the isolated neutrophil fraction was >95% pure as determined by CD16b staining (#302005, Biolegend, San Diego, CA, 1:100 dilution).

Isolation and Characterization of Neutrophils

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Isolation of neutrophils was performed as described by Siemsen et al. (2007) (link). In short, plasma was removed after centrifugation and red blood cells were lysed by adding 50 mL of endotoxin-free purified water. Five milliliters of NaCl (10%; Sigma-Aldrich, Bornem, Belgium) was added and samples were centrifuged at 740 × g for 10 min at room temperature with low braking speed. The resulting leukocyte suspension was layered carefully on top of a Histopaque 1077/1119 gradient (Sigma-Aldrich). The final pellet was resuspended in 1 mL of PBS (Sigma-Aldrich). Cell viability was determined in triplicate (3 × 100 cells were counted) by the Trypan blue (Invitrogen, Merelbeke, Belgium) exclusion test using a Bürker chamber. Neutrophil purity was analyzed by bright-field microscopy with a 100× objective and immersion oil (Axioskop 2 MOT, Carl Zeiss N.V., Oberkochen, Germany) by staining cells with Sangodiff G (Sigma-Aldrich). Purity was also determined in triplicate (3 × 100 cells were counted).

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.
