Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The effect of mycolactone on thrombin generation was assessed by CAT according to a previously published method [61 (link)] using a Fluoroskan Ascent FL plate reader (Thermo Labsystem) in combination with Thrombinoscope software (Synapse BV). Thrombin generation was quantified in human pooled plasma containing various concentrations of mycolactone or 0.013% DMSO as a control. The reaction was initiated with 4pM tissue factor (Dade Innovin, Dade Behring), 4μM phospholipid vesicles (DOPS/DOPC/DOPE, 20:60:20) and 16.6mM CaCl2. Thrombin generation was monitored using 0.42mM of the fluorogenic substrate Z-GlyArg-AMC-HCl (Bachem).

About 0.25 nM FVIIa (NovoSeven; Novo Nordisk) was preincubated with 5 nM TF (Dade Innovin; Siemens) in HN-BSA buffer (20 mM Hepes, 140 mM NaCl, 5 mg/ml BSA, pH 7.4) supplemented with 3 mM CaCl2 for 15 min at 37 °C to allow the formation of the TF–FVIIa complex. After incubating the complex with 0 to 20 μM tick protein for another 15 min at 37 °C, the residual FVIIa activity was probed by adding 0.5 mM Spectrozyme FVIIa (ImmBioMed) and following the absorbance at 405 nm in a plate reader. 0.1 nM human FXa (Enzyme Research Laboratories) in HN-BSA buffer was incubated with 0 to 20 μM tick protein for 15 min at 37 °C. Residual FXa activity was probed by adding 120 μM Biophen CS-11 (65) (Aniara) and following the absorbance at 405 nm.

The aPTT (Dade Actin FSL; Siemens, Marburg, Germany), PT (Dade Innovin; Siemens), fibrinogen level (Clauss method, Dade Thrombin Reagent; Siemens), FVIII activity (Dade Actine FS and FVIII deficient plasma; Siemens), D-dimer (INNOVANCE D-dimer; Siemens), antithrombin (INNOVANCE; Siemens), and anti-Xa (Biophen Heparin LRT; Hyphen Biomed, Neuville-Sur-Oise, France) were measured on a Sysmex CS2100i (Sysmex Corporation, Kobe, Hyogo, Japan) hemostasis analyzer. Samples for the anti-Xa test were first diluted 2x with pooled reference plasma containing ∼100% ATIII and the anti-Xa activity was subsequently determined using specific calibration lines for UFH (aXa-UFH) (Biophen UFH Calibrator; Hyphen Biomed) or low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) (aXa-LMWH) (Biophen Heparine Calibrator; Hyphen Biomed). The aPTT (Cephascreen; Stago, Paris, France) was also performed on a STA-R Max2 analyzer (Stago). Thrombocyte count was determined using a Sysmex XN-9000 analyzer (Sysmex). C-reactive protein (CRP, third generation, Roche Diagnostics, Basel, Switzerland) and ferritin (Elecsys ferritin, Roche) were performed on the COBAS8000 by Roche Diagnostics.

A tissue factor-induced PE model was established as described previously [21 (link)]. Briefly, wild-type (n = 28), PlgT/T (n = 29), Pros1E/E (n = 10), and PlgT/T and Pros1E/E (PlgT/T/Pros1E/E, n = 10) mice were anesthetized with 2,2,2-tribromoethanol, and a recombinant human tissue factor reagent containing phospholipids and calcium (Dade Innovin; Siemens AG, Munich, Germany) was infused via the IVC (15 μL/g body weight). Survival time was recorded until 20 min after the infusion, while death was defined as respiratory arrest that persisted for at least 2 min. Two minutes after the respiratory arrest or at the completion of the 20-min observation period, mice were perfused with 0.5 mL of 1% Evans blue via the right ventricle. The lungs were excised and photographed, and the degree of vascular occlusion was evaluated independently by two individuals based on the Evans blue lung perfusion defect scores using a scale of 0 (complete perfusion) to 4 (no perfusion) [21 (link)].

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.
