Example 1

DR5 cell surface expression was quantitated by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis. Briefly, FACS stain buffer (BD Pharmigen Catalog #554656) was used for staining and wash steps. Tumor cells (1×105-5×105) were stained with 0.25 μg of anti-human DR5-PE (eBioscience Catalog #12-9908-42) or isotype-PE control (eBioscience Catalog #12-4714-42) for 15 minutes at 4° C., protected from light. Cells were washed twice, resuspended in FACS stain buffer, and results were acquired by flow cytometry. FIG. 1A shows the peak shift with the anti-human DR5 antibody (lower panel) as opposed to the isotype control (upper panel). FIG. 1B shows that DR5 expression varies by cell line, with 293F cells expressing the most DR5 among this set of cell lines.

Whole blood samples were collected from pregnant C57BL/6 dams (mated with BALB/c males) at 10.5 or 16.5 dpc (n = 6 each). Whole maternal blood (50 μL) was then incubated with 10 μL of GFP+ placenta-derived particles or 10 μL of pHrodo™ Green E. coli BioParticles (Life Technologies) for 15 min at 37°C or on ice. After incubation, the cells were washed with FACS stain buffer (BD Biosciences) and centrifuged at 400 x g for 5 min. The cells were then incubated with anti-mouse CD11b Alexa Fluor594, anti-mouse F4/80 APC, and anti-mouse Ly6G APC-Cy7 antibodies (Table S1) in FACS staining buffer (BD Biosciences) for 30 minutes at 4°C in the dark. After incubation, erythrocytes were lysed using Ammonium-Chloride-Potassium (ACK) lysing buffer (Lonza, Walkersville, MD), and the resulting leukocytes were collected after centrifugation at 400 x g for 5 min. Finally, the cells were washed and resuspended in 500 μL of FACS staining buffer and acquired using the BD LSRFortessa flow cytometer and FACSDiva 9 software. The analysis and figures were performed using FlowJo software version 10. The percentage of active phagocytic cells was calculated as the percentage of phagocytic cells at 37°C minus the percentage of phagocytic cells on ice.

Tumor Cell Isolation and Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The tumors were dissected and tumor cells were isolated using gentleMACS dissociator (Miltenyi Biotech #130-096-730). In brief, the tumors were washed in PBS, cut into pieces using a scalpel and dispersed in dissociation mix. The tumor suspensions were transferred into gentleMACS C tubes (Miltenyi Biotech #130-096-334) shaken at 37°C and 100 rpm for 45 min using a gentleMACS dissociator. Cell suspensions were centrifuged at 400 × g and 4°C for 10 min, then re-suspended in PBS + 2% heat inactivated (hi) FCS. The tumor homogenates were filtered using a cell strainer (70 µm) and subsequently centrifuged at 400 × g and 4°C for 10 min. The cell pellets were incubated for 2 min on ice in 1 ml ACK lysis buffer (Gibco #A10492-01) and washed once with 10 ml PBS+2% hi FCS. The number of cells was determined using a Vi-Cell XR Cell viability analyzer (Beckmann Coulter) and GFP-expressing tumor cells were quantified after staining with the mouse CD45-BV421 (Biolegend, #30-F11) to exclude mouse immune cells and fixable viability dye eFl780 (eBioscience, #65-0865-14) to exclude dead cells. After 30 min of incubation at 4°C, cells were washed, resuspended in FACS stain buffer (BD Biosciences, # 554656), and analyzed (2 × 105 gated on living cells).

For flow cytometry, cells were labeled with pre-determined optimum concentrations of antibodies at 4°C for 15 min, followed by washing in FACS Stain Buffer (BD Biosciences). For intracellular staining, cells were fixed and permeabilized with Cytofix/Cytoperm (BD Bioscience), and antibodies we added in the presence of BD PermWash buffer. Dead cells were labeled with LIVE/DEAD® yellow dye (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA). A BD LSR or LSRII was used for flow cytometry; and data were analyzed using FlowJo V10 software (Treestar, Ashland, OR). Gastric DCs were gated as live CD45pos/lineageneg/HLA-DRhigh cells. The lineage cocktail contained antibodies to CD3, CD19, and CD56.

After washing with FACS Stain Buffer (#554656, BD Biosciences), the cells were sorted in a FACSAriaII or FACSAria SORP sorter (BD Biosciences). Endothelial cells were collected in sterile DPBS (#14190-094, Thermo Fisher Scientific), centrifuged, and resuspended in lysis buffer (from PureLink™ RNA Micro Kit #12183016, Invitrogen) supplemented with 10% β-mercaptoethanol and finally snap-frozen in dry ice.

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.
