Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Canine adipose tissue batches were obtained from healthy dogs admitted to the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine for elective abdominal surgery unrelated to the study. Adipose tissue was excised during routine surgery and was intended to be discarded. Informed owner consent was obtained to use these excised adipose tissues that were considered medical waste. Adipose tissues from two dogs were used: a four-year old female mastiff dog and a one-year old female German shepherd dog. Adipocytes were isolated using a modification of previously described protocols26 (link), 32 (link). Briefly, approximately 5g of falciform fat pad was excised and then washed with sterile PBS. The fat was minced with a sterile blade in a P100 petri dish. 5ml of collagenase stock solution (1g collagenase type Ι (cat # 17100-017), 7.5% BSA 26.7ml, 1M HEPES 2.5ml, add DMEM to 100ml) was added to 45ml of DMEM to make a working solution. Minced tissue was incubated with the collagenase working solution in a 50ml tub at 37°C on a shaker for one hour, before being filtered and centrifuged at 2300rpm for 5 min. The pellet was homogenized by pipetting with DMEM, centrigued, then re-homogenized in 25ml of DMEM before purification using a 100µm cell strainer (BD Falcon). ASC were cultured in DMEM containing 20% FBS and passaged three times.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A visible KPC liver metastatic nodule was excised in a sterilized animal manipulation hood and placed in ice cold DMEM + 10% FBS. The nodule was transferred in media into a tissue culture hood. After rinsing the tissue with PBS to remove excess blood, the nodule was minced into approximately 3.0 mm pieces and digested in an enzyme solution (0.05 mg/ml collagenase I, 0.05 mg/ml collagenase IV, Hyaluronidase 0.025 mg/ml, DNase I 0.01 mg/ml in HBSS) for 30 min at 37°C in a tissue culture incubator. The supernatant was transferred to a 50 ml conical tube containing full DMEM media and the remaining pieces were further digested for another 15 min. All digested supernatants were pooled together and passed through a 100 µM cell strainer (BD FALCON). After washing the strainer twice with DMEM + 10% FBS, cells were cultured in a 10 cm tissue culture dish until they reached 70 to 80% confluence. Cells were then harvested by trypsinization and split at 1:80 for subculturing. After 3 rounds of similar subculturing and when cells were observed to grow uniformly on tissue culture dishes, cells were expanded into multiple dishes and subsequently cryopreserved in DMEM + 10% FBS + 10% DMSO solution. The generation of this new cell line was referred to as KPCML1 (KPC Metastasis Large nodule 1).

CD fistula samples were obtained from fistulizing CD patients undergoing surgery (seton placement/removal, or inspection) at the Amsterdam UMC, location AMC. Fistula scrapings were mechanically digested by mashing and flushing through a 100 µm cell strainer (BD Falcon, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) placed on a 50 mL tube (Sarstedt, Germany), and immune cells were isolated using Ficoll isolation [26 ]. Immune cells were incubated for 16 h with a concentration range of 0.0025, 0.01, 0.04, 0.625, 2.5, and 10 µM of either GSK3361191 (ESM-iBET), non-hydrolysable control GSK3235220 (iBET), or DMSO resolved in RPMI medium (Thermofisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). After incubation, the cells were either collected for cytokine analysis by CBA or flow cytometric analysis of intracellular TNFα. Cytokine data is visualized by normalizing the actual measured values to the DMSO control to correct for the biological variation in every individual patient.

Non-parenchymal cells were isolated from mouse livers at 40 h post-infection. Cells were obtained by adapting a method previously described (21 (link)). Briefly, liver lobes were removed and perfused with liver perfusion medium (Gibco; Invitrogen) with 750 mg/l of Collagenase H (Roche) at 37°C. The resulting suspension was filtered through a 100 µm cell strainer (BD Falcon). The dissociated cells were suspended in liver perfusion medium and centrifuged for 10 min at 1,500 rpm, resuspended in RPMI complete medium (Gibco; Invitrogen), mixed in Percoll (GE Healthcare) solution to give a final concentration of 30% Percoll, and then centrifuged at 2,000 rpm for 10 min. The cell pellet was resuspended in RPMI and carefully laid on 30% Percoll solution and centrifuged at 2,000 rpm for 10 min. The cell pellet collected was washed and resuspended in ACK (NH4Cl 0.15 M, KHCO3 10 mM, Na2EDTA⋅2H2O 0.1 mM and pH 7.2) for 3 min to lyse remaining erythrocytes. Cells were washed and centrifuged at 800 rpm for 20 s to discard the remaining hepatocytes; the supernatant was recovered, and NPCs were collected at 1,500 rpm for 5 min.
