Evaluating Surface Marker Expression in MSC Variants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The expression of surface markers on MSC, nvMSC-HLA-G1, and vMSC-HLA-G1 was evaluated by flow cytometry using the following monoclonal anti-human antibodies: HLA-G FITC (ABD Serotec, Oxford, UK), HLA DR, DP, DQ FITC (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA), HLA-ABC PE (BD Pharmingen, San Jose, CA), MICA/MICB FITC, CD155 FITC (both from ABD Serotec), ULBP-1 PE, ULBP-2 PE (both from R&D Systems), CD58 PE (BD Biosciences), TLR9 FITC, TLR4 PE (both from Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and TLR3 Alexa 647 (Imagenex, Port Coquitlam, BC, Canada). Cells were also stained for HLA E (Abcam), ULBP-3 (R&D Systems), and CD112 (ABD Serotec) using Alexa Fluor 488 Goat Anti-Mouse IgG (Molecular Probes-Life Technologies) as secondary antibody. Briefly, cells were incubated for 15 minutes in the dark with saturating concentrations of each antibody. Stained cells were then washed with phosphate-buffered saline 0.1% azide, fixed with 1% formaldehyde, and analyzed by flow cytometry using the CellQuest software (Becton Dickinson Biosciences, San Jose, CA). A total of 10,000 events was acquired for each sample. Appropriate isotype (negative) controls were performed for each antibody.

Phenotyping Cervical Cancer Cell Lines

To phenotype cervical cancer cell lines, cell suspensions in PBS supplemented with 0.1 % BSA and 0.02 % NaN3 (FACS buffer) were stained for 30 min at 4 °C using antibodies to HLA-ABC (clone w6/32, Immunotools) (labeled with FITC), HLA-E (clone 3D12HLA-E, eBioscience), HLA-G (clone 87G, Biolegend), EGFR (clone EGFR.1, BD Biosciences), PVR (clone SK11.4, Biolegend), MICA/B (clone 6D4, Biolegend), ULBP2/5/6 (clone #165903, R&D systems), ULBP1 (clone #170818, R&D systems) and ULBP3 (clone #166510, R&D systems) (all labeled with PE). IgG1, IgG2a and IgG2b isotype antibodies were used as negative controls. After incubation, the cells were washed with FACS buffer and analyzed using a flow cytometer LSR Fortessa (BD Biosciences). Phenotypic analyses were obtained from at least two independent experiments performed on each cell line. Data were analyzed using Kaluza software (Beckman coulter) and calculated as specific (geometric) mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) (MFI; geometric mean fluorescence of marker − geometric mean fluorescence of isotype).

Quantitative MICA, MICB, ULBP Assay Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ELISAs for MICA, MICB, ULBP1, ULBP2, and ULBP3 (R&D) were performed as per the manufacturer's instructions. All samples and standards were assayed in duplicate. Plates were read immediately using an automated plate reader (Finstruments Multiskan) at 450 nm. Mean optical densities (OD) for each standard and sample were taken and antigen concentrations were calculated using Excel for Mac 2011 (Microsoft).

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.
