Antigen-specific T cell proliferation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Co-culture of autologous T cells, keratinocytes and DCs was performed in RPMI complete and 96-well flat-bottom microplates (Nunc, Roskilde, Denmark). Nickel sulfate (20 µg/mL) (Sigma, München, Germany) was used as antigen. Specific T cell proliferation was measured after 48 h by the incorporation of radioactive-labeled 3H-thymidin (GE Healthcare, München, Germany). A proliferation index (PI), defined as the ratio of T cell proliferation with and without antigens, greater than 2 was regarded as specific proliferation. T cell cytokine production was evaluated in cell-free supernatants by ELISA (BD Biosciences, Heidelberg, Germany).
Co-culture settings were varied by using the supernatants of keratinocyte cultures instead of keratinocytes and by the separation of T cells and keratinocytes via a transwell chamber (Nunc, Roskilde, Denmark).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The rats were divided into four groups for thirty-day administration. As the control group the rats were injected with 1 ml isotonic saline solution, intraperitoneally (Group1, n=6). Nickel sulfate (Acros Organics) was given alone at doses of 5 mg/kg/day (Su et al. 2011) to Group 2 (n=6), respectively. In the SB (Sigma Chemical) group (Group 3, n=6) the rats received only daily SB in 150 mg/kg/day dose (Oufi and AlShawi 2014) . SB, 150 mg/kg/day was added to Nickel sulfate 5 mg/kg/ /day in Group 4 (n=6). Nickel sulfate was always diluted with 1 ml isotonic saline solution and administered intraperitoneally and SB was suspended in a 0.3% carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) (Sigma Chemical) solution and administered orally (Lu et al. 2009 ). The rats were sacrificed by cervical dislocation on the thirty-first day. Following collection of testes and sperm samples, the serum was prepared by centrifugation (1500xg, 15 min, 4°C), frozen and stored at 20°C; the sperm samples obtained from fresh cauda epididymis were held in 0.9% NaCl and were processed according to the method described previously (Muralidhara and Narasimhamurthy 1991) to determine the sperm counts. Motility, membrane, and acrosome integrity of the sperms were checked using the method described previously (Sen et al. 2017) .

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.
