Five- and 9-month-old HIV-tg and wt rats were lightly anesthetized with CO2, decapitated, and the brain excised from the cranium. The motor and somatosensory cortex were dissected on ice and immediately frozen on dry ice, and stored at −80°C. Cortical tissue (100 mg) was homogenized in Qiagen® lysis solution and total RNA was isolated by phenol-chloroform extraction using a RNeasy® lipid tissue mini-kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA) and 2 μg total RNA was used for reverse transcription (SuperScriptII, Invitrogen). qPCR was carried out on a Perkin Elmer ABI PRISM 7000 sequence detection system using 2.5 μL cDNA as a template, in combination with 1 Å~ Power SYBR Green Master Mix (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA), and optimized forward and reverse primers for tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) or interleukin-1 beta (IL1β).

For each sample, the level of VEGFR‐1 or VEGFR‐2 transcripts was normalized to that of 18S RNA (TaqMan® Gene Expression Assay; Applied Biosystems) and referred to the values of the VEGFR‐1 and VEGFR‐2 negative M14 bulk cell line, to which the arbitrary value of 1 was assigned. A melting curve (62‐95°C) was generated at the end of each run to verify specificity of the reactions. The 2‐ΔΔCq relative quantification method was used to calculate mRNA expression.

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.
