Targeted Delivery of HABN in Colitis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To check ability of HABN to target the inflamed site in the colon, a 1 day after preparing colitis mice or heathy mice by giving 3% DSS water or normal water for five days, 7.5 mg/kg (0.3% 1.8 μg Cy 5.5;) of HABN-Cy5.5, HACN-Cy5.5, or HA-Cy5.5 was orally administered into the mice. After 6 h, mice were euthanized, and organs including heart, kidney, lung, spleen, liver, stomach, small intestine and colon were excised. Fluorescence intensities in organs from each group were analyzed using a Xenogen IVIS Lumina in vivo imaging system (PerkinElmer) with a Cy 5.5 filter channel and an exposure time of 5 s.

Tracking CDCs in Ischemia-Reperfusion

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CDCs (1 × 106) were labeled with the liposomal dye DiD (ThermoScientific) and then delivered intravenously (tail vein infusion) following myocardial ischemia–reperfusion. Two hours later, organs (heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, spleen) were excised, rinsed in PBS, and then imaged for biofluorescence (Xenogen IVIS Lumina, PerkinElmer). CDC biofluorescence was normalized against organ-specific auto-fluorescence by acquiring CDC-treated and control organs within the same field.

Luminescent Monitoring of Breast Cancer Recurrence

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To monitor breast cancer recurrence in vivo, the luciferin/luciferase signal system was employed. Mice were injected intraperitoneally with 2.5 mg D-luciferin (Cat#122799, Perkin-Elmer), and after 5 minutes were anesthetized and imaged using Xenogen IVIS Lumina (Perkin-Elmer). Prior to surgical resection, a 15 second exposure was used to detect luminescent signal of the primary tumors. Following resection, a 5-minute exposure with dark charge-correction was employed in weekly imaging to monitor for recurrence via luminescent signal. At the first sign of recurrent signal detection, a relapse-free survival (RFS) event was recorded. When mice show signs of decline necessitating humane euthanasia, an overall survival (OS) event was recorded.

After establishing the Hepa 1-6 tumor-bearing mice model according to the above method, NCTD Gel loaded with Cy7 and free Cy7 were injected through intratumorally, respectively. At different time points after injection, Xenogen IVIS Lumina imaging system (Perkin Elmer Inc.) was used to compare the retention effect of NCTD Gel and Cy7 in the tumor.

Evaluating CAR T Cell Therapy for NALM6 Leukemia

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Luciferase-expressing NALM6-GPC2 (0.5 × 106) and NALM6-CD276 (0.5 × 106) cells were mixed and i.v. injected into NSG mice. Three days later, mock T cells (2.5 × 106 or 5 × 106) of each type of CAR T cell were injected to treat the mice. NALM6 leukemia was detected using the Xenogen IVIS Lumina (PerkinElmer) every 3 or 4 days. Twenty-one days after CAR T cell infusion, mice treated with 5 × 106 CAR T cells were euthanized for spleen collection, and splenic cells were used for flow cytometric analysis of NALM6 cells remaining in the spleen and of T cells phenotype.

In Vivo Bioluminescence Imaging of Murine Eyes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All mice used for live imaging were aged between 12 and 25 weeks. For imaging, mice were anesthetized using 1.5 to 2% isoflurane (Abbott Laboratories Ltd., Berkshire, UK) in approximately 1.5 L/min flow of oxygen. A mix of luciferin substrate (30 mg/mL D-luciferin potassium salt; Gold Biotechnology, St. Louis, MO, USA) mixed 1:1 w/v with Viscotears gel (Novartis, Camberley, UK) was dropped onto the eye of heterozygous Krt12+/luc2 transgenic mice immediately prior to imaging. A Xenogen IVIS Lumina (Perkin Elmer, Cambridge, UK) was used to quantify luminescence. A region of interest encircling the mouse eye was selected for quantification whose size and shape was kept constant throughout, using protocols as previously described.9 (link)

Mitochondrial Isolation and Biodistribution

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For in vitro experiments, mitochondria were isolated from HEK293 cells expressing a GFP targeted to mitochondria tag (addgene, plasmid #50057, Watertown, MA), whereas for in vivo experiments mitochondria were isolated from liver of PhAMexcised (Jackson Laboratory Stock No: 018397) or PhAMfloxed (Jackson Laboratory Stock No: 018385) crossed with Alb1-cre (Jackson Laboratory Stock No: 016832) mice using a previously described protocol13 . Cells (or liver) were digested in ice-cold isolation buffer containing 300 nM sucrose, 10 mM HEPES, 1 mM EGTA and 2 mg/mL subtilisin A protease (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) and the homogenate was centrifuged at 500 × g for 5 min at 4°C. To separate mitochondria from other cellular debris, the supernatant was centrifuged at 800 × g for 10 min and again at 3000 × g for 10 min at 4°C. The mitochondrial pellet was reconstituted in cold sterile 1X PBS, and the protein concentration equivalent was quantified by Bradford assay. Functional viability of isolated mitochondria was assessed using CellTiter-Glo (Promega) to measure ATP concentrations. Mitochondrial uptake into organs was determined ex vivo using epifluorescent bioimaging (Xenogen IVIS Lumina, Perkin Elmer Akron, OH, USA) at 30 min, 2 h, 24 h, 48 h, or 72 h following a single 20 μg/g mitochondrial delivery.

In Vivo Corneal Luminescence Imaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All mice used for live imaging were aged between 12 and 25 weeks old. For imaging, mice were anaesthetised using 1.5–2% isoflurane (Abbott Laboratories Ltd., Berkshire, UK) in ~1.5 l/min flow of oxygen. A mix of luciferin substrate (30 mg/ml D-luciferin potassium salt; Gold Biotechnology, St. Louis, USA) mixed 1:1 w/v with Viscotears gel (Novartis, Camberley, UK) was dropped onto the eye of heterozygous Krt12 +/luc2 transgenic mice immediately prior to imaging. A Xenogen IVIS Lumina (Perkin Elmer, Cambridge, UK) was used to quantify luminescence. Live images of mice (n = 4) were taken every 24 hours for 7 days, then once every week thereafter for six weeks (42 days) in total. Quantification of luciferase inhibition was determined by calculating the right/left ratio, with values normalised to those at day 0 (as 100%).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Depilated C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously inoculated in the dorsal right side with 1 × 106 B16F10 cells, and tumors were allowed to become established over time. When the tumor volume reached approximately 100 mm3, free cypate or SP3NPs at an equivalent cypate dose of 1 mg kg-1 was injected through the tail vein. At predetermined time points post-administration, the in vivo distribution of fluorescent free cypate and SP3NPs within the mice was assessed using a Xenogen IVIS Lumina imaging system (Perkin Elmer Inc.) with a built-in ICG filter set and an exposure time of 5 s. The ex vivo biodistribution patterns of cypate and SP3NPs were evaluated by a fluorescence imaging system as well. In some experiments, tumors were excised and cryosectioned, and the intratumoral distribution of free cypate or SP3NPs was assessed using confocal microscopy, as described above.

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.
