Five or six 6-week old IFN-α/β/γR KO C57BL/6 mice per group were challenged i.p. with 2.0 × 106 FFU of DENV-3 (P12/08) under anesthesia. Twenty hours post challenge, HuMAbs 1F11, 3G9, 3G9-LALA, 3G9-N265A, 3G9-N297A, or isotype control (500 μg/mouse) were injected i.p., and the mice were observed for 20 days. Mice were euthanized for humane purposes if they showed apparent symptoms.
Five 6-week old BALB/c mice per group were injected with 2 mg of anti-type I IFN receptor monoclonal antibody (MAR1-5A3, BioXcell, Lebanon, NH) i.p. at day 1 before initiating the viral challenge with 1.0 × 106 FFU of DENV-2 (NGC) i.p. under anesthesia. Twenty hours post-challenge, HuMAb 3G9, 3G9-N297A, or isotype control (100 μg/mouse) were injected via the i.p route. Blood samples were collected at days 2 and 3 post challenge. Infectious viral particles were subjected to viral titration.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Streptomycin-treated model of EHEC infection was established as described before53 (link). Briefly, 8–16 weeks old C57BL/6 mice were treated with streptomycin sulphate (5 g/L) in drinking water for 5 days before orally gavaging with 1 × 1010 CFU EHEC or ΔEhaF. Fecal shedding of bacteria was calculated by serial dilution of fecal slurries and plating. Colon samples collected from a group of mice on days 2 and 3 post infection were homogenized in cold PBS containing protease inhibitor cocktail and the levels of cytokines in the lysates were analyzed by ELISA. Colon samples were also serially diluted and plated to assess bacterial colonization. Survival of animals following infection was assessed in a separate group of mice. For mouse studies with IFNAR antibody treatment, following streptomycin treatment as described above, mice were injected intraperitoneally with 250 µg of isotype control (In vivo Mouse IgG1 isotype control, BE0083, MOPC-21, BioXcell) or anti-IFNAR antibody (In-vivo Mouse monoclonal Anti-mouse IFNAR-1, BE0241, MAR1-5A3, BioXcell)70 (link). One day after the antibody injection mice were infected with 1 × 1010 CFU EHEC. The antibody treatment was repeated on day 1 and day 3 post infection. Fecal shedding of EHEC and survival of mice were assessed as described above.

Zika and Supra-Lethal Infection Protocols in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For Zika infection experiments, we used 4-wk-old mice (C57BL/6) since this facilitated intracranial challenges. In all other experiments, 6–8-wk-old C57BL/6 or BALB/c mice were used. Mice were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory (approximately half males and half females). Mice were immunized intramuscularly (50 µl per quadriceps), subcutaneously (100 µl in the right flank), or intranasally (25 µl per nostril) with the indicated viral vectors. IgG isotype control (MOPC-21) or IFN-I receptor subunit 1 (IFNAR1)–blocking antibodies (MAR1-5A3) were purchased from BioXCell or Leinco and diluted in sterile PBS. 100 µg of antibody was administered, admixed together with each viral vector vaccine (as a single bolus).
Zika challenges were performed intracranially with 104 PFU. Supra-lethal bacterial challenges were performed with either LM-GP33 or LM-OVA at 107 CFU intravenously via lateral tail vein injection using a mouse restrainer. Other viral challenges consisted of 2 × 106 PFU of VV-OVA through the intranasal route, 106 PFU of YFV-17D through the intravenous route, or 106 PFU of MHV coronavirus through the intranasal route. Mice were housed at the Northwestern University Center for Comparative Medicine located in downtown Chicago. All mouse experiments were performed with approval of the Northwestern University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee.

Mice were anesthetized with isoflurane and treated i.ph. with 30 – 50μL injection-grade saline containing TLR agonists (10μg CpG ODN 2088, CpG type B, Invivogen, #tlrl-1826; 50μg Pam3CSK4 (Pm3), Invivogen, #vac-pms) or recombinant cytokines (5μg TNFα, PeproTech, #315-01A; 2.0x104U IFNβ, PBL, #12400-1; 200U IL-1α #211-11A, 200U IL-1β #211-11B or both together at 200U total, PeproTech) to allow for pulmonary delivery one week (unless otherwise stated in the figure legends) prior to SCV2 infection. For neutralization of cytokine signaling, mice were i.p. injected with 500μg anti-TNFα (BioXCell clone XT3.11), 500μg anti-IFNAR1 (BioXCell clone MAR1-5A3) and/or 500μg IgG1 isotype control (BioXCell clone MOPC-21) in injection-grade saline. For inhibition of Nlrp3, mice were injected i.p. with 600μg MCC950 (SelleckChem #S7809) on the day of SCV2 infection and again two days later. For inhibition of arginase-1, mice were administered 100μg Nor-NOHA (Cayman Chemical #10006861) i.n. once daily on the day before, the day of, and two days following SCV2 infection.

SNP vaccines were prepared in sterile PBS (Gibco) and administered intravenously by tail vein injection (100 μl). For ChAdOx1 vaccinations, viral stocks were thawed on ice and then resuspended in PBS at a concentration that yielded 1 × 108 IU per 100 μl IV dose or 1 × 108 IU per 50μl IM dose. For IFNα receptor blockade, mice were treated 500μg of anti-IFNα receptor 1 antibody (MAR1–5A3; Bio X Cell) in 100μl of PBS via intraperitoneal injection. Mice were also treated with 200μg of anti-PD-L1 antibody in 100μl of PBS via intraperitoneal injection (10F.9G2; BioXcell).

Splenocytes from untreated or Flt3L-treated mice were co-cultured with uninfected or NDV-preinfected GFP+ A20 cells at a 4:1 or 1:1 ratio for DC activation and tumor Ag uptake analysis, respectively, for 24 h. DC activation was analyzed by a 25-color spectral flow cytometry panel by staining with the following antibodies: CD132-PE, CD80-PE-Cy7, CD16.2-Pacific Blue, Sca-1-AlexaFluor 700, CCR7-PE-Cy5, MHC1b Qa-2-AlexaFluor 647, TCRβ-BV421, CD49b-BV421, CD317-BV605, F4/80-BV510, XCR1-BV650, PD-L1-BV711, CD25-BV785, Ly6G-BV570, Ly6C-PerCP-Cy5.5, CD169-PEDazzle-594, B220-BV750, CD11b-APC-Cy7, I-Ad-FITC, CD8-Pacific Orange, CD86-BV480, Galectin-9-PerCP-eFluor710, and CD11c-AlexaFluor 532 (details are listed in Supplementary Table 2). Viability was assessed by 7AAD. For T cell activation and T cell and DC blockade experiments splenocytes from Flt3L-treated mice were co-cultured with uninfected or NDV-preinfected A20 cells at a 4:1 ratio. Where indicated, splenocytes were treated with 20 μg/ml Clec9A-blocking antibodies (7H11, BioXCell), 20 μg/ml IFNAR-blocking antibodies (MAR1-5A3, BioXCell) or isotype control antibodies 1 h before co-culture, or 1 μM of the AXL inhibitor R428 (S2841, Selleckchem) 24 h and 30 min before co-culture with A20 cells. Blockade experiments and tumor Ag uptake experiments were analyzed by conventional flow cytometry.

To analyze innate function of naive CD8+ T cell subsets, splenocytes or thymocytes from indicated mice were plated in 96-well cell culture plates (1 × 106 cells/well) and cultured for 12–24 h with IL-12 (10 ng/ml), IL-18 (10 ng/ml), and with or without IL-2 (50 ng/ml). In some experiments, spleens of B6 previously transferred with CD44loLy6C CD8+ Ly5.1/5.2 T cells or spleens of B6 i.p. injected with anti-IFNAR (MAR1-5A3; BioXCell) every other day for 10 days (200–300 μg/once/mice) were used. Cultured cells were harvested and stained for cell surface markers, fixed and permeabilized using BD Cytofix/Cytoperm buffer (BD Biosciences) and then stained with fluorochrome-conjugated anti-IFN-γ antibody. To analyze cytokine production after peptide restimulation, CD5lo, Ly6C, and Ly6C+ CD8+ T cells were purified from P14.Rag1–/– Ly5.1/5.2 mice and transferred to B6 hosts (104 cells/mice). Mice were infected with LCMV (2 × 105 pfu/mice) day after transfer and assessed 7 days later. Splenocytes were prepared from infected mice and plated in 96-well cell culture plate (106 cells/well). Cells were stimulated with titrated dose of gp33 peptide (10−4–10−1 μM) for 5 h. GolgiPlμg (BD Biosciences) was added after the first hour. Cells were harvested and stained with fluorochrome-conjugated anti-IFN-γ, anti-IL-2, and anti-TNF antibodies as described elsewhere.

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.
