To prepare protein lysates from colon tissue, 1 cm of the proximal colon was harvested, washed with PBS, and minced into small pieces (∼1 mm). Colon pieces were resuspended in 500 μl nonenzymatic cell dissociation buffer (Sigma-Aldrich) and treated by sonication on ice for 1 min for 20 timed cycles using the Ultrasonic Processor W-385, Heat Systems-Ultrasonics, Inc. Cycle time was set to 2 s, 60% duty cycle at maximum output control. Samples were centrifuged at 2,000 g for 10 min at 4°C to remove cell debris. Supernatants were collected and stored at −80°C until analysis.
For serum preparation, whole blood was collected by cardiopuncture and allowed to clot undisturbed at room temperature for 30 min. Clots were removed by centrifugation at 2,000 g for 10 min at 4°C. Serum samples were collected and stored at −80°C until analysis.
Cytokines in colon lysates and serum were measured by the ProcartaPlex assay (mouse ProcartaPlex panel 1A; Invitrogen) performed on a Luminex 200 machine (Luminex). Cytokines and chemokines analyzed were as follows: CXCL1 (C-X-C motif chemokine 1), CXCL2, CXCL5, CXCL10, CCL2 (C-C motif ligand 2), CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, CCL7, Eotaxin, IFN-α, IFN-γ, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-9, IL-10, IL-12p70, IL-13, IL-15/IL-15R, IL-17A, IL-18, IL-22, IL-23, IL-27, IL-28, IL-31, G-CSF, GM-CSF, M-CSF, leukemia inhibitory factor, and TNF-α.

Cells were seeded at a density of 1 × 105 cells/cm2 and infected with Tha or Th2P-4M at an MOI of 5. Forty-eight hours post-infection, cells were lysed using Procartaplex™ cell lysis buffer (EPX-99999-000, Thermo Scientific) according to the manufacturer’s instructions to quantify protein expression in the cellular cytoplasm. Intracellular protein concentrations of human IFN-β, IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-15, CXCL10, LIF, CCL5, and TNF-α were quantified using a 9-plex Procartaplex assay (PPX-09, Thermo Scientific). In short, DropArray 96-well-plates (96-CC-BD-05, Clinisciences, Nanterre, France) were blocked using 1% BSA for 30 min. After blocking, 20 µL of cell lysate was added per well. According to the protocol, plates were stepwise incubated with 5 µL detection antibody, 10 µL streptavidin-PE, and 10 µL reading buffer per well before being read by the Luminex 200™ instrument (Thermo Scientific).

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.
