Bovine cartilage was harvested from the lower leg joints of a young calf. Briefly, the ankle joint was cut open along the joint line and cartilage tissue was cut with a scalpel into thin sections parallel to the subchondral bone.

T84 cells were seeded on coverslips in 24-well plates and infected with E coli–LF82 or E coli–HB101 (4 h, 108 CFU/mL), fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes, washed, and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in phosphate-buffered saline (Sigma, 2 × 5 min.) and blocked with 10% donkey serum (room temperature, 30 min). After addition of anti–E coli antibody (1:50, 30 min, 37ºC; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), washing (2 × 5 min), donkey anti-goat secondary Alexa Fluor–488 antibody (1:1000, 30 min, room temperature), cells were washed (2 × 5 min), stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI, 1:1000, 5 min, room temperature), rinsed, mounted with Dako fluorescent mounting medium (Dako North America, Inc, Agilent Technologies, CA), and viewed on an Olympus (Tokyo, Japan) BX41 wide-field fluorescence microscope.
The gentamycin assay assessed bacterial internalization.15 (link) T84 cells were grown to 50%–70% confluence as determined by phase-contrast microscopy, infected with E coli, a sample of the medium was collected, and then gentamycin (100 μg/mL, 1 h; Sigma) was added to the culture wells. After rinsing, epithelia were lysed with 1% Triton X-100, and the lysate was cultured for 18 hours at 37ºC on blood agar plates: CFUs were counted and data are presented as the percentage of internalization.

Infection of tumor cells with recombinant Salmonella strains was conducted as described by Vendrell et al. (53 (link)). Briefly, Ramos cells were cultured in 48-well plates (500,000 cells/well) in 1 mL of Advanced RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 2% FBS without antibiotic. The cells were infected at a Multiplicity of Infection (MOI) of 100 with previously induced recombinant bacteria. After centrifugation at 2,000 rpm for 5 min to foster the interaction between bacteria and cells, they were incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 2–10 h. Subsequently they were washed twice in base advanced RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with gentamycin (Sigma-Aldrich) 100 μg/mL and finally resuspended in 1 mL of advanced RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 2% FBS and 50 μg/mL gentamycin and used in the cellular viability and apoptosis detection protocols. Vincristine (Sigma-Aldrich) 0.5 nM diluted in injectable water was used as a positive control in all cases; this drug is used as treatment for NHL.

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.
