Isolation of Human Neutrophils from Buffy Coats

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human neutrophils were isolated from buffy coats as previously described (57 (link)). In brief, dextran T 500 (3%) (Carl Roth GmbH, Germany) (3% dextran T 500 in 0.9% NaCl, at 4:1) was added to the buffy coats in 15-mL tubes, and erythrocytes were sedimented at gravity for 20 min. The white blood cell layer was removed carefully, and cells were pelleted by centrifugation at 200 × g for 20 min. The cell pellet was resuspended in 12 mL of Hanks’ balanced salt solution (HBSS; Lonza Cologne GmbH, Germany), layered on top of 3 mL Ficoll-plaque Plus (GE Healthcare, Germany), and centrifuged at 400 × g for 20 min. Next, residual erythrocytes were lysed in lysis buffer (150 mM NH4Cl, 10 mM KHCO3, and 10 mM EDTA [pH 7.4]). The neutrophils were washed (200 × g for 10 min), suspended in HBSS, and used immediately.

Neutrophil Isolation from Whole Blood

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human neutrophils were isolated from whole blood by a 3% dextran sedimentation step (Dextran T500, Carl Roth GmbH, Germany) followed by centrifugation over a 1.077 g/ml Pancoll solution (PAN-Biotech). Cell viability was evaluated by trypan blue exclusion, and purity (> 95%) was verified by flow cytometry. After isolation, neutrophils were resuspended in HBSS +/+, quantified, and used for experiments as indicated.

Riboflavin-Dextran UV Tissue Treatment

Pericardial tissue was treated with 260 μM riboflavin (Serva, Germany) and 2% dextran T500 (Carl Roth, Germany) for at least 24 h. To prevent drying, samples were placed on filter paper immersed in riboflavin/dextran solution and irradiated with 570 mJ/cm2 UV (320–480 nm) within 30 min.

Isolation and Culture of Neutrophils and Monocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Neutrophils were isolated as described 38 (link). The procedure included a density gradient centrifugation step of whole blood on Ficoll-Hypaque (Pharmacia Diagnostics, Uppsala, Sweden), dextran sedimentation (4% dextran T 500, Carl ROTH, Germany), red cell osmotic lysis of the granulocyte pellet, and a final immunomagnetic negative selection step using the human MACSxpress® Neutrophil Isolation Kit (Miltenyi Biotec GmbH, Bergisch-Gladbach, Germany) and resulted repeatedly in >99% pure CD16+CD66b+CCR3-HLA-DR-CD19-CD3-CD14- cells. Neutrophils (1x106/ml) were cultured in RPMI 1640 (Sigma Aldrich, Darmstadt, Germany) supplemented with 10% autologous plasma alone or stimulated with GM-CSF (100 pg/ml), IFN-γ (10 ng/ml) and IL-3 (30 ng/ml; all from Peprotech, Rocky Hill, USA) as described 28 (link). Monocytes (>98% CD14+CCR3-CD19-CD3-) were obtained by using CD14 MicroBeads (Miltenyi Biotec) according to the manufacturer´s instructions.

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.
