The lentiviral constructs expressing mouse IL-4 were cloned into the pCDH vector (SBI). IL-4 cDNA was obtained from the National Center for Biotechnology Information. Lentiviralvectors were transfected with packing plasmids into 293T cells for 2 days, and the viral particles were used to infect RAW264.7 cells and BMDMs. Selection was carried out by culturing cells in medium containing 2 μg/mL puromycin for 2 days. RAW264.7 cells with IL-4 were marked as M-IL-4, and non-IL-4 cells were marked as M-Con.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The pri-miR-550-1 sequence was amplified by PCR from healthy human BM mononuclear cells (MNCs). Primers with mutated sequences (Table 1) were then used to generate the indicated mutant miR-550-1 template, and these wild type (WT) and mutant miR-550-1 sequences were thereafter cloned into the MSCV-PIG vector (MSCV-Puromycin-IRES-GFP vector) (Cold Spring Harbour Laboratory, USA) in order to overexpress these two miRNA isoforms. These sequences were inserted between the XhoI (CTCGAG) and EcoRI (GAATTC) sites in this vector. For WWTR1-CDS vectors, the WT sequence was amplified from healthy human BM MNCs prior to insertion into the pCDH vector (SBI, Mountain View, USA). The MSCVneo-MLL-AF9 plasmid was kindly provided by Dr. Scott Armstrong.
One day prior to transfection, 5 ×105 HEK293T cells were plated into 60-mm dishes. Retroviruses were then produced via transfecting cells with vector DNA and a packaging vector (PCL-Eco or PCL-Ampho) with the Effectene Transfection Kit (Qiagen). The WWTR1 overexpressing lentivirus was generated via co-transfection of the WWTR1-pCDH plasmid and packaging lentivirus vectors (pRSV-Rev, pMDLg/pRRE and pMD2.G). At 48 and 72 h post-transfection, cellular supernatants were harvested and filtered through a 0.45 μm cellulose acetate filter prior to storage.

A genomic fragment of the mmu‐miR‐486 precursor from mouse chromosome was amplified. PCR primers were 5′‐tctagataactgagccaaggatgggtgggccag‐3′ and 5′‐gcctagggcggccgctcaggggtgggggtgggt‐3′. The PCR product was cloned into the pCDH vector (Catalog number: CD511B‐1; SBI, Mountain View, California, USA) by fusion cloning. For overexpression of Cebpa, a sequence encoding the CDS region of Cebpa was cloned into the GV287 vector (Catalog number: GV287; Shanghai Genechem Co., Ltd, Shanghai, China). PCR primers were 5′‐tggccccgtgaaaaatga‐3′ and 5′‐ggaggtgcaaaaagcaaggg‐3′. Then, the vectors and pPACK packaging plasmid mix (pCMV‐R8.92 and pVSVG‐I from Shanghai Holly Biotech Co., Ltd. Shanghai, China) were co‐transfected into 293T cells with Lipofectamine 2000 (Catalog number: 11668019; Invitrogen). Forty‐eight hours later, viral particles were collected from the supernatant and subsequently purified. After titer determination, virus was stored in single use aliquots for future use at −80°C to reduce viral titer loss from freeze‐thaw cycles.

Characterization of BRPF2-HBO1 Histone Acetyltransferase Complex

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
cDNAs encoding full-length Flag-BRPF2 and full-length His-HBO1 were cloned into the pCDH vector (SBI). HEK 293T cells were transfected with WT or mutant full-length Flag-BRPF2 and full-length His-HBO1. Cells were harvested 48 h post-transfection, and nuclear extracts were prepared using the nuclear and cytoplasmic protein extraction kit (Beyotime). Immunoprecipitation (IP) was performed based on the method described previously (32 (link)) with modifications. Specifically, the nuclear extracts were incubated with anti-Flag M2 magnetic beads (Sigma) at 4°C for 8 h. After washing three times with the buffer, the bound protein complexes were eluted with a 3× Flag peptide (Sigma) and then subjected to HAT assays using NCPs as the substrate. In HAT assays, the 30 μl reaction mixture consisted of 20 μl eluted protein complex, 0.1 mM AcCoA and 0.05 μM NCPs. The reaction was carried out at 30°C for 60 min, and the reaction mixture was analyzed with SDS-PAGE, Coomassie blue staining and western blotting with antibodies specific to His, Flag or acetylated H3K14.

Lentiviral Barcode Library Generation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DNA barcodes consisting of a 6bp library identifier followed by a 35bp (ZH33, ZG66) or 30bp (ZH17) random barcode were produced from synthesized oligonucleotides and cloned into the non-expressing region of the HIV-derived replication-defective pCDH vector (System Biosciences Mountain View, CA) (Lu et al., 2011 ) (Fig 1A). High diversity libraries suitable for efficient transduction of rhesus macaque CD34+ cells were produced by calcium phosphate transfection of 293T cells with the barcoded lentiviral vector plasmid and χHIV helper plasmids (Uchida et al., 2012 (link); Uchida et al., 2009 (link)).
The diversity of the library was assessed via transduction of the rhesus cell line LCL8864 and CD34+ primary cells, low cycle PCR, Illumina sequencing, custom python code processing, and quantitation of unique barcodes and copy number per barcode (Fig S2). Monte Carlo simulation (Supplemental Methods) utilizing this experimental data was used to determine the number of target cells able to be transduced with this vector barcode library diversity with various probabilities that >95% of retrieved barcodes represent single cells (Lu et al., 2011 ).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To evaluate the functional effects of overexpressed miR-148a, the pCDH vector (System Bioscience, Mountain View, CA, USA) was used as the overexpressed miR-148a system. We constructed the pCDH-miR-148a plasmid by intercalating the miR-148a PCR product into multiple cloning sites of the pCDH vector. The following PCR primer sequences were used for miR-148a cloning: GCCTGAATTCATGCTTTTAACGAGTTATTCTTC and CTAGGCGGCCGCGCCTTGCCCCTCCCCCAAGGA. The forward and reverse primers were extended by inclusion of GAATTC and GCGGCCGC sequences, respectively, creating EcoR1 and Not1 restriction sites at their 5′ end, respectively. The miR-148a overexpression vectors were confirmed through direct DNA sequencing.

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.
