Tcam2-cells were double transfected using the Surefect transfection reagent according to manufactures protocol (Nunclon Surface, Nunc). Cells were transfected with CIP2A-promoter construct (1802 bp upstream [38 (link)], renilla plasmid and siRNA (either scrambled or siOct4-1). Promoter construct (200 ng), renilla (10 ng) and 2 pmol of siRNA were transfected per 96 well plate. Transfections with −1802 bp, −865 bp and −1802ΔCIP2ALuc CIP2A promoter constructs were also done as described above only without siRNAs. −1802ΔCIP2ALuc construct was produced by GenScript mutagenesis service from −1802CIP2ALuc promoter construct and resulting promoter sequence was validated by DNA sequencing. After 3 days the promoter activity was measured using Promega's Dual-Glo luciferase Assay system (E2940) according to manufactures protocol. Luminescence was measured with Victor-multilabel counter 1420 (PerkinElmer).

Cell density was also estimated by means of a Quant-iT™ PicoGreen ® dsDNA Assay Kit (Invitrogen). Briefly, after 7 days, samples were washed with PBS and frozen in a -80ºC freezer. Once thawed, samples were digested with Proteinase K (Roche) diluted 1 to 20 in DPBS at pH 8.1 for 16 h under gently shaking; next, the enzyme was inactivated for 10 min at 90ºC. As soon as they were tempered, the samples were vortexed for 1 min and centrifuged for 1 min at 650 g. Next, 28.7 µL of the supernatants and standards were mixed with 28.52 µL of the Picogreen reagent at a 1:200 concentration in Tris-EDTA (TE) buffer, and 100 µL more of TE buffer was added to each well in a 96-well plate. After 5 min of incubation, fluorescence was measured in a Victor Multilabel Counter 1420 spectrophotometer (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA, USA) at 535 nm.

Controlled Release of BSA from PEA-HA Scaffolds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used as a protein model to evaluate the potential of PEA scaffolds coated with HA as a controlled release system. Each sample (previously swollen in PBS) was loaded overnight at 37ºC in 1.2 mL of a 1 mg/mL BSA (Thermo Scientific) solution in PBS. After absorption, samples were transferred to 1.2 mL of fresh PBS each to follow the protein release. The supernatants were collected at selected time points (up to 240 h) and replaced with fresh PBS tempered at 37ºC. Three replicates per time, material and treatment were measured.
The BSA concentration in each supernatant was determined with a Micro BCA Protein assay kit (Thermo Scientific) following the manufacturer's instructions, and its absorbance was read with a Victor Multilabel Counter 1420 spectrophotometer (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA; USA) at 570 nm.

Sustained FITC-IgG Release from pG_EAK/EAK Hydrogel

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The release kinetics of a fluorescein (FITC)-labeled IgG (Pierce goat anti-human IgG) from pG_EAK/EAK gel were determined by monitoring the cumulative fluorescence in release media over 3 months. IgG-loaded gels were injected at the bottom of MicroSert (inner diameter = 4.15 mm, maximum volume = 500 μL) by instilling a mixture of EAK (60 nmol), pG_EAK (150 pmol) and IgGFITC (75 pmol). The 55 μL mixture was incubated overnight at 37 °C before adding 400 μL of PBS containing 0.1% BSA, 0.024% NaN3 as the release medium. The insert was placed in its receptacle vial and capped to prevent the medium evaporation. The vial was put under 37 °C for incubation. At various time points, 200 μL of the release medium were collected for measurement using plate reader (Perkin Elmer 1420 Multilabel Counter VICTOR™, excitation = 485 nm; emission = 535 nm). Aliquots of fresh release medium were added to restore the system to its initial volume. The apparent diffusivity (Dapp) of IgG in pG_EAK/EAK gel was estimated by fitting the initial release to the non-steady state Fickian equation, relating Mt/M as a function of t0.5.

Cytotoxicity Evaluation of GFPs

RAW 264.7 cells (5 × 103 cells/well) were cultured in 96-well microplates overnight and treated with serial concentrations (10~160 μg·mL−1) of GFPs for 24 h. Blank control and positive control group were prepared by replacing GFPs solution with equal volume of culture medium and LPS at work concentration of 0.4 μg·mL−1. Then, 10 μL of 5 mg·mL−1 MTT solution in PBS (pH 7.4) was added to each well and incubated for additional 4 h in the dark. After discarding the medium, 100 μL DMSO was added to dissolve the formazan crystals in each well. Finally, the absorbance was detected at 570 nm using a microplate reader (1420 Multilabel counter victor, Perkin-Elmer, Waltham, MA, USA). The percentage of cell viability was expressed as the ratio of absorbance values between samples and blank control groups.

The mAb pairs for assay design were selected through a one-step immunoassay. The capture mAbs were adsorbed on plates in phosphate buffer saline (1 μg/100 μl/well; incubation for 30 min). Following three washes with TBST, 75 μl of the detection mAbs in DELFIA assay buffer (200 ng/well) labeled with a stable Eu3+ chelate [39 (link)] and 25 μl of the D-dimer-containing sample were added and the mixture was incubated for 1 h. Following six washes with TBST, the enhancement solution (300 μl/well) was added and the mixture was incubated for 3 min under vigorous shaking. The signals were detected using a 1420 Multilabel Counter Victor instrument (Perkin Elmer, USA).

CLL cells were treated as stated in “Stimulation and treatment of CLL cells”. Four hours before the end of incubation, 10 μl of WST-1 Cell Proliferation Reagent (Roche) was added, and the absorbance was read at 450 nm using spectrophotometer 1420 Multilabel Counter Victor (PerkinElmer).

Example 5

400 pmole of CFP10 was mixed with 10 μL of magnetic beads, and then incubated in 100 μL of a binding buffer (20 mM Tris, 50 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, pH 8.0) for 1 hour. To separate unbound CFP10, washing was performed twice with a binding buffer. Subsequently, the resulting mixture was incubated together with various concentrations of a Cy3-labeled aptamer, and an unbound aptamer was removed by washing. The amount of Cy3-labeled ssDNA aptamer bound to the magnetic beads with CFP10 immobilized thereon was measured by fluorescence measurement (1420 Victor Multilabel counter, PerkinElmer, USA) by separating only Cy3-labeled ssDNA bound to CFP10. As a result, as shown in FIG. 3 and Table 2 below, the Kd value of the DNA aptamer having a CG6 base sequence was measured.

Example 5

16 μg of TB7.7 was mixed with 10 μL of magnetic beads, and then incubated in 100 μL of a binding buffer (20 mM Tris, 50 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, pH 8.0) for 1 hour. To separate unbound TB7.7, washing was performed twice with a binding buffer. Subsequently, the resulting mixture was incubated together with various concentrations of a Cy3-labeled aptamer for an hour, and an unbound aptamer was removed by washing. The amount of Cy3-labeled ssDNA aptamer bound to the magnetic beads with TB7.7 immobilized thereon was measured by fluorescence measurement (1420 Victor Multilabel counter, PerkinElmer, USA) by separating only Cy3-labeled ssDNA bound to TB7.7. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C and Table 2 below, the Kd value of the DNA aptamer having a TG4, TG5, or TG6 base sequence was measured. Through these results, it was confirmed that TG4 was the most stable and exhibited the lowest Kd value, and thus was applied to the subsequent experiments.

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.
