Collagenase type cls 4

Manufactured by Harvard Bioscience

Collagenase type CLS IV is an enzyme used for the dissociation of connective tissues. It is effective in the isolation of a variety of cell types, including those derived from epithelial, endothelial, and neural tissues.

Up to 4 biopsies per patient were pooled and digested in 1 mL of Hanks’ balanced salt solution Ca2+Mg2+ (Gibco) supplemented with 0.5% (v/v) human AB-serum, 100 IU ml−1 of penicillin, 100 µg ml−1 of streptomycin, 0.25 µg ml−1 of amphotericin B, 10 IU ml−1 of DNase I (CellSystems) and 1 mg ml−1 of collagenase type CLS IV (Biochrom) for 30 min at 37 °C while shaking. Cells were filtered through a 40-µm cell strainer to remove aggregates and stained with fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies to CD4-VioBlue, CD3-PE, CD8-PerCP, CD14-PerCP, CD20-PerCP, CD45RO-APC and CCR7-PE-Vio770 (all Miltenyi Biotec). Each 200 CD3+CD4+CD45RO+ cells were sorted in multiple wells of a 96-well plate containing irradiated allogeneic feeder cells in TexMACS medium, supplemented with 5% (v/v) human AB-serum, 200 U ml−1 of IL-2 and 100 IU ml−1 of penicillin, 100 µg ml−1 of streptomycin, 0.25 µg ml−1 of amphotericin B at a density of 2 × 105 cells cm−2. Cells were polyclonally expanded for 4 weeks in the presence of 30 ng ml−1 of anti-CD3 (OKT-3; Miltenyi Biotec). Restimulation with different fungal lysates was performed as described above. To calculate the frequencies of reactive T cells, the mean values were calculated for each antigen and divided by the number of input wells.

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.
