Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Il22ra1tm1a/tm1a, RegIIIγtm1a/tm1a, and WT C57BL/6N mice were maintained and phenotyped by the Sanger Mouse Genetics Programme (White et al., 2013 (link)). Endogenous Il22ra1 expression was detected by overnight incubation with 0.1% (w/v) X-gal (Invitrogen). All animals were kept under specific pathogen-free conditions, and colony sentinels tested negative for Helicobacter spp. Mice were infected orally with 109 cfu of Kanamycin (Kan)- and nalidixic acid (Nal)-resistant luminescent Citrobacter rodentium ICC180 (Wiles et al., 2006 (link)) or intravenously (i.v.) with 105 cfu Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium M525 TETc (Clare et al., 2003 (link)). Where indicated, C. rodentium-infected mice were administered intraperitoneal (i.p.) ampicillin (50 mg/kg; Sigma-Aldrich), oral 2′-fucosyllactose, H disaccharide, lactose (2 mg/day; Carbosynth), or PBS controls. DSS colitis was induced by administering 2% (w/v) DSS (MP Biomedicals) in drinking water for 7 days, followed by normal autoclaved water. The care and use of mice were in accordance with the UK Home Office regulations (UK Animals Scientific Procedures Act 1986) and were approved by the Sanger Institute’s Animal Welfare and Ethical Review Body.

Atropine and Supplements Effects on HCE-F

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Initially, 5 × 103 HCE-F/well were seeded in 96-well plates and left to adhere, overnight, in complete culture medium. In a first set of experiments the following treatments were carried out in SFM: atropine (1, 1.7, and 3.4 mM), for 24, 48, and 72 h. In a second set of experiments, HCE-F cells were treated with 0.15% HA (HMW: 1.8 MDa; Fidia pharmaceutical SpA, Abano Terme, Italy), 0.5% colostrum (NZpurehealth, Auckland, New Zeland), 0.5% 2-Fucosyl-Lactose (Carbosynth, Berkshire, UK, cat. No. OF06739) and two mixes (Mix A: 0.15% HA + 0.5% colostrum; Mix B: 0.15% HA + 0.5% 2FL) in the presence of atropine 1 mM; the medium with the supplements was changed every day for 4 days. Cytotoxicity was measured by the MTT method with the cell counting kit-8 assay (CKK8, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Missouri, USA, Cat. No. 96992) according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

Lactose monohydrate and acetonitrile (HPLC grade) were supplied by VWR (Barcelona, Spain). MOPS (3-(N-morpholino) propanesulfonic acid), xylitol, phenyl-βglucoside, maltulose, maltose, cellobiose, mannitol, sorbitol, sucrose, and pNP-β-Dgalactopyranoside were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (Stenheim, Germany).

All other chemicals were of analytical grade. The hydrolytic activity of LacA β-galactosidase (1.16 U mL -1 ) was also assayed by incubation at 30⁰C of different carbohydrates such as lactose, lactulose, cellobiose, gentiobiose, maltose, isomaltulose and sucrose at 200 g L -1 with 300 μL of enzyme in 50 mM of MOPS buffer supplemented with 20 mM of NaCl (pH=7) to a final volume of 1 mL. In the case of 2-fucosyl-lactose, isomaltose, nigerose and maltulose the concentration was 0.5 g L -1 . Reactions were stopped at 24 hours by heating at 100ºC for 5 min and samples were stored at -20⁰C for the subsequent analysis. Reactions were carried out in triplicate (n = 3). All these hydrolytic reactions were monitored by GC-FID.

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.
