Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Female and male NSG (NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ) mice from the Jackson Laboratories (Bar Harbor, ME, USA) or female Balb/c mice (BALB/cJRj, Janvier labs, Le Genest-Saint-Isle, France) were used for all experiments. Human CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells were isolated from human cord blood by magnetic separation (EasySep™ Human Cord Blood CD34 Positive Selection Kit II, STEMCELL technologies, Cologne, Germany) following the manufacturer’s protocol and purity controlled by flow cytometry. Humanized NSG (huNSG) mice were generated by engraftment of 100,000 hCD34+ cells (of a donor mix) at the age of 6 – 8 weeks, similar to the procedures described in earlier publications (15 (link)–18 (link)). Briefly, mice received whole-body irradiation with a sub-lethal dose of 2 Gy and hematopoietic stem cells were administered intravenously 2 hours later. For the generation of murinized NSG mice (muNSG), mice were treated as the huNSG mice, but received 100,000 bone marrow cells from a Balb/c donor instead of human CD34+ cells. The peripheral blood of huNSG mice was analyzed for the presence and frequency of murine CD45+, as well as human CD45+, CD3+ and CD20+ cells at week 18 post engraftment by flow cytometry.

Male mice weighting c.a. 22 g (BALB/cJRj, 9 weeks, Janvier; see below for number of animals) were used. The animals were maintained and handled in accordance with the Guidelines for Accommodation and Care of Animals (European Convention for the Protection of Vertebrate Animals Used for Experimental and Other Scientific Purposes) and internal guidelines. All experimental procedures were approved by the Ethical Committee of CIC biomaGUNE and by local authorities (Diputación Foral de Guipúzcoa) before conducting experimental work.

BALB/cJRj and C57Bl/6 mice were from Janvier. Transgenic C57Bl/6 FOXP3-GFP mice that express green fluorescent protein (GFP) in FOXP3+ cells were kindly provided by Dr. Malissen of the Centre d’immunologie de Marseille Luminy (France). CD3 KO mice were from CDTA of Orléans (France). Animals were maintained in our animal facility under specific pathogen-free conditions in agreement with current European legislation on animal care, housing, and scientific experimentation. All procedures were approved by the Regional Ethics Committee on Animal Experimentation No. 5 of the Ile-de-France region (Ce5/2012/031).

DNA Immunization in Murine Models

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All animal experiments performed during this study were approved by an external ethics committee authorized by the North Rhine-Westphalia Ministry for Environment and Nature Protection, Agriculture and Consumer Protection with the project licenses (AZ 84-02.04.2015.A082, approved at 28.07.2015). Six- to eight-week old BALB/cJRj and C57BL/6J mice were purchased from Janvier Laboratories (Le Genest-Saint-Isle, France) while Myd88/Trif−/− mice were provided by C. Kirschning [34 (link)]. Card9−/− mice were generated by Jürgen Ruland and backcrossed at the TiHo Hannover [35 (link)]. All mice were housed in individually ventilated cages in accordance to the national law and institutional guidelines at the animal facility of the Faculty of Medicine, Ruhr-University Bochum. DNA immunizations were performed as described previously [13 (link)]. Briefly, animals were anesthetized with ketamine/xylazine and received 15 µg of plasmid DNA in 30 µL of PBS in each hind leg followed by local application of an electric pulse (TriGrid; Ichor Medical, San Diego, CA, USA). A boost immunization following the same schedule was performed four weeks after the priming.

BALB/cJRj and BALB/cAnNRj-Foxn1nu/nu were purchased from Janvier labs (Roubaix, FR). NOD.Cg-PrkdcscidIl2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ mice were originally obtained from the Jackson Laboratory and provided by Christian Münz (University of Zurich, Switzerland). Mice were kept under specific pathogen-free conditions in individually ventilated cages at the Laboratory Animal Services Center at the University of Zurich. Mice had access to food and water ad libitum and were maintained on a 12-h light/dark cycle with environmental enrichment. All experiments were performed with 8–14-weeks-old female mice in accordance with the Swiss federal and cantonal regulations on animal protection and were approved by The Cantonal Veterinary Office Zurich (156/2018).

Validating Pathogen-Free Ticks for Mice Studies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Six- to 8-week-old specific-pathogen-free (SPF) female C57BL/6JRj, BALB/cJRj, and C3H/HeNRj mice (Janvier, France) were used for the experiments. The trichostrongyloid nematode H. polygyrus was maintained by serial passage in C57BL/6 mice. Specific-pathogen-free larval I. ricinus ticks were obtained from batches of eggs from two adult females after they had fed on laboratory beagle dogs (license number H0078/10, Landesamt für Gesundheit und Soziales, Berlin, Germany). The absence of tick-borne pathogens in the tick larvae used for experimentation was surveyed by published PCRs (33 (link), 34 (link)) for the detection of a 153-bp fragment of the hbb gene of Borrelia burgdorferisensu lato, a 203-bp fragment of the gltA gene of spotted fever Rickettsia spp., a 602- to 639-bp fragment of the 18S rRNA gene of piroplasmida (33 (link)), and a 257-bp fragment of the 16S rRNA gene of the Anaplasmataceae (34 (link)) in DNA isolated (33 (link)) from subsets of 20 larvae randomly chosen from each tick batch. Borrelia afzelii-infected I. ricinus nymphs were derived from larvae that had engorged on experimentally infected mice (license number 23-2347-A-24-1-2010, Landesamt für Umwelt, Gesundheit, und Verbraucherschutz, Potsdam, Germany).

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.
