The 0.1 × 106 polyclonal T cells were incubated in 100 μl Accell medium containing 2 mM GlutaMAX-1, supplemented with 10 ng/ml IL-7 with 10 nM or 100 nM plasmin or plasminogen for 2 h.
Following incubation, the cells were washed with warm AIM-V medium three times before being centrifuged, and the supernatant was removed. The cell pellet was directly lysed in 62.5 μM Tris–HCl pH 6.8, 2% SDS, 10% glycerol, 5% β-mercaptoethanol, and 0.002% bromophenol blue at 95 °C for 5 min. Protein samples were fractionated on 12% SDS-PAGE gel and analyzed by Western blotting using antiplasminogen (Invitrogen) and anti-b-actin (A00702-100, GenScript) antibodies. Western blots were visualized using 680RD donkey antimouse (Li-Cor Biosciences) and 800 CW donkey anti-rabbit secondary antibodies (Li-Cor Biosciences) and an Odyssey CLx (Li-Cor Biosciences) dual-color imaging system. Quantitation of plasmin(ogen) binding was done using Image Studio v3.1 (Li-Cor Biosciences).

Quantitative Fluorescence Imaging of Tumors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Imaging data was randomized and regions of interest (ROIs) were drawn in a blinded fashion. ROIs were drawn around core tumor area and tumor margins for tissue slices in Image Studio v. 3.1 (LI-COR) according to H&E validation of tumor location (Fig. 1). To compare average standard deviation of mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) for each agent, large ROIs were drawn (Fig. 1B). To compare average TBRs for Fig. 4, smaller ROIs (n = 3 for each variable in Eqns. 1-3), were drawn (Fig. 1B). To compare between groups, shown in Fig. 5, ROIs shown in Fig. 1A were drawn.
Proximal background fluorescence measurements were taken close to the tumor margin. Distal background fluorescence measurements were taken at the edge of the brain as far away from the tumor as possible. All fluorescence signal is reported in arbitrary units (a.u). H&E stains were used to determine true tumor.

For the Qm1 purification from SHuffle® T7 Express E. coli, the cells were resuspended in PBS buffer and lysed by a mechanical disruption in an EmulsiFlex C-5 High-pressure homogenizer from Avestin (Ottawa, ON, Canada) and centrifuged at 17,500× g for 10 min at 4 °C to separate the pellet of the soluble fraction. The soluble fraction was loaded onto a Ni2+ charged column IMAC SepharoseTM 6 Fast Flow, connected to an ÄKTA prime plus system, both from GE Healthcare (Chicago, IL, USA). The column was equilibrated with five column volumes (CVs) of PBS buffer, then the sample was loaded and the flow-through was collected for analysis. The elution was made using Imidazole in PBS buffer at increasing concentrations: 25, 50, 150, and 400 mM (Supplementary Material, Figure S3). The purified Qm1 protein was quantified by SDS-PAGE by densitometry using bovine serum albumin as an external standard. The images were captured and processed using the LI-COR Odyssey imaging system program Image Studio v 3.1 (LI-COR, USA).

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.
