PBMC (1 × 106/ml) were cultured in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% human serum, 2 mM l-glutamine, and 1% penicillin (Invitrogen Ltd, Paisley, UK) and incubated at 37 °C in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere for 2 h in a 12-well plate for monocyte adhesion. After 2 h, non-adhering PBMC were harvested and discarded and monocytes grown on plate were either culture in medium alone (unstimulated) or were or primed with 2 μg/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 2 h (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) before stimulation with 10 μg/ml of 1-42 amyloid-beta peptide (Aβ42) (Sigma-Aldrich) in the absence/presence of 10 ng/ml of Human Recombinant IL-33 (Biolegend, San Diego, CA, USA) for 24 h at 37 °C in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere. After 24 h, supernatants were collected and stored at − 20 °C; adhering cells (monocytes) were collected and prepared for FlowSight analysis.

Human ILC2 Adoptive Transfer for IRI

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human ILC2s isolated from donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium containing 100 U/ml penicillin–streptomycin, supplemented with 10% human AB serum, plus IL-2 (20 ng/ml), IL-7 (20 ng/ml), and IL-33 (50 ng/ml) for 14 days. Cell-free supernatants were assessed for IL-5 and IL-13 production by ELISA (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA). For ILC2 treatment, 5 × 106 human ILC2s were transferred into NSG mice by a single tail-vein injection 1 day before hepatic ischaemia. In parallel, 0.5 × 106 human ILC2s were transfused into NSG mice 5 days before IRI surgery, and then human recombinant IL-33 (0.4 μg/mouse; BioLegend) was administered i.p. daily for 5 consecutive days. NSG mice were humanely culled at Day 1 after IRI surgery. Serum ALT levels were measured using an ALT kit (Thermo Fisher) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Sensitization and Stimulation of Mast Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Protocols involving human tissues were approved by the human studies Internal Review Board at the University of South Carolina. Surgical skin samples were obtained from the Cooperative Human Tissue Network of the National Cancer Institute. Skin MCs were isolated and cultured as described previously (21 (link)) and were used after 6–12 weeks. Mast cell purity was determined to be 100% by toluidine blue staining. When applicable, human mast cells were sensitized 24 hour prior to the antigen (Ag) stimulation with the addition of 1 μg/ml DNP-specific mouse IgE (a gift from Dr. Daniel Conrad, VCU), washed to remove excess unbound IgE, and stimulated with 50 ng/ml DNP-HSA (Ag), for 16 hours. Where indicated, recombinant human TGFβ1 (10 ng/ml, BioLegend) was applied for 3 days prior to Ag stimulation and recombinant human IL-33 (100 ng/ml, BioLegend) was added at the same time as Ag. All supernatants were collected after 16 hours of stimulation. Each experimental condition was performed in triplicate determinations from 5 different donors.

L-(+)-lactic acid and Sodium L-lactate were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). Human IL-6, TNF, and MCP-1 ELISA kits were purchased from BD OptEIA (BD Biosciences; Franklin Lakes, NJ).

Quantification and Visualization of IL-33 Isoforms

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A Qubit Protein Assay Kit was used for protein extraction; total protein amount was measured using a Qubit 3.0 Fluorometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Equal amounts of protein (15 μg) from each sample, or 2 ng of artificial truncated IL-33 (amino acids 112–270, 20 kDa) (Recombinant Human IL33 carrier-free, Biolegend, San Diego, CA, USA) used as positive control to confirm that the bands correspond to IL-33 full length (amino acids 1–270, 34–30 kDa), to the cleaved inactive forms (amino acids 1–178, 22–20 kDa; amino acids 179–270, 13–12 kDa) [2 (link), 3 (link)] or, finally, to the cleaved active forms (amino acids 95–270, amino acids 99–270, and amino acids 109–270; 19–15 kDa) [4 (link)], were separated by 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF membranes (Genscript). A pre-stained marker, broad range 11–190 KDa (Cell signaling, Danvers, MA, USA), was also used, PVDF membrane were treated by ONE-HOUR Western detection kit (Genscript) and proteins were visualized using a Chromosensor TMB substrate (Genscript). After protein transfer, PVDF membranes were incubated with a pretreatment solution for 5 min RT and then with the WB solution and an α-human IL-33 Ab (Nessy-1) (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) for 40 min. After three washes, membranes were developed with a TMB substrate.

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.
