Human synovial fibroblasts (HSF) were obtained from ScienCell Research Laboratory (ScienCell, 4700; Clinisciences). The primary cultures of HSF were maintained in Minimum Essential Medium eagle (MEM eagle, PAN Biotech P0408500) supplemented with 10% of decomplemented fetal bovine serum (PAN Biotech, 3302 P290907) and completed with L-glutamine 2 mM (Biochrom AG, K0282), 100U/mL– 0.1 mg/mL penicillin- streptomycin (PAN Biotech, P0607100), 1 mM sodium pyruvate (PAN Biotech, P0443100) and 0.5 μg/mL fungizone (PAN Biotech, P0601001).
The double-stranded polyribonucleotide PIC (cat. no.27-4732-01) was purchased from Amersham Biosciences. Interleukin-1β (IL-1β; cat. no. 200-01B), Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα; cat. no. 300-01A) and Interferon β (IFNβ; cat. no. 300-02BC) were purchased from Peprotech.
A clinical isolate (clone CHIKV 4.2) amplified from a CHIKV-infected serum sample (isolated during the 2006 epidemic) was used after two passages on Vero cells [8 (link)].

Heparin (no. 2106), heparan sulfate from bovine kidney (no. H7640), chondroitin sulfate A (no. C9819), and chondroitin sulfate B (no. C3788) were obtained from MilliporeSigma. Heparan sulfate from porcine mucosa (no. AMS.GAG-HS01) and keratan sulfate (no. AMS.CSR-NAKPS2-SHC-1) were purchased from AMSBIO. We assumed an average molecular weight of 30 kDa for heparan sulfate from porcine mucosa and 15 kDa for heparin (37 ).

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.
