CCh, BaCl2, CTX, PGE2, ATP, acetazolamide and primaquine (Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany) were dissolved in water. Forskolin and bumetanide (Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany) were dissolved in ethyl alcohol, whilst Gly-H 101 (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) and nocodazole (Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany) were dissolved in DMSO. The Krebs buffer had the following composition in millimoles: NaCl 115.8, CaCl2 1.3, KCl 3.6, KH2PO4 1.4, NaHCO3 23.1 and MgSO4 1.2 (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). The Krebs-mannitol buffer also contained Na-pyruvate (5.7 mM) (Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany), Na-L-glutamate (5.1 mM) (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) and D-mannitol (10 mM) (Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany) and the Kreb-glucose buffer contained Na-pyruvate (5.7 mM), Na-L-glutamate (5.1 mM) and D-glucose (10 mM) (Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany). In the chloride-free experiments, NaCl, KCl and CaCl2 were replaced with equimolar concentrations of Na-gluconate and K-gluconate and twice the concentration of Ca-gluconate (Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany) to compensate for the chelation of calcium by gluconate. pH was set to 7.4 using acetic acid. In the bicarbonate-free experiments, NaHCO3 was replaced with equimolar concentration of NaH2PO4 (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany), the solution was gassed with 100 % O2 and the carbonic anhydrase was inhibited by acetazolamide (1 mM).

Modeling Fat Embolism Pathogenesis in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
One hundred twenty C57BL/6J male mice weighing 22–24 g were purchased from Shanghai SLAC Laboratory Animal Co. Ltd. and used in the present study. Ninety-six mice were randomly divided into control and fat embolism groups 1–5 (n = 16 per group). Injectable fat was gathered from perinephric fat from allogeneic mice and homogenized to rupture the cell membrane, then centrifuged. Mice in the fat embolism groups were intravenously injected with 2 μL/g fat. Lung tissue was obtained 4, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h after fat injection. Sixteen mice were intravenously injected with the same volume of sterile saline as the control group. Pentobarbital at a dosage of 70 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected as anesthesia. For protein function experiments, the AQP1 inhibitor bumetanide (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) was dissolved in a NaOH liquor at a concentration of 2.25 g/L and intraperitoneally injected at a dose of 0.1 mg/g before fat injection, another AQP1 inhibitor Acetazolamide (Sigma) was intragastrically administered at a volume of 0.1 mL per mice (40 mg·kg−1·d−1), according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Inhibition of Carbonic Anhydrase IX Activity

Example 6

Anti-CA IX scFvs that are epitope mapped to the CA domain are able to block enzymatic activity. This is an important anti-tumor biological property of the antibodies that is distinct from their retargeting capacity. To evaluate the ability of anti-CA IX scFvs to block carbonic anhydrase activity, an assay is established to measure carbonic anhydrase activity of the CA IX paramagnetic proteoliposomes using established methods (Brion, 1988; Dodgson, 1991). In brief, the velocity of the reaction CO2+H2O ↔H2CO3 is measured by the time required for acidification of carbonate buffer in CO2 atmosphere, detected with phenol read as a pH indicator (Zavada, 1997). The reaction proceeds even in absence of the enzyme, with to=control time (this is set at 60 sec). Carbonic anhydrase reduces the time of acidification to t; one unit of the enzyme activity reduces the time to one half of control time: t/to=1. The CA IX paramagnetic proteoliposomes will be washed in PBS, resuspended in 1 mM carbonic buffer, pH 8.0. Acetazolamide (Sigma) serves as a positive control for inhibition of CA activity. Thus it is demonstrated that a purified anti-CA IX scFvs, in a dose dependent manner, blocks the CA activity of the proteoliposomes.

THIP, ganaxolone, THDOC and clonidine hydrochloride were purchased from Tocris (Ellisville, MO). DIOA and Acetazolamide (ACT) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). Midazolam was purchased from USP (Rockville, MD). L-838417 was a kind gift from Johnson and Johnson Pharmaceuticals. Stock solutions of clonidine, and midazolam were made in distilled H2O. DIOA, THIP, THDOC and ganaxolone were made in 100% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). DIOA was diluted in Ringer's solution (145mM NaCl, 5mM KCl, 1mM MgCl2, 0.4mM Na2HPO4, 25mM NaHCO3 and 5mM glucose) containing 10% DMSO. L-838417 was made in 20% β-cyclodextrin with 10% DMSO. ACT was made in Ringer's solution with a starting pH of 8.2 for ACT solubility. The pH was adjusted to 7.8 prior to use. All other drugs were diluted to final doses in Ringer's solution for injection. Final concentrations of DMSO in solutions used for intrathecal injection in all tests were 10%. In experiments where β-cyclodextrin was used in the solvent, the final concentration of β-cyclodextrin was held constant across all experimental conditions (e.g. in vehicle controls). Intrathecal injection of 10% DMSO vehicle showed no behavioral effect in previous experiments [3 (link)].
