Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) experiments were performed on a BD FACSAria III flow cytometer. Mock-infected monocytes were used to define the negative gate. For monocytes infected with AF488-DENV2, h3H5-opsonized AF488-DENV2, or polyclonal serum-opsonized AF488-DENV2, a positive gate was used to define the infected cell population, and only a subset of cells within a restricted range of mean fluorescence intensity was sorted for further analysis. A minimum of 5,000 cells were sorted directly into RNeasy RLT lysis buffer (Qiagen) and stored at −80°C.

The multicenter RA/SLE (systemic lupus erythematosus) Network of the AMP consortium enrolled individuals meeting the ACR 2010 RA classification according to protocols approved by the IRB at each site (22 (link), 47 (link)). Synovial tissues were collected from ultrasound-guided biopsies or joint replacement surgery and viably frozen in CryoStor CS10 cryopreservation media (Sigma-Aldrich). At a central processing site, tissues were dissociated and cells were FACS (fluorescence-activated cell sorting)–sorted (BD FACSAria Fusion) into fibroblast, macrophage, B cell, and T cell populations. Macrophages were sorted on the basis of CD14+CD45+ cell surface expression. For bulk RNA-seq on CD14+ synovial cell populations, ~1000 cells were sorted directly into RNeasy RLT lysis buffer (Qiagen). For CD14+ synovial scRNA-seq, ~100 live cells per patient were individually plated and lysed in 384-well plates.

Dechorionated Ciona embryos were developed until the appropriate stage. For each sample several hundred embryos were lysed in 330 µL RNeasy RLT lysis buffer (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Total RNA was isolated from the lysate using RNeasy mini columns according to the manufacturer’s instructions for animal tissue and eluted in 50 µL RNase free water. cDNA synthesis was performed on 2.5 µg total RNA per sample in a 20 µL reaction using the SuperScript IV reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and 2.5 µM random hexamers. The reaction conditions were: 23°C for 10 minutes, 50°C for 20 minutes, 80°C for 10 minutes. cDNA samples were then stored at −20°C until processing. qPCR was performed in 25 µl reactions containing 0.5 µl cDNA, 5 pmol of each oligonucleotide primer and 12.5 µL of Power SYBR Green PCR Master Mix (Life Technologies, Warrington, UK). qPCR reactions were performed in a ViiA 7 qPCR instrument (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) in a 96-well plate. The reaction conditions were: 95°C for 10 minutes followed by 40 cycles of 95°C for 15 seconds, 60°C for 1 minute. Expression levels were determined by comparing the cT of each sample with the cT of the corresponding sample at the 1-cell stage normalized to the cT of Gapdh. All primers sets were validated by the presence of a single peak when a melt-curve analysis was performed.

A total of 500 µL of RNeasy lysis buffer RLT (Qiagen) and 0.02 M Dithiothreitol (DTT) (ThermoFisher) were added to the treated virus with or without PtCl4 by pipetting up and down. The lysed virus was transferred to a RNeasy column and extracted using the QIAcube supplemented with DNase I, as previously described by the manufacturer (Qiagen). The purified RNA was eluted in 50 µL of RNase-free water, and 40 units of RNasin Plus RNase Inhibitor (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) was added before its storage at −80 °C.

Example 11

For the determination of relative transcript levels in RT-qPCR RNA was isolated from 106 cultured human ovary adenocarcinoma (SK-OV3) cells, fixed in 1 ml of a fixative composition according to the invention (50% [v/v] Ethanol, 6% [w/v] acetic acid, 20% [v/v] Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, ad 100% with ddH2O, pH unadjusted). After 5, 10, 20 or 60 min RNA was isolated from the cells. As a reference for delta Ct value calculation, RNA was also isolated from a cell pellet of 106 cells directly lysed in RNeasy lysis buffer RLT (Qiagen) without incubation in the fixative composition.

One step quantitative RT-PCR assays were performed for amplicons within the mRNAs from p53, IL8, cFos, IL1β, Bactin and 18s genes. Ct values are shown as delta Cts. Delta Cts were calculated as Ct values obtain from RNA fixed for 5, 10, 20 or 60 min in the fixative composition according to the invention minus the Ct value obtained with RNA from directly lysed cells.

Delta-Ct values from RT-qPCR are shown in FIG. 11.

PBMCs were lysed with Qiagen RNeasy lysis buffer (RLT) following 24 h of stimulation and stored at −80°C until isolation. RNA was isolated using the Qiagen RNeasy kit, following the manufacturer’s instructions. A total of 200 ng RNA per sample was used for the preparation of RNA sequencing libraries using the KAPA RNA HyperPrep kit with RiboErase (human/mouse/rat [HMR]) (Kapa Biosystems). In short, oligonucleotide hybridization and rRNA depletion, rRNA depletion cleanup, DNase digestion, DNase digestion cleanup, and RNA elution were performed according to protocol. Fragmentation and priming were performed at 94°C for 6 min 30 s. First-strand synthesis, second-strand synthesis, and A-tailing were performed according to protocol. For adapter ligation, a 7-μM stock was used (NEXTflex DNA barcodes; Bioo Scientific). The first and second postligation cleanups were performed according to protocol. For library amplification, 6 cycles were used. Library amplification cleanup was performed using a 0.8× bead-based cleanup. The library size was determined using the high-sensitivity DNA bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies), the library concentration was measured using the DeNovix double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) high-sensitivity assay. Sequencing was performed using an Illumina NextSeq 500 instrument; 38-bp paired-end reads were generated.

Pinhead-sized blood cruor was homogenized (2 min at 30 Hz; TissueLyser II, Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) in 600 µL RNeasy Lysis Buffer (RLT) (Qiagen) plus 6 µL ß-mercaptoethanol together with one 5 mm steel bead. Viral RNA was then extracted using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen), according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
The organ samples (brain, heart, kidney, liver, spleen, lung, bursa cloacalis, and feather pulp) were also homogenized with one 5 mm steel bead. For RNA extraction, only 100 µL of the homogenized organs and the swab samples were used in the BioSprint 96 (Qiagen) with the NucleoMag VET Kit (Macherey-Nagel, Düren, Germany). All of the RNA extracts were examined with the specific WNV RT-qPCR assay targeting the 5′ untranslated region (5′ UTR) for the simultaneous detection of lineage 1 and 2 strains [34 (link)]. For the quantification of viral RNA copies in each sample, a calibration curve of synthetic WNV RNA was run in parallel using 6-fold serial dilutions [34 (link)]. Additionally, the native virus was diluted, extracted, and used to estimate the TCID50/mL.

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.
