Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All ELISA kits were based on the sandwich ELISA method. TCs were washed with PBS when reached 70–80% confluence and covered with serum-free media for 24 h. Cell culture supernatants were harvested, centrifuged to avoid cell debris in the sample, transferred to liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80 °C. Thawed samples were analyzed to quantify chemokine secretion using ELISA kits from R&D Systems (CCL2, CCL5, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL10, CXCL17) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. To examine chemokine secretion from TCs after STAT inhibition, fludarabine or nifuroxazide (Sigma) were added to serum-free media at 50 µM (24 h) [55 (link), 56 (link)]. As control, the serum-free media was supplemented with 0.1% DMSO.

Overnight cultures were grown in CphM plus 100µg ml−1 ampicillin in a shaker incubator at 37°C and rotated at 250 cycles per min. The next morning cultures were diluted to 1:60 in the same media and grown for 30 minutes before inducing expression with 1mM IPTG. After 1 hour of induction all cultures were adjusted to an OD600 of 0.1. The cultures were then diluted 1:3 into pre-warmed CphM plus 100µg ml−1 ampicillin plus the antibiotic being tested. Cultures were loaded in 96 well plates (180µl/ well) in 7 replicates; plates were sealed with a breathable film for 96 well plates to avoid evaporation, wrapped in foil and incubated at 37°C for 16 hours without shaking. The OD600 of the cultures was measured using a Multiskan Ascent (Thermo Scientific Inc., Waltham, MA, USA). The antibiotics were diluted to their final concentration from the following stock solutions: viomycin sulfate, (USP, Rockville MD) 5mM in H2O; nifuroxazide (Sigma, St Louis, MO) 5mM in DMSO; dihydrostreptomycin (Sigma, St Louis, MO) and spectinomycin (Sigma, St Louis, MO) 50mM in H2O.

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.
