Murine Melanoma and Breast Cancer Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The murine melanoma B16F10 cell line was kindly provided by PR (Ludwig Center for Cancer Research, Department of Oncology—Faculty of Biology and Medicine University of Lausanne, Switzerland). The B16 mouse model was created in the 1970s from a melanoma that developed spontaneously in the ear of a female C57BL/6 mouse and was then passaged in vivo to create the B16F10 line (21 (link)). The murine breast cancer 4T1 cell line was grown in BALB/c mice and developed into a highly tumorigenic and invasive tumor that can spontaneously metastasize from a primary tumor in the mammary gland to multiple distant sites (22 (link)). The 4T1 mammary tumor cells were kindly provided by Dr Alexzander Asea (Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine, Temple, TX). Cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 (Eurobio, Toulouse, France) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Eurobio), 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 μg/ml streptomycin, 0.01 M HEPES buffer and 1 mM sodium pyruvate (Eurobio) and incubated in a humidified environment at 37°C and 5% CO2. Cells were grown until 75% confluency and passaged using trypsin/1X EDTA (Eurobio), washed with PBS and resuspended in supplemented RPMI-1640.

Lymphedema and Whole-Body Imaging Protocols

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For both models of lymphedema and whole-body imaging, filariae were injected subcutaneously. Before the injection, larvae were manually counted under a bench stereomicroscope while they were collected with a pipette and then breech-loaded into a U-100 insulin syringe. Despite prior silanization of syringes and needles, approximately 10–20% of larvae stuck to the syringe surface; therefore we manually counted these remaining larvae for the exact determination of inoculated larvae.
Mice with primary thigh lymphedema. 3–7-month old Chy3 mice with palpable lymphedema or their aphenotypic littermates were injected subcutaneously in the shank region of the rear paw with 40 infective L3 larvae in 100 μl of RPMI 1640.
Mice with secondary tail lymphedema. One month after the tail surgery, control mice, sham-operated, and mice with tail lymphedema (tail ⌀ at least double the size of sham-operated mice) were injected subcutaneously with 40 infective L3 larvae in 50 μl of RPMI 1640 (Eurobio, France) distal to the wound on the tail (two-thirds of the tail length measured from its base).
Whole-body imaging. Fifty VivoTag XL 680-stained filaria larvae in 200 μl of Hartmann’s solution were injected subcutaneously at the dorsolateral side of the lumbar region.

Freshly sorted ILC2s were directly seeded after the FACS-sorting in 200μL of RPMI-1640 (Eurobio) supplemented with 8% of human serum, 1% penicillin-streptomycin 10000U/mL (Gibco), 1% L-Glutamine (Gibco), 1% non-essential amino acids (Gibco), 1% Na Pyruvate (Gibco), kanamycin 100x (Gibco) and 0.1% of 2β-mercaptoethanol 5x10−2M (Sigma), supplemented with 100U/mL recombinant human (rh) IL-2 (PeprtoTech) and 5ng/mL rhIL-7 (PeproTech). When indicated, 3000 mouse stromal OP9 cells (kindly provided by Prof. H. Spits and Dr B. Blum Amsterdam UMC Research Institutes), 1µg/mL PHA (Sigma) or the cytokine cocktail composed of 50ng/mL rhIL-25 (PeproTech), 50ng/mL rhIL-33 (PeproTech) and 50ng/mL rhTSLP (PeproTech) were added. Cells were grown at 37°C under 5% CO2.

Mobilization and Isolation of CD34+ HSC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Example 29

After obtaining informed consent, healthy CD34+ stem cell donors receive rhG-CSF (Granocyte or Neupogen), 10 ug/kg/day s.c., for 5 days for peripheral blood stem cell mobilization and then undergo apheresis for 2 consecutive days to collect mobilized CD34+ HSC. Mononuclear cells (MNC) are isolated from mobilized peripheral blood by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation and are split in two parts. One part is used to purify CD34+ cells by using anti-CD34-coated magnetic beads (Miltenyi Biotec, Inc., Germany), relative to Miltenyi protocol. The purity of the CD34+ fractions is controlled. CD34+-enriched HSC are then used immediately in the two-step culture method or frozen until use in the one-step culture method.

Complete medium (CM) used is RPMI 1640 (Eurobio, France), supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine and 100 IU/ml penicillin-streptomycin (Gibco, Grand Island, N.Y., USA) and 10% heat-inactivated FBS (Gibco). IMDM (Gibco), supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated FBS, is used for expansion. Recombinant human stem cell factor (rhSCF), thrombopoietin (TPO), fetal liver tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (Flt-3L), GM-CSF, and TNF-alpha are purchased from R&D Systems (Minneapolis, Minn., USA).

PBMC were plated for 7 days at 106 cells per ml in 96-wells round-bottomed plates at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air in the presence of 10 IU ml−1 IL-2 (Eurocetus, Milano, Italy) and 1 μM ZA (kindly provided by Novartis Pharma, Origgio, Italy). The standard culture medium was RPMI 1640 (Eurobio, Les Ulis, France), containing 10% FCS (Mascia Brunelli, Milano, Italy), 2 mM L-glutamine (Eurobio, Les Ulis, France), 100 U ml−1 penicillin (Eurobio, Les Ulis, France) and 100 mg ml−1 streptomycin (Eurobio, Les Ulis, France)3 (link). Total counts of viable Vγ9Vδ2 T cells on day 7 were evaluated by multiplying total counts of viable cells per well, identified with the trypan blue staining assay, by the percentage of Vγ9Vδ2 T cells identified by flow cytometry46 (link).

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.
