FreeStyle 293F cells (Invitrogen) were grown in FreeStyle 293F medium (Invitrogen) to a density of 1 × 106 cells/mL at 37 °C with 8% CO2 with regular agitation (150 rpm). Cells were transfected with a plasmid coding for SARS-CoV-2 S RBD [32 (link)] using ExpiFectamine 293 transfection reagent, as directed by the manufacturer (Invitrogen). One week later, cells were pelleted and discarded. Supernatants were filtered using a 0.22 μm filter (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).

Confluent monolayers of RAW264.7 (~ 1x107 cells) were seeded overnight in Ti175 flasks and infected with Mtb or were left un-infected. Prior to infection, the bacteria were complement opsonized in DMEM media supplemented with 10% normal horse serum for 2hrs. A MOI of 5:1 was used to obtain about ~80% of the RAW264.7 cells infected as described [10 (link), 19 (link)]. RAW264.7 cells were infected for 4 hrs, washed 3x with PBS to remove extracellular free bacteria and then cultured in DMEM media with 10% EV-free FBS (overnight spin to deplete EVs in serum) for 72hrs. EVs were isolated from the culture supernatants of infected and uninfected RAW 264.7 cells by centrifugation at 3,000×g for 10 mins to remove cell debris followed by filtration twice through 0.22μm filter (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The supernatant was further centrifuged at 100,000×g for 1hr at 4°C. The pellets were washed once and resuspended in PBS.

Intravenous Methamphetamine Dosing Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The methamphetamine (Sigma-Aldrich) was dissolved in 0.9% physiological saline and sterile filtered through a 0.22μm filter (ThermoScientific). The drug reinforcer was administered in doses of 0.25, 0.5, or 1.0 mg/kg IV in a volume of 0.1 ml over a period of 4.3 s. The selected range of doses was chosen to mimic aspects of human use on a dose/body weight basis and to be comparable to those reported for locomotor activation in rats following IV administration of the drug (e.g., Rivière et al., 1999 (link); Segal and Kuczenski, 2006 ). The selection of doses that produce locomotor activation was based on the observation that the locomotor response to psychomotor stimulants, including methamphetamine, has been shown to be predictive of drug reward as measured by subsequent IV self-administration (e.g., Piazza et al., 1989 (link), 1990 (link); Vezina, 2004 (link); Gancarz et al., 2011 (link)).

Synthesis and Characterization of Silica Nanoparticles

Silica gel was prepared via a chemical neutralization reaction by mixing hydrochloric acid with a solution of reagent grade sodium silicate (SiO2 26.5%, Na2O 10.6%, and H2O 62.9%, Sigma Aldrich; Figure 1A and B). Silica gel of 6 g synthesized from the sodium silicate solution of 23 g according to the law of conservation of mass. After thorough washing with phosphate-buffered saline and sterilization, the gel was added to 100 mL of DMEM for 48 hours. The gel-containing medium was filtered through a 0.22 μm filter (Thermo, Waltham, MA, USA). Filtered DMEM have got silica NPs (silica NP medium). Silica MPs purchased from Ditto Technology (Anyang City, Korea) were suspended same concentration of silica NP medium in DMEM (silica MP medium). The particle concentration in each type of medium was measured using an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (Varian 710-ES, Varian, Melbourne, Australia). The size of the silica NPs was determined by transmission electron microscopy (JEM1010, JEOL Ltd, Tokyo, Japan). Basic fibroblast growth factor (Sigma-Aldrich) was used as a positive control.

The CM from transfected 293F cells were collected, centrifuged at 800g for 5 minutes, filtered with a 0.22 μm filter (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and stored at –80°C before processing. Affinity purification was performed using an Akta Pure fast protein liquid chromatography system (Cytiva, formerly GE Healthcare). The S-RBD-His product (S-RBD1) purification was performed using nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid resin, where samples were supplemented to a final concentration of 30 mM imidazole (MilliporeSigma) and 1× EDTA-free protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche) before loading onto a HisTrap FF 1 mL column (Cytiva, formerly GE Healthcare), equilibrated in wash buffer (PBS 300 mM NaCl, 40 mM imidazole, pH 8.0), and eluted with a linear gradient from 40 to 500 mM imidazole. Eluted fractions were pooled, concentrated with 3000 Da (MW cutoff) ultrafiltration membrane spin column (Amicon) per the manufacturer’s instructions, dialyzed into PBS, and stored at –80°C. The purified S-RBD1 was quantified using NanoDrop OneC (280 nm absorbance, Thermo Fisher Scientific), BCA assay (Thermo Fisher Scientific) relative to bovine serum albumin (BSA) standard, and/or Qubit 3 Fluorometer (Qubit Protein Assay, Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The reagents for the protein purifications are listed in Supplemental Table 1.

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.
