Exogenous atp

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in Canada

Exogenous ATP is a laboratory reagent that provides an external source of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is a fundamental energy-carrying molecule found in all living cells and is essential for various cellular processes. Exogenous ATP can be used as a supplement or additive in experimental setups to study ATP-dependent mechanisms or to stimulate cellular responses in vitro.

5 protocols using exogenous atp

1

CD4+ T Cell Activation by HNSCC Exosomes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Exosomes of HNSCC patients were co-incubated with healthy human CD4(+) T cells (105/100 µL) in the presence of 20 μM of exogenous ATP (Sigma Life Science). Exosome samples used were derived from the total, CD45(+), or CD45(−) fraction. The CD4(+) T cells were isolated using a CD4+ T cell isolation kit (17952, Stemcell Technologies) according to manufacturer’s instruction. Control samples incubated with no exosomes (PBS only) and without ATP were used.
After 20h of incubation, percentages of CD4+CD39+ T cells were determined by flow cytometry using anti-CD4-FITC Ab (11-0049-42, eBioscience) and anti-CD39-PECy7 Ab (25-0399-42, eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA). The protocol was previously described in detail [8 (link),20 (link),31 (link)].

ATP-Induced Luminescence in B Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CD19+ B cells (3 × 104 per well, viable cells counted in a trypan blue dye) obtained from NC, after seven days of chemotherapeutic treatment, were incubated with 20 µM exogenous ATP (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) in 96-well plates for 90 min. The concentration of nonhydrolyzed ATP was determined by measuring the frequency of luminescent events in a luciferase-based detection system (ATPlite Luminescence Assay System, PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA) using a luminescence reader (Infinite® 200 Pro, Tecan, Maennedorf, Switzerland). Control samples included wells with ‘no cells’ or ‘no ATP’.

PXR Agonist Activation of Macrophages

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For experiments in mouse macrophages, the rodent selective PXR agonist pregnenolone 16α-carbonitrile (PCN; Sigma-Aldrich Canada, Oakville, Ontario, Canada) was prepared, as described above. For experiments in human macrophages, the human-selective PXR agonists rifaximin and SR12813 (Sigma-Aldrich Canada) were dissolved in sterile dimethylsulfoxide and added to culture media to attain the final experimental concentrations. As a vehicle control, identical volumes of dimethylsulfoxide were added and did not exceed a concentration of 1% v/v in media. The addition of exogenous ATP (5 mM; Sigma-Aldrich Canada) was used as a positive control in all experiments assessing inflammasome activation, as we have done previously (Ng et al., 2010 (link); Hirota et al., 2011 (link)).

Measuring ATP Hydrolysis in T Cell Subsets

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sorted CD39+ Tconv, CD39 Tconv and Treg cells from B16F10-OVA tumor-bearing Foxp3-EGFP mice were incubated with 5 µM of exogenous ATP (Sigma-Aldrich) as previously described.19 (link) Cell-free medium was then analyzed for residual ATP with ATP bioluminescent assay kit (INVITROGEN). Bioluminescent activity was measured with a Synergy HTX Multi-Mode Reader.

CD39 Activity Evaluation in T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For CD39 activity evaluation, 5x10 4 sorted cells were cultured for 10 min in phenol red-free RPMI-1640 with 20 µM of exogenous ATP (SIGMA). Cell-free medium with ATP alone was used as control.
For ATP hydrolysis inhibition cells were incubated for 16 h in presence or absence of 250 µM ARL67156 and ATP was added in the last 10 min. Cell-free medium was then analyzed for remaining eATP with ENLITEN rLuciferase/Luciferin reagent (Promega). Bioluminescent activity was measured with a Synergy HTX Multi-Mode Reader (BioTek). The percentage of ATP hydrolysis was calculated as previously described (18) . Spleen CD8 + T cells were magnetically purified from tumor-free mice.

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.
