Total, cytoplasmic and nuclear extracts were prepared as previously described [13 (link), 28 (link), 29 (link)]. For immunoprecipitation (IP) experiments, nuclear extracts were resuspended in dilution buffer (50 mM TRIS pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 10 mM NaF, 0.5% NP40, protease and phosphatase inhibitors). Dynabeads magnetic beads (Thermo Fisher Scientific) were incubated for 1 h at room temperature on a rotating wheel with the indicated antibodies. Nuclear extracts were then added to the beads and the incubation was continued for 2 additional hours. Immuno-complexes were purified by using a magnet (DynaMag-2, Thermo Fisher Scientific), the beads were washed five times with dilution buffer and eluted in 4X lithium dodecyl sulphate (LDS) sample buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for WB analysis. Detailed information for all antibodies is provided in Supplementary Table S1. Total RNA was isolated from cells using EuroGOLD TriFast reagent (Euroclone) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The amount of RNA was measured by using NanoDrop ND-1000 Spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

At first, capture using BST–DSN probes generated from PCR products was examined employing an on-bead hybridization capture procedure as described by Maricic et al. (5 (link)). Briefly, 800 ng of BST–DSN probes generated from a mix of 10 PCR products were denatured at 98°C for 2 min and immobilized on Dynabeads™ magnetic beads (Thermo Fisher Scientific) at room temperature for 15 min. Immobilized beads were then washed three times with 1× BWT (1 M of NaCl, 5 mM of Tris–Cl, pH8.0, 0.5 mM of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), pH8.0) and 0.05% of Tween-20 buffer and re-suspended with 500 ng denatured LMPCR products in 1× oligonucleotide buffer, following by incubation at 65°C for 16 h. After washing one time with BWT buffer and two times with 1× Phusion buffer, the captured DNA was released in 1× Phusion buffer by incubation at 95°C for 2 min. Target-specific capture was then validated by two-step PCR (Supplementary Figure S1).

T cells were positively enriched using LS columns and CD4/CD8 MicroBeads according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Miltenyi Biotec). Isolated T cells were cultured in serum-free or serum-containing media in the presence or absence of cytokines. Subsequently, T cells were stimulated with either Expamers or Dynabeads Magnetic Beads (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to in-house S.O.P. or manufacturer’s recommendations, respectively. Activated T cells were kept in culture for at least 7 days unless indicated otherwise.
For antigen-specific activation, Strep-tagged pMHCs were produced as described (Knabel et al., 2002). To generate pMHC/CD28 Expamers, Streptagged pMHC (HLA-A*02:01/pp65495-503) and anti-CD28 Fab fragment were added to the Strep-Tactin multimer backbone and complexed for 15 min at RT. Subsequently, pMHC/CD28 Expamers were added to PBMCs of an HLA-A*02:01+ CMV seropositive donor. Cells were checked before and after 8 days in vitro cell culture for the presence of HLA-A*02:01/pp65495-503 specific T cells by flow cytometry staining with fluorescently labeled pMHC multimer and anti-CD8 (PE; clone HIT8a) antibody.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Protein expression (Atg7, PLIN-1, p62, CETP, and LCAT) was analyzed using protein extracts (60–125 mg for immunoprecipitation) from liver homogenates that were isolated using Dynabeads Magnetic Beads (Thermo-Fisher Scientific, MA, USA), and visualized via sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), where bands were detected by chemiluminescent reaction. Signal density was quantified by densitometry using ImageJ software: Atg7, PLIN-1, p62/SQSTM-1, CETP, and LCAT were analyzed using immunoprecipitation, while LC3B and Beta-actin antibodies purchased from Cell Signaling Technology, CA were analyzed from Western blots (diluted 1:1,000, while 10 μg of antibody was used for IP).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For identification of CHMP2B lysine 6 methylation (K6) on endogenous CHMP2B protein, HeLa cells were lysed in lysis buffer (20 mM Tris HCl, pH 8, 150 mM NaCl, 0,4% to 1% NP40, 2 mM EDTA, protease inhibitors) and CHMP2B was immunoprecipitated (IP) with CHMP2B antibody and Dynabeads magnetic beads (Thermo Fisher Scientific). IP product was loaded on SDS PAGE gel and CHMP2B band was excised and in-gel digested by using chymotrypsine (Promega). For label Label Free Quantification (LFQ) analysis of CHMP2B lysine 6 (K6) methylation, HeLa cells were co-transfected with GFP CHMP2B and flag SMYD2 or flag SMYD2 Y240A (dead catalytic mutant). Twenty-four hours post transfection, HeLa cells were lysed in lysis buffer (20 mM Tris HCl, pH 8, 150 mM NaCl, 0.4% to 1% NP40, 2 mM EDTA, protease inhibitors) and GFP CHMP2B was IP with GFP antibody and Dynabeads magnetic beads. The IP product was loaded on SDS PAGE gel and the GFP CHMP2B band was excised and in-gel digested by using chymotrypsine. Peptide extracted from each band are vacuum concentrated to dryness and resuspended in loading buffer (0.3% TFA in miliQ water) before nanoLC-MS/MS analysis.

ChIP assays using mouse liver was performed as described previously (Nakagawa et al., 2016 (link); Takeuchi et al., 2016 (link)). Briefly, liver tissue samples from the fasted and re-fed mice were minced in PBS and cross-linked in 1.5% formaldehyde for 15 min at room temperature. Fixed samples were homogenized and then subjected to sonication for DNA fragmentation. After centrifugation, supernatant was diluted and then subjected to immunoprecipitation with anti-FoxO1 or with control IgG bound to Dynabeads magnetic beads (Thermofisher) and rotated overnight at 4°C. The complexes were washed and then incubated overnight at 65°C for reverse crosslinking. DNA-protein complex was treated with Proteinase K and chromatin DNA was purified with phenol-chloroform, eluted in TE buffer and subjected to Q-PCR analysis. The primer sets are listed in Table S3.

For co-IP, protein G Dynabeads magnetic beads (Thermo Fisher Scientific, 10004D) were washed twice and resuspended in their original volume with RIPA buffer diluted (1:1) in dilution buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT and protease inhibitor). Nuclear extracts for the IP were obtained, as described in the previous section. For preclearing, 15 µl of beads were added to nuclear extracts and incubated for 30 min at 4 °C with overhead rotation. Five percent of the precleared lysate was used as input control. To the rest of the precleared lysates, 5 μg of anti-SNF2H antibody was added and samples were left overnight at 4 °C with rotation. The following day, 25 µl of prewashed magnetic beads were added and samples were left for 1 h at 4 °C with rotation. After this time, beads were washed three times with 500 µl IP-wash buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1.5 mM MgCl 2 , 0.5% NP-40, 1 mM DTT and protease inhibitor). Beads were then transferred to a new tube and washed again twice before being resuspended in an appropriate volume of gel-loading buffer (1:1 mix of RIPA buffer and 5× Laemmli buffer with 5% β-mercaptoethanol) for SDS-PAGE and western blotting. The antibodies used for co-IP and western blotting are reported in Supplementary Table 6.

To detect MkExos with flow cytometry, isolated MkExos were first captured with Dynabeads magnetic beads (4.5 µm, Thermo Fisher) coated with anti-CD63 antibody at 4 °C overnight, following the manufacturing protocol in Exosome - Human CD63 Isolation/Detection kit (Invitrogen). MkMPs or bead-bound MkExos were then incubated with isotype IgG, FITC anti-CD63, or APC anti-CD81 antibodies for 15 min at room temperature before flow cytometry analysis. The latter two antibodies target the common surface antigens of endosomal origin expressed by human exosomes [26 (link)], and which are not expressed on MkMPs.

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.
