The specific surface antigens of hTMSCs were characterized by flow cytometry analysis. The cells were incubated into a test tube (BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ) at a density of 1×105 cells/ml, then washed three times with wash buffer (PBS and 3% FBS). The cells were incubated with primary antibody for 40 min with saturating concentrations of monoclonal antibodies CD14 (all anti-human CD from BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA), CD19, CD29, CD34, CD73, CD90, HLA-DR, TLR2 (all anti-human TLR from Abcam, Cambridge, ab9100), TLR3 (ab12085), TLR4 (ab30667), and TLR5 (ab13875). After the cells were washed three times in buffer and centrifuged at 1200 rpm for five minutes, they were resuspended in ice cold PBS and incubated with the secondary antibody for 30 min in the dark at 40°C. Cell fluorescence was evaluated by flow cytometry in a FACS Caliber instrument (BD) and the data were analyzed using Cell Quest software (BD).

Total proteins were harvested from the lung tissue. Equal amounts of proteins (50 µg/lane) were separated by 10% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and the proteins were transferred electrophoretically onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). The membranes were then incubated with primary antibodies. The primary antibodies and their concentrations were as follows: anti-TLR4 (1:1,000 dilution; ab30667), anti-caspase-3 (1:1,000 dilution; ab52293) and anti-β-actin (1:5,000 dilution; ab8226) (all from Abcam).

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.
