Assessing Synergy of iCRT14 and Chemotherapies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CellTiter-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability assays (Promega, Madison, WI) were performed on patient samples and cell lines grown in the conditions described above. Cell lines were seeded in 96-well plates at a concentration of 0.4 million cells/mL and treated with iCRT14 (0-40 μM). A panel of chemotherapeutic agents used in the therapy of ALL was added concurrently at hour 0 for the concurrent assays (etoposide, prednisolone and doxorubicin) and after 48 hours of iCRT pretreatment for the pretreatment assays (etoposide, prednisolone, doxorubicin, cytarabine and 6TG). iCRT14 doses were added daily to the cells in the pretreatment assays. CellTiter-Glo reagent was added and luminescence was recorded using a Flexstation 3 Microplate Reader (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) and the SoftMax Pro Data Acquisition and Analysis Software (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) at hour 24 for the concurrent assays and hour 72 for the pretreatment assays. Drug combination effects were analyzed by the Calcusyn software (Biosoft, Cambridge, GB, UK) according to the combination index (CI) equation of Chou-Talalay (Chou 2010 (link)). This analysis describes the drug interaction as: CI >1.1 antagonistic, 0.9-1.1 additive, <0.9 synergistic. Patient samples were pretreated with iCRT14 for only 24 hours because of their known decreased viability.

Wnt Pathway Activation and Inhibition Assay

Reh cells were infected with the 7 TFP (7xTcf-FFluc//SV40-PuroR) reporter lentivirus to make a stable Wnt reporter cell line.(Fuerer and Nusse 2010 (link)) The cells were treated with 10 mM concentration of lithium chloride (LiCl) for 24 hours to induce Wnt activation, and then plated in a 96-well plate at a concentration of 0.3 million cells/mL. 20 μM of iCRT14 was added to the cells at the time of plating and the assay was performed 24 hours after addition of iCRT14. Presto Blue Cell Viability Reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) was used to normalize the data. Presto blue was added to each well and the fluorescence intensity in each well was measured after 1 hour of incubation, using a Flexstation 3 Microplate Reader (Molecular Devices) and the SoftMax Pro Data Acquisition and Analysis Software (Molecular Devices). Luciferase levels were measured using the Dual Glo Luciferase system (Promega, WI, USA). Results are reported as Relative Luciferase Units (RLU) and normalized to the Presto blue fluorescent signal.

Calcium Imaging Assay in 96-well Plates

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were grown in phenol red free DMEM/F-12 media with 15 mM HEPES and L-glutamine with 10% FBS and 400 μg/mL G418 (or antibiotic-antimycotic, 1X, for HEK293 control cells). Cells were re-plated into clear bottom black tissue culture-treated 96-well plates (Thermo Scientific) at a density to achieve a confluency of 90% or greater at time of assay. Cells were treated with FLIPR Calcium 6 Assay Kit (Molecular Devices) following manufacturer instructions. Per kit protocol, reagents were equilibrated to room temperature and loading buffer was made by fully dissolving component A into component B. Equal volume of loading buffer was then added directly to culture media (100 μL of buffer to 100 μL of culture media in each well). Plate was incubated at 37°C for 2 h. Measurement was performed on SpectraMax iD5 using SoftMax Pro Data Acquisition and Analysis Software (Molecular Devices).

Cell-free supernatants were collected and ELISA used to measure the amount of total antibody produced 15 (link). For IgE ELISA, briefly, plates were coated with rat anti-mouse IgE (clone B1E3) in borate buffered saline, blocked (PBS with 0.02% Tween20 and 2% FBS), detected with biotinylated rat anti-mouse IgE (clone R1E4) and streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase (Southern Biotech). Plates were developed with phosphate tablets (Millipore-Sigma, St. Louis, MO) dissolved in substrate buffer (0.1g MgCl2.6H20, 0.2 NaN3, 50mL diethanolamine, pH to 9.8 per 500mL). Absorbance was measured at 405nm-650nm. Samples were run in duplicate and compared to an 11pt standard curve of purified mouse IgE anti-DNP antibody. For total immunoglobulin levels, plates were coated with anti-mouse IgG or anti-mouse IgM (Southern Biotech, Birmingham, AL), and detected with alkaline phosphatase-conjugated anti-mouse IgM, IgG1, or IgG2a (Southern Biotech). All ELISAs were read using SoftMax Pro Data Acquisition and Analysis software (Molecular Devices, San Jose, CA) on a Molecular Devices Plate reader.

Stop solutions for TSH, T4, and T3 ELISA were added, and the absorbance was measured at 450 nm (SoftMax Pro Data Acquisition and Analysis Software, RRID: SCR_014240; Molecular Devices, San Jose, CA, USA). All measurements were performed in duplicates.

Adiponectin Receptor Quantification by ELISA

Mouse AdipoR1 specific antibody-coated, 96-well enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) plates and AdipoR2 specific antibody-coated, 96-well ELISA plates (Sanghai Sunred Biological Technology Co., Ltd., Shanghai, PRC) were used following the manufacturer's instructions. For the control and four stress-exposed groups of both mouse strains in our experiment, three protein samples were randomly selected from the six available samples. The total protein concentration loaded into each well was 20 μg/ml in a 40 μl volume. The final OD values were measured with the SpectraMax® Plus384 (Molecular Devices, LLC., Sunnyvale, CA, USA) absorbance microplate reader and sample protein concentration was calculated with the SoftMax® Pro Data Acquisition and Analysis Software (Molecular Devices, LLC., Sunnyvale, CA, USA).

FcγR-binding Activity of Polatuzumab Vedotin and Surrogates

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Fcγ receptor‐binding activities of polatuzumab vedotin, the unconjugated clinical antibody (the anti‐human CD79b mAb used for polatuzumab vedotin conjugation), the surrogate ADC, and the unconjugated surrogate antibody (the anti‐cynomolgus monkey CD79b mAb used for surrogate ADC conjugation) were measured by elisa using a panel of recombinant human Fcγ receptors (IA, IIA‐H131, IIA‐R131, IIB, IIIA‐F158, and IIIA‐V158) as previously described (Chung et al., 2012). For measuring binding to human FcγRII and FcγRIII, test antibodies were preincubated with anti‐human κ light chain F(ab′)2 to form a complex to increase binding avidity. Briefly, test antibodies were serially diluted and then added to plates coated with recombinant human FcγRs. Bound antibodies were detected using goat F(ab′)2–anti‐human, F(ab′)2–HRP, and tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). Dose–response binding curves were generated by plotting the mean absorbance values from duplicates of sample dilutions against the sample concentrations and fitted with a four‐parameter model using SoftMax Pro (Molecular Devices [SoftMax Pro Data Acquisition and Analysis Software, RRID:SCR_014240]). For comparison, the EC50 value of the reference molecule was set at 1, and the relative activity of each sample was calculated as follows:
Relative Activity=ReferenceEC50SampleEC50.

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.
