Biomarker Measurement from Serum Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Serum aliquots from peripheral venipuncture samples were frozen and stored at −80C until shipment on dry ice to the UW Pulmonary Research Laboratory in Seattle, WA. Samples were tested for endothelial activation, inflammation, and immune activation biomarkers. Notably, the biomarkers we measured are stable at room temperature for ≥24 hours and resistant to up to four freeze-thaw cycles,29 (link)–31 (link) and this testing constituted the first thaw for each aliquot used.
Serum concentrations of sTREM-1 and endothelin-1 were measured by ELISA (R&D Systems Duoset kits, Minneapolis, MN) according to manufacturer’s instructions using 50 μL of sample per well. Concentrations were interpolated from 4-parameter-fit standard curves. Serum concentrations of IL-6, CRP, SAA, sCD14, sCD163, sVCAM-1, sICAM-1, Ang-1, and Ang-2 were measured by Meso Scale Discovery assays (Meso Scale Diagnostics [MSD], Rockville, MD) according to manufacturer’s instructions. All assays except for sCD14 and sCD163 were standard MSD assays. The sCD14 and sCD163 assays were custom plates manufactured using a DuoSet kit from R&D. Samples were diluted to fit the dynamic ranges of the assays.

Culture supernatants were used to quantify cytokine expression according to manufacturers’ instructions for human TNF-α (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Affymetrix eBioscience, Waltham, MA, USA; Ready-Set-Go kit; sensitivity: 4–500 pg/mL), human CXCL10/IP-10 (R&D Systems, DuoSet kit; sensitivity: 31.2–2,000 pg/mL), and sIL-6Rα (R&D systems, DuoSet kit; sensitivity: 15.6–1,000 pg/mL). All supernatants were either undiluted or diluted 1:2 and 1:5 and were run on the same plate to ensure the readings were comparable. Absorbance was measured with the BioTek ELx800 Microplate Reader (Winooski, VT, USA) at 450 nm. Graphic data present the mean ± SEM, and n values for each experiment are indicated in figure legends.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
J774A.1 cells were seeded in 96-well plates at a concentration of 105 cells/well and incubated overnight. Cells were primed for 4 h with 1 μg/ml E. coli O111:B4 LPS and subsequently stimulated for 30 min with 3 mM ATP in 100 μl medium. Where indicated, cells were treated with 100 μM BAPTA-AM (Tocris, Minneapolis, MN, USA) for 15 min before ATP treatment. Supernatants were collected and released IL-1β was evaluated with ELISA using the R&D Systems DuoSet kit according to the manufacturer's protocol. Developed plates were read on a Biotek Synergy H4 mutli-mode plate reader with Gen5 software.

RAW 264.7 macrophage cells or BMDMs were plated at 2 × 105 cells per well in 24-well plates and then incubated with or without LPS (1 μg/mL) in the absence or presence of various concentrations of samples. Dilutions of the cell culture medium were assayed for PGE2, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β. PGE2 levels in cell culture medium were determined using a colorimetric competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit (Enzo Life Science, NY, USA) according to manufacturer's instructions. TNF-α and IL-6 levels in cell culture medium were quantified using mouse DuoSet kit (R&D Systems, MN, USA) according to manufacturer's instructions.

Quantifying Cytokine Levels in Pancreatic Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Equal numbers (1 × 106) of cells CD18/HPAF-scram (control), CD18/HPAF-shKRAS, HPNE, HPNE-KRAS, E6-E7-st, E6-E7-st-KRAS, E6-E7-st-KRAS-NSC, E6-E7-st KRAS-shCXCR2 and KRAS-PDAC cells were plated in 60 mm dishes in complete medium. After attachment of cells to the plate, the medium was changed to serum-free DMEM. Supernatants of cultured cells were collected at 24 hours or 72 hours. Protein was isolated from tumors by homogenizing in a bullet blender using Mammalian Protein Extraction Reagent (Pierce, Rockford, IL) as a lysis buffer. ELISA assays for hCXCL8 and hCXCL1 were performed as described previously [39 (link)]. hCXCL5, mCXCL2, mCXCL5 and mCXCL7 ELISAs were performed using a duoset kit (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) according to the manufacturer's protocol. All the experiments were performed in duplicates.

IL-10 Release from Degradable Hydrogel

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Composite hydrogels were formed with a high concentration of degradable microgels (50 μL bulk gel, n=3) and release buffer (1% bovine serum albumin in PBS) was added at 50 μL bulk gel/1 mL release buffer. Every other day, release buffer was collected via centrifugation at 1200 × g for 15 minutes, replaced, and stored at −20°C. After 2 weeks, composite hydrogels were fully degraded in hyaluronidase (1 mg/mL) and IL-10 release was quantified via ELISA (DuoSet kit, R&D Systems).

Levels of human basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), TGF-β1, interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and pro-collagen I and mouse levels of TGF-β1, IL-1β, IL-6, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were measured in the cell-free supernatants using a Duo-Set Kit (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MI, USA), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Results were expressed as pg/ml and determined using standard curves established for each assay.

Macrophage TNF-α Response to L. prolificans

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
J774 macrophages were plated in 24-wells plates (2.0 × 105 cells/ml/well) and after adhesion, stimulated in RPMI medium with addition of L. prolificans PRM (100 μg/ml) or LPS (O111:B4, 1 μg/ml). After stimulation for 1, 2 or 3 h, the supernatants were recovered for TNF-α determination by ELISA (R&D Systems’s DuoSet kit) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In order to rule out the possibility that the stimulating activity was due to contaminating lipopolysaccharides, polymyxin B (10 μg/ml) was added 5 min prior to the addition of the stimulus. After incubation, supernatants were harvested, centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 10 min to remove cell debris and immediately measured by ELISA.

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.
