Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
mAbs and pAbs against Shigella were produced and characterized as previously described ( 10 (link)
, 14 (link)
). After a booster immunization, spleen cells were collected from immunized BALB/c mice, and then fused with SP2/0 cells. The fused cells were maintained in Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI 1640) medium containing 20% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% hypoxanthine-aminopterin-thymidine (Sigma-Aldrich) ( 15 (link)
, 16 (link)
). Five days later, half of the medium was replaced with RPMI 1640 containing 20% FBS and 1% hypoxanthine-thymidine (Sigma-Aldrich). The hybridoma supernatants were examined via indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect Shigella-specific antibodies ( 14 (link)
, 17 (link)
).

Quantifying Mutation Frequency via HPRT Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mutation frequency was determined using hypoxanthine phosphorybosyl transferase (HPRT) assay (Johnson, 2012 (link)). Cells were grown in DMEM medium containing hypoxanthine–aminopterin–thymidine (HAT; Sigma-Aldrich) medium for 5 d to eliminate preexisting HPRT mutants. After HAT treatment, the cells were grown in DMEM containing hypoxanthine–thymidine (Sigma-Aldrich) supplement so that both the de novo nucleotide biosynthesis pathway and the salvage pathway were able to function. Cells were harvested and 5 × 105 cells were plated on 10 cm dishes containing DMEM. After 2 d, cells were irradiated with UV (50 or 75 μJ/cm2) and grown for 2 d. Cells were harvested and 106 cells were plated on 10 cm dishes containing DMEM and 6-thioguanine (6-TG) to select HPRT mutants; HPRT+ cells incorporate 6-TG into the DNA and die, and HPRT mutants do not incorporate 6-TG into their DNA and survive. Cells were grown for 4–6 wk with fresh DMEM + 6-TG replacing old medium every 3–4 d until visible colonies formed on the plates. Final plating for colony counting was carried out in two batches of three plates each.

Generation of Anti-EGFRvIII Monoclonal Antibodies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A series of anti-EGFRvIII mAbs were prepared by AbMax Biotechnology Co., Ltd, (Beijing, China). Briefly, three BALB/c mice were immunized subcutaneously three times with the above three peptides at 2-week intervals. The titer of antibodies against EGFRvIII in blood samples was determined by ELISAs using the three peptide-BSA conjugates or F98npEGFRvIII cells as the coating antigens. Next, mouse spleen cells were collected and fused with SP2/0 myeloma cells. The fused cells were cultured in 10% FBS/DMEM containing hypoxanthine-aminopterin-thymidine (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). Hybridoma colonies were maintained in 10% FBS/DMEM containing hypoxanthine-thymidine (Sigma). Hybridoma supernatants were repeatedly screened by ELISA. Finally, ascites were prepared by intraperitoneal injection of mice with 2 × 106 hybridoma cells. Ascites titers were also determined by ELISA. Furthermore, analysis of the mAb subtype was performed with standard procedures provided by the protocol of the SBA Clonotyping™ System/HRP (Southern Biotechnology Associates, Inc., Birmingham, UK). The mAb with highest titer was named 4G1.

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.
