Orthotopic injection was performed between the second and third mammary gland of adult female mice (age range 8-12 weeks) with either 1x106 LM2, 1x106 BR16 or 0.25x106 4T1 cells, expressing the fluorescent construct GFP/Luc or mCherry/Luc. Cells were inoculated in 50% Cultrex Path Clear Reduced Growth Factor Basement Membrane Extract (R&D Biosystems, 3533-010-02) and 50% PBS. In mice injected with cells carrying a dox-inducible construct, water containing 0.5 mg/ml Dox (Sigma, D9891-25G) and 5% sucrose (Sigma, S9378) was administered 3 times a week upon tumor formation and for a maximum of 3 months. Injection of 0.02 mg in PBS of recombinant mEphrin-B2-hFC chimera or ChromPure IgG hFC fragment was performed intra-peritoneal (i.p.) and with a frequency of twice per week. Injection of 25 mg/Kg Bevacizumab in PBS (Genentech, Avastin®) or 26.25 mg/Kg Paclitaxel in PBS (Bristol-Myers Squibb, Taxol®) or Ultra-LEAF purified human IgG1 Isotype control (Biolegend, 403502) was performed i.p. and with a frequency of twice per week. Injection of 15 mg/Kg Paclitaxel in PBS (Bristol-Myers Squibb, Taxol®) was performed i.p. once a week. Bevacizumab and Paclitaxel were obtained from the Pharmacy of the University Hospital Basel, under permit #RL0004-V07-B02.

Recombinant Protein Binding Assay

For recombinant proteins an ELISA-based binding assay was implemented measuring the interactions of hVISTA-Fc fusion protein with plate-bound human receptor proteins at pH 6.0 and pH 7.4. hVSIG-3-Fc (Acro Biosystems VS3-H5258), hVSIG-8-Fc (9200-VS), hPSGL-1-Fc (3345-PS), hSyndecan-2 (2965-SD) and hLRIG-1 (8504-LR; all R&D Systems) were coated in ELISA plates (Corning) at 5 μg/ml. Plates were blocked in 1% NFDM in PBS at pH 6.0 or 2% BSA in PBS at pH 7.4. For binding assays, C-terminal biotinylated hVISTA-Fc (R&D Systems AVI7126-050) was serially diluted in 1% NFDM in PBS at pH 6.0 or 2% BSA in PBS at pH 7.4 before being added to blocked plates. For the competition assay, SNS-101 or isotype control (Ultra-LEAF Purified Human IgG1 Isotype Control, BioLegend 403501) were serially diluted in 1% NFDM in PBS at pH 6.0 and pre-incubated with 1 μg/ml biotinylated hVISTA-Fc at pH 6.0 for 2 h at room temperature. After washing in PBS containing 0.05% Tween 20 at pH 6.0 or pH 7.4, HRP-labeled streptavidin (Thermo Fisher Scientific 21134) diluted 1:200 in PBS-NFDM at pH 6.0 or PBS-BSA at pH 7.4 was used as detection reagent.

Modulation of IL-6 and M-CSF Signaling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Stattic (BioTechne, 2789) and Tofacitinib (Selleckchem, S2789) were dissolved in DMSO. To inhibit IL-6 signaling, cells were pre-incubated with 1 μM Stattic or Tofacitinib for 1 h at 37°C and 5% CO2. After pre-incubation, 25 ng/mL human IL-6 (Miltenyi), 25 ng/mL human M-CSF (PeproTech), or BLM-CM (final concentration 50%) was added to the cells where indicated. After a 48 h culture period, cells were harvested and analyzed by flow cytometry. Sunitinib (Sutent, Pfizer) was suspended in DMSO to obtain a 1.43 mM stock solution. To inhibit IL6R and CSF1R signaling, cells were pre-incubated with 10 μg/mL tocilizumab (RoActemra, Roche) and/or 100 nM Sunitinib, or 10 μg/mL Ultra-LEAF Purified anti-human M-CSF antibody (Clone A16067H, Biolegend) for 20 min at 37°C and 5% CO2. Control samples were incubated with 10 μg/mL mouse IgG2b Isotype control or 10 μg/mL Ultra-LEAF Purified Human IgG1 Isotype control (Clone QA16A12, Biolegend) and/or DMSO as vehicle control. After pre-incubation, 1 ng/mL human IL-6 (Miltenyi), 10 ng/mL human M-CSF (PeproTech), or 50% BLM-CM was added to the cells where indicated. After a 48 h culture period, cells were harvested and divided for phenotype analysis by flow cytometry or re-seeded for allogeneic T cell proliferation assays.

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.
