NK Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NK cells were treated with 20mM of PCI-34051 for 1 hour prior to cytokine stimulation. Cells were washed and resuspended in RPMI with 20% FBS, followed by co-culture with 5000 K562 cells or Jeko-1 cells at 1:10 effector to target ratios and cytolytic function assessed at 4 hour post co-culture. For antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) experiments, Jeko-1 cells were pretreated with 10μg of Rituximab for 1 hour (#A1049, BioVision), washed twice to remove excess Rituximab, and co-cultured with stimulated NK cells for 4 hours. Cr-51 labeling and release was measured as previously described [16 (link)].

Quantifying scFv Binding to CD20 on Raji Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In this experiment, the ability of selected scFv to bind to the native CD20 on Raji cells was measured. The Rituximab, a commercial anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, was used as a positive control. First, cells were detached using 0.25% Trypsin–EDTA and counted using Hemocytometer. Then, for each antibody staining, 1 × 106 cells were washed twice with 1% PBS-BSA. All the antibody staining were performed for 1 h at RT in darkness. Cells were washed twice after each antibody staining. Next, cells were stained with 100 nM either Rituximab (Kindly provided by Tehran University Hospital) or scFv. Afterward, the secondary antibody was added to each tube, anti-Human (Abcam, USA) and anti-his tag (Abcam, USA) FITC conjugated for Rituximab and scFv stained samples, respectively. Next, one sample of each cell line was stained with Isotype as a negative control. Finally, the cells were analyzed by FACS-Calibur flow cytometer and CellQuest software (Becton Dickinson, San Jose, CA, USA).

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.
