Tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cell transcriptome

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells were FACS sorted from E0771 tumor-bearing WT and S1pr1-Tg mice. RNA was extracted using column purification (Ambion RNAqueous Micro kit). cDNA was prepared using Bio-Rad cDNA synthesis kit (Bio-Rad). RT-PCR was performed using Bio-Rad SYBR Green Supermix (Bio-Rad). Primers were generated using SciTools (Integrated DNA Technologies) and PubMed blasted for gene and species specificity. Each primer set was validated using a standard curve across the dynamic range of interest with a single melting peak.

Quantifying PID1 mRNA Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Quantitative real-time PCR was performed using the Applied Biosystems 7900HT sequence detection system (Applied Biosystems) as described7 (link). PCR primers and probes were designed and synthesized using Primer Express software (Applied Biosystems) or SciTools (Integrated DNA Technologies). Primers and probes, PID1: forward primer: 5′-AGCCAGTCATTGAGCTCTGGAAGA-3′, reverse primer: 5′-TGGTCGAGATGATGGAGCCAAACT-3′, probe: 5′-TTTCCGGCCAATGCCCTCCTGGAAAT-3′; GAPDH: forward primer: 5′-CAACTACAT GGTTTACATGTTCCAATATG-3′, reverse primer: 5′-GGGATCTCGCTCCTGGAAG-3′, probe: 5′-CGTTCTCAGCCTTGACGGTGCCA-3′. TaqMan real-time PCR data were analyzed using ABI Sequence Detector Software. PID1 mRNA was normalized to GAPDH mRNA, which was quantified in parallel in each sample.

Codon-optimized Ppip5K for Yeast Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Codon-optimisation of D. discoideum Ppip5K sequences for yeast expression was designed through an interface from SciTools® (Integrated DNA Technology). Restriction sites were added at the 5′ SalI and 3’ NotI to cloned Ppip5K in a pADH-GST plasmid (Azevedo et al., 2015 (link)).

Caveolin-1 Knockdown Using siRNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Transfection was carried using Oligofectamine (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) transfection reagent. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) was designed against the coding sequence of Cav-1 cDNA using software by scitools (Integrated DNA Technologies, Coralville, IA). CAV-1 siRNA sequence primers were forward, 5′-GCAUUAAGAGCUUCCUGAUUGAGAT-3′ and reverse, 5′-AUCUCAAUCAGGAAGCUCUUAAUGCAU-3′. Cells in 6-well plates at 50-60% confluency were incubated with 3 ml of culture media lacking antibiotics and containing 30 μl of Oligofectamine in the absence and presence (30 μM) of Cav-1 siRNA. After 6 h, the cells were washed in 1X PBS, and were cultured in new DMEM lacking fetal bovine serum. Cells were incubated at 37oC in a CO2 incubator for 48 h until ready to assay for gene knockdown.

Generating BLEG-1 Variants for Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The sequence of wild-type (WT) BLEG-1 retrieved from the National Library of Medicine (NCBI) (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/protein/655553190, accessed on September 26th, 2021) was subjected to codon optimization for expression in Escherichia coli B series using Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) SciTools (https://sg.idtdna.com/CodonOpt, accessed on October 15th, 2021). The codon optimized WT BLEG-1 sequence was used for the design of BLEG-1 variants, by substituting the existing codon with GCG which encodes alanine residue at the chosen positions. Following this, the genes of BLEG-1 variants were commercially synthesized and cloned into pUCIDT-Amp vector by IDT Inc., USA, giving forth pUCIDT-Amp::I10A, pUCIDT-Amp::F57A, pUCIDT-Amp::R94A, pUCIDT-Amp::L95A, and pUCIDT-Amp::R159A recombinant plasmids.

Quantitative RT-PCR Expression Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was prepared using RNeasy kit (Quiagen) following the manufacturer’s instructions. cDNA was prepared using iScript cDNA Synthesis Kit (Bio-Rad), and real-time PCR reactions were performed using iQ SYBR Green supermix (Bio-Rad) on CFX Connect equipped (Bio-Rad). Primers were generated using SciTools (Integrated DNA Technologies) and PubMed blasted for gene and species specificity. Each primer set was validated using a standard curve across the dynamic range of interest with a single melting peak. GAPDH housekeeping gene was used as internal control to normalize mRNA expression.

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.
