Myd88 is a protein that plays a key role in the innate immune response. It functions as an adapter protein, facilitating the activation of signaling pathways in response to the detection of pathogens or other stimuli. Myd88 is involved in the activation of transcription factors, such as NF-κB, which regulate the expression of genes involved in the inflammatory response.

Quantitative RT-PCR for PML-RARA and MyD88

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The RQ-PCR method using Power SYBR Green for ORFs, PML-RARA and MyD88 (Applied Biosystems) and primer sequences used are detailed in Supplementary Table S2. The human PML-RARA clone [47 (link)] and the mouse MyD88 cloned by our laboratory were used to generate the standard curves. The reference gene used was mouse Abl, which was cloned by our laboratory. Target genes were ran for each sample in triplicate. In order to quantify the samples, a standard curve was software generated according to the Ct obtained with the diluted plasmids. The copy number of the gene of interest for each sample was determined as a function of the detected fluorescence extrapolated from the standard curve. The pVAX14+ATRA-treated group was stratified according to survival below or above the median of individual protocols.

Myeloid cells were isolated from the spleens of SPF and CoH mice by plastic adherence (Inaba et al., 2009 ; Steinman et al., 1979 ). Spleens (5 SPF and 5 CoH) were prepared into a single cell suspension in 2 mL HBSS, washed, and resuspended in 10 mL of complete RPMI. Each cell suspension was added to two 10 cm culture dishes and incubated at37°Cfor90 min. Plates were washed twice with 5 mL PBS to remove nonadherent cells. Total RNA was isolated from the remaining adherent myeloid cells using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), and 1 mg was reverse-transcribed using Superscript III (Invitrogen). Resulting cDNA was used as a template for qPCR using TaqMan primer/probe sets for Tlr1, Tlr2, Tlr3, Tlr4, Tlr5, Tlr6, Tlr7, Tlr8, Tlr9, Cd14, Ly96, Myd88, Ticam2, Traf6, Iraki, and 18 s rRNA (Applied Biosystems).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
cDNA was generated from 1 μg of isolated RNA from ectocervical, endocervical, and vaginal cells using the High-Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Applied Biosystems, Thermo Fisher Scientific). qPCR was performed on the 7900HT Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems) using the TaqMan Universal PCR Master Mix (Applied Biosystems) according to the manufacturers’ protocols. The standard curve method was used for relative expression quantification using the RQ manager software v2.4 (Applied Biosystems). The relative abundance of the target of interest was divided by the relative abundance of 18S in each sample to generate a standardized abundance for the target transcript of interest. All mRNA primers were purchased from Applied Biosystems: TLR2, MYD88, NOD1, NOD2, and 18S.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BMDCs were seeded in confocal dishes (Mattek) at a final concentration of 1×105 cells/mL in RPMI-complete media. The following day, cells were treated with 10 μg/mL GRD for 5 minutes and 15 minutes at 37C. Cells were carefully washed with PBS and fixed with 2% PFA for 10 minutes at room temperature in the dark. Fixed cells were permeabilized with SAP buffer (2% saponin in PBS) for 1 hour at 37C. Following permeabilization, BMDCs were intracellularly stained with antibodies to mouse TLR7, MyD88, EEA1, or LAMP1 (Thermo Scientific), followed by staining with secondary antibodies fluorescently labeled with AlexaFluor488 or AlexFluor550 (Invitrogen). Cells were washed 3 times with PBS. Finally, DNA was stained with 1:1000 dilution of DAPI (Invitrogen) for 10 minutes at RT. Cells were visualized using a Nikon confocal microscope and analysis performed using ZEN software. Data analysis and processing of images was conducted using ImageJ software (NIH).

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.
