Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Curated compound collections from the University of Kansas High Throughput Screening laboratory which include Life Chemicals (15,040), ChemBridge (43,736), ChemDiv (56,232), Selleck Bioactives (1649), TimTec (5000), and FDA Repurposed Library (2,286) were used. Compound transfers from source (80 nL of 10 mM stocks) to assay plates were performed using an Echo 550 acoustic liquid handler (Labcyte, Sunnyvale, CA). For most libraries, a target final concentration of 10 μM of compound (in a final volume of 80 μL for the multiplexed reporter gene-based assay described below) was achieved; the FDA Repurposed Library compounds were plated to obtain final concentrations of 2.5 μM. Assay plates were hermetically sealed and stored at -80°C until used. AmpB and nystatin were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). Synthetic MPLA, lipoteichoic acid (LTA) from S. aureus, PAM2CSK4, Poly(I:C), ultrapure LPS from E. coli K12, flagellin from S. typhimurium, ODN-2006 (Vaccigrade), C12-iE-DAP, and Murabutide were procured from InvivoGen (San Diego, CA). The structures of small molecule PRR agonists synthesized by us are shown in S1 Fig. Responses to a variety of TLR and NLR agonists were first examined using THP1-Blue NF-κB reporter cells (InvivoGen, San Diego, CA, Fig 1).

Endotoxin-Induced Acute Inflammation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Male mice (8–10 weeks old) were injected intraperitoneally with a non-lethal dose of highly purified LPS (10 mg/kg of highly purified E. coli 0111:B4 purchased from Invivogen) 24 h before a secondary challenge with murabutide at 10 mg/kg (Invivogen). Alternatively, mice were challenged with a lethal dose of highly purified LPS as a model of acute endotoxin septic shock (54 mg/kg of highly purified E. coli 0111:B4 purchased from Invivogen). Mice were monitored twice daily over a 6-day period. The morphology of recruited cells within the peritoneum of mice was determined by cytological examination after centrifugation on glass microscope slides (Cytospin; Shandon), fixation and staining according to the manufacturer's recommendations (Diff; Dade Behring Inc.). For cytokine measurements, serum was taken at 90, 180, 360, and 540 min after secondary MDP challenge.

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.
