Cells were individualized with Accutase 4–5 days after electroporation and resuspended in DMEM/F12 media immediately before experiments. For analysis, individualized cells were analyzed on an LSR Fortessa (BD) using 488nm laser for EGFP and 561nm laser for tdTomato. Data analysis was performed using FlowJo® v10.4.1. For FACS sorting, individualized cells were put on a SH800 cell sorter (Sony) fitted with a 130 μm chip and GFP negative cells were sorted directly into a well of a 24-well plate coated with matrigel and filled with 1.5 ml E8 media supplemented with 10 μM Y-27632 and 25 μg/mL recombinant human albumin (Sigma). Sorted cells were then cultured in tissue culture incubator with 5% CO2 at 37°C. Media was changed to regular E8 one day after sorting and daily media change with E8 was carried out thereafter. For isolating single cell clones, GFP-negative and tdTomato-positive cells were sorted directly into 96-well plate (one cell per well) coated with matrigel and filled with 150 μL E8 media supplemented with 10 μM Y-27632 and 25 μg/mL recombinant human albumin (Sigma). Media was changed to regular E8 two days after sorting and media change with E8 was carried out every two days thereafter.

The differentiation protocol started when human iPS cells reached 80–90% of confluency (day 0). Cells were fed with RPMI-1640-Medium-GlutaMAX Supplement-HEPES (Gibco, 72400-021) supplemented with 0.5 mg ml−1 human recombinant albumin (Sigma-Aldrich, A9731), 0.2 mg ml−1l-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (Sigma-Aldrich, A8960) and 4 μM CHIR99021 (Sigma-Aldrich, 361559). After 48 h (day 2), medium was replaced by RPMI-1640-Medium-GlutaMAX Supplement-HEPES supplemented with 0.5 mg ml−1 human recombinant albumin (Sigma-Aldrich, A9731), 0.2 mg ml−1l-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate and 5 μM IWP2 (Sigma-Aldrich, 681671).

Differentiating CM cultures were purified via metabolic selection between d10 and d12 based on previously described methods4 (link). Briefly, cultures were rinsed with PBS and incubated with “no glucose” medium for 48 h (glucose-free RPMI (ThermoFisher Scientific 11879020) supplemented with 4 mM lactate (Sigma L4263), 0.5 mg/mL recombinant human albumin (Sigma A6612), and 213 μg/mL l-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (Sigma A8960))3 (link). Occasionally, cultures required 1–2 days of additional selection to more efficiently eliminate non-CMs. At the end of the selection period, cultures were dissociated into single cells using 0.25% trypsin/EDTA followed by quenching with stop buffer (DMEM, 20% FBS, 20 μg/mL DNAse I (Millipore 260913)) and replated onto fresh Matrigel-coated dishes to remove dead cells and debris.

Apo-rRBP, serum-derived RBP (Athens Research and Technology, Cat # 16–16-180216) and recombinant human albumin (Sigma, Cat # A9731) were diluted into LDS 4X Sample buffer (NuPAGE), boiled and loaded into 4–12% Bis-Tris SDS-PAGE gel (NuPage) at a total protein concentration of 75 ng per well. SDS-PAGE was run in MES Running Buffer (50 mM MES, 50 mM Tris Base, 0.1% w/v SDS, 1 mM EDTA, pH 7.3) at 200 V for 35 minutes. Samples were transferred to 0.45 micron polyvinylidene difluoride membranes at 30 V for one hour before being collected and washed 3X at 5 minutes each in TBST (20 mM Tris, 135 mM NaCl, 0.1 % v/v Tween-20, pH 7.6). Membranes were blocked for 1 hour at room temperature in blocking buffer (5% w/v non-fat dry milk (LabScientific) dissolved in TBST) before incubation at 4 °C overnight with either mouse monoclonal anti-human RBP4 (Abnova, 1:500 dilution, Cat # MAB3211) in blocking buffer or blocking buffer alone (for no-primary controls). After overnight staining, all membranes were washed 3X at 5 minutes each in TBST before secondary antibody incubation at room temperature for 1 hour in the dark with goat anti-mouse IgG IRDye 800CW (Li-Cor, 1:5000 dilution, Cat # 926–32210) antibody in blocking buffer. Probed membranes were washed 3X at 5 minutes each in TBST and subsequently imaged using a Li-Cor Odyssey Imager.

NIH-CoVnb-112 expressed in Pichia pastoris was diluted from a concentrated stock solution into apheresis derived pooled human plasma (#IPLA-N, Innovative Research) to a final concentration of 5 µM and incubated at 37 °C for either 24 hr or 48 hr with gentle rotation. An identical sample set was prepared at 5 µM in a solution containing 35 mg/mL recombinant human albumin (#A9731, Sigma-Aldrich) and incubated at 37 °C for either 24 hr or 48 hr with gentle rotation. A no-incubation control for each the plasma and recombinant human albumin conditions was prepared at 5 µM. The samples were prepared in a manner providing all conditions complete at the same time. The samples were diluted 1:10 with 1xPBS to yield a final nanobody concentration of 500 nM and Bio-layer Interferometry was performed using immobilized biotinylated SARS-CoV-2 S protein RBD to determine retention of binding potential.

Using a previously established protocol, cardiac differentiation of human iPS cells was initiated in 90% confluent cell monolayers by replacing the mTeSR™1 medium with CDM3 (chemically defined medium) with 3 components: RPMI Medium 1640 (1×, Gibco), 500 μg mL−1 of recombinant human albumin (Sigma-Aldrich) and 213 μg mL−1 of l-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (Sigma-Aldrich), supplemented with 1% penicillin/streptomycin.61 (link) Medium was changed every 48 hours. For the first 48 hours, the medium was supplemented with 3 mM of glycogen synthase kinase 3 inhibitor CHIR99021 (Tocris). On day 2, the culture was switched to CDM3 medium supplemented with 2 mM of the Wnt inhibitor Wnt-C59 (Tocris). After day 4 of differentiation, the medium was changed to CDM3 with no supplements. Contracting cells were noted around day 10, when medium was changed to RPMI 1640 supplemented with B-27™ (50×; Gibco), and were used in experiments without selection for cardiomyocytes.

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.
