Luciferase-Labeled Cell Line Generation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The HEK293T and ovarian cancer cell lines were originally obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) or Japanese Collection of Research Bioresources Cell Bank (JCRB), where cell characterization was authenticated using polymorphic short tandem repeat (STR) profiling. No mycoplasma contamination was found. Luciferase-labeled stable cell lines were generated by infecting HEY or SKOV3 cells with lentiviral construct expressing firefly luciferase, followed by puromycin selection (5 μg/mL) for one week. Cells were maintained in RPIM1640 (Life Technologies) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco). All cells were cultured at 37°C in a saturated humidity atmosphere containing 5% CO2.

U87 and U251 cells were purchased from the Chinese Academy of Sciences Committee Type Culture Collection Cell Bank (Shanghai, China). Cells were cultured in RPIM 1640 (Life Technologies) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Millipore). Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) were purchased from RIBOBIO (Guangzhou, China). Lipofectamine™ 2000 (Lip2000) was obtained from Invitrogen (Carlsbad, CA) and transfections were performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The siRNA sequence was as follows: 5ʹ-CCAGAGGUCA GCUGUUCAAGA-3ʹ; Scramble siRNA sequence: 5ʹ-UUCGUAUCUGGGUGUAC CCTT-3ʹ. RIPA lysate was used to extract total protein from the cell lines and the protein concentration in the cell lysate was determined using the BCA protein quantification kit (Beyotime, China). SDS–PAGE was performed in 10% gel with the loading of an equal amount of protein per lane. Samples were electrophoretically transferred onto the PVDF membrane. The membranes were washed five times for 10 min with TBST and blocked using 5% non-fat dry skim milk in TBST before reblotting. The membranes were incubated overnight with primary antibodies, followed by incubation with relevant biotinylated secondary antibodies for 1 hour at room temperature. The membrane was scanned using an infrared Odyssey scanner by Li-cor.

Peptide Library for ESAT-6 Epitope Screening

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
One hundred and three overlapping peptides spanning the complete amino acid sequence of CFP-10, ESAT-6, Rv1983p257-558, Rv1986, Rv1987, Rv1988 and Rv1989c, were designed and purchased (GL Biochem Ltd., Shanghai) (Table S1). The identity of each peptide was confirmed by mass spectrometry and the purity (>90%) was checked by high-pressure liquid chromatography. The stock concentration (20 mg/mL) of the peptides was prepared in DMSO (Sigma), and the peptides were further diluted to a working concentration in tissue culture medium RPIM-1640 (Life Technology). An ESAT-6 peptide pool containing ESAT-6 P1-P8 (Table S1) was used as the control in the epitope screening experiment.

The HEK293T and tumor cell lines were originally obtained from ATCC or JCRB in 2014, where mycoplasma contamination was tested and cell characterization was performed using polymorphic short tandem repeat (STR) profiling. Cells were cultured in RPIM 1640 (Life Technologies) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Millipore). ABT-263, spautin-1 and other inhibitors were purchased from Selleck Chemicals. All inhibitors were reconstituted in DMSO (Sigma-Aldrich) at a stock concentration of 10 mM. For cell viability assays, cells were seeded at 100,000 cells per well in growth media supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum in 6-well plates, allowed to adhere overnight, and treated with a serial dilution of inhibitors for 5 days. Cells were fixed with formalin and stained with crystal violet.

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.
