For ATP assays, BMDMs were plated at 5×105/mL and were lysed with Luciferase Cell Culture Lysis Reagent (Promega, Madison, WI). ATP concentration in the lysate was the incubated with firefly luciferase along with the luminescent ATP Determination Kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Luminescence was then determined by the BioTek Synergy MX plate reader (Biotek, Winooski, VT).
For glucose and lactate measurements, glucose and lactate in the media were measured by the YSI 2300 Stat Plus Glucose & Lactate Analyzer (YSI, Yellow Springs, OH). For nitric oxide secretion assays, nitrites in the media were detected by Griess Reagent Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). Media was incubated with a 1:1 mixture of N-(1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine and sulfanilic acid for 30 minutes at room temperature and were assessed by spectrophotometric analysis on the BioTek Synergy MX plate reader (Biotek, Winooski, VT). For Mito Tracker staining, MitoTracker Green was purchased from Thermo Fisher (Waltham, MA). BMDMs were incubated in MitoTracker Green for 45 minutes and then assessed via flow cytometry.

NK92 Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity Assay

NK92 cells were co-cultured with target cells expressing NL in triplicate at various E:T (effector:target) ratios in RPMI 5% FBS in 96-well V bottom plates (Sarstedt, Montreal, QC, USA) for 5 h at 37 °C. After the incubation, 50 μL of supernatant from each well was transferred to round-bottom black 96-well plates (Corning, Kennebunk, ME, USA). Depending on the experiment, either 25 μL of FMZ substrate or CTZ substrate was added to each well and the Biotek Synergy Mx plate reader (Biotek, Winooski, VT, USA) was used to measure luminescence. Percentage (%) specific lysis was calculated using the following equation (Equation (1)), where experimental release is the raw luminescence values from NK92 + target cells, spontaneous release is the raw luminescence values from the target cells in absence of effector cells, and maximal release is the raw luminescent values from target cells treated with 30 μg/mL of digitonin (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA).

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.
