0.22 m lter

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

The 0.22-μm filter is a type of laboratory equipment used for filtration. It is designed to remove particles and microorganisms from liquids, including water, cell culture media, and other solutions. The filter has a pore size of 0.22 microns, which allows the passage of smaller molecules while retaining larger particles and microbes.

UF was centrifugated at 4°C, 10,000 g for 30 min, and ltered through a 0.22 µm lter (Millipore). Six rats were merged into one UF testing sample and then concentrated using ultra ltration concentration tubes (Millipore, 100KD). Filtered solution was collected as negative control for the western blot. Membrane a nity spin column (QIAGEN, exoEasy Maxi Kit) was used to isolate EVs from the concentrated liquid following the standard protocol in the exoRNeasy Midi Kit Handbook and UF EV elute was diluted 5 times by 0.22 µm ltered PBS. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to identify the morphology, performed at the Laboratory of Biomedical Electronic Microscopy Higher Research Center, Central South University. The particle distribution was analyzed with dynamic light scattering (DLS) using Zetasizer Nano ZSP instrument (Malvern). Speci c surface protein markers, CD63 (1:500, Rabbit#25682-1-AP, Proteintech) and TSG101 (1:1000, Rabbit# ab109201, Proteintech), were characterized by the Western blot. All characterization tests had been conducted triplicates.

Preparation of "all-in-one" modi ed ABE vector
The sequence information of the modi ed ABE vector (namely as pCMV-ABEmaxAW) created by was obtained from the Addgene (catalog: #125647) (Rees. et al. 2019) . For construction of ABE vector, the ABEmaxAW fragment with AgeI/BglII restriction sites was obtained by gene synthesis (BGI, Shenzhen, China), and linked to the PX459 (Addgene catalog: #62988) vector according to our previous study (Wei et al. 2020 ). The accuracy of molecular cloning was tested by gene sequencing, and the obtained vector was named as PX-ABEmaxAW.
Complete sequence information of PX-ABEmaxAW weas provided online with this paper. The gRNA and ABE expression elements were integrated into one vector, namely as "all-in-one" vector. The "all-in-one" vector is very suitable for transfection of pig cells.

ESCs at 70% of con uence were incubated in DMEM/F12 containing 10% exosome-depleted FBS (System Biosciences, CA, USA) for 48 h. Subsequently, the medium of ESCs was collected and centrifuged at 2000 g for 10 min at 4 ℃ to eliminate cell debris. The resulting supernatants were ltered through a 0.22-µm lter (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) to remove microvesicles, and then concentrated through an Amicon Ultra-15 100 kDa centrifugal lter (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) at 4000 rpm for 30 min. Exosomes were then isolated using the Total Exosome Isolation kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer's protocol. Brie y, the supernatant was mixed with Total Exosome Reagent and incubated for 24 h at 4°C. Samples were centrifuged at 10,000 x g for 2 h and the supernatant removed.

FBS was depleted of EVs by ultracentrifugation at 140,000 g and 4 °C for 16 hours, and the supernatant was collected and ltered using a 0.22 µm lter (Millipore, USA). EVs derived from blood samples and cell medium were isolated by differential centrifugation as previously described (15) . Before EV isolation, cells were cultured in normal medium until 50% con uency and then washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) three times; and the medium was replaced with RPMI-1640 with 10% EV-depleted FBS and cultured under normoxic or hypoxic conditions. After 48 hours, the cell culture medium was harvested (50 ml), and EVs were isolated by differential centrifugation as previously described. The EVs were used immediately for further experiments. The size distribution and concentration of EVs were analysed by nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) using a ZetaView particle tracker from ParticleMetrix (Meerbusch, Germany). We used a transmission electron microscope (TEM; JEM-1200EX, JEOL Ltd., Japan) to observe the structure of EVs. CD63, CD81 and Alix were used as exosomal markers, and calnexin was used as a negative control for EVs. PKH67 (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) was used to label EVs. Twenty-four hours after PKH67labelled EVs were incubated with OSCC cells, DAPI was used for nuclei staining. The cells were visualized with a confocal uorescence microscope (Leica, Germany).

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.
