Fresh human unfrozen plasma was purchased from Zenbio (Cat #: SER-PLE10ML), and incubated with different APC compounds in separate Eppendorf tubes and incubated and shaken for 4hrs at 37°C. Samples were mixed with sample buffer (BioRad Cat#: 161–0738) and were run in non-denaturing conditions and in Tris-Glycine gels (Biorad Cat#: 456–1024, 161–1158).

Deuterium-Labeled Fatty Acid Incorporation in Erythrocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human peripheral blood erythrocytes from healthy human volunteers were isolated by centrifugation and aspiration of the platelet-rich plasma and buffy coat layer. Erythrocytes were purified by resuspension in RPMI 1640 (Lonza) [10% hematocrit (ht)] and centrifugation followed by aspiration of the top 10% of the erythrocyte layer (this purification procedure was carried out with five repetitions). Purified erythrocytes were then resuspended (20% ht) in RPMI 1640 containing deuterium-labeled EPA and DHA (d5-EPA, 10 μM and d5-DHA, 10 μM) with fatty acid–free human serum albumin (Sigma-Aldrich) and were incubated for 3 hours at 37°C to allow maximal incorporation of fatty acids into phospholipid membranes [see (64 (link)) for further details]. Cells were washed five times with 10 volumes of RPMI 1640 to remove extracellular free fatty acids.

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.
