ABTS Radical Scavenging Assay Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The measurement of 2,2′-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) (Sigma-Aldrich, Germany) radical scavenging was carried out according to the protocol of Rufino et al. (2010)47 (link) with some modifications. The ABTS radical solution was prepared by mixing 7.0 mmol/L ABTS and 2.5 mmol/L of potassium persulfate. Extracts of 10 μL were subsequently mixed with 290 μL of ABTS radical solution, and the absorbance of the resulting mixtures was measured after 30 min at 735 nm using Infinite 200 PRO NanoQuant reader (Tecan, Männedorf, Switzerland). The free radical-scavenging capacity was calculated by the following Equation (5): RadicalScavenging[%]=(AbsBAbsSAbsB)100% where, AbsB is the absorbance of the ABTS mixed with deionized water; AbsS is the absorbance of the ABTS mixed with extracts. All measurements were performed in triplicate and reported as the average value.

Before each assay, fresh MTT solutions were prepared by dissolving 3 mg MTT (Sigma-Aldrich, Germany) in 10 mL pre-warmed (37 °C) PBS. One hundred μl PBS and 100 μL MTT solution were added to all wells. Plates were incubated in the dark for 1 h at 37 °C. In the next step, 100 µL of isopropanol was added to each well, and the plates vigorously shaken. The amount of MTT formazan formed during the incubation was measured with the Infinite 200 PRO NanoQuant reader (Tecan, Switzerland) at a wavelength of 570 nm and reference wavelength of 690 nm.

DPPH Radical Scavenging Assay Protocol

The measurement of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) (Sigma-Aldrich, Germany) radical scavenging capacity was carried out according to Karamać et al.48 290 μl of 0.5 mmol/L DPPH in methanol (Meyer, México) was mixed with 10 μL of the extracts. The mixture was incubated for 30 min at room temperature followed by absorbance reading at 417 nm using Infinite 200 PRO NanoQuant reader (Tecan, Männedorf, Switzerland). The percentage of free radical-scavenging capacity was calculated by the following Equation (6): RadicalScavengingCapacity[%]=(AbsBAbsSAbsB)100% where, AbsB is the absorbance of DPPH mixed with methanol instead of with the extracts; AbsS is the absorbance of DPPH mixed with the extract. All measurements were performed in triplicate and reported as an average value.

RNA Extraction and Expression Profiling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was extracted and purified using the High Pure formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue RNA Isolation Kit (Roche, Indianapolis, IN) according to the manufacturer protocol. RNA was quantified and its quality was assessed using the Infinite 200 PRO NanoQuant reader (Tecan, Mannedorf, Switzerland) according to the manufacturer protocol.
Expression profiling of RNA samples (Table S2) was performed on the nCounter FLEX Instrument using the NanoPCIP panel of 770 genes (NanoString Technologies, Seattle, WA). Briefly, purified RNA was quantitated using the Qubit System (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) and quality-checked using the NanoDrop One (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA) and TapeStation 4200 (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA). Fifty nanograms of RNA was hybridized to gene-specific, fluorescent-labeled probes that were then purified on the nCounter Prep Station. The fluorescent-labeled products were then scanned on the nCounter Digital Analyzer.
Gene expression data were analyzed by nSolver 3.0 software (NanoString Technologies), providing differential expression of all 770 genes in the NanoPCIP panel and immune cell profiling. Using expression of genes previously shown to be characteristic of various immune cell subsets, we estimated the abundance of 17 different immune cell subsets.

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.
