Purified HAdV55ΔE1ΔE3 virions were labelled with Alexa Fluor 647 N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to manufacturer’s guidelines. In brief, 1 × 1011 v.p. of HAdV55ΔE1ΔE3 was added with 0.2 M Alexa Fluor 647 NHS ester in PBS at 4°C for 2 h. After coupling, unbound dye was removed by separation on Amicon Ultra Centrifugal Filters (Millipore). For confirmation, the labelled and unlabelled virions were separately added onto confluent A549 cells (1 × 104 v.p. per cell). After incubation for 2 h, cells (ratios of cells infected by labelled virions versus those by unlabelled virions: 100: 0, 70: 30, 30: 70, 0: 100, respectively) were washed and analysed by Accur C6 Plus Flow Cytometer (BD Biosciences).

NGs were synthesized as described above with 70 kDa rhodamine-B isothiocyanate conjugated dextran (Sigma), rather than 70 kDa dextran. Alexa Fluor 647 N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester (ThermoFisher) was conjugated to PECAM antibody (clone MEC13.3) via incubation of 10-fold molar excess of dye with antibody for 30 min at room temperature in 0.1 M sodium bicarbonate in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), followed by removal of excess dye via five filtrations against 10 kDa molecular weight cutoff centrifugal filter. PLVAP-targeted rhodamine-NGs were administered to C-57BL/6 mice via intravenous bolus. Twenty min after NG injection, Alexa Fluor 647-conjugated PECAM antibody was administered via intravenous bolus. Mice were sacrificed 30 min after NG injection, and lungs were excised, rinsed with PBS, suspended in OCT, and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. Frozen lungs were sectioned in 10 or 20 μm slices and mounted on slides with DAPI mounting media. Fluorescence images detecting DAPI, rhodamine, and Alexa Fluor 647 were obtained via confocal microscopy (Leica), and images were analyzed in ImageJ.

After assays and cellular detachment, trypan blue was added to cells following enumeration on a Countess II cell counter (Life Technologies). Phagocytosis assays were conducted at an MOI of 1 with Alexa Fluor 647 N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester (Invitrogen)-labeled strains for 5 min and 30 min at 37°C. Cells were then washed 3 times and detached with TrypLE Express. Cells were mixed with PBS and analyzed using an Accuri C6 flow cytometer (BD Biosciences).

Fluorescent Labeling and Biodistribution of IL-10 Constructs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
WT IL-10 and Fab-IL-10 constructs were fluorescently labeled using Alexa Fluor 647 N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester (Invitrogen), and unreacted dye was removed with a Zeba Spin Desalting Column (7K MWCO, Thermo Scientific) according to the manufacturer’s instruction. WT IL-10 and Fab-IL-10 (5 μg per mouse) were injected intravenously through the tail vein. After 2 hours, the blood was collected, and the spleen and aorta were harvested following perfusion and euthanasia. Red blood cells were lysed following 3 × 3 min incubations with ACK Lysing Buffer (Gibco). The remaining white blood cells were washed with PBS twice and plated for surface staining, as described above. The spleen and aorta were processed and stained as described above.

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.
