Quantifying Collagen-Specific IgG

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The serum concentrations of IgG were measured with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) quantitation kit (Bethyl Laboratories). For the assessment of collagen-specific IgG, plates were coated with 10 μg ml−1 chicken collagen type II (Sigma) instead of the capture antibody.

Quantifying Secreted and Intracellular Ig Light Chains

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ig light chain ELISA was performed as described previously [3 (link)] and quantified using the lambda (λ) or kappa (κ) ELISA Quantitation Kit (Bethyl Laboratories) according to manufacturer’s instructions. In-vitro secreted light chain was measured from conditioned media (1:100 dilution) collected from 3x106 cells following 24 hour culture. Intracellular light chain was measured from 500ng cell lysate protein collected. Plasma samples from mice bearing xenograft tumors and age-matched non-tumor bearing mice (as controls) were tested at 1:100 dilution. For HSF1 knockdown studies, cells were plated 72 hours post-transduction.

Murine Protein-Overload Renal Injury Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
This study was approved by the Committee on the Use of Live Animals in Teaching and Research of The University of Hong Kong and was performed in accordance with the National Institute of Health Guide for Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. Murine protein-overload model was established in C57BL6 mice at 6 wks as previously described [23] (link), [24] (link). Uninephrectomy was performed under anesthesia 5 days before BSA injections began. Low endotoxin BSA A-9430 (Sigma) was given 5 days a week intraperitoneally at 10 mg/g body weight for 4 wks. Control mice received the same volume of saline. Beginning on day 7 of BSA injection, mouse BM-MSCs (1×106 cells/mouse) were injected intravenously into uninephrectomized mice with or without BSA treatment at weekly intervals until sacrifice at wk 4 of BSA injection. Renal CCL-2, CCL-5, α-SMA, collagen IV mRNA and protein expression were evaluated in 4 mice randomly selected from each group. Urinary albumin was measured by ELISA quantitation kit (Bethyl Laboratories, Montgomery, AL, USA), and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), urine and serum creatinine were determined by enzymatic method (Stanbio Laboratory, Boerne, TX, USA).

Quantifying Hepatocyte Function

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A human albumin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) quantitation kit (Bethyl Laboratories, Inc., Montgomery, TX, USA) and QuantiChrom™ urea assay kit (BioAssay Systems, Hayward, CA, USA) were used to quantitate free albumin and urea levels, respectively, as measures of hepatocyte function. Albumin secretion and urea synthesis of hepatocytes in mono- and co-culture were normalised to one million seeded viable hepatocytes.

At the endpoint of the differentiation process, the supernatant of cultured cells was collected. Albumin secretion in the supernatant was measured with a human albumin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) quantitation kit (Bethyl, Montgomery, TX, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Cells were trypsinized and counted with Cellometer Auto T4 Bright Field Cell Counter (Nexcelom Bioscience, Lawrence, MA, USA). The albumin secretion was normalized to total cell numbers.

Analyzing Cecal Microbiome and Metabolites

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bacterial genomic DNA was extracted from cecal digesta using an Isofecal DNA extraction kit (Nippon Gene, Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The cecal microflora was analyzed using a terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism method as described previously (18 (link)). Cecal organic acids were measured as described previously (19 (link)). Fecal acidic sterols were analyzed using an internal standard (nor-deoxycholic acid; Steraloids, Wilton, NY, USA) by gas chromatography as described previously. The total IgA concentration in feces was measured using an ELISA quantitation kit (Bethyl Laboratories Inc., Montgomery, TX, USA). Mucins were extracted according to the method of Bovee-Oudenhoven et al (20 (link)) and quantitated using a fluorometric assay (21 (link)). The activities of harmful fecal enzymes, such as tryptophanase, β-glucuronidase and β-glucosidase, were determined as described previously (22 (link)).

Quantification of Hepatocyte Secretion and Enzyme Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Albumin was measured in collected cell culture supernatant using a commercial human albumin-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) quantitation kit (Bethyl Laboratories). Urea was measured in collected cell culture supernatant using a commercial diacetylmonoxime-based blood urea nitrogen diagnostic kit (StanBio Laboratory). Relative CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 activity was determined using commercial live-cell luciferin-based luminescence assay kits (Promega Corporation). For CYP induction studies, rifampin (Sigma-Aldrich) was diluted to a concentration of 25 µM in H–E medium and devices were stimulated for 72 h, with media being replenished every 24 h. All assays were performed per manufacturer instructions and absorbance/luminescence measurements were done using a Tecan plate reader.

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.
