Murine ES cell lines described previously [57 (link)] were grown in high glucose DMEM with stable glutamine (GIBCO) containing 10 % FBS Superior (Biochrom), 100 μM non-essential amino acids (GIBCO), 1 % Penicillin/Streptamycin (GIBCO) and 100 μM β-Mercaptoethanol (Sigma) in presence of 1000 U/mL of Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF, Milllipore). Differentiation of aCaBs was performed in hanging drop culture for two days using 1000 cells as starting material for one EB in Iscove’s basal medium (Biochrom) containing 10 % FBS (Biochrom), 100 μM non-essential amino acids (GIBCO), 1 % Penicillin/Streptamycin (GIBCO) and 450 μM 1-Thioglycerol. For additional 4 days, the cells were differentiated in suspension culture, and at day 6 of differentiation consistently 15 EBs were seeded on one well of a 24-well-plate. Antibiotic selection with 400 μg/mL G418 (Biochrom) was initiated at day 8 post seeding. 4 days thereafter, aCaBs were isolated via treatment with 6000 U/mL Collagenase IV (GIBCO) for 30 min. To obtain single cells for subsequent experiments, the bodies were further dissociated with 100 % Accutase (Affimetrix) for 15 min. To ensure successful generation of aCaBs, potential mycoplasma contamination was routinely controlled twice a week using the PCR based MycoSPY kit system (Biontex).

LCMV Cl13 virus was propagated using BHK-21 cells. BHK-21 cells were maintained in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% Penicillin/Streptamycin (Gibco), 1% L-glutamine (Gibco), and 5% tryptose phosphate broth (Gibco). BHK-21 cells were infected with a MOI of 0.01 of LCMV Cl13 virus stocks (kind gift of Juan Carlos de la Torres) and gently rocked for 1 hour before removal of virus and replacement of media. After 48 hours of virus propagation, viral supernatant was collected, aliquoted and stored. Quantification of virus stocks was completed using the focus forming assay and Vero cells.

The Fancd2+/− C57/BL6 sv129 hybrid background mice were timed mated, and murine embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) isolated from pups at E13.5, confirmed by PCR [32 (link)] and transformed with a plasmid containing the SV40 large T antigen. Wild type, Fancd2−/−, Parp1+/+ or Parp1−/− MEFs and human eHAP were grown in DMEM and IMDM medium supplemented with 10% FBS, Penicillin/streptamycin (Gibco) respectively.

The antibodies used were against ser139-H2AX (Millipore, 05-636), PAR (Millipore, MABE1016), FANCD2 (Novus, NB100-316), ser345-CHK1 (Cell Signaling 2348), CHK1 (sc-8408), ERCC1 (sc-8408), PCNA (sc-56), Lamin A/C (sc-376248), BrdU (AbSerotec, OBT0030), BrdU (BD Bioscience, 347580), α-tubulin (Sigma, T9026), ser4/ser8 RPA32 (Bethyl, A300-245A).

Mice were euthanized with pentobarbital (300 mg/kg). L4, L5, L6 dorsal root ganglia were placed in cold PBS and stripped of axonal extension. Ganglia were enzymatically dissociated with type I collagenase (2 mg/mL, Gibco) and Dispase (5 mg/mL, Gibco) for 30 minutes at 37 °C and mechanically dissociated with a fire-polished Pasteur pipette. The cell suspension was centrifuged for 10 minutes at 800 g and re-suspended in MEMα medium (Gibco) supplemented with 10% horse serum (Life Technologies) and 1% penicillin-streptamycin (Gibco). Cells were then plated on poly-D-lysine (Sigma)-coated fluorodishes (WPI). Cells were maintained at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2. Experiments were performed 24 h after plating.

Murine Islet Isolation and Scaffold Seeding

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All murine studies were approved by the Northwestern University Animal Care and Use Committees. Male C57BL/6 mice (Jackson Laboratories, Bar Harbor ME) 8–12 weeks old were used as islet donors. Islet isolation was performed as previously described [41 ]. Briefly, donor mice were anesthetized with an intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg Ketamine (Henry Schein)/Xylazine (Anased, Lloyd Labs). After a midline abdominal incision, the common bile duct was cannulated and injected with a cold solution of collagenase (type XI; Sigma Chemical Company, St Louis, MO) in Hank’s balanced salt solution. The pancreas was dissected, removed, and digested at 37°C for 15 min. After filtration through a mesh scre en, the filtrate was applied to a discontinuous Biocoll separating gradient (Cedarlane). Isolated islets were hand-counted and 70 islets were seeded on each scaffold using a fine glass pipette under a surgical microscope. Scaffolds were examined after seeding to ensure a seeding efficiency of >95%. Scaffolds were then incubated at 37°C in 5% CO2 and 95% air for 20 min, before adding serum-free RPMI 1640, supplemented with 1% L-Glutamine and 1% Penicillin/Streptamycin, (Gibco), and used for transplantation.

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.
