2mg of MSRs were loaded with either 2ug of GM-CSF, 100ug of CpG, or 10ug of Rhodamine-PEI (L25K). The individual vaccine components were then resuspended in 1ml of release media, which is composed of RPMI (Sigma-Aldrich) supplemented with 1% penicillin/ streptomycin and 10% heat-inactivated FBS (Sigma-Aldrich), in low-binding Eppendorf tubes. Release study was then performed in 37 °C under gentle shaking. Periodically, supernatant containing the released component was collected by pelleting the particles at 2000g for 10 min. The release media was subsequently replaced. For analysis, GM-CSF content was determined using ELISA (R&D). CpG content was detected using OliGreen (ThermoFisher)13 (link).
