Cell Culture:Article Title: Gardnerella Vaginalis Alters Cervicovaginal Epithelial Cell Function Through Epithelial Cell-type Specific Immune Responses
Article Snippet: .. Materials And Methods Cell Culture Ectocervical (Ect/E6E7, AATC# CRL-2614) (Ecto), endocervical (End1/E6E7, AATC# CRL-2615) (Endo) and vaginal (VK2/E6E7, ATCC# CRL-2616) (VK2) human epithelial cell lines (American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA) were cultured in Keratinocyte-Serum Free Media (K-SFM) supplemented with 0.1 ng/mL epidermal growth factor and 50 ug/mL bovine pituitary extract (Gibco, Life Technologies), 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL of streptomycin at 37oC in a 5% CO2 humidi ed incubator. .. TLR2 (NF-kB-SEAP / KI-IL-8 Lucia) dual-reporter human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells (Invivogen, San Diego, CA), a TLR2 reporter cell line, expresses the human TLR2 gene, an NF-kB/AP1-inducible SEAP (secreted embryonic alkaline phosphatase) reporter gene and the Lucia luciferase reporter gene under the Page 5/32 control of the endogenous IL-8 promoter.
Article Title: Vaginal microbes alter epithelial transcriptome and induce epigenomic modifications providing insight into mechanisms for susceptibility to adverse reproductive outcomes
Article Snippet: .. Materials and Methods Cell Culture Ectocervical (Ect/E6E7, ATCC# CRL-2614) (Ecto), endocervical (End1/E6E7, ATCC# CRL-2615) (Endo) and vaginal (VK2/E6E7, ATCC# CRL-2616) (VK2) human epithelial cell lines (American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA) were cultured in Keratinocyte-Serum Free Media (KSFM) supplemented with 0.1 ng/mL epidermal growth factor and 50 μg/mL bovine pituitary extract (Gibco, Life Technologies), 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL of streptomycin at 37oC in a 5% CO2 humidi ed incubator. .. The monocyte cell lines, THP1-Null2 (Invivogen) and THP1-KO-NLRP3 (Invivogen), which have a biallelic KO of the Nterminal region of the NLRP3 gene, were cultured according to the manufacture's protocol.

Article Title: Postintegration HIV-1 Infection of Cervical Epithelial Cells Mediates Contact-Dependent Productive Infection of T Cells
Article Snippet: .. Cell Culture Ectocervical (Ect1/E6E7) and endocervical (End1/E6E7) cell lines were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection and grown in cell-specific media as indicated by the manufacturer. .. Primary CD4+ T cells were isolated from blood using CD4+ T-cell isolation kit II (Miltenyi Biotec Inc.) and activated with 4 μg/mL phytohemagglutinin and 50 U/mL interleukin-2 for 72 hours in Roswell Park Memorial Institute complete media with penicillin streptomycin and 10% fetal bovine serum.
