20、BL/6, males or females8 to 12 weeks old, are used. Use of the pooled cells derivedfrom at least two (2) animals is highly recommended.7. Procedure7.1 Aseptic Precautions are required.7.2 Reagent and Control Preparation:7.2.1 MethoCult MediumThe MethoCult medium is sup-plied in 100-mL size batches. I
21、t is recommended by manufac-turer that the medium be thawed at room temperature or in arefrigerator overnight, vortexed to mix the ingredients, then leftat a room temperature for approximately 5 min to allow airbubbles to dissipate. If using another source of media, followthe instructions indicated
22、by the supplier. Use a 16-gaugeblunt-end needle to dispense 3-mL aliquots of the MethoCultmedium into sterile 15-mL tubes. Store the aliquoted mediumat a nominal temperature of 20C. Before the test thaw therequired number of tubes at room temperature for approxi-mately 20 min and keep on ice prior t
23、o use. Repeated freezingand thawing should be avoided.7.2.2 50 mM Cisplatin (Positive Control)Cisplatin is sup-plied in a lyophilized form. Reconstitute the lyophilizedpowder by adding the appropriate amount of DMSO to make astock solution with nominal concentration of 50 mM. Preparesmall aliquots a
24、nd store at a nominal temperature of 80 C.Prior to use in the assay, thaw an aliquot of the stock solutionat room temperature and dilute in IMDM supplemented with2 % FBS to bring the Cisplatin concentration to 2 mM. Onehundred fifty (150) L of this intermediate solution is thenadded to 3 mL of cultu
25、re medium. Final concentration ofCisplatin in the positive control sample is 100 M.7.3 Preparation of Study Samples:7.3.1 This assay requires 1200 L of nanoparticles, 150 Lsamples in duplicate for each of 4 concentrations. The nano-particles subjected to the biological test environment shouldhave be
26、en characterized as appropriate to allow adequate datainterpretation and to help provide information to predictbiological responses. For example, lot-to-lot variations inparticle size and surface characteristics of the particles couldresult in different assay results. For this assay, the particlessh
27、all be provided in physiologic solution (isotonic with pH7.2 6 0.2) and this solution shall be defined. The preparationshall be sterile and the level of LPS provided or determined bythe testing laboratory. ANSI/AAMI ST72 may be helpful. Thenumber of particles/mL and mg/mL shall be indicated.7.3.2 Th
28、e test sample shall be used at the highest concen-tration possible and at three serial one to five (1:5) dilutions.The highest possible concentration is that at which the particlesappear evenly dispersed in the liquid. If the concentration forits intended use is known, this may serve as the highestc
29、oncentration to be tested and at least three dilutions made.7.4 Isolation and Counting of Bone Marrow Cells:7.4.1 Position the euthanized mouse on its back and rinsefur thoroughly with 70 % alcohol.7.4.2 Cut a slit in the fur just below the rib cage withoutcutting the peritoneal membrane.7.4.3 Firml

31、he long bones to expose the interiormarrow shaft. Put bones in a sterile Petri dish or in sterileculture medium and place on ice. Bones should be collectedfrom multiple animals.4Reagent Chemicals, American Chemical Society Specifications, AmericanChemical Society, Washington, DC. For Suggestions on

33、ge with 21 or 22-gauge needle, drawup to 1 to 3 mL of cold Iscoves MDM supplemented with 2 %FBS.7.4.9 Insert bevel of needle into marrow shaft and flushmarrow into 15-mL tube. Repeat this procedure for all bones.The same medium can be used to isolate marrow from 1 to 3animals. The medullary canal sh
34、ould appear white once all themarrow has been expelled.7.4.10 Keep the needle below the surface of the medium andgently draw the cell suspension up and down with 3-cc syringeand 21-gauge needle 3 to 4 times to make a single cellsuspension without introducing air bubbles.7.4.11 Keep cells in medium o
35、n ice until use.7.4.12 Perform a nucleated cell count. Dilute an aliquotsample of the cells with 3 % acetic acid with methylene blue1:50 (20 L cells + 980 L 3 % acetic acid methylene blue) or1:100 (10 L cells + 990 L 3 % acetic acid methylene blue).Then use either hemocytometer or automatic cell cou
36、nter (thatcounts nucleated live cells) to determine the number of viablenucleated cells. An average cell count is expected to be12107for femur and 0.61 107for tibia from each mouse.7.4.13 If cell viability and count are acceptable providing atleast 106viable cells proceed to the next step.7.5 Experi
37、mental Procedure:7.5.1 Label lids of 35-mm culture dishes at the edge using apermanent fine felt marker. There will be two 35-mm culturedishes for each control and test article.7.5.2 Thaw the aliquoted tubes of MethoCult medium atroom temperature or in a refrigerator overnight.7.5.3 Vortex tubes to

Draw up approximately 1 mL, then gentlydepress the plunger an

Distributethe cell suspension evenly by gently tilting and rotating eachdish. Cover the 35-mm dishes and place t
42、he two replicates intoa 100-mm Petri dish. Place a third 35-mm dish into the100-mm Petri dish and fill this 35-mm dish with 3 mLof sterilewater and do no cover this dish. This will provide a humiditychamber. Place the lid on the 100-mm Petri dish.7.5.11 Repeat 7.5.10 for all samples and place the cu
43、lturesin an incubator maintained at 37C, 5 % CO2and 95 %humidity.7.5.12 Incubate for 12 days. On the 12th day remove dishesfrom incubator, identify and count colonies as described below.Representative values of CFU-GM for C57BL6 mice at 8 to 12weeks of age range from 64 6 16.7.6 Count the CFU-GM Col
44、onies:7.6.1 This count includes the CFU-granulocyte (CFU-G),CFU-macrophage (CFU-M) and CFU-granulocyte macro-phage (CFU-GM). Count the colonies containing at least 30CFU-G, CFU-M or both cell types (CFU-GM). CFU-GMcolonies often contain multiple clusters and appear as densecore surrounded by cells.
45、The monocytic lineage cells are largecells with an oval to round shape and appear to have a grainyor grey center. The granulocytic lineage cells are round, bright,and are much smaller and more uniform in size than macro-phages. It is easy to see individual cells of a CFU-GM colony,especially in the
46、periphery of the colony.7.6.2 See Fig. 1 for the following colony examples. Colo-nies seen on Figures A and B are CFU-GM. Colonies onFigures C and D are CFU-M. Figure E demonstrates anexample of single CFU-G colony. Few CFU-G coloniesgrowing together are shown on Figure F.8. Calculation or Interpret
