¹Department of Hematology and Oncology, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, ²Department of Cell Biology and Genetics, Erasmus University Medical Center, ³Department of Medicine, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School

This video shows how to micro-dissect the yolk sac and aorta-gonad-mesonephros region from embryos and use flow cytometry to sort hematopoietic stem cells.

Multiparameter fluorescence immunohistochemistry can be used to assess the number, relative distribution, and localization of immune cell populations in the tumor microenvironment. This manuscript describes the use of this technique to analyze T-cell subpopulations in oropharyngeal cancer.

The Organoid Reconstitution Assay (ORA) for the Functional Analysis of Intestinal Stem and Niche Cells

Matthias Schewe¹, Andrea Sacchetti¹, Mark Schmitt¹, Riccardo Fodde¹

¹Department of Pathology, Erasmus MC Cancer Institute, Erasmus University Medical Center

Intestinal organoid cultures are established from whole crypts and do not allow the analysis of self-renewal and differentiation in a cell-specific fashion. This protocol describes reconstitution of sorted stem (Lgr5⁺) and niche (Paneth) cells, which give rise to organoids while enabling their prior biochemical and genetic modification and functional analysis.

Herein, we present a protocol that details the technical aspects and essential requirements to ensure robust IG gene sequence analysis in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), based on the accumulated experience of the European Research initiative on CLL (ERIC).

Detection of Protein Ubiquitination Sites by Peptide Enrichment and Mass Spectrometry

Karel Bezstarosti¹, Lennart van der Wal¹, Jeroen A. A. Demmers¹

¹Proteomics Center, Erasmus University Medical Center

We present a method for the purification, detection, and identification of diGly peptides that originate from ubiquitinated proteins from complex biological samples. The presented method is reproducible, robust, and outperforms published methods with respect to the level of depth of the ubiquitinome analysis.

Genetics

Validating Whole Genome Nanopore Sequencing, using Usutu Virus as an Example

Bas B. Oude Munnink¹, David F. Nieuwenhuijse¹, Reina S. Sikkema¹, Marion Koopmans¹

¹ErasmusMC, Department of Viroscience, WHO Collaborating Centre for Arbovirus and Viral Hemorrhagic Fever Reference and Research, Erasmus University Medical Center

We previously validated a protocol for amplicon-based whole genome Usutu virus (USUV) sequencing on a nanopore sequencing platform. Here, we describe the methods used in more detail and determine the error rate of the nanopore R10 flow cell.

The goal of this protocol is to provide a clear overview of specimen-driven intraoperative assessment of resection margins. It is encouraged to implement this protocol to improve patient care at other institutes.
