Summary: This protocol outlines the methods to perform unbiased direct metagenomic sequencing of nucleic acid extracts from cell-free fluids. This protocol can be adapted to be run on Illumina and Nanopore sequencing platforms. The protocol is based off of the work from Kafetzopoulou et al. (PMID: 30563591). Liana has provided the lab with detailed protocols, and has worked with us extensively on optimizing and getting protocols running efficiently. Please note that this protocol has been updated to use SuperScript IV with it’s optimal temperature which has been reflected in Lewandowski et al.

Summary: Introduction: This study was conducted to describe the repeat multiparametric MRI (mpMRI)
changes occurring in prostate cancer (PCa) patients during active surveillance (AS), and to study
possible associations between mpMRI-related parameters in predicting prostate biopsy (Bx)
Gleason score (GS) upgrading >3+3 (GU) and protocol-based treatment change (TC).
Materials and methods: The study cohort consisted of 76 AS patients with GS 3+3 PCa
and at least two consecutive mpMRIs of the prostate performed between 2006 and 2015. Patients
were followed according to the Prostate Cancer Research International Active Surveillance (PRIAS) protocol and additional mpMRIs. The primary end points were GS upgrading (GU) (>3+3) in protocol-based biopsies and protocol-based TC.
Results: 53/76 (69%) patients had progression (PIRADS upgrade, size increase or new
lesion[s]), 18/76 (24%) had radiologically stable disease, and 5/76 (7%) had regression
(PIRADS or size decrease, disappearance of lesion[s]) in repeat mpMRIs during AS. PIRADS
scores 4 to 5 in the initial mpMRI was associated with GU (p=0.008) and protocol-based TC
(p=0.009). Tumour progression on repeat mpMRIs was associated with TC (p=0.045) but not with
GU (p=1.00). PIRADS scores 4-5 predict GU (sensitivity 0.80 [95% confidence interval (CI);
0.51-0.95, specificity 0.62 [95% CI; 0.52-0.77]) with PPV and NPV values of 0.34 (95% CI;
0.21-0.55) and 0.93 (95% CI; 0.80-0.98), respectively.
Conclusion: mpMRI is a useful tool not only to select but also to monitor PCa
patients on AS.

Summary: This protocol is the result of the combination of various nuclei isolation protocols for single cell RNA-seq experiments using droplet-based methods, hence the name Frankenstein. Developed to prepare nuclei isolates from small sample sizes (as little as a grain of rice), this protocol uses FACS to identify cell subpopulations based on ploidy (e.g. tumor versus stroma), to ensure that nuclei suspensions are not clumped, and to remove any debris, especially ambient RNA, to help reduce background. The reference protocols can be found in the following papers: Hu, et al., Habib, et al. (2016), Habib, et al. (2017), Lake, et al., and Lacar, et al.This protocol has been validated in the Single-Cell Innovation Lab (UMCCR) and other labs worldwide for single nuclei experiments using 10x Genomics technologies.The protocol has been demonstrated to work successfully with fresh, snap/flash frozen, cryopreserved cells, and cell lines, as well as various solid cancers: pancreas, pheochromocytomas, paragangliomas, breast cancer, lymphoma, xenografts and other samples types.Cardiomyocytes can be really difficult to prepare but we have successfully prepare this. Get in touch for some tips.

Summary: It is presumed that early detection and treatment of the chronic lung diseases cystic fibrosis (CF) and primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) are crucial for improving the prognosis. Mucus stagnation and secondary infections and inflammation in the airways causes progressive lung damage from infancy in CF and PCD, which again causes early death in CF and reduced pulmonary function in PCD. Early detection of ongoing lung damage will facilitate early intervention with intensive treatment, enhance disease surveillance and further improve preventive treatment. This will improve quality of life for patients with both CF and PCD and likely improve survival in CF.Pulmonary function is an important marker of prognosis and effect of treatment, but current pulmonary function tests do not register the earliest damages in the lungs in school children – and are inappliccable for infants and toddlers due to requirements for good coorporation. For this reason there is a demand for more sensitive methods that can be used in all age groups. Gas washout – multiple breath inert gas washout (MBW) – is a method that meets these criteria and seems promising for detection of minimal lung damage prior to debut of clinical symptoms and detection by other methods.MBW is for the first time in Denmark established in the Pediatric Pulmonary Service at Copenhagen University Hospital, where a recently established ”Respiratory Physiology Lab for Children” offers a wide range of methods to detect lung disease in children.Aim:The aim of the Ph.D.-project is to investigate:Reliability of results conducted from MBW measurements under different standardized conditions (reproducibility), including establishment of a Danish reference material for children.Whether MBW can be used as a marker of early lung disease compared to conventional lung function methods in the chronic lung diseases CF and PCD.Whether MBW can be used as a relevant outcome to detect interventions in basic CF treatment.The Ph.D.-project will generate a new and more aggressive approach to surveillance and treatment of patients with CF and PCD with an overall aim to reduce morbidity and mortality and improve quality of life. Furthermore, it is expected that this project will generate new knowledge that can be used in the more common lung diseases asthma and COPD, which affects 10% and 15% of children and adults, respectively.

Summary: QWB is often used for relative analysis of protein phosphorylation and other post- translational modifications (PTMs). This method combines two primary antibodies raised in different hosts: a phospho-specific or other PTM-specific antibody, and a pan-specific antibody that recognizes the target protein regardless of its modification state. Fluorescently-labeled secondary antibodies are used to simultaneously detect and discriminate the two signals. Phospho-specific signals are then normalized against the total level of the target protein, using that protein as its own internal loading control for maximum accuracy.
This multiplex fluorescent method is used to analyze changes in target protein phosphorylation, glycosylation, acetylation, ubiquitination, and other PTMs.
Note: This protocol is intended for use with near-infrared fluorescent Western blots.

Summary: Purpose of examination / Clinical relevanceAt the end of 2019, several pneumonia cases were reported in Wuhan, China and the pathogen was confirmed as a new viral strain. World Health organization has named the newly identified coronavirus as 2019-nCoV, also known as COVID19. The disease developed into a dangerous pandemic, posing major challenges to the NHS. Although more research is necessary to better understand the virus, in response to the emergency, simple and rapid testing is essential to identify the virus in infected individuals. This will aid the implementation of efficient interventions to contain the spread, and distinguish healthcare workers who have been infected, and are required to self-isolate, from those showing similar symptoms but which are not 2019-nCoV associated. The latter category may continue to work, alleviating stress on hard-pressed healthcare resources. 2019-nCoV is an RNA virus, and the diagnostic tests detect viral RNA in swabs from patient airways using a reverse transcriptase PCR assay. Samples are submitted to HSL, an accredited reporting laboratory, and transferred to the Crick for testing.Principles of ExaminationThis procedure involves the preparation of TET buffer for the RNA extraction protocol.
