Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Detection and quantification of the respective glyco-coat of 6-CD, 3-CD and Lac-CD was performed using anthrone reagent as described.51 (link) In brief a stock solution of ACS (97%) anthrone (Sigma-Aldrich) was prepared by dissolving 20 mg of anthrone into 10 mL concentrated ACS (98%) sulphuric acid (Sigma-Aldrich) and protected from light. Lactose disaccharides were used as a standard to quantitate the carbohydrate concentration of each CD. In glass vials, 400 μL of anthrone reagent was added to 200 μL of each standard or test compound, heated in a boiling water bath for 15 min and cooled in an ice bath. 200 μL of each sample was aliquoted into a 96 well plate and absorbance measured at 622 nm using an Infinite M200 Pro Multimodal Plate reader (Tecan). A linear calibration curve (y = 0.001x + 0.0386, R2 = 0.9969) was obtained by plotting absorbance against concentration of lactose on Microsoft EXCEL. The extent of the CD glyco-coat functionalization was determined using the above calibration curve. The molar concentration was calculated based on the respective concentrations of glycans in each carbon dot sample and subsequently used to compare monovalent glycan concentrations to multivalent glyco-coated carbon dot concentrations.

Quantifying Polysaccharide Content via Anthrone and VaxArray

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Anthrone reagent was prepared fresh by dissolving 1 g Anthrone (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) in 500 mL concentrated sulfuric acid. A 12-point dilution series of the PS of interest was prepared, and the assay was performed in 96-well plate format [30 (link)]. Briefly, a 100 µL sample was mixed with 200 µL Anthrone reagent, with each dilution analyzed in triplicate. The plate was incubated at 95 °C for 20 min and scanned at 630 nm on a FLUOstar OPTIMA microplate reader (BMG LABTECH, Ortenberg, Germany). Because VaxArray has improved sensitivity over the Anthrone assay, serial dilutions prepared for Anthrone assay analysis were diluted an additional 100× or 200× prior to VaxArray analysis. The samples were assessed by VaxArray in triplicate, as described above, using individual serotype-specific Primary Detection Labels. Correlations were generated by plotting the Anthrone assay blank-corrected against the VaxArray signal response (median RFU minus background) for each sample.

Quantification of Total Soluble Sugars

Total soluble sugar was measured spectrophotometrically using the method of Ibrahim and Jaafar [50 (link)]. Samples (0.5 g) were placed in 15 mL conical tubes, and distilled water was added to make up the volume to 10 mL. The mixture was then vortexed and later incubated for 10 min. Anthrone reagent was prepared by dissolving Anthrone (Sigma Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA, 0.1 g) in 95% sulphuric acid (Fisher Scientific, USA, 50 mL). Sucrose was used as a standard stock solution to prepare the standard curve for the quantification of sucrose in the sample. The mixed sample of ground dry sample and distilled water was centrifuged at a speed of 3400 rpm for 10 min and then filtered to get the supernatant. A sample (4 mL) was mixed with Anthrone reagent (8 mL) and then placed in a water bath set at 100°C for 5 min before the sample was measured at an absorbance of 620 nm using a spectrophotometer (model UV160U; Shimadzu Scientific, Kyoto, Japan). The total soluble sugar in the sample was expressed as mg/g sucrose dry sample.

Detecting Sand Fly Plant Feeding

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Each sand fly abdomen containing the crop was macerated in 50 μL absolute ethanol using a sterilized pestle. An aliquot (25 μL) of the sand fly homogenate from each individual was placed in the wells of a flat-bottomed 96-well microplate, and tested for presence of fructose as evidence of recent plant feeding by the cold anthrone test [21 ] with modifications by Matheson et al [22 (link)]. Briefly, 200 μL anthrone solution (0.15% anthrone (Sigma -Aldrich) w/v in 71.7% sulphuric acid) was added to each well containing the homogenate and incubated for 60 min at room temperature (25°C). A change in color from yellow to green or blue was deemed indicative of a positive test [21 ].

Trehalose extracts were subjected to the reaction with anthrone (Sigma, St. Louis, Missouri, USA) and colorimetric measurement at 630 nm, according to the anthrone method (Brin 1966; Ferreira et al. 1997 ). Trehalose served as external standard for quantification. Each treatment was performed in triplicate.

The absorbance of the complex compound was measured at the wavelength of 620 nm (Ultrospec 2100; Amersham, UK). The results were referenced to the calibration curve obtained for glucose (Sigma-Aldrich) at the concentration 0.0039–0.0312 mg per 1 mL. The control was a sample of 1 mL distilled water.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
