Murine Hybridoma Antibody Purification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Murine hybridoma cells were cultured at 37 °C in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2 saturation. For antibody production, media consisted of RPMI 1640 supplemented with Gentamicin, HEPES, nonessential amino acids, sodium pyruvate and 8% ultralow IgG FBS (all from Gibco.) Cell culture supernatant was purified using GammaBind G (GE Healthcare) as per manufacturer instructions. Briefly, samples were loaded onto a GammaBind G column then washed using 0.15 M NaCl in 10 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.0. Antibodies were eluted using 0.5 M acetic acid, pH 3.0, and the acid neutralized with 1 M tris base, pH 9.0, followed by dialysis of the antibody solution against PBS, pH 7.4. As needed, antibodies were concentrated using Amicon Ultra-15 centrifugal filters (Millipore), typically to about 30 mg/mL.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Monoclonal antibodies were produced by culturing hybridoma line 9G11/C7 in hybridoma serum-free medium (Gibco) supplemented with 1% (v/v) ultra-low IgG FBS (Gibco) and 1% (v/v) Nutridoma-SP (Roche) using CELLine disposable bioreactors (Argos Technologies). Medium supernatant was dialyzed against 10 mM Tris/HCl (pH 7.5), 10 mM NaCl (Spectra/Por 6; 10 kDa cutoff) overnight at 4 °C. Precipitates were removed by centrifugation and the supernatant was passed through a 0.2 μm filter and onto a 5 mL HiTrap Q HP column (GE Heathcare) equilibrated in 10 mM Tris/HCl (pH 7.5), 10 mM NaCl. The antibody was eluted from the column using a linear gradient to 10 mM Tris/HCl (pH 7.5), 0.3 M NaCl. Fractions containing the antibody were pooled and digested for 3 h at 37 °C by papain (Worthington) at a 1:50 (w:w) papain:antibody ratio with L-cysteine and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) added at 10 mM each (Sigma-Aldrich). The digestion was terminated by the addition of 10 mM iodoacetamide (Sigma-Aldrich) for 20 min. The mixture was dialyzed twice against 10 mM Tris/HCl (pH 7.5), 50 mM NaCl overnight at 4 °C and applied to a HiTrap Q HP equilibrated in the same buffer. Fab was collected from the flow-through and concentrated to ~10 mg/mL (Amicon Ultra; 10 kDa cutoff).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
INS-1 cells were purchased from AddexBio and cultured with optimized RPMI-1640 (AddexBio, #C0004–02) medium supplemented with 10% ultra-low IgG FBS (Gibco, #16250078). CellTox Green (Promega, # G8741) and CellTiter-Glo 2.0 (Promega, #G9242) assays were used to evaluate the cytotoxicity of h-amylin, h-amylin mutants, and p. vole amylin towards INS-1 cells. Cells were seeded at ~50 % confluence in 96-well half-area clear bottom white plates (Greiner, #675083) and incubated for 36 hrs in a 5 % CO2 humidified incubator at 37 °C. Serial dilutions of the peptides were freshly prepared before use from lyophilized aliquots. Cells were then exposed to varying concentrations of peptide diluted in fresh complete medium for 24 hours. For the CellTox Green assay the cells were exposed to the peptide in presence of the assay dye (1:5000 dilution) for 24 hours before fluorescence intensity was read at 480 nm excitation with 525 nm emission using a Clariostar plate reader. For the CellTiter-Glo 2.0 assays, culture plates were cooled to room temperature and then an equal volume of the assay reagent was added. The plates were shaken for 1 min at 700 rpm and the luminescence intensity was read. Statistical analysis and calculation of EC50 values were conducted with Graph Pad Prism 5.

Vero-E6 (monkey, female origin) and Vero CCL-81 (monkey, female origin) were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). Vero-E6 cells were cultured in Minimal Essential Medium (MEM) (Thermo Fisher Scientific) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; HyClone) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin in 5% CO2, 37°C. Vero CCL-81 cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM; Thermo Fisher Scientific) supplemented with 10% Ultra-Low IgG FBS (Gibco), 25 mM HEPES, and 100 units/mL of penicillin, and 100 μg/mL of streptomycin (GIBCO) in 5% CO2, 37°C. A 293F cell line (human, female origin) stably-transfected to express SNAP-tagged EBOV GP was described previously (Domi et al., 2018 (link)). ExpiCHO (hamster, female origin) and FreeStyle 293F (human, female origin) cell lines were purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific and cultured according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The Jurkat-EBOV GP (Makona variant) cell line stably transduced todisplay EBOV GP on the surface (Davis et al., 2019 ) was a kind gift from Carl Davis (Emory University, Atlanta, GA). All cell lines were tested on a monthly basis for Mycoplasma and found to be negative in all cases.

Aminopterin was diluted from the culture after 6 d by switching to hypoxanthine-thymidine supplement (Sigma-Aldrich). After 14 d, culture supernatants were assessed for anti-TG2 reactivity by ELISA, and limiting dilution culture was performed at least twice on positive cultures. The chosen clones were cultured in RPMI-based medium containing 10% Ultralow IgG FBS (Gibco).

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.
