Collagen II was quantified as described elsewhere [50 (link)]. To determine the amount of collagen II in the scaffolds, 50 µL of the supernatant of the dissolved scaffolds (see Section 4.7) was used with a capture antibody mouse anti-chick collagen type II (1:2000, #7048; Chondrex, Woodinville, WA, USA) and a biotin-conjugated detection antibody mouse monoclonal anti-type II collagen (1:1000, # 7006, Chondrex) in an ELISA. Detection was performed using a streptavidin–horseradish peroxidase (# DY998; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) based conversion of the substrate 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (#T4444; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and its photometric determination. The concentration was calculated using a calibration line of purified human collagen type II (# CC052; Millipore Sigma, Darmstadt, Germany).

A 96-well plate (Nunc, MaxiSorp) was coated O/N, at 4 °C, with 100 µl anti-α-hemolysin (S7531, Sigma Aldrich) diluted 1:12 500 (V/V) in sodium carbonate buffer (0.05 M, pH: 9.5). Wells were then blocked for 2 h, RT, using 250 µl BSA (1 %, W/V) in wash buffer. Patient samples and alpha-hemolysin spiked serum samples, diluted 1:10 (V/V) in PBS, were subsequently added to the wells in duplicates (100 µl/well) and incubated for 2 h. anti-α-hemolysin (S7531, Sigma Aldrich) diluted 1:12 500 (V/V) were added (100 µl/well) for an additional 2 h before secondary HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit-antibodies (Bio-Rad, 1721019), diluted 1:4000 (V/V) in wash buffer, was finally added (1 h, RT). Wells were incubated for 10–15 min with substrate 3,3′,5,5′-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB, Sigma Aldrich, T4444) (100 µl/well) before stop solution in the form of 100 µl H2SO4 (1 M) was added and the absorbance was read at 450 nm. Between each steps, wells were washed 3 times using 0.05 % Tween 20 in PBS (V/V). The absorbance values recorded from the alpha-hemolysin spiked serum samples were used to draw a calibration curve which was then used for the quantification of alpha hemolysin in patient samples.

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.
