Quantifying Anti-HLA Antibody Binding

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Anti-HLA antibodies (SN230G6, SN607D8 and W6/32) were spotted, via random coupling, using a Continuous Flow Microspotter (Wasatch Microfluidics) onto a SensEye Easy2Spot G-type sensor (Senss). Spotting was done in 10 mM acetate buffer phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) + 0.075%-Tween 80 (Amresco), pH 4.5 in duplicate at a two-fold dilution ranging from 60 nM to 7.5 nM for 15 min. The sensor was deactivated with 100 mM ethanolamine (Merck), pH 8.8 for 7 min. Binding measurements were carried out in an IBIS MX96 (IBIS Technologies). First, 100 nM HLA-A*02:01 was flowed over the sensor for 5 min, followed by a 5-min flow of 100 nM of each anti-HLA antibody separately. Regeneration was then performed with 10 mM Gly-HCl, pH 2.4. This was repeated for every possible antibody combination.

One day before experiments, animals (2–4 months old) were transferred to the experimental room for acclimatization, separated in individual cages and provided food and water ad libitum. Experiments were performed during the day (light cycle). Stock solutions of CIM0216 (100 mM) alone or in mixture with Baclofen (25 mM) were diluted 20x in a sterile vehicle solution of 10% PEG-200 (Sigma-Aldrich), 2% Tween-80 (Amresco) in 0.9% NaCl. Hind paw subcutaneous dorsal injection of 10 μL was performed using a 30G needle coupled to a Hamilton syringe, and duration and numbers of nocifensive behavior (licking and lifting of injected paw) were recorded for a period of 10 min by an observer blind to the tested substances. Every animal was subject to random order injections of CIM0216 or its mixture with Baclofen in one paw followed 7 days later by the other reagent in opposite paw. A similar procedure was used for AITC and baclofen. We used both male and female animals and the data were pooled, as there was no significant difference between the two sexes. The final injected dose was 50 nmol/paw for CIM, 100 nmol/paw for AITC and 12.5 nmol/paw for Baclofen. All animal experiments were performed in accordance with the requirements of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School

The sediment samples were diluted at 1:10 (1 g sediment + 9 mL Ringer Tween solution 0.3%) in 50 mL sterile plastic tubes (Greiner®, bio-One™, Kremsmünster, Austria) with 0.3% Ringer Tween (TWEEN 80®, Amresco, VWR™, Vienna, Austria) solution and incubated at the current river temperatures for one hour on a roll mixer (CATRM5®, servoLAB™, Kumberg, Austria). Approximately 500 µL of diluted samples was consequently plated onto Chromo Cult Coliform Agar plates. Post incubation, the colonies were isolated and stored using an identical procedure employed for the water samples.

DST was performed by using broth micro-dilution methods according to the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) guidelines (Krishnan et al., 2009 (link); Schon et al., 2020 (link)). The strains were grown in Middlebrook 7H9 broth medium (Difco, Becton, Dickinson and Company, New Jersey, USA) supplemented with 10% OADC, (Difco), 0.2% glycerol and 0.05% Tween-80 (Amresco, USA) for initial culture. Later, Middlebrook 7H9 (final pH 6.6 ± 0.2) broth medium supplemented with 10% OADC, 0.2% glycerol without Tween-80 was used in the preparation of inocula for DST. Based on EUCAST guidelines the inocula were fixed up to OD600 0.6 with a final concentration of 1 × 105 to 5 × 105 CFU/mL. Cells in 96 well plates were incubated at 37°C. Several anti-microbials including rifabutin, imipenem, rifampicin (RIF), vancomycin, streptomycin, amikacin, clarithromycin, ethambutol, isoniazid, sulfamethoxazole, linezolid, and clofazimine were used to perform DST (Table S11). The MIC was defined based on the EUCAST formula as the lowest concentration of drugs that inhibited visible mycobacterial growth in wells.

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.
