Evaluating IgA Aggregate Disulfide Bonds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The overall complex size of IgA aggregates was determined either by SEC or SDS-PAGE. For evaluating the involvement of intermolecular disulfide connectivity in IgA complexes, IgA samples were treated with either reducing agents, such as DTT, TCEP, or reduced glutathione (MilliporeSigma), or interventional drugs, such as cysteamine (MilliporeSigma) and WR-1065 (MilliporeSigma). Before running on SEC, samples were treated with the drugs at indicated concentrations at 37°C for 1 hour.

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.
