Example 3

The pH of the sample lysate/proteolytic product flowing from the protease cleaving mesh matrix is about 7.5 to 9.0. This pH was adjusted to a pH compatible with the pH of the FAOX enzyme in the reaction zone.

A 200 mM Trizma Buffer solution was prepared with Trizma Buffer—Sigma t4661—by adding about 12 grams of the Trizma Buffer to 400 mL of distilled water and stirring until dissolved. The pH was adjusted to 7.5 at a total solution volume of 500 mL. About 0.5 grams of HEC was added to the solution and stirred during which time 0.05 grams CaboSil 720, 0.10 grams of Avicel Cl-611F, and 0.125 grams of Vinac XX-210 were added. The mixture was homogenized, and the pH adjusted to 8.0.

Polymer dispense: A Biodot PixSys 3200 dispenser was used to dispense 2 uL of the mixture in the region downstream of the second chemical reaction zone, but before the electrical reaction zones. The test sensors were then dried at 45° C. for about 15 minutes.

A double antibody LH EIA has been previously described and validated for bottlenose dolphin urine (Robeck et al. 2005 (link)). Briefly, microtiter plates pre-treated with goat anti-mouse IgG (X12-1EA, Arbor Assays, Ann Arbor, MI) were blocked with 0.02 M Trizma buffer (Sigma–Aldrich) and incubated at room temperature overnight or up to 3 weeks. Plates were emptied, washed (0.02% Tween solution, Sigma–Aldrich) and neat urine (0.05–0.001 mL) and standards (bovine LH, NIH-LH-B10, AFP-5551B, National Institute of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA) were added to wells along with 0.1 mL of antibody (monoclonal anti-bovine LH, LH 518-B7, 1:600,000, J. Roser, UC Davis, CA, USA) and incubated at room temperature overnight. Biotinylated LH (1:1,500,000) was then added, and after another incubation (4 h, room temperature), the plates were washed and streptavidin peroxidase solution (1 µL in 24 mL assay buffer, Roche Diagnostics) was added. Following 40 min incubation, TMB substrate was added prior to a final incubation (45–60 min). A stopping solution was then added (0.6 M H2SO4) and the optical density was measured at 450 nm with a 655 nm reference filter. Intra-assay variation was <10% and inter-assay variation was 13.3 and 12% at 30 and 60% binding (n  = 35), respectively.

Axenic cultures of Synechococcus sp. WH7803 and phage S-PM2d (Myoviridae) were kindly provided by Dr. Martha Clokie (University of Leicester, UK). Synechococcus strain was maintained at 23°C under continuous light (20–23 μE m-2 s-1) on artificial seawater medium (ASW) containing per L: 25 g NaCl; 2 g MgCl2 x 6H2O; 0.5 g KCl; 0.75 g NaNO3; 0.002 g K2HPO4 x 3H2O; 3.5 g MgSO4 x 7H2O; 0.5 g CaCl2 x 2H2O; 1.1 g Trizma buffer (Sigma), and 1 mL trace metal solution containing per L: 2.86 g 1H3BO3; 1.81 g MnCl2 x 4H2O; 0.222 g ZnSO4x 7H2O; 0.39 g Na2MoO4 x 2H2O; 0.008 g CuSO4 x 5H2O; 0.0049 g Co(NO3)2 x 6H2O; 3.0 g FeCl3 x 6H2O and 0.5 g EDTA, as described in [16 (link),17 ] but with reduced phosphate concentration.
Clonal strain of the phage S-PM2d was cultured by picking a single plaque from a plaque assay and then re-suspending it in a liquid culture of Synechococcus sp. WH7803. The culture was spun down after host-lysis at 6000 rpm for 20 min to remove cell debris. The supernatant containing the phage particles (lysate) was then filtered (0.22 μm) to remove any remaining cells and stored at 4°C until addition into the chemostats.

The effect of photochemical crosslinking on the resistance of cartilage to degradation by collagenase was investigated. Osteochondral specimens were treated with one of the two selected crosslinking protocols or were left untreated (n = 5 for each protocol). Using a sledge microtome (HM 450 Richard Allan, Kalamazoo, MI) equipped with a freezing stage (Physitemp, Clifton, NJ), three 50 μm sections were taken starting from the articular surface of each specimen. Individual sections were incubated for 45 minutes at 37 °C in 0.5 ml of a 2 mg/ml solution of type I collagenase from Clostridium histolyticum in 50 mM Trizma buffer at pH 7.4 containing 10 mM CaCl2 (all from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO).11 (link),12 (link) To quantify the digested collagen, the digest solution for all sections were collected and assayed for HYP and the amount of digested collagen was estimated, as above.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for MMP-9 and MMP-2 in BM supernatant and plasma was performed using Quantikine ELISA kits (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN). Plates were read using Epoch7 96-well plate reader and the kinetic function on Gen5 software. Because of high cost and low availability of commercially prepared ELISA kits for neutrophil elastase in our species, an enzymatic assay of elastase (EC 3.4.1.36) (Sigma–Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) cleavage function was adapted for use in a 96-well plate with the following modifications: 10 µL of sample (BM supernatant or plasma), 120 µL of Trizma Buffer (12.1 mg/mL, pH 8.0 at 25°C) (Sigma–Aldrich), and 20 µL of N-succinyl-(Ala)3-p-nitroanilide substrate (2 mg/mL; Sigma–Aldrich) were used per well. The pathlength for 150 µL in the 96-well Flat Bottom plate (Becton Dickinson Labware, Franklin Lakes, NJ) was experimentally determined and used to correct the millimolar coefficient (for 1 cm pathlength) provided in the protocol defined as units per milliliter. All samples were run in duplicate.

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.
