Striatal DA was estimated using the Rat Dopamine ELISA kit (USCN Life Science Inc., Wuhan, China). Similarly, TNF-α was assayed using a commercial ELISA assay kit (USCN Life Science Inc., Wuhan, China). A rat IL-1βsolid-phase Sandwich ELISA (Nawah, Egypt) was used for the analysis of IL-1β. All procedures were carried out according to the manufacturers' instructions. In brief, samples (diluted 1 : 2) were added in triplicate to the microtiter plate wells coated with the antibody specific to DA or TNF-α, and the plates were incubated for 2 h at 37°C. After removing the unbound substances from each well, a biotin-conjugated antibody was added to the wells, and the plates were incubated for 1 h at 37°C. After washing, wells were incubated with an avidin-conjugated HRP for 30 min at 37°C. Finally, a stop solution was added to stop the reaction, and the color changes were quantified at 450 nm using the BioTek ELisa Reader ELx808. The results were expressed as pg/mg protein.

Stored plasma samples from all 4 timepoints were thawed and analyzed in batch. Commercially available ELISA kits were used to determine the plasma concentrations of soluble CD14 (sCD14; R&D, Minneapolis, MN), soluble CD163 (sCD163; R&D), interleukin 6 (IL-6; R&D), interferon gamma-induced protein 10 (IP-10; R&D), and C-reactive protein (CRP; R&D) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Duplicates of 20% of the samples were included in each ELISA plate. Results were analyzed using an ELX808 ELISA reader (Biotek, Vinooski, VT) using Gen5 software v2.06.

Quantifying Apoptosis with ELISA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A Cellular DNA Fragmentation ELISA Kit (11585045001; Roche Applied Science, CH) was used to measure cytoplasmic histone-associated DNA fragments, which reflect the percentage of apoptotic cells.26 (link) This assay is based on the quantitative detection of BrdU-labelled DNA fragments. Using camptothecin (50 μM, 24 h) as a positive control, the optimal apoptotic response was detected after administration. These methods were then applied to evaluate the proportion of apoptotic cells after treatment with APS in the presence or absence of adriamycin (0.1 µg/mL) for 24 and 48 h. DNA fragmentation was determined according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Absorbance values at 450 nm were measured with an ELx808 ELISA reader (BioTek).

THP1-Blue NF-κB cells were infected as described above and cultured for 24 h at 37 °C. Then 20 µl of culture supernatant from each well were mixed with 200 µl of QUANTI-Blue alkaline phosphatase detection medium (InvivoGen), following the manufacturer’s instructions, in a 96-well flat bottomed Maxi-Sorb (Nunc) ELISA plate and incubated for 4 h at 37 °C. Absorbance at 630 nm was measured on an ELx808 ELISA reader (BioTek).

Cytokine production was measured in supernatants from the T cell–mediated cytotoxicity assays. A U-PLEX Proinflam Combo 1 (hu) multiplex assay (K15049K; MeSo Scale Discovery), custom-made combined U multiplex (MSD, K15067M-2) and R-plex assay (MIG [MSD, F210I-3] and GZMB [MSD, F213X-3]) and a Luminex assay (Milliplex MAP – human cytokine/TH17 panel [SPR1459; Millipore Sigma]) were used essentially according to manufacturer’s instructions. Perforin and GZMB release were analyzed by ELISA using the human Perforin ELISA development kit (3465-1H-6; MabTech) and the human GZMB DuoSet ELISA kit (DY2906-5; R&D Systems), according to manufacturer’s instructions. Absorbance was measured at 450 nm with an ELISA plate reader (ELx808 ELISA Reader; Biotek Instruments).

Total Ig: Serum from unimmunized mice was analyzed for total IgM, IgG1, IgG2c, IgG3, and IgA levels using the SBA Clonotyping System (Southern Biotech) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. anti-NP Ig: 1:100, 1:400, or 1:1600 dilutions of serum in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) + 0.1% BSA + 0.05% Tween-20 were incubated on Corning® Costar® 96-well flat bottomed plates (Thomas Scientific Holdings LLC) that were previously coated with 25 ug/ml NP>25-BSA or NP8-BSA (Biosearch Technlogies). After washing with PBS + 0.1%BSA + 0.05% Tween-20, wells were incubated with 2 ug/ml alkaline phosphatase labeled anti-IgM, IgG3, or IgG (Southern Biotech). Plates were again washed with PBS + 0.1% BSA + 0.05% Tween-20 and incubated with alkaline phosphatase substrate (Biorad). In all cases, OD405 was measured using an ELx808 ELISA reader (BioTek Instruments, Inc).

A Cellular DNA Fragmentation ELISA kit (Roche Applied Science; cat. no. 11585045001) was used according to the manufacturer's instructions. This assay is based on the quantitative detection of 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU)-labeled DNA fragments. Cells were seeded at a density of 1×105 cells/well in 96-well plates. After 24 h of growth, cells were exposed to different treatments. Subsequently, 10 µM BrdU was added to each well, and the cells were cultured with BrdU for 24 h. The complexes were centrifuged at ~250 × g for 10 min at 4°C, the supernatant carefully removed. After DNA labelling, the cells were lysed in 200 µl incubation buffer and soluble DNA fragments were quantified using the Cellular DNA Fragmentation ELISA kit, according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cells were plated in a 96-well plate at a density of 1×105 cells/well for 24 h. Different concentrations of TP and andrographolide were applied either separately or in combination. Co-treatment was performed by adding the two compounds simultaneously on cells for 24 h. Pretreatment was performed by exposing the cells to andrographolide for 24 h followed by TP treatment for another 24 h. RPMI alone was added to the control cells. WST-1 (Roche) and XTT (Sigma Aldrich) reagents were used, according to the manufacturer’s guide (10 µL of WST-1 reagent was added to each well while 40 µL of XTT was added to each well), to detect cell proliferation. Cell proliferation was assessed by recording the absorbance at a wavelength of 450 nm (using a Biotek ELx808 ELISA reader), which reflects the amount of formazan dye produced by metabolically active cells.

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.
