Neuraminidase
from Clostridium perfringens (Sigma) was dissolved
in 1×
PBS, pH 7.4 at a final concentration of 10 U/mL. For neuraminidase
treatment CHO-K1PD1-high cells were harvested using
enzyme free cell dissociation buffer and were resuspended in DMEM/F12
medium without FBS, P/S and G418. Neuraminidase treatment was performed
in a total volume of 150 μL with a cell concentration of 1 ×
106 cells for 1h at 37 °C. After incubation cells
were centrifuged for 3 min at 1500×g and washed
1 time in labeling buffer. Subsequently, cells were labeled using
FITC-labeled lectin from Triticum vulgaris (Sigma)
at a concentration of 100 μg/mL for 30 min at 20 °C. The
labeled cells were centrifuged for 5 min at 1500×g, and the supernatant was removed. Directly prior to flow cytometry
or confocal microscopy, cells were resuspended in 200 μL of
labeling buffer.

The purified monomeric IgA1 fractions from the recruited 17 healthy individuals were pooled and digested with neuraminidase from Clostridium perfringens (Sigma, St Louis, MO USA), and h-galactosidase from bovine testis (Sigma, St Louis, MO USA) to obtain de-sialic acid/de-galactose IgA1 molecules (ddIgA1) as described before [27 (link)]. In brief, 1 mg monomeric IgA1 were dissolved in 0.2 M sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.0), and added with 0.08 U neuraminidase and 0.02 U h-galactosidase to remove both sialic acid and Galactose. After incubation at 37 °C for 18 h, the ddIgA1 were dialyzed against PBS and concentrated using Vivaspin.
For in-vitro preparation of IgG-deglycosylated IgA1 complexes, a mixture of ddIgA1 and IgG (1:5 mass ratio) were incubated at 4 °C for 48 h, and then separated by gel filtration chromatography using Sephcrl S300 to obtain IgG-deglycosylated IgA1 complexes. The IgG-deglycosylated IgA1 complexes were also dialyzed against PBS and concentrated for cell culture experiments.
Meanwhile, ddIgA1 were separated by gel filtration chromatography using Sephcrl S300 to obtain monomeric ddIgA1 (mddIgA1) and polymeric ddIgA1 (pddIgA1), both of which were used as controls to treat cultured mesangial cells.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To analyze binding of the soluble spike proteins of the strains QX and B1648, we incubated the soluble proteins on cryosections of the oviduct at 4 °C for 1 h. To test if binding is sialic acid dependent we incubated the cryosections with 300 mU neuraminidase from Clostridium perfringens (Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany) for 1 h at 37 °C before the incubation with the soluble proteins. Binding was detected with a secondary anti-human-Fc Cy-3 labeled antibody in a concentration of 1:750 (Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Huh7 and RLK cells grown in 96-well plates were washed twice with PBS
(ThermoFisher Scientific) and incubated with neuraminidase from
Clostridium perfringens (Sigma) diluted in FBS-free growth
medium at 37 °C for 3 h. After the incubation, the cells were washed three
times and challenged with MERS–S- or HKU9–S-pseudoviruses, with or
without pre-incubation with the GRP78 polyclonal antibody (Abcam) for 1 h at 37
°C. Fresh complete medium with 10% FBS was replaced at 18 h post-infection.
Pseudovirus entry was quantified using a microplate reader (Beckman DTX880) as
RLU at 72 h post-infection.

Cells were detached using Versene solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde (PFA; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and stained with mouse anti-TAG72 antibody [B72.3] (ab691; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) according with conditions previously described in Generation of an STn ESCC cell line topic. Mouse IgG1 [MOPC-21] isotype control (ab18443; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) was included as a negative control. In parallel, 106 cells were digested with 70 mU neuraminidase from Clostridium perfringens (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) in appropriate sodium acetate buffer at 37 °C overnight under mild agitation prior to STn staining, as a proper negative control. Data analysis was performed through CXP Software and results represent the standard deviation of three independent experiments performed in a FC500 Beckman Coulter flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter Life Sciences, Indianapolis, IN, USA).

Isolation and Characterization of Helicobacter bizzozeronii LPS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
LPS was extracted from biomass obtained after 48 h of incubation in BHI broth. Crude LPS was extracted by using the hot phenol-water method, and subsequent purification by enzymatic treatments (RNase A, DNase II and proteinase K) as described previously [6 (link)]. LPS were treated with Lysozyme to remove traces of peptidoglycan contamination [6 (link)]. After the enzymatic treatments, the LPS was precipitated at −20 °C overnight in 10 volumes of pure ethanol in presence of 0.03 M of sodium acetate and re-suspended in water and the concentration was then determined by purpald assay [20 (link)]. The LPS obtained was essentially free of proteins and nucleic acids, and it had an electrophoretic profile similar to that previously reported for the low-molecular-mass H. bizzozeronii LPS [11 (link)]. LPS was treated overnight with 6.7 U.mL−1 of neuraminidase from Clostridium perfringens (Sigma-Aldrich) at pH 6. LPS neuraminidase treated and untreated samples were loaded on 15% TRIS-Glycine SDS-PAGE (Biorad, Hercules, CA, US), run for 2 h and 50 min at constant 20 mA and then silver stained as previous described [11 (link)].

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.
