Plasma Generation and Matrices Comparison

Whole blood was centrifuged for 10 min at 3000 rcf (3000 g) for plasma generation. The matrix comparison experiment included four matrices, serum, heparin plasma, EDTA plasma and citrate plasma (S-Monovette® 5.5 mL Z, S-Monovette® 5.5 mL LH, S-Monovette® 9 mL K3E, S-Monovette® 5 mL 9NC; all: SARSTEDT AG&Co.KG, Nürmbrecht, Germany), whereas all experiments were conducted in heparin plasma. Plasma samples were aliquoted and stored at −80 °C until analysis.
The majority of experiments were conducted in anonymized residual research samples. Samples for the matrix comparison experiment (maximum 25 mL) were collected as part of quality control for biobanked blood samples. Blood samples were taken from patients of the Department of Cardiology during routine venipuncture or from healthy individuals after informed consent for blood collection for the Cardiovascular Biobank of the German Heart Centre Munich was obtained. The blood collection for biobanking was approved by the Ethics Commission of the Technical University Munich (Nr. 5943/13; 16 October 2013).

From each subject, 9 mL of peripheral blood was collected into a tube containing 0.5 M EDTA (S-Monovette® 9 mL K3E, Sarstedt, Germany). Plasma was separated from these samples by centrifugation (2000 g, 4°C, 10 min) within 60 minutes of collection, aliquoted (6 × 300 μL), and stored at −70°C until ELISA analysis. The remaining plasma was used for DNA isolation from leukocytes based on the modified salting-out method with proteinase K digestion of cells [31 (link)].
The biopsies from 23 patients with RE, BE, or EAC were collected only at the Department of Gastroenterology, University Hospital Brno, Czech Republic. Four biopsies were taken from each patient's esophagus during the endoscopic examination of the upper GIT. Two samples were collected from the part with endoscopically visible pathological changes and two from the part without such apparent changes. In this way, we acquired two pairs of samples, each pair containing one sample from the seemingly pathological and one from the seemingly healthy tissue. One pair was placed into 1.8 mL cryovials (SPL Life Sciences, Korea) with 1 mL of RNAlater™ Stabilization Solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and stored at −70°C until RNA extraction. The other pair was sent to the Department of Pathology, Faculty Hospital Brno, Czech Republic, for histopathological confirmation of the diagnosis.

Plasma Isolation and HLA Typing Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were lysed as previously described [30 (link)]. Plasma from donors was generated by drawing blood with EDTA tubes (S-Monovette 9 ml K3E, Sarstedt). Tubes were readily inverted, incubated for 30 min at RT and centrifuged at 2’000g for 10 min. Plasma was transferred into new vials, snap-frozen and stored at -80°C. After thawing, plasma was cleared by centrifugation at 3’345g for 5 min, 4°C prior to HLA purification. All donors were from the Department of Nephrology (Tenon Hospital Paris, France) and provided written informed consent for usage of plasma and clinical data for scientific purposes. Donors one and two were healthy volunteers, donors three and four were patients suffering from the rare kidney disease membranous nephropathy. This project was approved by the IRB/Ethics committee CPP Ile-de-France IV, Hôpital Saint-Louis, Paris (ethic vote 2013/03/14).
Volunteers were HLA typed by NGS technologies resulting in an unambiguous annotation of the A, B, C, DR and DQ alleles [Supporting Information Table 1].

Levels of IL-8 in plasma were measured in all 153 individuals at the Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University, Brno. The plasma samples were prepared from venous blood collected into a tube with EDTA (S-Monovette® 9 mL K3E, Sarstedt, Germany), separated by centrifugation (465× g, 4 °C, 10 min), and stored at −70 °C within 30 min of collection.
IL-8 plasma levels were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits [IL-8 Human Magnetic Kit for Luminex™ Platform (Catalog No. LHC0081M, Novex™, Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY, USA) with Human/Monkey Extracellular Protein Buffer Magnetic Reagent Kit (Catalog No. LHB0001M, Novex™, Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY, USA)] and software (Luminex 200TM analyzer with xPONENT 3.1 Software, Luminex Corporation, USA; MilliplexTM Analyst v 3.4 Software, VigeneTech, Carlisle, MA USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Those samples with IL-8 values under the limit of detection (<4.40 pg/mL) were arbitrarily assigned a value of 4.39 pg/mL for the statistical analysis.

9 ml blood was drawn in the morning between 7 and 9 am (S-Monovette 9 ml K3E, Sarstedt). Monocytes were immunomagnetically purified from whole blood with the MACS System (Miltenyi Biotec), shock frozen and stored at − 80 °C. Cell homogeneity was determined with the BD FACSCanto TM II Flow Cytometer (BD Biosciences), and showed high purity (98.3 ± 2.4% (SD). DNA was isolated with the AllPrep RNA/DNA Mini Kit (Qiagen, 80204).
5-HTTLPR polymorphism was analyzed as previously described46 (link). FKBP5 genotype of rs1360780 was evaluated using high resolution melt analysis (HRM; Biorad). Further information can be found in Supplementary Table S10.

Plasma samples of Control and AD cases were obtained from the biobank of the Universitätsmedizin Göttingen. The pseudonymized collection of biological samples and clinical data and their use in biomarker studies were approved by the ethics committee of the University Medical Center Goettingen (approval 9/2/16). All subjects or their legal representatives gave their informed consent prior to inclusion. Biomaterial sampling and data collection were conducted according to the revised Declaration of Helsinki and good clinical practice guidelines.
Plasma was collected in EDTA Monovettes (S-Monovette 9 mL K3E; Sarstedt, Nümbrecht, Germany), centrifuged at 2000× g for 10 min, at room temperature (RT), to obtain EDTA blood plasma. Samples were aliquoted and stored at −80 °C. The Controls group included 15 age-matched individuals with a mean age of 65.60 ± 9.36 years, and the AD group comprised 15 individuals with a mean age of 67.00 ± 9.82 years (p-value = 0.69). AD diagnosis followed the 2011 McKhann criteria and included cognitive testing (Mini-Mental State Examination and Clock-Drawing Test), CSF neurochemical biomarker triplet assessment, and/or PET scan imaging.

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.
