Proteins were extracted with the CERAPHA kits and quantified as above. Twenty µg of protein from each sample was mixed 3:1 with 3x loading buffer (1M Tris-HCl pH 6.8, 20% SDS, 100% glycerol, β-mercaptoethanol and bromophenol blue) and boiled for 5min. Samples were loaded onto NuSep Tris-HEPES NH 12% precast gels and run at 110V for approximately 60min. Proteins were transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane and probed using polyclonal antibody raised against selected wheat peptides showing strong distinctive antigenic capacity against TaAMY1, TaAMY2, and TaAMY3 (Genscript, USA). The antigen–antibody complexes were visualized by chemiluminescence (Sigma-Aldrich). The three polyclonal antibodies showed similar affinity for the same concentration of their respective peptides at the used dilution (1/2000).

Overnight cultures were diluted to OD600 of ~0.02 in media with 0.2% arabinose with 75 µg/mL gentamicin. Culture density was monitored by OD600. At OD600 ~1.5, cells were collected by centrifugation and resuspended in 1/15 vol of 1x PBS. Proteins were immediately precipitated by a modified MeOH/CHCl3 procedure (sample/MeOH/CHCl3: 1/1/0.25 [Wessel and Flügge, 1984 (link)]). Samples were separated on 12% SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF membranes and blocked with Tris buffered saline (50 mM Tris, pH7.4, 200 mM NaCl) with 5% non-fat milk. HA-tags were detected using mouse anti-HA (Sigma H9658) and goat anti-mouse IgG-HRP conjugate (Sigma A9917). HRP signal was developed using chemiluminescence per manufacture protocol (Sigma).

The intracellular production of O2 in EBV-B cells was assessed by chemiluminescence (Sigma-Aldrich; van de Geer et al., 2018 (link)). We stimulated 5 × 105 cells with PMA (400 ng/ml) or heat-killed S. aureus cells (Pansorbin, 2 mg/ml; Sigma-Aldrich) and light production was monitored every 5 min with a Victor X4 plate reader. NADPH oxidase activity was assessed in EBV-B cells, MDMs, and MDDCs by measuring extracellular H2O2 release with an Amplex Red Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific), as previously described (van de Geer et al., 2018 (link); Bustamante et al., 2011 (link); Conti et al., 2015 (link)). In brief, 3 × 104 cells were stimulated with PMA (400 ng/ml), and H2O2 release was quantified with a Victor X4 plate reader (PerkinElmer). MDMs or MDDCs were cultured for 16 to 18 h before the experiment, in the presence of 5 × 103 IU/ml IFN-γ (Imukin, Boehringer Ingelheim) or 1 µg/ml LPS (Salmonella minnesota; Sigma-Aldrich), respectively. ROS production by neutrophils and monocytes was quantified with the Burstest (Phagoburst kit; BD) containing PMA and opsonized E. coli bacteria. The assay was performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and the amount of rhodamine 123 (mean fluorescence intensity) was assessed by flow cytometry with a Gallios FACS Analyzer. DHR oxidation is expressed as a percentage of the rhodamine 123 produced by the corresponding travel controls.

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.
