Rabbit Reticulocyte Lysate (RRL, Promega L416A) or Transdirect Insect Cell Extract (Shimadzu 292-30000-91) from Spodoptera frugiperda ovary Sf21 cells was used, in accordance with each manufacturer's protocol. The final reaction concentrations for potassium, magnesium, and template RNA were adjusted to 150 or 100 mM, 1.1 mM, and 0.03 µg/µL (RRL) or 0.3 µg/µL (Sf21), respectively. Products were labeled with L-[35S]-methionine (Perkin-Elmer, NEG709A) and separated by SDS-PAGE, as described previously (Kamoshita et al. 1997 (link)). Radioactivities of polypeptides on the images scanned with a Typhoon 9410 Imager (GE Healthcare) were measured as volume values V of photo-stimulated luminescence (PSL) in ImageQuant TL software (GE Healthcare). When polypeptides with different lengths were compared, the PSL value was divided by the number of methionine residues in each polypeptide. Readthrough efficiency of certain mRNA was calculated as (VRT/nRT)/(VRT/nRT + VRLuc/nRLuc), where VX and nX represent the PSL V value and the number of methionine residues, respectively, for translated polypeptide X, where polypeptide X is either RT (stop codon readthrough) or RLuc (Renilla luciferase). IRES activity was calculated as (VFLuc/nFLuc)/(VRLuc/nRLuc).

PCR products were generated using 3XFlag-CRP (Extended Data Table 1) as template with reverse primer either containing a stop codon (3XFlag-CRPStop), or lacking a stop codon but with a 30 nucleotide polyT extension (3XFlag-CRPNSKn). PCR products were transcribed and translated in vitro using TnT T7 Quick rabbit reticulocyte lysate (Promega, # L5540) in the presence of radioactive methionine (Perkin Elmer, #NEG709A). Reactions were typically for 30 mins at 30°C, at which time recombinant proteins were added for another 10 mins. Aliquots were resolved by SDS-PAGE, and dried gels were either exposed to film or to a PhosphorImager screen.

Coupled transcription/translation reactions were carried out per the manufacturer’s instructions (L1170; Promega). Briefly, rabbit reticulocyte lysate was incubated with 1 μg of the appropriate expression plasmid and 2 ml of [35S]l-methionine (1,000 Ci/mMol at 10 mCi/ml) (NEG709A; Perkin Elmer) for 90 min at room temperature. Reaction mixtures were diluted in 1 ml of 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 10 mM NaCl, and 1 mM dithiothreitol (DTT). A volume of 100 μl of DEAE-Sepharose (DFF100; Millipore Sigma) slurry was added to the reaction mixtures and incubated on a nutator for 30 min at room temperature.

A DNA plasmid containing full-length cDNA sequence with a Flag-Myc tag (Origene #RC221091) was verified by Sanger sequencing and used as template in T7-promoter-based in vitro transcription/translation reactions (Promega, #L1170) using [S35]-methionine (Perkin Elmer, #NEG709A). IFN-α2 protein was column-purified using Nap-5 columns (GE Healthcare, #17-0853-01), incubated with 2.5μl serum, 2.5μl plasma, or 1μl anti-myc positive control antibody (Cell Signal, #2272), and immunoprecipitated with Sephadex protein A/G beads (Sigma Aldrich, #GE17-5280-02 and #GE17-0618-05, 4:1 ratio) in 96-well polyvinylidene difluoride filtration plates (Corning, #EK-680860). The radioactive counts (cpms) of immunoprecipitated protein was quantified using a 96-well Microbeta Trilux liquid scintillation plate reader (Perkin Elmer). Antibody index for each sample was calculated as follows: (sample cpm value – mean blank cpm value) / (positive control antibody cpm value – mean blank cpm value). For the COVID-19 patient and convalescent plasma cohorts, a positive signal was defined as greater than 6 standard deviations above the mean of pre-COVID-19 blood bank non-inflammatory controls. For the large asymptomatic San Francisco community population cohort, a positive signal was defined as having a z-score greater than 3.3 (p=0.0005) relative to the whole cohort.

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.
