Collecting Blood and Placental Samples

Blood samples were collected at the time of delivery. A total of 5 ml venous blood was drawn in S-Monovette serum-gel tubes (Sarstedt, Germany). The samples were centrifuged at 1000 g for 10 min at 4 °C. The supernatant serum was transferred in aliquots to 1.5 ml Eppendorf tubes and frozen at − 80 °C until analysed.
Placental tissues were obtained within 15 min after delivery. Samples (approximately 1 cm
3each) were dissected from three different sites of the maternal side under aseptic conditions. Biopsy cores were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and further stored at − 80 °C until analysis.

At the end of the 10-month study period, blood was drawn by heart puncture under deep isoflurane anaesthesia (Forane, Abbott, Austria). Also for the baseline animals, the blood was collected only once at the time of sacrification. Blood and plasma were collected using S-Monovette Serum-Gel tubes and S-Monovette Plasma-EDTA tubes (Sarstedt, Nümbrecht, Germany), respectively. Samples were centrifuged at 2000 g for 12 min at room temperature, aliquoted and stored at − 80 °C until the analysis. Blood collections and consequently serum analyses were performed in a non-fasting state.

Antibody Response in BNT162b2 Vaccinated

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood samples of fully BNT162b2 vaccinated individuals (n=5, three females, two males, age range 27-61 years, average age 42.2 years) were obtained after the participants information and written consent. Samples were collected 13−30 days after the second vaccination using S-Monovette Serum Gel tubes (Sarstedt). Before use, the serum was heat-treated at 56 °C for 30 min. Ulm University Medical Center Employees who were vaccinated twice, had no indication of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection and expressed interest in participating were included the present study. There were no further inclusion/exclusion parameters. Ethics approval was provided by the Ethic Committee of Ulm University (vote 99/21– FSt/Sta).

Blood and CSF Collection Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
From each patient, venous blood was drawn in the morning between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. into S-Monovette® Serum-Gel Tubes (Sarstedt, Nümbrecht, Germany) and Tempus™ Blood RNA Tubes (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). For the collection of sera, whole blood was left to clot for 30 min at room temperature and later centrifuged for 10 min at 1200 g. Supernatant was aliquoted and stored at -20°C until further analysis. Tempus™ Blood RNA Tubes were immediately shaken for 30 s to lyse the cells and stabilize the RNA and stored at -80°C until extraction.
CSF samples were obtained after a lumbar puncture at the L4/5 level. The amount of CSF taken varied between 10-15 ml. Samples of 2 ml were aliquoted and subsequently stored at -20 °C.

Standardized Blood Collection and Metabolic Profiling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In KORA, blood was drawn into S-Monovette® serum gel tubes (SARSTEDT AG & Co., Nümbrecht, Germany) in the morning between 8:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. after a fasting period of at least eight hours [17 (link)]. Blood samples were processed according to standard procedures. The samples were stored at −195.79 °C in liquid nitrogen until the execution of metabolic analyses. Details were reported in previous publications [11 (link),17 (link)].
In CARLA, metabolic profiles in the blood serum of the study participants were measured. Blood samples were taken after a supine rest of 30 min. Followed by a 10 min centrifugation (20 °C, 1500 revolutions per min), the samples was collected and deep frozen to −80 °C on the same day until analysis of the metabolites [45 (link)].

SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Response in Vaccinated

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sera from individuals vaccinated with BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine BNT162b2 were obtained 13-15 days after the second dose. The study was approved by the Ethic committee of Ulm university (vote 31/21 – FSt/Sta). Collection of plasma samples from COVID-19 patients treated at the intensive care unit was approved by the Ethic committee of the University Medicine Göttingen (SeptImmun Study 25/4/19 Ü). For collection of plasma, Cell Preparation Tube (CPT) vacutainers with sodium citrate were used and plasma was collected as supernatant over the PBMC layer. For vaccinated patients, blood was collected in S-Monovette® Serum Gel tubes (Sarstedt). Subsequently, the plasma and serum samples were incubated at 56°C for 30 min to inactivate putative infectious virus. For convalescent plasma, pre-screening for detection of neutralizing activity was performed on Vero76 cells using SARS-2-S- and VSV-G bearing pseudotypes as control, normalized for equal infectivity.

Blood Sample Collection and PBMC Isolation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We obtained approximately 30 ml of blood in S-Monovette K3 EDTA tubes and 7 ml in S-Monovette Serum-Gel tubes (Sarstedt). All samples were collected in the morning (8:00 a.m.). PBMCs were then isolated using a Ficoll–Hypaque gradient as described (17 (link)), aliquoted in RPMI containing 10% DMSO and 25% FCS at 1 × 107 cells/ml, gradually cooled down to −80°C in a Mr. Frosty for 18 h and stored in liquid nitrogen until assayed. A small amount of whole blood (50 µl) was used for total and differential leukocyte counts using a Coulter Ac·T Diff hematology analyzer (Beckman Coulter). All other assays were performed using cryopreserved PBMCs or serum with one subject from each group run in parallel to control systematic variation in reagents used.

Blood samples of ChAdOx1-nCoV-19/ BNT162b2/ BNT162b2 and BNT162b2/ BNT162b2/ BNT162b2 vaccinated non-convalescent individuals were obtained after the participants information and written consent. Samples were collected 11–15 days after the third dose using S-Monovette Serum Gel tubes (Sarstedt). Before use, the serum was heat-treated at (56 °C, 30 min). Ethics approval was given by the Ethics Committee of Ulm University (vote 99/21– FSt/Sta). All ethical regulations relevant to human research participants were followed.

At the end of the 10-months study protocol, blood was drawn by heart puncture under deep isoflurane anesthesia (Forane, Abbott, Austria). Blood and plasma were collected using S-Monovette Serum-Gel tubes and S-Monovette Plasma-EDTA tubes (Sarstedt, Nümbrecht, Germany), respectively. Blood collection was performed in a non-fasting state. From 10 animals per group, the base and mid-ventricular portion of the myocardium were formalin-fixed for 24 h and stored in EtOH at 4°C until analysis. The samples have been rehydrated overnight in PBS at 4°C before sectioning. The apical portion of the ventricles was snap frozen from all animals and stored at −80°C for subsequent molecular analyses.

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.
