MAY-115 and MAY-134 variable regions were sequenced and cloned using previously described methods (Ho et al., 2016 (link)). Total RNA was isolated from hybridomas, and cDNA was produced using random hexamers and Oligo(dT)20 using a SuperScript IV First Strand Synthesis kit (Invitrogen). Heavy and light chain variable regions were amplified and sequenced using mouse-specific primer sets (Ho et al., 2016 (link)). Allele-specific primers were used to amplify variable regions and append Gibson assembly sequences to the 5′ and 3′ ends. The variable regions then were cloned into plasmids containing the constant regions of human IgG1 (pAbVec-hIgG1) or mouse IgG1 (pAbVec-mIgG1) or the appropriate kappa chain (pAbVec-hIgKappa or pAbVect-mIgKappa) using NEBuilder (New England Biolabs). The human IgG1-N297Q vector was produced by site-directed mutagenesis of the human IgG1 vector using a Phusion site-directed mutagenesis kit. Antibodies were produced by cotransfecting Expi293 cells with an appropriate heavy and kappa chain plasmid using Hype5 transfection reagent (Oz Biosciences). 4 d after transfection, supernatant was collected and mAbs were purified on a Protein A Agarose column (Pierce).

Tissue samples for gene expression analysis were stored at 4°C for 24 hours then transferred to a −80°C freezer until processed for qPCR. One half of the biopsy samples were extracted using the Qiagen RNeasy 96 kit, after bead-beating in the Qiagen TissueLyser II using a 5 mm Zirconium Oxide bead. RNA quality was measured on the Agilent BioAnalyzer 2100, cDNA was synthesized using the Invitrogen SuperScript IV First Strand Synthesis kit and 8 μL RNA was used for each reaction. The samples were reacted with the Taqman Fast Advance Master Mix. Real time PCR was performed with the following Taqman probes (ThermoFisher, Carlsbad, CA) GAPDH as housekeeping gene, TNF-α and NOS2 for inflammation and ARG1 and IL10 for remodeling (see probes in Table 2). Samples were analyzed by the 2−ΔΔCT method.

Viral RNA was extracted from 140 µL of heat-inactivated (30 minutes at 95°C, as part of the protocol detailed in Ranoa et al. [9 (link)]) saliva samples using the QIAamp viral RNA mini kit (QIAGEN); 100 ng of viral RNA was used to generate cDNA using the SuperScript IV first strand synthesis kit (Invitrogen). Viral cDNA was then used to generate sequencing libraries using the Swift SNAP Amplicon SARS CoV2 kit with an additional coverage panel and unique dual indexing (Swift Biosciences), which were sequenced on an Illumina Novaseq SP lane. Data were run through the nf-core/viralrecon workflow (https://nf-co.re/viralrecon/1.1.0) using the Wuhan-Hu-1 reference genome (NCBI accession NC_045512.2). Swift, version 2, primer sequences were trimmed before variant analysis from iVar, version 1.3.1 (https://genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13059-018-1618-7), retaining all calls with a minimum allele frequency of 0.01 and higher. Viral lineages were called using the Pangolin tool (https://github.com/cov-lineages/pangolin), version 2.4.2, pango, version 1.2.6, and the 5/19/21 version of the pangoLEARN model.

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.
