Quantifying Endotoxin in SDVG Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two SDVGs (6 cm in length) were cut into 4mm2 pieces and incubated in separate 15 mL conical tubes with 1 mL of 1× PBS, pH 7.4, at 37 °C for 24 h. An Endosafe® endotoxin testing system (Endosafe®-PTS, Charles River, USA) was conducted using the 1× PBS supernatant after centrifugation (500 × g for 5 min) and dilution (1:20) in sterile and endotoxin-free dH2O. The concentration of endotoxin in the eluent (1× PBS) was quantified using the Endosafe® LAL Cartridges (#PTS2005F, Charles River, USA) and the portable system Endosafe®-PTS (Charles River, USA) and expressed in EU mL−1.

Detecting Mycoplasma and Endotoxins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The detection of non-cellular impurities was carried out in accordance with the methodology recommendations of Chapter 2.6.21 and 2.6.7 of the European Pharmacopeia (Eu Ph) for mycoplasma and Chapter 2.6.14 for endotoxins. A DNA-binding dye-based qPCR system was employed for the detection of mycoplasma DNA in cell cultures. The assay was developed by the Genomics Unit in collaboration with the Monoclonal Antibodies Unit, both from CNIO, to detect 16s rRNA gene sequences from up to 70 Mollicutes species. Both specificity and sensitivity were extensively tested through benchmarking with established commercial systems (MTC-NI System, Millipore/GEN-PROBE Cat. No. 4573 and MycoAlert™ PLUS Mycoplasma Detection Kit, Lonza Cat. No. LT07-705). The Clinical Microbiology and Parasitology Service of HULP carried out the endotoxin test Endosafe-PTS (Charles River) to quantify endotoxin levels at day +8 and in final products.

Polysialic Acid Characterization Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
During cultivation, downstream processing and for the final characterization of the product several analysis were performed. The polySia concentration was measured with a modified thiobarbituric acid assay, protein concentration was determined by the Bradford method, DNA concentration by UV–vis absorption (NanoDrop 2000, Thermo Scientific, Waltham, USA), endotoxin concentration with Endosafe-PTS™ system (Endosafe-PTS™, Charles River Laboratories, Boston, USA) and the chain length characterization with DMB-HPLC analysis (DMB = 1,2-diamino-4,5-methylenedioxybenzene). Cell disruption was performed with ultrasonic treatment. All methods were performed as previously reported [11 ].

Recombinant Tc24 and TSA-1 Protein Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The recombinant protein Tc24 (24.7 kDa) was expressed and purified as previously described [23 (link)]. Briefly, the Tc24 coding sequence subcloned into the yeast expression vector pPICZα was used for expression in Pichia pastoris X-33 and the recombinant protein was purified by affinity chromatography. For TSA-1, the coding sequence was subcloned into E. coli expression vector pET41a and purification was achieved by Ni-affinity chromatography under denaturing condition and then refolded by size exclusion chromatography. Endotoxin levels were measured with the Charles River Endosafe-PTS. The integrity and size of the recombinant proteins were analyzed by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis following purification and just before use, after storage at -80° C.

Purification and Characterization of Recombinant HA-NP Nanoparticles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The SIB-0002 mammalian expression plasmid [13 (link)] containing the A/New Caledonia/20/1999 (NC99) HA-NP gene was transfected into Expi293F cells per manufacturer’s protocol (Thermo), and supernatant was harvested five to six days later. HA-NPs were purified by anion exchange chromatography with an HP-Q column (GE Healthcare) followed by size exclusion chromatography (SEC, Superose 6 16/70 column, GE Healthcare). Correct assembly and size were confirmed by SEC retention volume, SDS-PAGE, and dynamic light scattering (DLS, Wyatt DynaPro Plate Reader II). Endotoxin levels were measured by Endosafe PTS with LAL cartridges (Charles River Laboratories).

Quantifying Endotoxin Levels by PTS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The vehicle control, VYC-15L fragments and HYC-24L + fragments were quantified by Endosafe PTS (Charles River). The Endosafe®-PTS (Portable Test System) is a rapid, point-of-use test system, which is comprised of a test cartridge along with a hand-held spectrophotometer. For this test, we used cartridge with 0.01 EU/ml sensitivity (PTS2001F). All experiments were carried out according to the manufacturer's instructions.

HA powder was opportunely dissolved in pyrogen free water. Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) test was performed to measure the amount of pyrogens (bacterial endotoxins) in the solution. ENDOSAFE®-PTS cartridge US License N.1197 by Charles River Endosafe was used. All operations were performed under conditions avoiding endotoxin contamination. Results were reported as endotoxin units (EU/mg) of HA powder.

Contaminating endotoxin levels in the final GRFT product purified at industrial pilot scale was analyzed with Charles River Laboratory Endosafe® PTS. Twenty-five μL of GRFT solution was added to each of the four wells on a Limulus Amebocyte Lysate Test cartridge and the endotoxin levels were analyzed accordingly.

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.
