Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The capacity of sEC1-2 mutants to compete with the binding of sEC1-2(WT) to rVSVs, bearing ANDV or SNV Gn/Gc, was determined by a competition capture ELISA. High-protein binding 96-well ELISA plates (Corning) were coated with purified sEC1-2 (100 ng/well) overnight at 4 °C, washed briefly with PBS, and blocked with 5% nonfat dry milk in PBS (1 h at RT). Pre-titrated amounts of rVSV-ANDV-Gn/Gc and rVSV-SNV-Gn/Gc, were membrane-labeled with a short-chain phospholipid probe, functional-component spacer diacyl lipid conjugated to biotin (FSL-biotin (5 µg/mL); Sigma-Aldrich) for 1 h at 37 °C. The rVSVs were pre-incubated with serial 2x- or 3x-diluted sEC1-2(WT or variants) for 1 h at RT prior to their incubation with sEC1-2 coated wells (1 h at 37 °C). Bound rVSVs were detected by incubation with PierceTM High Sensitivity Streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugate (1:10,000 dilution, Thermo Scientific). ELISA signal was developed using 1-StepTM Ultra TMB-ELISA substrate solution (Thermo Scientific) and measured at an absorbance at 450 nm on a Perkin Elmer Wallac 1420 Victor2TM microplate reader or Cytation5 cell imaging multi-mode reader (Agilent BioTek Gen5 Microplate Reader and Imager software, V.3.2).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The viral lipid envelopes of rVSV-EBOV GP particles were labeled with biotin using a function-spacer-lipid construct (FSL-biotin) (Sigma-Aldrich) for 1 hr at pH 7.5 and 37°C, as described (Ng et al., 2014 ). Biotinylated viral particles bearing GPCL were generated by incubation with thermolysin, and then captured onto high-binding 96-well ELISA plates precoated with recombinant streptavidin (0.65 μg/mL; Sigma-Aldrich). Plates were then blocked with PBSA, and incubated with serial dilutions of test mAbs. Washed plates were then incubated with a pre-titrated concentration of soluble, FLAG epitope-tagged, NPC1 domain C (NPC1–C) protein (Bornholdt et al., 2016a (link)), and bound NPC1–C was detected with an anti-FLAG antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (Sigma-Aldrich). All incubations were performed for 1 hr at 37°C.

Quantifying Antibody-Mediated NPC1 Binding

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Thermolysin cleaved VSV-GP (rVSV-GPCL) was incubated with a functional-spacer-lipid reagent conjugated to biotin (FSL-biotin, Sigma) to allow incorporation into viral membrane, and the resulting biotinylated viral particles were then captured onto streptavidin coated plates, as described previously (Ng et al., 2014 ). Plates were then washed and blocked with 3% BSA-PBS buffer. Serial dilutions of antibodies were added to virus-coated plates, and after washing, soluble flag-tagged NPC1 domain C protein (2 nM) was added to each well. Plates were washed and the extent of NPC1 binding to rVSV-GPCL was detected using an anti-FLAG-HRP antibody conjugate. All incubations were performed for 1 hour at 37°C. Binding was expressed as percent of the maximal binding signal obtained with no-antibody control.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The viral envelope of rVSV-EBOV GP virions were labeled with biotin using a function-spacer-lipid construct (FSL-biotin) (Sigma-Aldrich) at neutral pH for 1 hour at 37°C, as described previously (Ng et al., 2014 ). The labeled virus stock was then acidified to pH ~5.5 by addition of 10X 2-[N-morpholino]ethanesulfonic acid (MES) buffer. Virions were diluted and aliquoted into a PCR plate. Biotin-labeled virions were pre-incubated with 1000 nM of test antibody for 1 hour at 37°C at pH 5.5. Virion-antibody complexes were then subjected to proteolysis by recombinant human Cathepsin L (R&D Systems) at 4 ng/μL for 30 minutes at 37°C. The reaction was stopped by the addition of E64 inhibitor (Peptides International) followed by dilution into 1X PBS buffer, pH 7.4. Samples were analyzed by western blot using h21D10 monoclonal antibody (Holtsberg et al., 2015 (link)) directly conjugated to horseradish peroxidase.

PUUV Glycoprotein Binding Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
High-protein-binding 96-well ELISA plates (Corning) were coated with purified human mAbs (40 ng per well, ‘first mAb’) at 37°C and blocked with 3% (w/v) bovine serum albumin (BSA; Thermo Fisher) in PBS. The membranes of rVSV-PUUV-Gn/Gc particles were labelled with a short-chain phospholipid probe, functional-component spacer diacyl lipid conjugated to biotin (FSL-biotin, Sigma-Aldrich), as described (30 (link)). Subsequently, pre-titrated amounts of biotin-labeled rVSVs were incubated with purified human mAb (100 nM, ‘second mAb’) for 1 h at 37°C before their addition to mAb-coated plates. Bound rVSV-PUUV-Gn/Gc was detected by incubation with a streptavidin-HRP conjugate (Thermo Scientific). Competition levels were determined by reduction of rVSV binding in presence of a competitor mAb compared to rVSV binding in the absence of competition (rVSV complexed with human IgG1 [Sigma-Aldrich]). Antibodies with >75% reduction of rVSV binding were considered to be in competition with pre-complexed mAbs.

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.
