Tmb substrate kit

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

The TMB substrate kit is a laboratory reagent used for the detection and quantification of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). It contains a chromogenic substrate, 3,3',5,5'-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), which undergoes a color change in the presence of an enzyme, enabling the visualization and measurement of the target analyte.

Microtiter plates (Costar 3690) were incubated with coating antigen BSA-KET in PBS (5 μg/mL, 25 μL) (18 h, 37 °C). 5% Non-fat milk in PBS (30 min, 37 °C) was added to block non-specific binding. Mouse sera in 5% non-fat milk were serially diluted across the plate before incubation in a moist chamber (1 h, 37 °C). The plate was washed 20 times with PBS before incubation with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated donkey anti-mouse IgG in a moist chamber (30 min, 37 °C). The plate was further washed 20 times with PBS before being developed with the TMB substrate kit (Thermo Pierce) and the absorbance at 450 nm measured on a microplate reader (SpectraMax Devices). Titers were calculated as the dilution corresponding to 50% of the maximum absorbance from a plot of the absorbance versus log(dilution) using GraphPad Prism 9. Sera were pooled across biological samples from each group, and all studies were completed in at least technical triplicate for each time-point.

Microtiter plates (Costar 3690) were
incubated with coating antigen, hapten-BSA, 5 μg/mL, 25 μL/well
at 4 °C overnight. The plates were then blocked by 5% nonfat
milk in PBS, 50 μL/well, at room temperature for 45 min to get
rid of nonspecific binding. The blocking buffer was dumped out. Mouse
sera were diluted 1:100 in 1% BSA PBS solution. When titering, 25
μL of mouse serum was serially diluted 1:1 in 1% BSA PBS buffer
(pH 7.4) across 12 columns starting at 1:200. The plates were incubated
in a moist chamber at 37 °C for 2 h followed by washing 10 times
using a shower head with dH2O before adding secondary antibodies.
Peroxidase-conjugated donkey antimouse IgG (Jackson ImmunoResearch
Laboratories, Inc.; Catalog # 715-035-151) was diluted 1:10 000
for ELISA according to the instructions. Secondary antibodies were
added at 25 μL/well, and the plates were incubated in a moist
chamber at 37 °C for 1 h. The plates were further washed 10 times
with dH2O. Each well was treated with 50 μL of developing
reagent, TMB substrate kit (Thermo Pierce), waiting for blue color
to develop over 10 min before being quenched by 50 μL of 2 M
H2SO4. Absorbance was read on a microplate reader
(SpectraMax M2e Molecular Devices) at 450 nm. In GraphPad PRISM 8,
absorbance values were fit using the log (inhibitor) vs normalized
response–variable slope equation to determine midpoint titer.

Antibody Titer and Competitive ELISA

Rats were anesthetized with an isoflurane/oxygen vapor mixture (isoflurane 5% induction, 1–3% maintenance), and blood was collected from the jugular vein during Weeks 1–6, and 10. Antibody titer was defined by the dilution required to achieve a 50% signal using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with a Biomek 4000 liquid handling robot. 96-well assay plates were coated with 25 µg/well cathinone-BSA conjugate and blocked with skim milk. Twelve 1:1 rat plasma dilutions were added to the plate starting at 1:200 and allowed to incubate for 2 h. Following a wash step, goat anti-rat HRP IgG (SouthernBiotech) at 1:10,000 dilution was incubated in the plates for 18 h at 4 °C. After a second wash step the plates were developed using a 3,3’–5,5’-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) substrate kit (Thermo Pierce) and 2 M H2SO4 as a stopping solution. The well absorbance values were read at 450 nm and normalized to the highest value for each sample in GraphPad Prism version 6, followed by curve fitting with log(inhibitor) vs. normalized response – variable slope to find the midpoint titer. Competitive ELISA was also performed in a similar manner but with an added step: plasma at the IC80 dilution was incubated with free drug (α-PVP, MDPV or methamphetamine) dilutions of 1 mM to 0.1 nM (eleven 5-fold dilutions) in cathinone-BSA coated plates for 2 h.

Levels of OVA-specific IgE in serum or BAL fluid were determined by ELISA. Briefly, sample wells of a Nunc maxisorb ELISA plate (Nunc, Wiesbaden, Germany) were coated with 5 μg/ml OVA overnight and then blocked with 1% bovine serum albumin. After incubation with diluted samples, bound OVA-specific antibodies were detected with biotinylated rat anti-mouse IgE (clone R35–72, BD Biosciences). The biotinylated antibody was detected by horseradish peroxidase conjugated extravidin (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) and a TMB substrate kit (eBioscience). A standard curve was generated with a commercial anti-OVA IgE standard (clone 2C6; AbD Serotec, Puchheim, Germany).

Blood samples were collected from the tail veins of mice per immunized group and pooled together on day 7, 14, 21, and 28 after primary immunization, respectively. Anti-rOmpB-4 IgGs were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Briefly, 96-well plate (Nunc, Shanghai, China) was coated with 1.5 μg/ml rOmpB-4 overnight and incubated with mouse sera at the dilution of 1:1000. Then, the IgG, IgG1, or IgG2a to rOmpB-4 was determined with goat anti-mouse IgG, IgG1, or IgG2a HRP-conjugated antibodies (1:5000) and a TMB substrate kit (eBioscience, San Diego, CA) according to previous methods [32 (link)]. Absorbance at 450nm was analysed with a UVM 340 microplate reader (Asys Hitech GmbH, Eugendorf, Austria). Anti-C. burnetii phase I/II IgGs were detected by indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) as per methods described previously [37 (link)]. The phase I or II C. burnetii-coated slide was incubated with sera from mice immunized with rOmpB-4 mixed with CMR at two-fold dilution (initial at the dilution of 1:100) in PBS for 45 min at 37°C. After three washes with PBS, the C. burnetii cells on the slides were incubated with a 1:100 dilution of FITC-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgGs (eBioscience, San Diego, CA) for 45 min at 37°C. After another three washes, the coxiella cells on the slides were observed under a fluorescence microscope (Olympus BX60).

SDS-PAGE was carried out under denaturing and non-denaturing conditions. Under denaturing conditions, the purified protein was mixed with 2× sample buffer (100 mM Tris–HCl (pH 6.8), 4% SDS, 20% glycerol, 0.2% bromphenol blue) containing 200 mM dithiothreitol (DTT) and boiled for 5 min at 95 °C. In contrast, non-denaturing SDS-PAGE was performed according to the protocol reported by Bender et al. (2005) (link). Briefly, the purified protein was mixed with 2× sample buffer containing 0.4% SDS (in the absence of a reducing agent) and loaded directly onto a gel (without boiling of the sample). The protein was separated by 5–20% polyacrylamide gradient gel (e-PAGEL, ATTO) and transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane (Millipore). The membrane was incubated in 5% skim milk (Wako) in T-PBS buffer (phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2 (PBS) containing 0.05% Tween 20) for 60 min at 37 °C, and then incubated with a mAb against S1 protein in 5% skim milk in T-PBS buffer. Next, the membrane was incubated with a peroxidase-conjugated second antibody, goat anti-mouse IgG (H + L) (Jackson). The reacted protein was visualized using a TMB substrate kit (Invitrogen).

Blood serum from all vaccine groups (N = 9/group) were tested for antibody response compared to the non-vaccinated (PBS) group collected on day 29 post-vaccination. Serum samples were diluted 1:200 in SEA blocking buffer and added to an ELISA plate coated with 2 μg/ml of individual rAg in coating buffer, serially diluted 1:2, and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. Rabbit-anti-chicken-IgY-HRP antibody (Sigma) was used with the TMB substrate kit (Invitrogen).

The wells were washed and avidin-conjugated HRP (1:4,000) in 0.5% BSA was added and incubated for 1 h at room temperature. A TMB substrate kit (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA) was used for detection at 450 nm. IFN-γ levels in the supernatants were determined by sandwich ELSA assays (BioLegend, CA, USA).
