ELISAs were performed according to standard protocols. Briefly, 384-well Maxisorp plates were coated with NeutrAvidin (10 μg/ mL) overnight at 4 °C and subsequently blocked with BSA (2% w/v) for 1 h at 20 °C. 10−100 nM pY antigens were captured on the NeutrAvidin-coated wells for 30 min followed by the addition of various concentrations of phage or recombinant antibodies for 30 min. The secondary Abs were either a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated anti-M13 phage antibody (Sino Biological) for phage ELISA or an antihuman-IgG antibody (Sigma-Aldrich) for recombinant protein ELISA. The ELISA plates were washed three times after each incubation, and Ab binding was detected by TMB substrate (VWR) and read at 450 nm.

Recombinant envelope glycoprotein gp120 from HIV‐1 (CM235, NIH ARP 12816) was coated overnight at 4 °C at 0.3 μg/mL in carbonate buffer, pH 9.5. After coating, wells were blocked with PBST containing 5% nonfat dry milk for 1 h at 37 °C. AvFc variants were then incubated on the plate beginning at 13 nM with 1 : 5 serial dilutions for 1 h at 37 °C, followed by detection with a 1 : 10 000 dilution of goat anti‐human IgG‐HRP (2040‐05; Southern Biotech, Birmingham, AL). Plates were developed for 5 min with TMB substrate (VWR 95059‐286), with development stopped with an equal volume of 2 N sulphuric acid and plates read at 450 nm. Dose–response curves were fit with 4‐parameter nonlinear regression in GraphPad Prism which was used to calculate EC50 values.

For each phage clone, 4 different conditions were tested—Direct: Spike-RBD-Fc, Competition: Spike-RBD-Fc with an equal concentration of Spike-RBD-Fc in solution, Negative selection: ACE2-Fc/Spike-RBD-Fc complex, and Control: Fc. 384-well Nunc Maxisorp flat-bottom clear plates (Thermo Fisher Scientific) were coated with 0.5 μg/mL of NeutrAvidin in PBS overnight at 4°C and subsequently blocked with PBS + 0.02% Tween-20 + 2% BSA for 1 hr at room temperature. Plates were washed 3X with PBS containing 0.05% Tween-20 (PBST) and were washed similarly between each of the steps. 20 nM of biotinylated Spike-RBD-Fc, ACE2-Fc/Spike-RBD-Fc complex, or Fc diluted in PBSTB was captured on the NeutrAvidin-coated wells for 30 min, then blocked with PBSTB + 10 μM biotin for 30 min. Phage supernatant diluted 1:5 in PBSTB were added for 20 min. For the competition samples, the phage supernatant was diluted into PBSTB with 20 nM Spike-RBD-Fc. Bound phage were detected by incubation with anti-M13-HRP conjugate (Sino Biological)(1:5000) for 30 min, followed by the addition of TMB substrate (VWR International). The reaction was quenched with the addition of 1 M phosphoric acid and the absorbance at 450 nm was measured using a Tecan M200 Pro spectrophotometer.

Suspensions of purified virions were coated onto 96-well ELISA plates at 4 µg total protein per mL in PBS (50 µL per well) and incubated at 4 degrees C overnight. Excess protein was decanted, and plates washed five times with 0.1% Tween-20 in PBS (wash buffer). Plates were blocked with 3% nonfat milk in wash buffer for 1 h. Mid-titer rabbit polyclonal serum obtained from BEI Resources (Manassas, VA, USA) was 2-fold serially diluted in 1% nonfat milk in wash buffer, applied to plates, and incubated for 2 h. Antisera was decanted and plates were washed as above, followed by incubation for 1 h at room temperature with a 1:3000 dilution of goat-anti-rabbit secondary antibody conjugated to HRP in wash buffer with 1% nonfat milk. The extent of antibody capture was measured by colorimetric detection following treatment with TMB substrate (VWR Scientific, Radnor, PA, USA) and acid stop solution and quantified on a VERSAMax microplate reader (Molecular Devices, San Jose, CA, USA).

Whole cell proteins (WCPs) and extracellular proteins (ECPs) were extracted and concentrated (Yin et al. 2018 (link)). Overnight cultures of E. piscicida were sub-cultured into 50-mL fresh DMEM and statically incubated for 24 h to 72 h at 28 °C; bacteria were then harvested by centrifugation at 5,000 × g for 10 min at 4 °C for WCPs. For ECPs, culture supernatants were filtered with 0.22-µm filters (Millipore, USA), and concentrated using 10 kDa cutoff centrifugal filter devices (Millipore, USA). Proteins were separated by 12% SDS-PAGE, followed by Coomassie blue staining. For western blots, separated proteins were wet transferred onto PVDF membranes (Millipore, USA) and incubated with a 1:1000 dilution of mouse anti-EseB (GL Biochem, China). HRP-conjugated anti-mouse IgG (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, CA) was used at a 1:2,000 dilution as a secondary antibody. Proteins were visualized with TMB substrate (Amresco, USA). Mouse anti-DnaK (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA) was used as a loading control.

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.
