Biotinylated HLA-DQ Tetramer Preparation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Biotinylated monomers of HLA-DQA1*0301 and HLA-DQB1*0302 were produced in-house using previously published protocols with either portion of the insulin B chain (Ins12–20 or Ins13–21) or the insulin connecting peptide (CP65–75, CP59–70). All biotinylated monomers were purified in two steps by NTA affinity chromatography followed by gel filtration on a Sephacryl-300 HR column (Cytiva). Aliquots were flash frozen and kept at −80°C until use. To tetramerize, the monomers were incubated with streptavidin-phycoerythrin (SA-PE) (Invitrogen), overnight at room temperature at a 5:1 ratio of monomer to SA-PE. This formulation was diluted to 1X via FW and used directly on cells. c. I-Ag7 monomers were tetramerized as described above with Ins12–20 and Ins13–21 and 9Q (a mimotope for the BDC2.5 antigen) monomers. Both I-Ag7 and HLA-DQ8 tetramers were diluted down to 1X with FW prior to staining cells.

Multiplex Virus Detection via Oligonucleotide Coupling

Oligonucleotide coupling; thirteen capture probes were included in the multiplex assay (Table 1). Each probe sequence represented the reverse complement to the target region of the biotinylated PCR product. Different sets of carboxylated fluorescent microbeads were obtained from Luminex Corp. (‘s-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands), and oligonucleotide probes for target viruses were assigned to individual bead sets. The oligonucleotide coupling was done according to the manufacturer’s instructions (xMAP cookbook, Luminex). The probe-coupled beads were counted using a hemocytometer and were stored in the dark at +4 °C. Hybridization; probe-beads and PCR products were hybridized as published [53 (link)] except that the streptavidin-phycoerythrin (SAPE, Invitrogen) incubation temperature was 48 °C. After three washes the amplicons were labeled with 4 μg/mL SAPE conjugate in 2 M tetramethylammonium chloride (Sigma), 75 mM Tris, 6 mM EDTA and 1.5 g7 L sarkosyl (Sigma), pH 8.0; for 20 min in the dark. Measurement; after three washes, the beads and the SAPE signal were analyzed in a Bio-Plex 200 (Bio-Rad).

Luminex-based HPV L1 Protein Binding Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HPV16 and HPV18 binding was determined by a Luminex-based assay utilizing glutathione-S-transferase (GST)-HPV L1 fusion proteins that were coupled with magnetic beads, as previously described (Katzenellenbogen et al., 2015 (link)). In brief, GST, GST- HPV L1 (16, 18) and GST-Protein A (subcloned from a plasmid kindly provided by Dr. Alice Prince, Columbia University) fusion proteins were expressed from a modified pGex4T vector (Katzenellenbogen et al., 2015 (link)), and crude bacterial lysates prepared. Magnetic microspheres (beads) containing a unique combination of fluorescent dyes (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA) were covalently coupled with glutathione-linked casein. Modified beads were used to purify fusion proteins from the crude lysates with each bead set incubated with a different fusion protein. Beads were washed, mixed together and incubated with culture supernatants in 96-well plates (final dilution 1:10). Antibodies that bound to the fusion proteins were detected by incubation with biotinylated anti-human IgG or IgM (KPL, Gaithersburg, MD) followed by streptavidin-phycoerythrin (SAPE) (Invitrogen). Fluorescence was measured on a BioPlex 200 instrument (Bio-Rad Laboratories). The median fluorescent intensity (MFI) for GST was subtracted from the MFI of the other antigens. GST-protein A was included to detect the presence of any IgG in the culture supernatants.

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.
