Pepstar peptide microarrays

Manufactured by JPT Peptide Technologies
Sourced in Germany

PepStar peptide microarrays are a tool for high-throughput screening and analysis of peptide-based interactions. The core function of the PepStar system is to enable the immobilization of peptides on a solid support, allowing for the simultaneous detection and quantification of multiple peptide-protein or peptide-peptide interactions.

7 protocols using pepstar peptide microarrays

Epitope Mapping of Murine ApoA-I

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Serum samples from the mice shown in Figs. 2 and 3 with an anti–full-length ApoA-I absorbance (A450) >1.0 at study termination were selected for epitope mapping by peptide array. Where possible, a matched sample from 11 wk of age was also included. Serum samples were analyzed by JPT Peptide Technologies (Berlin, Germany) PepStar peptide microarrays using a series of 58 synthetic 15-mer peptides with 4-aa offsets spanning the entire 243-aa sequence of murine ApoA-I. Serum samples were incubated with the microarray slide for 1 h at 30°C. After washing the microarray, fluorescently labeled anti-mouse IgG secondary Ab at 1 μg/ml was added and incubated for 1 h. Control wells lacking mouse serum were used to assess nonspecific binding of the secondary Ab toward each peptide. After washing, the array was scanned at 635 nm to obtain fluorescence intensity profiles and resulting images were quantified to yield a mean pixel value for each peptide, which is represented as a heatmap.

Peptide Array Protocol for Jejunum Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PepStar peptide microarrays were obtained from JPT Peptide Technologies GmbH (Berlin, Germany), and the peptide array protocol was carried out as previously described (6 (link)) with the following modifications (8 (link), 17 (link)). Jejunum tissue samples were weighed to obtain a consistent 40 mg sample for the array protocol. Samples were homogenized by a hand-held TissueRuptor (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA) in 100 µL of lysis buffer (20 mM Tris–HCl pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, 1 mM ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid, 1% Triton X-100, 2.5 mM sodium pyrophosphate, 1 mM Na3VO4, 1 mM NaF, 1 µg/mL leupeptin, 1 g/mL aprotinin, and 1 mM Phenylmethylsulphonyl fluoride). All chemicals purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, Co. (St. Louis, MO, USA) unless otherwise indicated.

HER2 Antibody Response Profiling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Serum collections were analyzed for HER2 peptide-specific antibody response using a panel of overlapping 15-mer peptides spanning the HER2 sequence using PepStar peptide microarrays, Multiwell Microarray Service (JPT Peptide Technologies GmbH, Germany). The reactivity pattern was summarized in fold increase compared with baseline. As this is a study conducted in non-HLA preselected patients with a small number of available biospecimens, responses to multiple epitopes in individual patients or detection of varying epitopes among patients will be reported in a descriptive manner.

Peptide array protocol was carried out as previously [14 (link)] described and summarized below using PepStar peptide microarrays from JPT Peptide Technologies GmbH (Berlin, Germany). Ileum and jejunum tissue samples were weighed and a 40 mg sample was homogenized by a Bead Ruptor homogenizer (Omni, Kennesaw GA) in 100 μL of lysis buffer (20 mM Tris–HCl pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), 1 mM ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid (EGTA), 1% Triton X-100, 2.5 mM sodium pyrophosphate, 1 mM Na3VO4, 1 mM NaF, 1 μg/mL leupeptin, 1 g/mL aprotinin and 1 mM Phenylmethylsulphonyl fluoride). All chemicals were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, Co. (St. Louis, MO) unless specified otherwise. Arrays were then imaged using a Tecan PowerScanner microarray scanner (Tecan Systems, San Jose, CA, USA) at 532–560 nm with a 580 nm filter to detect dye fluorescence.

Fibrinogen and Autoantigen Peptide Microarray

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PepStar™ peptide microarrays (JPT Peptide Technologies, Berlin, Germany) comprise 169 15-mers from the alpha and beta chain of fibrinogen, vimentin, histon 4, enolase, proteoglycan, filaggrin, ebna 2 and collagen (Supplementary Figures 1, 2). Thirty three arginine-containing peptides and their 136 citrulline-substituted variants (Supplementary Table 1) were synthesized on cellulose membranes using SPOT™ synthesis technology (9 (link)). A reactivity tag was attached to the N-terminus of each peptide. The peptides were cleaved and eluted from the membrane. Quality control measurements using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry were performed. Peptides were immobilized on the epoxy-modified slide surfaces using chemoselective coupling. All peptides were deposited (10−15 moles) in three identical subarrays per block/slide enabling analysis of assay homogeneity and reliability of the results. Peptide microarrays were scanned after the printing process for identification and quality control of each individual spot.

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.
