Intact and glycosidase-treated
RBD, S1 subunit, and the S protein (InVivo Biotech) were biotinylated
using 10 molar excess of NHS-LC-Biotin (Thermo Scientific). Immunoassay
plates were coated with 2.5 μg/mL recombinant angiotensin-converting
enzyme 2 (ACE2, Sigma-Aldrich). Subsequently, the assay plate wells
were blocked using blocking buffer containing 1% BSA. Dilutions of
the biotinylated antigens ranging from 1 to 0.001 μg/mL were
applied to the ACE2-coated assay plate wells in duplicates. The wells
were washed three times with 250 μL of PBS containing 0.1% Tween
20. Bound biotinylated antigens were detected using a streptavidin
peroxidase conjugate (Roche) and developed with tetramethylbenzidine.
The reaction was stopped using sulfuric acid. The absorbance was measured
at 450 nm using a microplate reader. GraphPad Prism 9 was used to
plot log(dose) response curves (variable slope, four parameters) and
to compute nonlinear fits, which were utilized to calculate the half-maximal
concentrations (EC50).

Porcine eyes were obtained from abattoir and POSs were isolated and purified from porcine retinas as described previously [27 (link)]. Purified POSs were labeled with NHS-LC-Biotin (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and resuspended in culture medium at a concentration of 5 × 107 POSs/mL. Cells were incubated with POSs at 37 °C, 5% CO2 in a humidified incubator for 4 h. Non-phagocyted or unbound POSs were removed by washing three times with PBS. Cells were fixed by 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA, Sigma) in PBS and incubated with cy3-labeled avidin (Invitrogen) for 10 min. ZO-1 immunostaining was used to show the boundary of cells. DAPI was used to label nuclei. The samples were then examined by fluorescence microscope (Olympus IX73). Z-stack images were obtained using a Nikon confocal microscope (Nikon A1R, Nikon Instruments Inc., Tokyo, Japan).

Binding of PTX3 to K. pneumoniae was assessed by flow cytometry and wild-field microscopy. Polyclonal rabbit anti-hPTX3 antibody (29 (link)) was biotinylated with NHS-LC-Biotin (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, USA), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. 106 CFSE-labelled K. pneumoniae were incubated with PTX3 (ranging from 1 to 20 μg/ml) in PBS2+ containing 0.2% (w/v) BSA for 1h at room temperature. Unbound PTX3 was removed by washing. The samples were then incubated with anti-hPTX3 biotinylated polyclonal antibody (0.5 μg/ml) followed by incubation with Streptavidin-Alexa Fluor 647 (Invitrogen™) (1:500) to detect bound proteins. Samples were fixed with 1% PFA and analyzed either on a FACS Canto II flow cytometry system (BD Biosciences, East Rutherford, NJ) or wild-field microscopy. FITC-labeled Aspergillus fumigatus conidia were used as positive control (28 (link)).

Antibody Conjugation with Biotin and Fluorophores

Antibodies were labeled with biotin or organic fluorophores via N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS)–reactive ester. For biotin conjugation, antibodies (0.1 to 1 mg/ml) were incubated with 50-fold molar excess of succinimidyl-6-(biotinamido)hexanoate (NHS-LC-biotin) (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 30 to 60 min and then isolated on 7-kDa gel filtration columns (Thermo Fisher Scientific). For dye conjugation, antibodies were precaptured on protein G magnetic beads (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and incubated with 10-fold molar excess of Alexa Fluor dye–NHS (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 30 to 60 min. Free dye was washed out, and antibodies were further purified on 7-kDa gel filtration columns. The degree of labeling and the concentration of antibodies were measured by spectrophotometry.

Purification and Biotinylation of CRP

Human CRP and recombinant CRP were purified as described previously (18 (link)). Rat CRP was purified using phosphorylcholine (PCh) Sepharose by the same protocol. CRP was biotinylated at a neutral pH as described for the reagent NHS-LC-biotin (Thermofisher) to prevent CRP denaturation. The CRP biotin was repurified on PCh-Sepharose to remove non-binding protein with extensive washing to remove unreacted biotin.

Monoclonal antibody Y-Ae was purified from hybridoma culture supernatants by standard protein G column chromatography (Amersham Biosciences/GE Healthcare). Purified mAbs (2.0 mg ml−1 in PBS) were biotinylated overnight at 4 °C using NHS–LC–biotin (N-Hexanoate-succinimidyl-long chain-biotin, Thermo scientific), dissolved to 10 mM with DMSO just before use, with a biotin-to-mAb molar ratio of 30:1. Unbound biotin was not removed, as this did not interfere with downstream applications. Anti-I-A/I-E-FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate ) and anti-CD11c-PE mAbs were obtained from BD Biosciences. Rapamycin was from Calbiochem and IFNγ was from Peprotech. 3-Methyladenine was from Sigma. The nuclear fluorescent dye 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) was purchased from Sigma.

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.
