1 μm fluorescent neutravidin beads

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

1-μm fluorescent neutravidin beads are microscopic particles coated with the protein neutravidin, which has a high affinity for biotin. These beads are fluorescently labeled, allowing them to be easily detected and tracked using fluorescence microscopy techniques.

HIV Protein Bead-Based ADCP Assay

A THP-1 antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) assay was performed as previously described (55 (link)). Briefly, recombinant HIV proteins were conjugated onto 1-μm fluorescent neutravidin beads (Invitrogen). Excess antigen was removed by washing pelleted beads, which were then incubated with purified IgG antibody samples (100 μg/ml) for 2 h at 37°C. Following opsonization, THP-1 cells were added to the bead-antibody mix and incubated overnight, followed by fixation and analysis of bead uptake by flow cytometry.

SARS-CoV-2 RBD Opsonization and Phagocytic Uptake by THP-1 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The THP-1 (TIB-202, ATCC) ADCP with antigen-coated beads was conducted as described (26 (link)). SARS-CoV-2 RBD (BEI Resources NR-52309) was biotinylated with Sulfo-NHS-LC Biotin (Thermo Fisher), then incubated with 1μm fluorescent neutravidin beads (Invitrogen) at 4°C for 16hours. Excess antigen was washed away and RBD-coupled neutravidin beads were resuspended in PBS-0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA). RBD-coupled beads were incubated with serially diluted samples (1:100, 1:500, 1:2500) in duplicate for 2hours at 37°C. THP1 cells (1×105 per well) were then added. Serum opsonized RBD-coupled beads and THP1 cells were incubated at 37°C for 16hours, washed and fixed with 4% PFA. Bead uptake was measured on a BD LSRFortessa and analyzed by FlowJo10. Phagocytic scores were calculated as the integrated median fluorescence intensity (MFI) (%bead-positive frequency×MFI/10,000) (131 (link)). The background signal (PBS) was subtracted. Experiments were conducted two independent times. Representative data from one dilution was chosen by the highest signal-to-noise ratio.

Antigen-Specific Phagocytosis Assay for THP-1 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
THP-1 cell phagocytosis of antigen-coated beads was conducted as previously described17 (link),60 (link). Mtb antigens were biotinylated with Sulfo-NHS-LC Biotin (ThermoFisher) following the manufacturer’s instructions and incubated with 1-μm fluorescent neutravidin beads (Invitrogen) at 4 °C for 16 h. Excess antigen was washed away. Antigen-coated beads were incubated with plasma (at 1:100, 1:1,000, 1:10,000 dilutions in PBS) for 2 h at 37 °C. THP-1 cells (1 × 105 per well) were added and incubated at 37 °C for 16 h. Bead uptake was measured in fixed cells using flow cytometry on a BD LSRII (BD Biosciences) equipped with a high-throughput sampler. Phagocytic scores are presented as the integrated MFI (percentage bead-positive frequency × MFI per 10,000) (Extended data Fig. 8a)50 (link). Antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis experiments for individual plasma samples were performed in duplicate in two independent experiments.

Bead-based Fc-Receptor Phagocytosis Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PPD was biotinylated with sulfo-NHS-LC BIOTIN (ThermoFisher) and incubated with 1 μm fluorescent neutravidin beads (Invitrogen) at 4°C for 16 hours. Excess antigen was washed away. Antigen-coated beads were incubated with IgG samples (100 µg/mL) at 37°C for 2 hours to which THP1 cells (1 × 105/well) were added and incubated further at 37°C for 16 hours. Bead uptake in fixed samples was measured on a BD LSRII. The integrated MFI (% bead-positive frequency × MFI/10 000) generated phagocytic scores [30 (link)].

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.
