The number of neutrophils in the eye was estimated by measuring MPO activity as described previously, with slight modification. Briefly, eyes isolated 24 h post-infection were homogenized in 1.0 mL phosphate-buffered saline, the homogenate was centrifuged (10,000× g, 15 min, 4 °C), the resulting pellet was suspended in 0.03 mL of 50 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 6.0) containing 50 mM hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, and 0.07 mL of 50 mM potassium phosphate (pH 6.0) was then added to the suspension. Each sample was subjected to three freeze–thaw cycles and then centrifuged at 10,000× g for 10 min at 4 °C, after which 0.02 mL of the resulting supernatant was added to 0.05 mL of substrate reagent (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), and the mixture was incubated for 20 min at room temperature. The reaction was terminated by adding 25 µL of 2 N H2SO4, and the absorbance at 450 nm was measured.

SDF-1 splice variant-specific ELISAs (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) were performed as previously described.8 ,21 (link) Briefly, Tet-Off BMSCs were plated and treated as above. After 24 h, the media were collected and cell lysates prepared in Complete Lysis-M EDTA-free buffer containing protease inhibitors (Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN). The anti-SDF-1 capture antibody (R&D Systems) in sodium bicarbonate buffer pH 9.4 was bound to MaxiSorp 96-well plates (Nunc, Thermo Fisher Scientific) overnight. Plates were blocked for 2 h with 1% BSA in PBS. Murine SDF-1α or SDF-1β (PeproTech, Rocky Hill, NJ) standards and samples (1:2 diluted) were incubated for 2 h prior to incubating with the biotinylated anti-SDF-1α and anti-SDF-1β detection antibody (2 h; R&D Systems), respectively. Streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase (R&D Systems) was incubated for 20 min followed by the substrate reagent (R&D Systems) for 20 min. Sulfuric acid (2 N) was added to stop the enzymatic color reaction and absorbance was read at 450 nm. SDF-1α and SDF-1β protein expression was calculated using standard curves and normalized to total protein, which was quantified using the EZQ® Protein Quantitation Kit (Invitrogen).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Anti-CSE1L (H2) antibody-coated 96-well plates (Costar) were blocked with 5% BSA in TBS (Tris-buffered saline) for 1 h. The wells were washed with TBST (0.05% Tween 20 in TBS) and then incubated with serum samples (sixfold dilution with TBS) for 1 h. After being washed with TBST, the wells were incubated with biotin-conjugated anti-phospho-CSE1L antibodies for 1 h. The biotin-conjugated anti-phospho-CSE1L antibodies were prepared by biotinylating anti-phospho-CSE1L antibodies using the Biotin Labeling Kit-NH2 (Dojindo Laboratories, Kumamoto, Japan). The wells were then washed with TBST, reacted with streptavidin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), and followed by incubation with the substrate reagent (R&D Systems). For calibration, two blank wells containing TBST were used as the background value, and two wells that were not coated with anti-phospho-CSE1L antibodies but reacted with all other ELISA reagents were used as control wells. The absorbance at 450 nm was measured within 20 min following the reaction by using a Thermo Multiskan EX microplate photometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Each sample was assayed two times.

C57BL/6J mice (The Jackson Laboartory) were administered i.p. with various concentrations of Salp20. Plasma samples were collected at various time points (2 to 24 h) for an LPS-dependent AP activation assay [32 (link)–34 (link)]. Briefly, plasma was diluted (1:10 in Mg2+-EGTA GVB2+ buffer), applied to LPS-coated ELISA plates (2µg /well), and incubated at 37°C for 1 h. After washing, goat anti-mouse C3 Ab (1:4000 dilution, MP Cappel, cat#55463) was added followed by HRP-conjugated anti-goat IgG (1:2000 dilution; Jackson ImmunoResearch), after which substrate reagent (cat#DY999, R&D Systems) was added for 10 min. The reaction was stopped with 1M H2SO4 and the OD of samples measured at 450 nm.
To assess the AP activity in the OVA-induced asthma model, mice were sacrificed on day 17 (see below) and their lungs lavaged 3 times with 1 mL of sterile PBS. Samples were cleared by centrifugation at 14,000 rpm for 20 min at 4°C. Cleared samples were diluted at 1:2 in Mg2+-EGTA GVB2+ buffer prior to being applied to LPS-coated plates. Post lavage, lungs were harvested and homogenized in 2 mL of cold PBS. Homogenates were cleared twice with centrifugation at 14,000 rpm × 20 min at 4°C. Samples were normalized by protein concentration based on absorbance at 280 nm and diluted 1:2 in Mg2+-EGTA GVB2+ buffer prior to being applied to LPS-coated plates. AP activity was measured as above.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The levels of Hsp90-beta in serum and MPE were detected by a method of sandwich ELISA, which was originally developed using rabbit anti-human Hsp90-beta antibody. The test was performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Xitang Biotech, Shanghai, China) [10 (link), 14 (link)]. First, the 96-hole flexible micro titration plate (xitang biotechnology co., LTD., Shanghai, China) was coated with a serum (or MPE) sample diluted by PBS (pH 7.4) containing 1% BSA. After that, the hole was incubated with the monoclonal anti-Hsp90-beta antibody (10 ng/mL) at 37 °C for 1 h, then followed by reaction with avidin-conjugated peroxidase (Dako Cytomation) using a Substrate Reagent (R&D Systems) at 37 °C for 15 min. Finally, the chromogenic reaction was terminated by adding 50 μL 2 N sulfuric acid, and the intensity was measured at 450 nm wavelength by photometer. The standard curve of each plate was drawn using the concentration of the standard sample and the corresponding OD value of each hole.

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.
