Indirect cELISAs were completed using a panel of inhibitors to determine the selectivity of the mAbs. The cELISA procedure was nearly the same as that described for the serum screening, except for the addition of inhibitors (50 µL), which were mixed with 50 µL of the antibody solution during the primary antibody incubation step. The inhibitors tested were α-AMA (≥90%, Enzo Life Sciences, Farmingdale, NY, USA), β-AMA (≥90%, Enzo), γ-AMA (≥90%, Enzo), microcystin-LR (≥95%, Enzo), nodularin (≥95%, Enzo), phalloidin (>90%, Enzo), phallacidin (≥85%, Sigma), pysilocybin (>99%, Cerilliant, Round Rock, TX, USA), muscimol (>99%, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), ibotenic acid (>98%, Abcam). Each analyte stock was dissolved in dH2O, then serially diluted into TBST, starting at the highest concentration of ,000 ng mL−1, and assessed in triplicate. Data were analyzed using a 4-parameter logistic equation (GraphPad Prism 7 Software, La Jolla, CA, USA) to determine the concentration of inhibition at half of the maximal signal (IC50). Cross-reactivity (%) was calculated as follows: (IC50 α-AMA)/(IC50 test inhibitor) × 100.

The toxins, α-AMA (≥90%), β-AMA (≥90%), γ-AMA (≥90%), microcystin-LR (≥95%), nodularin (≥95%), and phalloidin (>90%), were purchased from Enzo Life Sciences (Farmingdale, NY, USA). Phallacidin (≥85%), sodium periodate (NaIO4, >99.8%), sodium borohydride (NaBH4, 99%), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). Methanol, Tween-20, keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), and SuperSignal West Pico PLUS chemiluminescent substrate were purchased from Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA, USA). Secondary antibody goat-anti-rabbit-horseradish peroxidase conjugate was purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, MA, USA). The hapten OSu-Glu-vc-PAB-C6-amanitin (LB) was purchased from Levena Biopharma (San Diego, CA, USA).

lyophilized Amanita exitialis (100 g) was provided by Professor Chen (College of Life Sciences, Hunan Normal University, Changsha, China). The Amanita exitialis powder was stored in a refrigerator at 2–8 °C. α-amanitin, β-amanitin, γ-amanitin, phallacidin, HPLC-grade water, acetonitrile, and ammonium acetate were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). Normal saline (0.9% NaCl), ethyl alcohol, formalin, and hematoxylin and eosin were obtained from Sangon Biotech (Shanghai, China).

Toxin Analysis of Dried Basidiomata

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Dried basidiomata of the target taxon have been used for toxin analyses using the method of Lüli et al. (2019) (link). Toxins were extracted from basidiomata, using methanol–water–0.01 M hydrochloric acid (5:4:1, vol/vol) as the extraction buffer. Dried material (0.05 g) was crushed into fine powder in a mortar and pestle with liquid nitrogen. Then, 1.5 mL aforementioned buffer was added, and the suspension transferred into 1.5-mL centrifuge tubes. The tubes were kept at room temperature for 30 min, followed by centrifugation (12,000 rpm) for 3 min. Finally, the supernatant was transferred into new centrifuge tubes for mass spectrometry analysis.
The presence of cyclic peptides, especially α-amanitin, β-amanitin, phalloidin, and phallacidin (standards provided by Sigma Chemical Co, United States), was evaluated through the liquid chromatography–high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) using 1290 Infinity II HPLC systems coupled with 6540 UHD precision mass Q-TOF instruments under the conditions listed in Table 2.

Peptide toxins including α-amanitin, β-amanitin, phallacidin and phalloidin obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA) were used as standard reference material. Two grams of mushroom samples were blended and extracted with 20 mL of methanol. The extract was incubated at 60°C for 10 min, followed by centrifugation at 8000 g for 5 min. The clear supernatant was decanted to dryness under a stream of nitrogen. LC methods for separation of amatoxins and phallotoxins were applied according to Chung et al. (2007) and Jansson et al. (2012) The separation of the peptide toxins as well as determination of molecular weight were performed using a reversed phase LC-MS method on Agilent Technologies 1100 series LC/MSD system (Foster City, CA, USA) equipped with a diode array detector and single quad MS detector (VL) with an electrospray source (ESI-MS). Mobile phases used included different mixtures of a buffer containing 10% of 2 mM ammonium formate with 5 mM formic acid and 90% of acetonitrile.

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.
