Quantification of Complement C3 by ELISA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Complement C3 was quantified by a Complement C3 Human ELISA kit (cat #ab108823; abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA). Briefly, 96-well plates were incubated with C3 standard or sample for two hours at RT. After washing, wells were subsequently incubated with biotinylated C3 antibody for 1 h at RT. Following washing, peroxidase-labelled streptavidin conjugate was added to each well and incubated for 30 min. After washing, chromogen substrate was added and incubated for 10 min. After the reaction had been stopped with a stop solution, the amount of reacted substrate was measured at OD 450 nm. A standard curve was made using serial dilutions of the standard. The amount of C3 in samples was determined from the standard curve. Values were expressed as ng/mL.

The albumin human ELISA kit (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA; SwissProt: P02768), the lipoprotein A (APOA, LPA) human ELISA kit (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA; SwissProt: P08519), the human rho GDP-dissociation inhibitor 2 (ARHGDIB) ELISA kit (Cusabio Biotech. Co., LTD, China; SwissProt: P52566), the complement C3 human ELISA kit (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA; SwissProt: P01024), and the human Ficolin-2 (FCN2) ELISA kit (Cusabio Biotech. Co., LTD, China; SwissProt: Q15485) were used to detect protein levels in the serum. The protein concentration of 57 untreated TB patients, 53 2-month treated TB patients, 59 cured TB patients and 60 healthy controls were measured according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Serum samples were diluted with dilution factors of 1:10,000, 1:800, 1:4,000, and 1:20,000 for ALB, C3, FCN2, and LPA, respectively. ELISAs were performed according to the instructions of each kit.

The lumbar puncture required participants to fast overnight and was performed between 0900 and 1000 hours. A total of 15 mL of clear CSF was collected in three polypropylene tubes. The tubes were immediately placed on ice for a maximum of 1 hour until samples were centrifuged at 4°C at 1500 rpm for 10 min. Aliquots of 0.25 mL were then placed into 1 mL polypropylene cryogenic vials and stored in Nunc eight-cell storage boxes (Nalge Nunc Internation, Rochester, NY, USA) at -80°C.
CSF and plasma levels of IL-6 and IL-8 were measured in a sandwich assay format using the Human Proinflammatory II 4-Plex Assay and a SECTOR instrument from Meso Scale Discovery Gaithersburg, MD. CSF AChE and BChE activities were determined using an inhouse method as previously described (Parnetti et al., 2011 (link)). CSF Abeta and tau determinations were described previously (Pomara et al., 2012 ). sTREM2 concentration was determined using an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay as previously described (Heslegrave et al., 2016 (link)). CSF C3 levels were measured using a Complement C3 Human ELISA kit (cat #:ab108823; abcam) as previously described (Pillai et al., 2019 (link)) and values are expressed as ng/ml. The focus of this analysis will be on the baseline lumbar puncture determination.

Validating Differential Protein Abundance in ADA Response

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Independent assays for the nine proteins that showed differential abundance in the R/NR comparison in response to ADA were searched. For four of the proteins (TAGLN2, SH3BGRL3, TCFL5 and isoform 2 of TPM3) no commercial assay was found, for the other five proteins an ELISA was identified and used. They were the Human ABI family, member 3 (NESH) binding protein ELISA Kit (Mybiosource, San Diego, CA) for ABI3BP; the Human Tropomyosin alpha-4 chain (TPM4) ELISA kit (CUSABIO, Wuhan, Hubei Province, PRC); the ELISA Kit for Human Cofilin 1, Non Muscle (CFL1) (Cloud-Clone, Houston, TX); the Hemopexin (HPX) Human ELISA Kit (Abcam, Cambridge, UK); and the Complement C3 Human ELISA kit (Abcam). Assays were performed in duplicate according with the manufacturer instructions except for HPX, TPM4 and CFL1 that required extended incubation times to reach sufficient sensitivity. Concentrations in NR and R patients were compared after logarithmic transformation with Student t test.

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.
