AVR-Pik effector proteins were produced with a cleavable Nt SUMO tag and a non-cleavable Ct His tag from pOPIN-E (58) in E. coli SHuffle (59) and purified as previously described (29) . HMA domains were produced with a cleavable Nt His-MBP tag from pOPIN-M in E. coli SHuffle. Pikp-HMA and Pikm-HMA were produced and purified as previously described (29) . For production of OsHIPP19-HMA, inoculated 1L cell cultures were grown in autoinduction media (60) at 30°C. 1 mM TCEP was included in the buffer for the final gel filtration of OsHIPP19-HMA. Protein concentration was determined using a Direct Detect ® Infrared Spectrometer (Millipore Sigma).

To register new vibrations that could correspond to a formation of binding between potential inhibitors and protein, mixture of protein and each inhibitor stock was prepared with total volume of 40 µL. Stock solution of CA IX in a quantity of 20 µL, while the volume of inhibitor stock varied according to the molar ratios and water was added till the final volume. Prepared samples (2 µL) were spotted to assay free-membrane card, let to dry and inserted to Direct Detect Infra-red Spectrometer (Millipore Sigma, USA).

Validating Antibody Specificity in Stroke Samples

To authenticate the specificity of BACE1 and NRG1 type III antibodies, white matter regions (thalamus/internal capsule) were dissected from stroked mouse brains and sonicated in ice-cold 0.1 M phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 1% triton X-100 and 0.1% sodium deoxycholate, Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (1:100; Millipore Sigma), and Phosphatase Inhibitor Cocktail 2 (1:100; Millipore Sigma). Following centrifugation, the total protein concentration of each supernatant was measured using a Direct Detect Infrared Spectrometer (Millipore Sigma). Samples were then resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane, and probed with the same BACE1 or NRG1 type III antibodies used for immunostaining throughout the manuscript: rabbit anti-BACE1 (1:1000, Cell Signaling) and rabbit anti-NRG1 type III (1:1000, Abcam). Following incubation with the appropriate secondary antibodies, proteins were visualized using a chemiluminescence detection system (GE Healthcare Life Sciences).

Total MMP, OPN, and cytokines/chemokines concentrations were then measured using mouse multiplex magnetic bead kits (Milliplex Multiplex Assays, Millipore Sigma), according to the manufacturer’s protocols and recommendations. Each lysate sample, standard, and quality control were measured in duplicate. Plates were read using a MAGPIX instrument (Luminex), and results were analyzed using MILLIPLEX Analyst 5.1 software (Millipore Sigma).

Snap-frozen brain tissue samples were sonicated in ice-cold 0.1 M PBS containing 1% triton-X and 0.1% sodium deoxycholate, Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (1:100; Millipore Sigma), and Phosphatase Inhibitor Cocktail 2 (1:100; Millipore Sigma). Following centrifugation, the total protein concentration of each supernatant was measured using a Direct Detect Infrared Spectrometer (Millipore Sigma). Total immunoglobulin G (IgG), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), albumin, and cytokines and chemokines were then quantified using mouse multiplex magnetic bead kits purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific and Millipore Sigma, and used according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Each lysate sample, standard, and quality control was measured in duplicate. Plates were read using a MAGPIX instrument (Luminex), and results were analyzed using MILLIPLEX Analyst 5.1 software (Millipore Sigma).

At 3 weeks after surgery, infarcts from stroked mice and the equivalent region of the cortex from sham-operated mice were dissected and sonicated in ice-cold 0.1 M phosphate buffered saline containing 1% triton X-100 and 0.1% sodium deoxycholate, Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (1:100; Millipore Sigma), and Phosphatase Inhibitor Cocktail 2 (1:100; Millipore Sigma). After centrifugation, the total protein concentration of each supernatant was measured using a Direct Detect Infrared Spectrometer (Millipore Sigma). Cytokines/chemokines were then quantified by multiplex immunoassay using a high sensitivity mouse multiplex magnetic bead kit (Millipore Sigma) and performed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations (MILLIPLEX MAP Mouse Cytokine/Chemokine Magnetic Bead Panel-Immunology Multiplex Assay, MCYTOMAG-70K). Each lysate sample, standard, and quality control were measured in duplicate. Plates were read using a MAGPIX instrument (Luminex, Austin, TX), and results were analyzed using MILLIPLEX Analyst 5.1 software (Millipore Sigma). For those analytes that were below the lower limit of detection, the lower limit of detection values was used for data analysis. Concentrations of cytokines/chemokines were normalized to concentrations of total protein in the lysates.

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.
