Plasma Thromboxane B2 Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A competitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (EIA) was utilized according to manufacturer's instructions (TXB2 EIA Kit, Cayman Chemical Co., Ann Arbor, MI) in order to analyze thromboxane B2 (TXB2) in citrated plasma. All reagents were prepared fresh using ultra-pure water, and samples diluted as necessary in sample buffer to fall within the standard curve (typically 1:2). No apparent evidence for interference was found in the assay using serially diluted plasma (i.e. <20% difference in the final calculated TXB2 concentration), and therefore did not further purify the plasma samples. The limit of detection (LOD) was 7.8 pg/ml. Stimulated blood was not employed for these analyses as it was the goal of the original sequential therapy trial (Block et al 2013 ), from which this study used data, to determine effects of aspirin and fish oil ingestion alone without additional complication(s) of if and how artificially stimulating them impacted this. Further, a thrombin control was not used since each subject served as their own control in the original analysis (i.e. comparison of TXB2 levels while taking aspirin and/or fish oil compared to TXB2 level while taking neither). All TXB2 assays were analyzed in duplicate, and fell within the standard curve.

Measuring Coagulation and Inflammation Markers

Beta-thromboglobulin (βTG) and prothrombin fragments 1+2 (F1+2) were measured by commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in plasma samples collected in CTAD tubes as previously described (24 (link)). EDTA plasma was used to measure histamine (ELISA kit Starfish, Gernusco, Italy) and C3a levels. Because the manufacturer of C3a kits recently modified their ELISA to the C3a Plus version (Microvue Complement C3a Plus, Quidel, San Diego, CA), archived GalTKO.hCD46 samples were reanalyzed for this study. Blood, collected at 3 time points (0, 15 and 60min) in EDTA tubes containing 100μl (at 10μg/ml) of meclofenamate (Sigma-Aldrich, St.Louis, MO), was analyzed to measure plasma levels of thromboxane B2 (TXB2 EIA Kit, Cayman Chemical Company, Ann Arbor, MI; Catalog No. 519031).

A competitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (TXB2 EIA Kit, Cayman Chemical Co., Ann Arbor, MI) was used to analyze TXB2 from citrated plasma serially diluted, as necessary, in sample buffer to fall within the standard curve (typically 1:2)[13 (link)].

Measurement of TXB2 Production in Platelets

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Measurement of TXB2 production was conducted using a TXB2 EIA kit (Cayman Chemical Co, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) as previously described (Cho et al., 2011 (link); Seo et al., 2011 (link)). PRP (2×108 platelets/mL) was incubated for 3 min in the presence or absence of samples. Collagen (2 μg/mL) was added and the mixture was incubated at 37°C for 5 min with stirring. EDTA (10 mM) was added to stop TXB2 production. After centrifugation at 12,000 g for 3 min, the amount of TXB2 was measured according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Measuring Collagen-Induced Thromboxane B2

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Thromboxane A2 (TXA2) is unstable and instantly converted to thromboxane B2 (TXB2). Therefore, the degree of TXA2 formation in platelets was confirmed by measuring TXB2 using the TXB2 EIA kit (Cayman Chemical Co., Ann Arbor, MI, USA). Rat PRP was pre-incubated at 37 °C for 5 min in the presence of MJGE09 (0, 4, 20, and 100 μg/mL) or aspirin (0.1 mM). Next, collagen (2 μg/mL) was added to PRP and incubated at 37 °C for 5 min, followed by the addition of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) (10 mM) to stop TXA2 formation. After centrifugation at 12,000× g for 1 min, the supernatant was collected, and the degree of TXB2 formation was measured using the protocol provided in the TXB2 EIA kit.

Measurement of Thromboxane B2 Production

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Since thromboxane A2 (TXA2) is unstable and transforms into thromboxane B2 (TXB2) quickly, therefore, TXA2 generation was measured by detecting TXB2 production [7 (link)]. After platelet activation, the reaction was stopped by adding indomethacin (0.2 mM) with EDTA (5 mM). The amounts of TXB2 were determined using a TXB2 EIA kit Cayman Chemical (Ann Arbor, MI, USA). The plate was read at a wavelength of 420 nm using a Synergy HT Microplate Reader (BioTek Instruments, Winoosku, VT., USA).

ELISA-based Quantification of Serum and Cell Culture Media

Serum or cell culture medium was measured by using the TXB2 EIA kit (Cayman Chemical, Cat. #501020) or a mouse VEGF-A ELISA Kit (Pierce, Cat. #EMVEGFA) according to the manufacturer's specifications. Sera were collected from the blood samples of individual mice at the end of the experiment under terminal anesthesia following a protocol for cardiac puncture. Serum samples were separated from blood within 1 h following blood collection by centrifugation at 500g for 10 min, and then aliquotted and stored at −80 °C for subsequent testing. Cell culture media were collected at the end of the experiments and cleared by centrifugation at 17,000g for 10 min and then stored at −80 °C for subsequent testing.

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.
