Synthesis of PEG-TRAIL-Cy5 Conjugates

For the synthesis of PEG-TRAIL-Cy5 conjugates, the TRAIL mutant N109C (1 mg/mL) in PBS (pH 7.4) was treated with TCEP HCl (10 eq) at 37 °C for 1 h to disrupt intermolecular disulfide bond. To the reduced N109C at room temperature was added the methoxyl-PEG-maleimide (mPEG-MAL, 5000 Da) (2 eq/SH group) in PBS. After 40 min, sulfo-cyanine5-maleimide (water-soluble Cy5, a near- IR fluorophore) (4 eq/SH group) dissolved in PBS was added to the above reactions for the co-modification of TRAIL mutant with PEG and Cy5. For the preparation of BSA-Cy5, BSA (1 mg/mL) was treated with TCEP HCl (10 eq) at 37 °C for 1 h to disrupt intermolecular disulfide bond. To the reduced BSA at room temperature was added sulfo-cyanine5-maleimide (2 eq/SH group), and reacted for 40 min. All the reactions were kept from light.
For the subsequent in vivo distribution expriments, BSA-Cy5 and PEG-N109C-Cy5 conjugates were desalted by centrifugal ultrafiltration (Amicon Ultra-0.5 mL 10K, Millipore), and then sterile filtered. Protein and drug concentrations were determined by spectral analysis. Due to the similar molecular weight of Cy5 (803 g/mol) with vcMMAE (1316.63 g/mol), Cy5-maleimide could be an ideal fluorescent marker without deviating from structural effect of conjugating PEG-N109C with MMAE.

Radiolabeling of Gold Nanoparticles

In a 2 mL eppendorf, 100 µL of 0.4 M ammonium acetate (pH ≈ 7) were mixed with 5 µL of the desired AuNPs (5 mg/mL in DI water) (AuNP-TDOTA and AuNP-SPTyr8). Following the addition of 3 µL of 177LuCl3 in 0.04 M HCl (37–74 MBq), the mixture was heated at 70 °C. After cooling to RT, radio-TLC analysis showed that a radiochemical yield >95 % was obtained. The solution was filtered in a Millipore Amicon Ultra 0.5 mL 10k and the filtered gold nanoconstructs washed with H2O (2 × 400 µL) and finally recovered from the filter in 150 μL of H2O. Thereafter, radio-TLC analysis showed that 177Lu-AuNP-TDOTA and 177Lu-AuNP-SPTyr8 were obtained with a radiochemical purity >95 %.

20 µL of NP solutions (5 mg/mL in DI water) was mixed with 350 µL of 0.4 M ammonium acetate (pH ≈ 7). To this mixture, 250 µL of 67GaCl3 (0.1 M HCl) was added, followed by heating at 70 °C for 30 min. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was then filtered through a Millipore Amicon Ultra 0.5 mL 10k. The collected gold nanoconstructs were diluted in 150 µL of H2O and their radiochemical purity assessed by ITLC-SG, using 6M HCl/MeOH (5:95) as an eluent. All nanoparticles were obtained with a final radiochemical purity >95%.

In a 2 mL eppendorf, 350 µL of 0.4 M ammonium acetate (pH ≈ 7) were mixed with 20 µL of the desired AuNPs (5 mg/mL in DI water) (AuNP-TDOTA, AuNP-SP and AuNP-SPTyr8). Then, 250 µL of 67GaCl3 in 0.1 M HCl (37–74 MBq) were added. The mixture was heated at 70 °C for 30 min and, after cooling to RT, radio-TLC analysis showed that a radiochemical yield >95 % was obtained. The solution was filtered in a Millipore Amicon Ultra 0.5 mL 10k and the filtered gold nanoconstructs washed with H2O (2 × 400 µL) and finally recovered from the filter in 150 μL of H2O. Thereafter, radio-TLC analysis showed that 67Ga-AuNP-TDOTA, 67Ga-AuNP-SP and 67Ga-AuNP-SPTyr8 were obtained with a radiochemical purity >95 %.

In a 2 mL eppendorf, 350 µL of 0.4 M ammonium acetate (pH ≈ 7) were mixed with 30 µL of AuNP-BBN-Pt1 (5 mg/mL in DI water) or 40 µL of AuNP-BBN-Pt2/AuNP-BBN-Pt3 (5 mg/mL in DI water). To this mixture, 250 µL of 67GaCl3 in 0.1 M HCl (20-70 MBq) were added. The mixture was heated at 70 °C for 30 minutes The solution was then filtered in a Millipore Amicon Ultra 0.5 mL 10k to recover the 67Ga-labeled AuNPs (radiochemical yield > 95 %). The radiochemical purity of the collected gold nanoconstructs was assessed by radio-TLC (> 95 %), using an ITLC-SG support and CH3OH/HCl 6M (95:5) as eluent system.

Quantifying Hold-up Volumes in BWEC Devices

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Example 5

Hold-up volumes were evaluated with bind-wash-elute-concentrate (BWEC) devices and diaphragm caps. The devices were pre-washed with 1.5 ml BSA (1 mg/ml PBS) at 4000×g for 2 minutes, and then 0.5 ml BSA (1 mg/ml PBS) was added to each of the devices after assembling with a 0.5 μm filter device (AMICON ULTRA 0.5 ml 10K, available from EMD Millipore Corporation), followed by centrifugation for 15 minutes at 4000×g. The hold-up volumes were calculated by weight difference of the devices before and after actuating the diaphragm. The results are shown in FIG. 26, and demonstrate that actuation of the diaphragm results in the recovery of more than 1.5 μl of sample compared to no diaphragm.

Example 6

Bind-wash-elute (BWE) devices were evaluated on buffer exchange. 50 μl of 10 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 1 M NaCl was distributed to a filter device (AMICON ULTRA 0.5 ml 10K, available from EMD Millipore Corporation) and assembled into exchange tubes and centrifuged at 4000×g for 15 minutes after adding 1.5 ml of 10 mM Tris, pH 7.5 to the exchange tube. The retentates were collected by reverse spin for 2 minutes at 1000×g and the final volume was adjusted to 100 μl with 10 mM Tris. Conductivities were measured after adding 4.9 ml Milli-Q water. For the 3-spin control, buffer exchange was carried out by three consecutive washes with 0.5 ml. FIG. 27 shows that bind-wash-elute performed equivalent to the 3-spin method despite only a single spin.

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.
