ProtoArray microarrays (v4.0; Invitrogen) were purchased and used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, after blocking for 1 h at 4° C and washing, arrays were incubated in Quadriperm dishes (Greiner Bio One) placed on a horizontal shaker (50 rpm) for 90 min at 4° C with individual sera diluted 1:500 in 5 ml washing buffer (0.1% Tween 20 [vol/vol], 1% BSA [wt/vol] in PBS). After washing, binding of IgG was detected by incubation with Alexa Fluor 647 goat anti-human IgG (Invitrogen) diluted 1:2,000 in assay buffer for 90 min at 4° C. Arrays were washed again and dried by centrifugation. Arrays were scanned at 10-μm resolution using a microarray scanner (Axon 4200AL with GenePix Pro Software; Molecular Devices), and fluorescence was detected according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Images were saved as 16-bit TIFF files and analysis was performed using GenePix. The median net intensity in relative fluorescence units (rfu) was reported for each spot. Out of 9,481 antigens, 77 cancer-testis antigens were selected and analyzed for pre- and post-vaccine expression in the sera (Table 4).

ProtoArray Human Protein Microarrays v5.0 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) were purchased and used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
After blocking for 1 h at 4 °C and washing, arrays were incubated in quadriPERM dishes (Greiner Bio-One, Frickenhausen, Germany) placed on a horizontal shaker (50 rpm) for 90 min at 4 °C with individual sera diluted at 1:500 in 5 mL washing buffer (0.1% Tween 20 [v/v], 1% BSA [w/v] in PBS). After washing, binding of IgG was detected by incubation with Alexa Fluor 647–conjugated goat anti–human IgG (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA) diluted 1:2000 in assay buffer for 90 min at 4 °C. The arrays were washed again and dried by centrifugation. Arrays were scanned at a 10-μm resolution on a microarray scanner (Axon 4200AL with GenePix Pro Software; Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA), and fluorescence was detected according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Images were saved as 16-bit TIFF files, and analysis was performed using GenePix. The median net intensity in relative fluorescence units is reported for each spot.

Identifying Autoantibody Biomarkers for ACR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To identify significant autoantibodies, present at different concentrations in patients with ACR after transplantation, we performed the microarray analysis using serum samples from HCV-positive transplant recipients with ACR and control groups. ProtoArrays microarrays (v4.0; Invitrogen) were used to identify candidate autoantibodies to predict ACR according to the manufacturer's instructions. Respective sera were diluted 1:500 in washing buffer (0.1% Tween 20, 1% bovine serum albumin in phosphate buffered saline (PBS)). After blocking for an hour, the arrays were incubated with diluted sera for 90 minutes at 4°C in Quadriperm dishes (Greiner Bio One) using a horizontal shaker (50 rpm). After washing, the arrays were incubated with 1:2000 diluted Alexa Fluor 647 goat antihuman IgG for 90 minutes at 4°C to detect binding of IgG. The arrays were scanned at 10-μm resolution using a microarray scanner (Axon 4200AL with GenePix Pro Software; Molecular Devices). Fluorescent images were saved as 16-bit tif files and analyzed by GenePix. The median intensity of each spot in relative fluorescence units was recorded.

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.
