Characterizing CD22 Interactions by ITC

ITC experiments were performed using an Auto-ITC200 (Malvern Instruments). ITC measurements of CD2220–330 WT and mutants (K23S, R120A/E, R131A/E/K/Q) with α2-6 sialyllactose were collected using 70–110 μM of CD22 in the cell and 0.65–1.18 mM of α2-6 sialyllactose (Sigma-Aldrich) in the syringe. A total of 16 injections were performed with an injection volume of 2.5 μl, injection duration of 5, and 180 s spacing between injections. The cell temperature was set to 25 °C, with a stirring speed of 750 r.p.m. and a filter period of 5 s. All experiments were repeated at least in duplicates, and values were averaged and standard errors were calculated, based on a near 1:1 restricted binding stoichiometry. For Fab binding to CD22, 5 μM of CD22 was placed in the cell and 50 μM Fab was present in the syringe. A total of 16 injections were performed with an injection volume of 2.5 μl, injection duration of 5 s, and 180 s spacing between injections. The cell temperature was set to 35 °C, with a stirring speed of 750 r.p.m. and a filter period of 5 s. All experiments were repeated in triplicate, and values were averaged and standard errors were calculated.

HT1080 cells were maintained in DMEM with 3.7 g L−1 NaHCO3 and supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco) at 37 °C in a humidified environment containing 5% CO2. Then, 5 × 104 cells per well (6 wells per treatment) were seeded in 24-well plates (Nunc). After 16 h, cells were infected with 5 × 105 culture-derived trypomastigotes of the Cvd strain or the clone Q501/3 for 16 h and washed. Media were replaced 48 hours pi with FBS free media and 24 h later conditioned supernatants were collected (referred as supernatants), centrifuged and frozen-stored at −80 °C. Alternatively, cells were treated with 1 μg mL−1 BSA, recombinant aTS, iTS or neuraminidases from Salmonella typhimurium (Neu Sal) (Biolabs) or Clostridium perfringes (Neu Clost) (Sigma) and were processed as the infected cells. Three independent experiments were performed for each strain and neuraminidases. aTS activity was confirmed in the presence of 10 mmol L−1 Lactitol (Sigma), α2,3-sialyllactose or α2,6-sialyllactose (Carbosynth) as previously described [17 (link)]. For signalling inhibition assays, cells were preincubated with 10 μmol L−1 of Chelerythrine (LC Laboratories), U0126 or PP2 (Cell Signalling).

Ammonium acetate, ammonium hydroxide, N-acetyl-D-neuraminic acid (C11H19NO9, MW 309.3 Da), α-2,3-sialyllactose, α-2,6-sialyllactose, and fetuin from fetal calf serum were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). N-Acetyl-D-[1,2,3-13C3]-neuraminic acid internal standard (13C3C8H19NO9, MW 312.3 Da) was acquired from Omicron Biochemicals, Inc. (South Bend, IN). All chemicals were of the highest purity available and used without further purification. NA-Fluor 2× Assay buffer, 66.6 mM 2-(N-morpholino) ethanesulfonic acid (MES) buffer, 8 mM CaCl2, pH 6.5, was from Applied Biosystems (Foster City, CA). The LC column was from Imtakt USA (Portland, OR), and influenza vaccines A–F (Table 1) were commercially available.
During the implementation of the fluorescence method, the NA-Fluor Influenza Neuraminidase Assay kit from Applied Biosystems, Cat No. 4457091, was used. Ethanol absolute, 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU), and sodium chloride solution were from Sigma-Aldrich. 96-well opaque black flat-bottom plates from Corning (Corning, NY) were used with a SpectraMax M5e micro plate reader from Molecular Devices LLC (Sunnyvale, CA) for fluorescence measurements.

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.
