ELISA plates (Costar) were coated with 50 μl of coating buffer (35 mM
Na2CO3, 15 mM NaHCO3, pH 9.6) containing 100
μg/ml of mannan from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Sigma) or
1% BSA (negative control) and incubated overnight at 4°C. After a one hour
blockage of the wells with blocking buffer (1% BSA in PBS), 1% NHS diluted
in GVB2+ was added together with different concentrations of
An. albimanus SGH or recombinant protein dissolved in PBS (final volume
of 100 μl/well) and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. Wells incubated with
serum and no inhibitor were used as positive controls. The wells were washed with PBS-Tw
(0.05% Tween-20 in PBS) and incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature with
blocking buffer containing anti-C3 antibody diluted 1:1000. After two washes, 50
μl of blocking buffer containing conjugated antibody (Sigma) diluted 1:1500 were
added to the wells. After two more washes, the wells were filled with 200 μL of
developing buffer (50 mM Na3C6H5O7, 50 mM
Na2HPO4, 1 mg/ml o-phenylenediamine (Sigma) and 0.075 %
H2O2, pH 5.0) and read at 450 nm and 37°C for 10 min in
the kinetic mode. The assays were done in duplicate and the means of the negative control
were subtracted of the other means. The results were transformed in percentage of C3
activation, considering the positive control as 100% of activation and then
analyzed using ANOVA and the Tukey test.

After 4 days of derivation, the BM-DCs were stimulated for 1, 3 and 6 h with the following (n = 3 wells/treatment): RPMI-1640, 2.5 doses/well (equivalent to at least 2.5 × 103.5 EID50) UV-inactivated IBV (Nobilis IB Ma5 Vet vaccine, MSD Animal Health), 100 µg/mL pustulan from Lasallia pustulata (InvivoGen, San Diego, CA, USA), 500 µg/mL Mannan from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Sigma-Aldrich), 200 µg/mL chitosan (Sigma-Aldrich, cat. no. C3646), 10 µg/mL furfurman from Malassezia furfur (InvivoGen, cat. no. tlrl-ffm), 50 µg/mL MMG, or 50 µg/mL TDB. MMG and TDB were provided by Statens Serum Institut. Post stimulation, the BM-DCs were washed 3 times in ice-cold PBS, incubated in 10 mM EDTA on ice for 10 min and detached by thoroughly pipetting up and down. Subsequently, the cells were analysed by flow cytometry. The level of endotoxin contamination was determined by providers or previous studies to be insignificant in the glycan-based ligand concentrations used [34 (link),37 (link),38 (link)].

Complement Pathway ELISA Protocol

Complement ELISAs were performed as previously described (37 (link)) with minor modifications. Briefly, microtiter plates (Nunc maxisorp) were pre-coated with 3 µg/mL IgM (Sigma) for classical pathway (CP) ELISA, with 20 µg/ml LPS (from Salmonella enteriditis, Sigma) for alternative pathway (AP) ELISA and with 20 µg/mL mannan (from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Sigma) for lectin pathway (LP) ELISA. All coatings were prepared in 0.1 M carbonate buffer (pH 9) and incubated overnight at room temp. Plasma samples were diluted in Veronal Buffered Saline (VBS) + 0.1% gelatin + 5 mM MgCl2 + 10 mM EGTA for AP ELISA and in VBS + 0.1% gelatin + 0.5 mM CaCl2 + 0.25 mM MgCl2 for CP ELISA and LP ELISA. After washing the plates with PBS 0.05% Tween-20, wells were blocked with 4% BSA in PBS-Tween. Then, plasma samples were added for 1 hour at 37°C in the appropriate buffer and dilutions. After additional washing, deposited C3b was detected using DIG-labelled mouse anti C3 antibody (WM1, 0.1 µg/mL) followed by Peroxidase conjugated sheep anti-DIG-Fab fragments (1:8000, Roche 11207733910). Finally, the plates were washed and developed using 3,3’,5,5’-tetramethylbenzidine (Thermo Fisher). The reaction was stopped by addition of 1 N H2SO4. Absorption at 450nm was measured using a microplate reader (Biorad).

Inhibiting C-type Lectin Receptors with Mannan

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The antibodies used in the experiments were Mouse IgG2a Isotype Control (Invitrogen), MERS Coronavirus Spike Protein neutralizing Antibody MA5-29975 (Invitrogen), Invitrogen CD26 Monoclonal Antibody (BA5b) (Invitrogen), Human DC-SIGN+DC-SIGNR Antibody (R&D Systems), PE anti-human CD209 (DC-SIGN) Antibody (Biolegend), and CD26 Monoclonal Antibody (BA5b) PE (Invitrogen). As a lectin-binding control, mannan from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Sigma-Aldrich) was used. Mannan is used in experiments to inhibit C-type lectin receptors, such as DC-SIGN due to its ability to block the interaction between these receptors and viral or pathogenic ligands. Being a complex polysaccharide, mannan competes with the binding sites of the receptors, acting as a decoy and preventing the attachment of infectious agents to host cells (Jan et al., 2018 (link)).

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.
