The total dose of CTB-ACE2 in the 2 g gum tablet was examined by western blot technique. 100 mg of the crushed gum powder was suspended in 500 μL of plant extraction buffer (PEB) (100 mM NaCl; 10 mM EDTA; 200 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0; 0.05% (v/v) Tween-20; 1 x protease inhibitor cocktail (PIC); 0.1% SDS; 14 mM β -Mercapto-ethanol; 400 mM sucrose; and 2 mM Phenyl-methylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF)) and incubated for 1 h at 4 °C on a vortex. This was followed by sonication for 9 cycles at 80% amplitude for 10s on and 15s off using a sonicator 3000 (Misonix, Farmingdale, NY). Bradford assay for total protein quantitation followed by immunoblot analysis for total CTB-ACE2 dose quantitation were performed following protocols developed by Daniell lab [35 (link)].

Sonogel–carbon was synthesized by mixing 500 µL of trimethoxymethylsilane and 100 µL of HCl 0.2 M, as reported in [18 (link)]. The mixture was homogenized using a high-power ultrasound generator, Sonicator 3000, from Misonix (Misonix, Inc., Farmingdale, NY, USA) (equipped with a 13 mm titanium tip), which provides a maximum power of 600 W. In this case, the energy applied was between 90 and 100 joules. After sonication, 0.5 g of graphite powder was added to the mixture and well homogenized. Then the SNGCEs were prepared by inserting the material obtained into glass capillary tubes (internal diameter of 1.15 and external diameter of 1.55 mm) and connecting the ceramic material to a copper wire for electric contact.

Fresh fecal samples were taken from all participants for metabolites extraction. Metabolites extraction was performed by adding 1.2 ml of cold (-80°C) high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-grade methanol to fecal samples. Samples were vortex-mixed followed by sonicated for 30 s (Sonicator® 3000; Misonix) on liquid nitrogen. This protocol was repeated five times with a 60-min storage period at -80°C between each cycle. The final pellet was removed by centrifugation at 16,000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C, and the supernatant was stored at -80°C. The methanolic extract was centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 20 min at 4°C to precipitate any solid impurity. The supernatant was analyzed by high-performance liquid phase chromatography and gas chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-GC/MS-MS, Metabolon, Inc., Durham, NC, USA) as described previously (Sha et al., 2010 (link)).

This process immobilized a hexafluoroisopropanol group-containing chemoselective compound (selector), which has been shown to bind the target analyte DEEP4 (link), to semiconducting SWCNTs. A small sheet (15 mm × 15 mm) of semiconducting SWCNTs (IsoNanotubes-S. NanoIntegris Technologies, Inc., Boisbriand, Quebec, Canada) was immersed in dimethylformamide (DMF) and then sonicated slightly (10 seconds at power level 10) with a probe sonicator (Sonicator 3000, Misonix, Farmingdale, NY, USA). After a short centrifugation (4, 500 × g, 1 min) (5804R centrifuge, Eppendorf North America, Hauppauge, NY, USA), the resulting SWCNT particle suspension was incubated with a 5 mg/ml DMF-based solution of 2-(2-hydroxy-1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3-hexafluoropropyl)-1-naphthol (Synquest Laboratories, Inc., Alachua, FL, USA) for 2 hours in an incubator shaker (25 °C, 90 rpm). After a centrifugation (4,500 × g, 5 min) to remove the unbound selector, the resulting SWCNT pellets were washed 3 times with DMF with a centrifugation (4,500 × g, 5 min) between each wash, and re-suspended in DMF. The suspension was further sonicated with the probe sonicator until a homogeneous DMF-based solution of SWCNT-selector complexes was obtained.

[0.2 mg/mL) and incubated at 37 °C on a conventional shaking incubator at 220 rpm (Innova40, New Brunswick Scientific, Edison, NJ, USA). After 2, 4, 6 and 8 h, 1 mL sample per reaction was harvested, aliquoted into two Eppendorf vials and shock-frozen in liquid nitrogen. Microsome fraction was released by 3 freeze/thaw cycles and subsequent sonication 5 times for 3 s on ice at half-maximum power (Sonicator 3000, Misonix, Farmingdale, NY, USA). Then, the sample was added to 1.5 parts (v/v) ethyl acetate, mixed and spun down (9300× g, 1 min, 4 °C). The organic phase was harvested using a Hamilton microliter syringe and transferred into a GC glass vial. After removing ethyl acetate using a vacuum centrifuge, BaP metabolites were dissolved in DMSO at a final concentration of 5 µg/mL.

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.
