Enzyme Treatment of Enriched Reticulocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Enriched reticulocytes were prepared with up to 50% hematocrit. Then, the erythrocytes were washed with 500 μl of incomplete RPMI 1640 medium twice by centrifugation at 500 ×g for 3 min at 4°C. Then, the erythrocytes were treated with either neuraminidase (100 mU; from Vibrio cholerae, Sigma-Aldrich Co.), trypsin (0.5 mg; from bovine pancreas, Sigma-Aldrich Co.) or chymotrypsin (0.5 mg; from bovine pancreas, Sigma-Aldrich Co.) at 37°C on a rotator for 1 hr. After enzyme treatment, chymotrypsin- and trypsin-treated RBCs were incubated with a trypsin inhibitor from soybean (Glycine max) (Sigma-Aldrich Co.) at 37°C for 10 min and subsequently washed three times with 10 ml of incomplete RPMI 1640 medium. Packed cells were prepared at a concentration of 1 × 106 cell/ml and used for flow cytometry analysis.

Lectins from: Pisum sativum (L5380), Arachis hypogaea (L0881), Triticum vulgaris (L9640), Glycine max (L1395), Phaseolus vulgaris (61764), Agaricus bisprous (L5640), Lycopersicon esculentum (L2886) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, dissolved in sterile phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and stored at 4°C in a concentration of 1 mg/mL. Succinyl-WGA (W0110) and wheat germ agglutinin FITC-conjugate (L4895), were purchased at Vector Laboratories and Sigma-Aldrich, respectively. These variants were also dissolved in sterile phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and stored at 4°C in a concentration of 1 mg/mL. Lectin from Sambucus nigra (ZB0106) was purchased from Vector Laboratories. Detailed information on each lectin is included in Table 1 and obtained from Sigma-Aldrich product sheets.

Protease Inhibitor Activity Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Extraction of proteins from 100‐ to 150‐mg samples and analysis of PI activity followed a previously described method (Tremacoldi and Pascholati 2002; Sarmento et al. 2011) with BApNA (Nα‐benzoyl‐DL‐arginine‐4‐nitroanilide hydrochloride, Sigma‐Aldrich, Israel) as the substrate (Mueller and Weder 1989). Absorption of the extracts was measured at 405 nm; extraction buffer with or without standard soybean trypsin (Glycine max, Sigma‐Aldrich; 0.1 mg/mL in 1 mmol/L HCl) was used as a control. Based on Thaler et al. (1996), PI activity was calculated as the percentage of trypsin activity relative to controls (Thaler et al. 1996).

PtdSer derived from bovine brain or soybean (Glycine max; purity ≥ 98%) and phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) (purity ≥ 98%; both from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) were dissolved in chloroform/methanol (90:10, v/v) . PSL was prepared from a lipid mixture of PtdSer (14 mM) and PtdCho (33 mM) at a molar ratio of 3:7, with or without the fluorescent dye, 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-(carboxyfluorescein) ( ammonium salt; Avanti Polar Lipids, Inc., Alabaster, Alabama, USA) . The solvent was removed under nitrogen with stirring and dried in a desiccator overnight. The liposomal pellet was then resuspended in PBS (10 mg/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.
