Sera from uveal and CM patients were assayed to evaluate the levels of cytokines and soluble immune checkpoint molecules (sICs) by multiplex immunoassay analysis using the ProcartaPlex Human Inflammation Panel (20 Plex, catalog number EPX200-12185-901; sE-Selectin; GM-CSF; ICAM-1/CD54; IFN alpha; IFN gamma; IL-1 alpha; IL-1 beta; IL-4; IL-6; IL-8; IL-10; IL-12p70; IL-13; IL-17A/CTLA-8; IP-10/CXCL10; MCP-1/CCL2; MIP-1alpha/CCL3; MIP-1 beta/CCL4; sP-Selectin; TNF alpha) (eBioscence) and the Human Immuno-Oncology Checkpoint 14-plex ProcartaPlex Panel 1 (catalog number EPX14A-15803-901; BTLA; GITR; HVEM; IDO; LAG-3: 47; PD-1; PD-L1; PD-L2; TIM-3; CD28; CD80; CD137; CD27; CD152) (eBioscence). Assay was conducted using 50 µl of serum for each sample and adding it in a 96-well plate with a mixture of color-coded magnetic beads coated with antibody that recognize specific analytes. Later, biotinylated detection antibodies that bind analytes of interest were added and then bound to Phycoerythrin-conjugated streptavidin that through its signal intensity allow to detect the analyte concentration. Samples were measured using Luminex 200 platform (BioPlex, Bio-Rad) and data, expressed in pg/ml of protein, were analyzed using Bio-Plex Manager Software.

Cord Blood Biomarker Profiling for EOS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Nine APR proteins were measured in cord blood: PCT, CRP, haptoglobin (Hp), ferritin, fibrinogen, tissue plasminogen activator, serum amyloid A (SAA), serum amyloid P (SAP), and α-2-macroglobulin. These markers were selected upon careful review of the literature for potentially promising markers of EOS and available platforms from commercially available kits [7 (link), 32 (link)–39 (link)]. The proteins were measured in cord blood plasma in duplicate using magnetic bead-based immunoassays (Bio-Plex ProTM Human Acute Phase Multiplex Assays [4-plex (α-2-macroglobulin, CRP, Hp, SAP) and 5-plex (ferritin, fibrinogen, PCT, SAA, tissue plasminogen activator)]; Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc.; Hercules, CA). Samples were thawed on ice and prepared in 1:1000 and 1:100 dilution for the respective panels. The kits were run on a Luminex 200 platform with Bio-Plex Manager 6.1 and Milliplex Analyst 5.1 software used for analysis. A 5 parameter logistic regression was used for standard curve fitting. Coefficient of variation for biomarkers were 0.53%-1.81%. The samples were prepared and assays were performed in the Comprehensive Metabolic Core at Northwestern University. Turnaround time to obtain results from this assay is 8 hours.

We evaluated the following sICs: CTLA4, CD137, PD-L1, PD-L2, PD-1, LAG3, BTLA, IDO, TIM3, CD80, GITR, HVEM, CD27 and CD28. For each patient, 50 μL of serum was used and added to a 96-well plate together with a mixture of magnetic beads coated with antibody according to the manufacturer’s instructions. A biotinylated detection antibody was added to the plate and then bound to phycoerythrin (PE)-conjugated streptavidin. Samples were analyzed using Luminex 200 platform (BioPlex, Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). Data are expressed in pg/mL and were analyzed with Bio-Plex Manager Software.

Maternal Biomarkers in Term and Preterm Birth

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood samples of labouring women (either term or preterm) were collected by the attending midwife upon admission to the labour and delivery ward using serum separating tubes. Women at term not in labour were sampled prior to their Caesarean section. Gestational age matched controls were enrolled from the prenatal clinic. These pregnant women were screened at 20-22 weeks (structural ultrasound) to verify whether they fulfilled the inclusion criteria. These women were matched for week of gestation with a PTB case. Sampling was performed during a subsequent prenatal consultation at the appropriate gestational age.
Samples were stored at 4°C until centrifugation. Blood samples were centrifuged at 1000 g for 10 minutes at room temperature to harvest serum. All samples were stored at -80 °C until analysis.
sTREM-1 concentrations were determined using an enzyme-linked immunoassay. Concentrations of MMP-3, -9 and -13 and TIMP-1, -2, -3 and -4 were assessed using a Human Matrix Metalloproteinases 3-Plex Panel and Human TIMP Multiplex Kit. Multiple proteins were analysed using a multiplex bead immunoassay (Human Cytokine 30-plex Panel). All multiplexes were run on a Luminex 200 platform equipped with Bio-Plex software.

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.
