Levels of fibrosis biomarkers were measured on EDTA plasma by ELISA or multiplex assay using commercially available kits. HA (Echelon Biosciences, Salt Lake City, UT), LOXL2 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, Minnesota), and CICP and CIC C1Q (Quidel, San Diego, CA) were measured by ELISA. PAI-1, PCSK9, TGF-β1-3, MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, CXCL4, Chi3L1 (all R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) were measured using Luminex xMAP technology. All analytes except LOXL2 were measured according to the manufacturers’ instructions. For LOXL2, the ELISA plates were coated overnight with capture antibody at room temperature. The plate was blocked with reagent diluent 1 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) for 1 hour and washed. Plasma was diluted 1:10 in PBS-Tween 10 and added to the plate. After incubating for 2 hours at 37° C and washing, detection antibody was added for 2 hours at 37° C. The plate was washed, streptavidin was added and the plate was incubated for 20 minutes at room temperature. After washing, TMB was added (Sigma-Aldrich Corp., St. Louis, MO), the plate was incubated for 20 minutes at room temperature, and sulfuric acid was added to stop the reaction. The plate was read at 450 nm.

Plasma samples were prepared in 10 mM EDTA from whole blood collected by terminal cardiac puncture. Cells were removed from plasma by centrifugation. 96-well plates were coated with capture rat anti-mouse C3a antibody (BD Pharmingen, 558250) at 1 μg/µl in pH 6.5 PBS overnight at 4°C. Samples were diluted 1:100 in Reagent Diluent (Reagent Diluent 1, R&D Systems, DY997) and incubated overnight at 4°C. Biotin rat anti-mouse C3a antibody at 0.5 μg/µl (BD Pharmigen, 558251) was used, and analyzed by ELISA using the manufacturer’s protocol.

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.
