Samples of vaginal wash and serum were collected from the mice at the indicated time points.17 , 26 (link) Gonococcus-specific IgA, IgG, IgM, and IgG subclass antibodies IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, and IgG3 in vaginal washes and sera were measured by ELISA on plates coated with whole gonococci, using undiluted vaginal wash and 10-fold diluted serum as starting dilutions. 17 , 26 (link) Total IgA, IgG, and IgM concentrations in secretions were assayed by ELISA on plates coated with anti-IgA, -IgG, or -IgM antibodies (Southern Biotech, Birmingham, AL). H5 mouse monoclonal antibody (specific for N. gonorrhoeae porin serovar PIB3) or affinity-purified mouse IgA, IgG, and IgM (Southern Biotech) were used to establish standard curves. Bound antibodies were detected by alkaline phosphatase-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgA, IgG, IgM, IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, or IgG3 antibody (Southern Biotech) and p-nitrophenylphosphate substrate (Southern Biotech). Plates were read in a VersaMax microplate reader with SoftMax software (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA) or an ELX800 Universal microplate reader with KC Junior software (Bio-Tek Instruments, Winooski, VT). Antibody data were expressed as relative (fold increase) to the antibody levels detected in control samples (from sham-immunized mice) assayed simultaneously.

Gonococcus-specific Antibody Assays

Samples of serum, vaginal wash, and saliva were collected from the mice 2 weeks after the last immunization, or at termination of the experiment after clearance of the infection (~2 weeks after inoculation) (10 (link), 33 (link)). Gonococcus-specific IgG and IgA antibodies in serum and vaginal washes were assayed by ELISA on plates coated with whole gonococci of the strain used for vaginal challenge unless stated otherwise (10 (link), 33 (link)). Total IgA and IgG concentrations in secretions were assayed by ELISA on plates coated with anti-IgA or anti-IgG antibodies (Southern Biotech, Birmingham, AL). H5 mouse monoclonal antibody (specific for N. gonorrhoeae porin serovar PIB3 in FA1090) was used to establish standard curves when IgG antibodies were being assayed against FA1090. Otherwise, affinity-purified mouse IgG or IgA (Southern Biotech) was used to establish standard curves on plates coated with anti-mouse IgG or IgA, respectively. Bound antibodies were detected by alkaline phosphatase-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG or IgA antibody (Southern Biotech) and p-nitrophenyl phosphate substrate (Southern Biotech). Plates were read in an ELX800 Universal microplate reader with Gen 5 software (Bio-Tek Instruments, Winooski, VT).

ELISA and Immunoblotting for C. rodentium-specific Ig

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For measurement of C. rodentium-specific Ig by ELISA, 96-well ELISA plates were coated with heat-killed C. rodentium. Diluted serum or luminal content were then added to the coated plate, and the presence of C. rodentium-specific Igs was detected by alkaline phosphatase-conjugated polyclonal goat anti-mouse IgG, IgM or IgA Abs (Southern Biotechnology Associates, Birmingham, AL). Plates were developed using p-nitrophenyl phosphate substrate (Southern Biotechnology Associates) and OD405 values determined. For detection of C. rodentium-specific Ig by immunoblotting, heat-killed WT C. rodentium, Δler mutant strain or purified C. rodentium Intimin were loaded with 12% SDS-PAGE, and proteins detected with anti-mouse IgG antibody and enhanced chemiluminescent substrate (Thermo Scientific).

ELISA Antibody Titer Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Serum samples were obtained from blood collected from the submandibular vein at the indicated timepoints. Plates were coated with either goat anti-mouse IgG (SouthernBiotech), NP30-BSA and NP7-BSA (Biosearch Technologies), or heat-inactivated IAVs overnight at 4°C. Serum samples underwent twofold serial dilutions starting from the indicated initial dilution. Bound antibodies were detected using alkaline phosphatase–conjugated anti-IgG1/2b/2c/3, IgM or IgA, and p-nitrophenyl phosphate substrate (SouthernBiotech). The reaction was stopped by adding 1.5 N NaOH solution, and optical density was measured at 405 nm.

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.
