After 24 h of treatment, total protein was isolated from cells by RIPA lysate with protease inhibitor and phosphatase inhibitor. After determining the protein concentration by the BCA protein assay kit, 20 μg protein was added into each well of the vertical electrophoresis tank and separated by 10% SDS-PAGE. Subsequently, the protein was transferred onto the PVDF membrane. The Power Pac basic power supply, Wide mini-sub cell GT system, Trans-Blot SD Semi-Dry electrophoretic transfer tank were all provided by Bio-Rad (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Hercules, CA, USA). After being blocked by 5% skim-milk for 2 h, then the incubation of primary antibodies (TNF-α, p65, p-p65, IκBα, p-IκBα, GBP2, IRF1, SAMHD1, p-SAMHD1, β-actin, GAPDH, 1:2000) was performed overnight at 4 °C. After washing by TBST three times for 30 min, the secondary antibodies (anti-rabbit IgG HRP-linked antibody, 1:2000) were incubated for 1 h at room temperature. After TBST wash, the ECL chromogenic substrate was used to detect specific bands in Image Quant LAS 500 (GE HealthCare Technologies Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). The gray value was estimated by Image J software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA) normalized to β-actin.

The hrCN PAGE protocol was adapted from Lemaire et al. (2018) (link). Glycerol was added to the sample at a final amount of 20% (v/v). Ponceau S at a final concentration of 0.001% (w/v) served as a marker to follow the migration. The buffer composition for the electrophoresis cathode was the following: 50 mM tricine, 15 mM Bis-Tris/HCl, pH 7.0, 0.05% (w/v) sodium deoxycholate, 2 mM DTT, and 0.01% (w/v) dodecyl maltoside, whilst the anode buffer contained 50 mM Bis-Tris/HCl, PH 7.0, 2 mM DTT. An 8–15% linear polyacrylamide gradient gel was used, and electrophoresis was run under a N2/CO2 (90:10%) atmosphere with a constant 40 mA current (PowerPac Basic Power Supply, Bio-Rad). After electrophoresis, protein bands were visualised with Ready Blue Protein Gel stain (Sigma Aldrich, Hamburg, Germany). The native protein ladder used is NativeMark Unstained Protein Standard (Thermo Fischer Scientific, Driesch, Germany).
The determination of the oligomeric state by gel filtration was performed in triplicate on a Superose 6 Increase 10/300 GL (GE Healthcare, Munich, Germany) in 25 mM Tris/HCl pH 7.6, 2 mM DTT, 10% (v/v) glycerol at a flow rate of 0.4 ml/min, and in an anaerobic Coy tent containing an N2/H2 (97:3%) atmosphere. High molecular weight range gel filtration calibration kit (GE Healthcare, Munich, Germany) was used as the protein standard.

A total of nine genes associated with virulence in P. multocida (sodA, ompH, tbpA, tadD, hsf1, hgbB, pfhA, ptfA, and toxA) were investigated. Three multiplex PCR reactions were established to detect the virulence factors sodA, ompH, and tbpA (reaction 1), virulence factors tadD, hsf1, and hgbB (reaction 2), and virulence factors pfhA and ptfA (reaction 3). The toxA gene was detected by simplex PCR reaction as previously described [18 (link)]. The PCR conditions, adapted from Gharib Mombeni et al. [37 (link)], were as follows: initial denaturation at 94 °C for 15 min; 25 cycles at 94 °C for 30 s, at 53 °C for 30 s, and at 72 °C for 60 s; with a final extension at 72 °C for 10 min. All reactions were performed using an MJ Mini Gradient Thermal Cycler (Bio-Rad, England). Simplex Taq PCR and Multiplex PCR Master Mix kits from Qiagen (Germantown, USA) were used in the reactions. PCR-generated products were detected by electrophoresis in 2.0% agarose gels supplemented with 1X SYBR safe DNA gel stain (Invitrogen SA) using a PowerPac basic power supply (Bio-Rad) at 90 V and 400 mA for 45 min. P. multocida strains NCTC 10322 (cap-A, tadD, pfhA, ptfA), NCTC 10323 (cap-B, tbpA, hgbB), NCTC 12178 (cap-D, lps-6, ompH, toxA), NCTC 10326 (cap-E, lps-2, sodA), and C104013 (cap-F, lps-3, hsf-1) were used as positive controls for the genes indicated.

Small-scale anti-HER2 mAb was purified using NAb Protein A Plus Spin Kit. Large-scale mAb purification using Bio-Rad NGC system (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) equipped with a UNOsphere SUPrA column was conducted according to the manufacturer’s protocols, including column equilibration, sample loading, column washing, and antibody elution. The equilibration buffer was comprised of 0.02 M sodium phosphate and 0.02 M sodium citrate at pH 7.5. Elution buffer contained 0.02 M sodium citrate and 0.1 M sodium chloride at pH 3.0. The pH of eluted mAb was neutralized to 7.0 with 1 M Tris solution. The mAb purity was examined by SDS-PAGE under natural condition using NuPAGE 4–12% Bis-Tris Protein Gels (1.0 mm, 10-well) and a PowerPac Basic Power Supply (Bio-Rad). The surface binding of our anti-HER2 mAb was analyzed using BD LSRII flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) after incubating cells with 1 μg of Alexa Fluor 488-labeled mAb/million cells on ice for 30 min.

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.
