Protein release from OA tissues and stimulated SFs into the CM was evaluated using multiplex bead-based sandwich immunoassay kits. Concentrations of 11 biomolecules (EGF, Eotaxin, FGF-2, IL-10, IL-1Ra, IL-8, IP-10, MCP-1, PDGF-AB/BB, RANTES, VEGF) were quantified at least in duplicate for each sample using MILLIPLEX® Assays (Merck KGaA, Gernsheim, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s protocol and the MAGPIX Luminex platform. Briefly, 25 µL of the standards, controls and samples was added to each well, and then 25 µL of antibody-immobilized beads was added. The plate was incubated overnight at 4 °C, then washed with 200 µL washing buffer and incubated with 25 µL of detection antibodies for 1 h at RT. Finally, the plate was incubated with 25 µL of streptavidin-PE for 30 min at RT, washed and measured in a reader. Next, xPONENT software 4.2 for MAGPIX (Luminex Corporation, Austin, TX) and Bio-Plex Manager 6.1 (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA) were used for data analysis. Once standard curves were generated, concentrations were interpolated for each sample using a 5-parameter curve fitting equation and expressed in pg/mL.

Cryopreserved plasma samples were thawed and mixed by vortexing before assays were performed. Cytokine/Chemokine levels were measured using the Millipore Milliplex® assays (Map Human Cytokine/Chemokine Panel I and IV) and analysed on a BioPlex-200 system (Bio-Rad). The Human Cytokine/Chemokine Panel I included the following cytokines and chemokines: pro-inflammatory [IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12(p40), IL-12(p70), TNFα, IFNα2], chemokines (IL-8, IP-10, MCP-1, MCP-3, MIP1α, MIP1β), adaptive (IFNγ, IL-4, IL-15, IL-17α), anti-inflammatory (IL-10, IL-1RA), and growth factors (VEGF).
The Human Cytokine/Chemokine Panel IV included the following cytokines: IFNβ and IL-28B/IFNλ3. Soluble CD14 (sCD14) levels were measured using the Human CD14 Quantikine® ELISA Kit and human Lipopolysaccharide-Binding Protein (LBP) plasma levels were measured using the LBP kit (R&D Systems Inc, USA). All assays were performed following manufacturer’s instructions. Samples with values outside the range of the standard curve were assigned the value half the limit of detection in pg/mL, LOD/2.

Concentrations of 11 analytes (EGF, FGF-2, IL-10, IL-8, IL-1Ra, IP-10, MCP-1, Eotaxin, PDGF-AB/BB, RANTES, VEGF) were quantified by a triplicate for each serum sample/time point using MILLIPLEX® Assays (Millipore, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) to determine the mean of fluorescence intensity (MFI) values according to the manufacturer’s protocol and the MAGPIX Luminex platform. xPONENT software version 4.2 for MAGPIX (Luminex Corporation, Austin, TX, USA) and Bio-Plex Manager 6.1 (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA) were used for data analysis. After creating a standard curve, concentrations were interpolated for each sample and expressed as pg/mL.

Multiplexed Protein Quantification in Bloodspots

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The BBV Core performed multiplexed magnetic fluorescent bead-based immunoassays (Milliplex assays, Millipore) to measure levels of neuroprotective factors (BDNF, IGF-1, FGF-2, VEGF-A) and inflammatory biomarkers (TNFα, CRP, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IFN-γ) in the bloodspot extracts. Quantification was based on standard curves included in each assay run.
These assays essentially are sandwich ELISAs performed on the surface of beads that can be multiplexed due to the fluorescent nature of the beads and thus require much smaller sample volumes than traditional ELISAs performed as single-plex assays. The Milliplex assays were performed following manufacturer’s protocol in batches which included all three timepoints for each patient. Briefly, this involved overnight incubation of the protein extract at 4 °C with the magnetic beads on an orbital shaker (600 rpm) followed by addition of a biotinylated detection antibody and a streptavidin-conjugated phycoerythrin reporter. Media fluorescence intensity (MFI) was measured for all unknown samples and standards using a Bioplex 200 instrument (BioRad). The Bioplex Manager software (v 4.1.1) was used to generate standard curves for each analyte and calculate the analyte concentrations in each unknown sample. Analyte concentrations were normalized to total protein in each sample.

Supernatants collected 24 h after infection at a MOI of 3, and D0–D5 after infection at a MOI of 0.1, were used to quantify secreted cytokines. IFN-β, RANTES/CCL5, IP-10/CXCL10 and IL-1β were quantified using ALPHAlisa (Perkin Elmer), IFN-λ1 and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) were quantified using standard ELISA (eBioScience). IFN-λ2/3, IFN-α, and IFN-γ were quantified by Milliplex assay (Millipore). RNA was extracted from cells infected at a MOI of 3, and RT-qPCR performed to quantify IRF7, Mx1 and IL-33 mRNA (see online supplementary information).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A Milliplex assay (Millipore) was used to analyse G-CSF protein expression in the skeletal muscle and plasma samples following the manufacturer's protocol (Millipore). Briefly, the samples and standards were added to a 96 well plate containing premixed beads coated with G-CSF antibody. Following a 30 min incubation plates were washed three times then incubated with pre-mixed detection antibodies. Wells were then washed and incubated with streptavidin-phycoerythrin. After a final series of washes samples were resuspended in 125 μ l of assay buffer. The plate was read on the Bio-Plex Suspension Array System (V.5.0, Bio-Rad). For skeletal muscle, samples were extracted according to the protein extraction method described above and diluted to 1000 μg/ml prior to the assay. Plasma samples were run undiluted. Intra-assay coefficient of variation (CV%) was 4.2% for the plasma and 7.1% for the diaphragm homogenate.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Measurement of the levels of cytokines within plasma collected at post-natal day 7 and 120 was performed using Luminex 200 system (Luminex, Austin, Tex.). Plasma concentrations of interleukin (IL) -2, interferon-γ (IFN-γ), IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, and IL-17A were assessed using the Milliplex Assay (Millipore) system. The study method was modified from previously reported methods [24] (link), [25] (link). Antibody conjugated beads were incubated first with diluted standards or plasma from animal subjects for 2 hours and then with detector antibodies for 1 hour at room temperature. Fluorescent detection was performed after the sample had been incubated for 1.5 hours with biotin as reporter and incubated for 30 min with fluorescent dye-conjugated streptavidin-phycoerythrin. Cytokine levels were measured by using a flow cytometer and were analyzed with Flowmetrix software (Master Plex QT 1.2 system) [24] (link).

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.
