Quantification of Bacterial Lipopolysaccharide

MVs were quantified by measuring their lipopolysaccharide (LPS) content using the Purpald assay [36 (link)]. The standard test curve ranged from 0.05 to 0.4 mM of 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonate (Sigma-Aldrich). To 50 μl of each sample or standard, 50 μl of 32 mM NaIO4 (Sigma-Aldrich) was added, and the culture was incubated for 25 min, followed by the addition of 50 μl of 136 mM of Purpald® (Sigma-Aldrich) reagent in 2 N NaOH. After a further 20 min of incubation, 50 μl of 64 mM NaIO4 was added and the culture incubated for 20 min. Foam was eliminated from each well by the addition of 20 μl of 2-propanol. Absorbance (550 nm) was measured in a Modulus Microplate Multimode Reader (Turner Biosystems). LPS concentration of samples was normalized to 1 L of bacterial culture.

Catalase Activity Assay Protocol

The assay was performed as previously described with certain modifications [21 (link)]. Briefly, the cell lysates were collected and mixed with the test buffer in a 96-well plate, and 35 mM H2O2 was added to the reaction mixture, which was then incubated at room temperature for 10 min on a shaker. Next, we added 3 mg/mL of Purpald® (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) in 0.5 M KOH to each well. After the chromogenic substance was generated, potassium periodate was added to stop the reaction. The catalase activity was measured by reading the absorbance at 540 nm using a microplate reader and calculated from formaldehyde standard curves.

Preparation and Quantification of Salmonella Outer Membrane Vesicles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Yo-Pro®-1 iodide was obtained from Invitrogen (Thermo Fisher Scientific Life Technologies, Darmstadt, Germany), and Purpald® (4-Amino-3-hydrazino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole and 4-Amino-5-hydrazino-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol) was obtained from Sigma Aldrich (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany). The standard buffer in all experiments was 10 mM Tris–HCl and 4 mM MgCl2, pH 7.6. Salmonella strains S. Typhimurium AroA::Tn10 iroBC::kan (LPS and vesicle preparation) and S. Typhimurium DB 7136 LT2 (phage propagation) were from our laboratory collections (Tindall et al., 2005 (link)). The hypervesiculating strain S. Typhimurium ATCC 14028 MvP2390 was provided by Prof. Dr. Michael Hensel (University Osnabrück). Preparation of LPS has been described previously (Andres et al., 2010 (link)). LPS was quantified in all OMV samples by the Purpald® assay, and the protein content of OMV was determined with bicinchoninic acid (BCA; Smith et al., 1985 (link); Lee and Tsai, 1999 (link)). PEG 8000 was purchased from Roth (Carl Roth GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany). All other chemicals used were of analytic grade and double-distilled water was used throughout.

F101S PcAOX (13 μM) was reacted
with glycerol (205 mM) in 100 mM potassium phosphate pH 7.5 containing
2 mM 1,4-dithiothreitol and 1014 U catalase (Micrococcus lysodeikticus, Sigma–Aldrich), at 25 °C and 50 rpm (Innova 40 incubator
shaker; 2 mL reactions in 20 mL vials). After 68 h of incubation,
200 μL of the reactions were mixed with 200 μL of Purpald
(Sigma–Aldrich, 5 mg/mL in 0.5 N NaOH). Next, samples were
incubated at 30 °C and 700 rpm for 30 min (Eppendorf ThermoMixer
C) and subsequently mixed with 600 μL of water. Finally, 50
μL of the resulting solutions were diluted with 950 μL
of water to record their absorbance spectrum. In parallel, the same
procedure was performed for control reactions without F101S PcAOX,
except that the last dilution (1:20) was not performed before measuring.
Similarly, 200 μL of 1 mM glyceraldehyde, glycerol, and glyceric
acid were reacted with 200 μL of Purpald. Subsequently, these
standard solutions were diluted with water (final concentration =
0.2 mM, 1 mL) just prior to recording their absorbance spectrum.

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.
