Plasma was obtained from whole blood, drawn in EDTA tube, by centrifuging at 400xg, for 10 min at room temperature. Plasma samples from IgAN patients and HC were then analyzed with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to determine the concentration of the following factors; monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP-1) (Human CCL2/MCP-1 Quantikine ELISA Kit, R&D Systems, USA), soluble CD14 (Human CD14 Quantikine ELISA Kit, R&D Systems), soluble CD40L (Human CD40 Ligand/TNFSF5 Quantikine ELISA Kit, R&D Systems), B cell activating factor (BAFF) (Human BAFF Quantikine ELISA Kit, R&D Systems), IL-6 (Human IL-6 Quantikine HS ELISA Kit, R&D Systems), Fractalkine (Human CX3CL1/Fractalkine Quantikine ELISA Kit, R&D Systems) and MIP-1 (Human CCL3/MIP-1 alpha Quantikine ELISA Kit, R&D Systems). Catalog number for ELISA kits are shown in S2 Table. The samples were assayed in duplicates and the average values were considered for further analysis. The optical density (OD) in blank well was subtracted from the OD values in samples before calculation of concentrations.

Multiplex Biomarker Measurement in Plasma

Cryopreserved plasma aliquots were thawed and prepared following kit manufacturer’s guidelines. MCP-1, sCD163, and IP-10 were measured using a custom multiplex kit (RD Systems, MN, USA), acquired on a Luminex 200™ analyzer (Luminex), and analyzed using Bio-Plex Manager™ software (Bio-Rad). Neopterin and sCD14 were measured by ELISA (Neopterin competitive enzyme immunoassay, ALPCO, NH, USA; Human CD14 Quantikine ELISA kit, RD Systems), optical density read on a microplate spectrophotometer (Bio-Rad), and standard curve interpolation conducted on Prism version 7.0b (Graphpad Software Inc., CA, USA). Samples were run in duplicate and the CV of replicates were less than 10%.
Examination of biomarker distributions revealed two outliers greater than 4 SDs above the biomarker distribution means – one for neopterin and one for MCP-1. Because these values were considered physiologically plausible, we substituted these outlier values with the next most extreme value in the biomarker distribution during statistical analysis, as has been done previously by our group [15 (link)]. The biomarker distributions of sCD163 and IP-10 were log10 transformed prior to statistical analysis.

OPN, TGF-β1, and sCD14 were measured using a Human Osteopontin Quantikine ELISA Kit, a Human TGF-beta 1 Quantikine ELISA Kit, and a Human CD14 Quantikine ELISA Kit, respectively (R&D Systems Inc, Minneapolis, MN, USA). Before the analysis, the milk samples were thawed and centrifuged to remove residual cream or precipitate as per the assay manufacturer’s instructions [6 (link),20 (link),21 (link)] and as described previously [20 (link),21 (link),23 (link)]. The cytokine levels were converted to concentrations using a five-parameter logistic model. The LLOQs for OPN, TGF-β1, and sCD14 were 0.31 ng/mL, 31.3 pg/mL, and 250 pg/mL, respectively. Cytokines below the LLOQ were judged to be negative and were allocated the concentration of the LLOQ to aid the statistical analysis.

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.
