Zeba desalt spin column

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

Zeba desalt spin columns are laboratory equipment designed to remove salts, buffers, and other small molecules from protein samples. They work by using a size-exclusion resin to selectively retain the protein of interest while allowing smaller molecules to pass through. This process is known as buffer exchange or desalting.

Biotinylation of Allergen Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
EZ-Link Sulfo-NHS-LC-Biotin (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL) was added to a defined amount of each allergen (2 mg for chitinase, 0.25 mg for Bla g 3) at a 10-fold molar excess and incubated for 30 min at room temperature. The biotinylated mix was put over a pre-washed Zeba Desalt Spin Column (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL) two times and the concentration was determined after biotinylation by Advanced Protein Assay (Cytoskeleton, Denver, Colorado).
The quantification of biotinylation was carried out by using a Quant Tag™ Biotin Kit (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA). Samples were tested in triplicate against a known biotin standard curve to determine the number of biotins per allergen molecule.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Dynabeads My One Streptavidin T1 were selected. They are 1 μ m diameter homogeneous polymer particles embedding superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles. They have been functionalized with two different monoclonal antibodies of the same IgG2a isotype: a rat anti-CD138 mAb (BD Pharmingen) and a murine mAb, IpaD-315 (described in Section 2.4), according to the commercial protocol after their biotinylation and purification.
For mAb biotinylation, 100 μ g of antibodies were diluted in 400 μ L of 0.1 M borate buffer pH 9.0 containing 6 μ L of biotin (Sigma-Aldrich) in DMF at 1 mg/mL and incubated for 30 min at room temperature. Then, 100 μ L of 1 M Tris HCl buffer pH 8.0 were added and incubated for 15 min. Finally, the biotinylated mAb was purified from free biotin on Zeba Desalt Spin column (Thermo Scientific) in 0.1 M potassium phosphate buffer pH 7.4 with 0.15 M NaCl. The absorbance of the final solution was measured between 280 and 320 nm to determine the concentration of the purified biotinylated antibody. biotinylated antibodies were then mixed at room temperature with streptavidin coated beads for 30 min, washed four times in PBS 0.1% BSA and stored in PBS 0.1% BSA at 4 C until use.

Fluorescent Antibody Conjugation Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rabbit and mouse anti-human antibodies were first purified on HiTrap Protein A or Protein G columns respectively to remove additives and stabilizers. Buffer exchange and concentration was conducted using Amicon 30K filters and purified antibody was resuspended in PBS buffer at a final concentration of 1mg/mL. Direct conjugation to Cy2-, Cy3- and Cy5-Bis NHS Ester dye fluorophores (GE Healthcare PA12000, PA13000, PA15000) was done according to manufacturer’s instructions. The conjugation reaction was prepared with a minimum loading of 35ug of protein, 10% w/v of NaHCO3 (pH 8.5), and dye conjugate and incubated for 60 minutes in the dark at room temperature. Following the conjugation, the reaction was loaded on a Zeba desalt spin column (ThermoFisher, Waltham, MA) to remove unbound fluorophore, and the final concentration and dye:protein ratio measured by Nanodrop. Following conjugation, the antibody solution was adjusted to a final concentration between 150–300 μg/mL and stabilized with 1% BSA and 0.45% sodium azide.

Circular dichroism spectra were obtained on a CD spectrophotometer (Applied Photophysics, UK) using a 10 mm cuvette equilibrated at 30°C. All the samples were desalted and the buffer exchanged into PBS (pH 8.0) through a Zeba™ Desalt Spin Column (Thermo Scientific). One millimolar H2O2 and 2.5 mM DTT as final concentrations were incubated in the corresponding samples during equilibration for 20 minutes. Sample concentrations were diluted to 0.15 μM. The CD spectra were collected between 190 nm and 280 nm, and 3 repeat scans were averaged. Parameters of secondary structure were calculated by the CD Spectra Deconvolution Program CDNN version 2.1.

Fluorescent Diabody Conjugation Protocol

To achieve optimal conjugation efficiencies, the diabody was first concentrated using an Amicon® Ultra-0.5mL (10K) Centrifugal Filter Device (Millipore, Carrigtwohill, County Cork, Ireland) to a concentration greater than 2.8 mg/mL. Then, 50 μM diabody was reduced in 40-fold molar excess of TCEP for 2 hours at room temperature. A 20-fold molar excess of Cy5 Maleimide dissolved in dimethylformamide was then added to the reduced diabody and the mixture was incubated for 2 hours at room temperature. After incubation, excess dye was removed using a 2 mL Zeba Desalt Spin Column (Thermo Scientific). Cy5 and diabody concentrations were then measured using a spectrophotometer at 650 nm and 280 nm, respectively. The ratio of Cy5 to diabody was calculated to confirm the number of fluorophore molecules conjugated to each diabody molecule.

BioAbs, except for Bio-CD133, for AvIR-mediated PIT were chemically prepared using EZ-Link Sulfo-LC-NHS-Biotinylation Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) following manufacturer’s instructions. A Zeba Desalt Spin Column (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used to remove excess biotin reagent and exchange the buffer with Dulbecco’s phosphate-buffered saline (DPBS). We also performed a biotinylation of human immunoglobulin G (IgG) for using as an irrelevant control (Bio-hIgG).

Fluorescent Labeling of Protein Nanoparticles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For fluorescent visualization, SI (control ELP) and crySI were covalently modified with NHS-Fluorescein (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Rockford, IL) by conjugation to free amines. Briefly, crySI was mixed with a 3-fold molar excess of NHS-Fluorescein in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and incubated at 4 °C for 3 h. Free fluorophore was removed by size exclusion chromatography using a Zeba desalt spin column (89891, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Rockford, IL). The concentration of label after the purification, CFL-crySI, was estimated as follows:
CFLcrySI=A493nmεfluor
where the molar extinction coefficient of fluorescein, Efluor, was assumed to be 70,000 M−1 cm−1. Due to the low molar extinction coefficient of the crySI relative to the contribution of fluorescein at an optical absorbance of 280 nm, the degree of labeling, Nlabeling, was estimated as follows:
Nlabeling=nFLcrySI,purifiedncrySI,reacted
where ncrySI,reacted and nFL-crySI,purifled are the moles of crySI reacted and fluorescein recovered after purification respectively. Fluorescein labeled FL-crySI had a labeling efficiency ~0.6. To determine the purity of labeled materials, proteins were separated on SDS-PAGE gels and imaged on a ChemiDoc Touch Imaging System (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA).

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.
