Samples were lysed on ice in Pierce radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer (Thermo, 89900) containing complete EDTA-free protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma/Roche, 11836170001) and debris was pelleted. Protein content was determined using Pierce Micro bicinchoninic acid (BCA) Protein Assay kit (Thermo, 23235). Samples were prepared in 4x loading dye (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA), boiled at 95°C for 5 min, and loaded in 4%-15% gradient Mini-Protean TGX Stain-Free precast gels (Bio-Rad). Gels were run at 175V and transferred to a 0.2-μm-pore-size nitrocellulose membrane by the semidry transfer method. Blots were blocked in 1% casein buffer/Tris-buffered saline (TBS) for 3 hours at 4°C. Primary antibodies were diluted in 1% casein and incubated overnight at 4°C. Blots were washed three times with TBS with 0.01% Tween 20 (TBST) and incubated with secondary antibody diluted in TBST for 1 hour at room temperature. Horseradish peroxidase secondary antibodies were diluted 1:10,000. Blots were washed three times with TBST and then incubated with ClarityMax according to manufacturer’s recommendation (Bio-Rad, 1075062) for HRP secondary antibodies. Blots were imaged on a ChemiDoc MP imaging system.

Cells were lysed in Laemmli buffer [(100 mM Tris-HCl, pH 6.8, 4% (w/v) SDS, 0.2% (w/v) bromophenol blue, 20% glycerol and 200 mM DTT (dithiothreitol)] and then processed for Western blot analysis, as previously described [33 (link),36 (link)]. Briefly, after SDS-PAGE, proteins were transferred on PVDF membrane (Merck-Millipore, Burlington, MS, USA) which was then blocked with 5% milk in PBS for 30 min and then incubated with the appropriate primary antibodies (over-night at 4 °C) and secondary HRP-conjugated antibodies (1 h at room temperature), all prepared in 1% milk in PBS. Chemiluminescence reaction occurred using Clarity or Clarity Max (Biorad, Hercules, CA, USA) and the signal was captured by ChemiDoc MP Imaging Systems (Biorad). Densitometric analysis was performed using Image Lab software (Biorad).

Cell lysates were prepared using RIPA buffer (50 mmol/L Tris–HCl, pH 7.4; 150 mmol/L NaCl; 1% Triton X-100; 1% sodium deoxycholate) consisting of protease and phosphatase inhibitors. Equal protein concentration was loaded for all samples, separated on 12–18% polyacrylamide gel, and transferred onto PVDF membrane of pore size 0.45 µm. The transfer was carried out applying 300 mA constant current for 4 h at 4 °C. The membrane was blocked in 5% BSA in TBST for 1 h and incubated with primary antibody overnight at 4 °C. Further, membrane was washed 3 times with TBST and then incubated with secondary antibody for 1 h at RT. The blots were washed 3 times with TBST and developed using a chemiluminescent substrate (ClarityMax, Biorad). Antibodies used in study are provided in Table 3.

High-throughput SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Profiling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Serum samples were probed using 1:50 dilution and DBS samples using a 1:20 dilution on the pillar plate and reacted for 15 minutes at room temperature. The plate was then washed with Tris-buffered saline with Tween 20 (TBST) (Amresco) buffer 3 x 5 minutes each. The plate was incubated with the secondary antibody (1:2000 dilution of Goat Anti-Human IgG HRP and Goat Anti-Human IgM HRP and Goat Anti-Human IgA HRP individually) for 15 minutes at room temperature. The plates were then washed with TBST buffer followed by washing with DI Water. The plates were finally dried completely before adding chemiluminescent substrate (Clarity Max from Bio-Rad) and scanned for five minutes on a standard Chemiluminescence Imager. For the Enhanced IgM Assay, the serum was pre reacted with Goat anti-human IgG Fc fragment prior to the remaining assay steps to increase the sensitivity of IgM and IgA detection. Assaying is performed on automated liquid handlers enabling a throughput of 100,000 samples per day.

Proteins were extracted from iPS-CM by homogenization in RIPA buffer (Sigma Aldrich) containing protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche). For each sample, 10 µg of proteins were separated in reducing conditions by 4–12% SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF membrane (ThermoFisher Scientific). The membrane was blocked for 2 h at room temperature with 5% powdered skim milk in Tris-buffered saline pH 7.4 with 0.1% Tween (T-TBS). The membrane was then incubated with Apoptosis Western Blot Cocktail (#ab136812, Abcam, 1:250), or HSP90 (#610418, BD Biosciences, 1:3000). Antibodies were diluted in T-TBS with 3% bovine serum albumin (BSA, Sigma) and incubated overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed five times with T-TBS and incubated with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies anti-mouse (#12/2013, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA, 1:10000) and anti-rabbit (#07/2014, Cell Signaling Technology, 1:10000) in T-TBS with 5% powered skim milk for 1 h at room temperature. Blots were washed five times with T-TBS. Bound antibodies were detected through enhanced chemiluminescence (Clarity Max, Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA).

Subcellular fractionation was performed using an established method (69 (link)). Briefly, parasites were under a freeze-thaw process followed by centrifugation. The supernatant was harvested as the cytoplasmic fraction. The pellet was then suspended in RIPA Buffer followed by centrifugation, and the supernatant was used as the nuclear fraction. Goat anti-GFP antibodies (1:2,500, ab6673, Abcam, RRID:AB_305643, USA), mouse monoclonal anti-γ-H2A.X (1:2,500; clone JBW301, Sigma-Aldrich, AB_2924829, USA), and hATM [1:1,000, 2C1(1A1), ab78, Abcam, RRID:AB_306089], rabbit anti-histone H3 antibodies (1:1,000 dilution; Millipore), and rabbit anti-Plasmodium aldolase antibodies (1 µg/mL, ab207494, Abcam, USA) were used as primary antibodies. HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:5,000, Millipore) or rabbit anti-goat or mouse IgG (ab6741, RRID:AB_955424, ab6728, RRID:AB_955440, Abcam, USA) was used as the secondary antibodies. The results were visualized with the ECL detection system (Clarity Max, Bio-Rad).

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.
