Streptavidin-Cy5 is a fluorescently labeled streptavidin protein. Streptavidin is a tetrameric protein that binds strongly to biotin, a small molecule that can be attached to various biological targets. Cy5 is a fluorescent dye that emits light in the red region of the visible spectrum when excited.

Visualizing Protein Distribution in W/O Droplets

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For visualizing the protein distribution in the water-in-oil droplet, we purchased recombinant proteins, Aequorea Victoria Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) His-tag (cat. A42613, Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA) and Cy5-streptavidin (PA45001, GE Healthcare). Both proteins were diluted with a PBS buffer (pH = 7.4) before testing.

Macaque Serum IgG Antibody Profiling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Macaque serum samples were diluted 1:100 in binding buffer (0.01M Tris-Cl, pH 7.4, 1% alkali-soluble casein, 0.05% Tween-20). Diluted sample aliquots and binding buffer-only negative controls were bound to arrays overnight for 16–20 h at 4°C. After binding, the arrays were washed 3x in wash buffer (1x TBS, 0.05% Tween-20), 10 min per wash. Primary sample binding was detected via 8F1-biotin mouse anti-primate IgG (NIH Nonhuman Primate Reagent Resource) secondary antibody. The secondary antibody was diluted 1:10,000 (final concentration 0.1 ng/µl) in secondary binding buffer (1x TBS, 1% alkali-soluble casein, 0.05% Tween-20) and incubated with arrays for 3 h at room temperature, then washed 3x in wash buffer (10 min per wash) and 30 sec in reagent-grade water. The secondary antibody was labeled with Cy5-Streptavidin (GE Healthcare; 5 ng/µl in 0.5x TBS, 1% alkali-soluble casein, 0.05% Tween-20) for 1 h at room temperature, then the array was washed 2x for 1 min in 1x TBS, and washed once for 30 sec in reagent-grade water. Fluorescent signal of the secondary antibody was detected by scanning at 635 nm at 2 µm resolution and 25% gain, using an MS200 microarray scanner (Roche NimbleGen).

Rat Whole Genome Transcriptional Profiling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ten micrograms of biotin-labeled aRNA was fragmented using 5 µl of fragmentation buffer in a final volume of 20 µl, then was mixed with 240 µl of Amersham hybridization solution (GE Healthcare Europe GmbH) and injected onto CodeLink Uniset Rat Whole Genome bioarrays (40K) containing 36,000 rat oligonucleotide gene probes (both from GE Healthcare Europe GmbH). Arrays were hybridized overnight at 37°C at 300 rpm in an incubator. The slides were washed in stringent TNT buffer (0.1 M Tris-HCl, 0.15 M NaCl, 0.05% Tween-20) at 46°C for 1 h, and then a Streptavidin-Cy5 (GE Healthcare) detection step was performed. Each slide was incubated for 30 min in 3.4 ml of Streptavidin-Cy5 solution as described previously (Fevre-Montange et al., 2006 (link)), then was washed four times in 240 ml of TNT buffer, rinsed twice in 240 ml of water containing 0.2% Triton X-100, and dried by centrifugation at 50 g.
The slides were scanned using a Genepix 4000B scanner (Axon) and GenePix software (Molecular Devices), with the laser set at 635 mm, the laser power at 100%, and the photomultiplier tube voltage at 60%. The scanned image files were analysed using CodeLink expression software, version 4.2 (GE Healthcare), which produces both a raw and normalized hybridization signal for each spot on the array.

Evaluating Karonudib's Impact on Cell Growth, Viability, and Apoptosis

Measurement of relative cell growth (CellTiterGlo, 72 h, karonudib (0.0625–1 µM)), viability (propidium iodide, 72 h, karonudib (0.25–1 µM)) and apoptosis (Active Caspase-3, 24 h, karonudib (0.5 µM)) was performed as previously described20 (link). Proliferation (72 h, karonudib (0.25 µM) was performed using Cell Trace Violet (ThermoFisher Scientific). Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) was performed together with cell cycle analysis after 6, 12 and 24 h with karonudib treatment (0.5 µM) as previously described20 (link),22 (link),23 (link). For cell cycle studies live/dead cell staining (near-IR dead cell stain kit L10119, Thermo Fisher Scientific) was performed prior to fixation. Antibodies: rabbit anti-phospho-histone H3 (pS10 #06-570 1:500; Merck), mouse anti-phospho-γ-histone H2AX (pS139 clone JWB301, #05-635 1:500; Merck), donkey anti-mouse IgG-Alexa488 (#715-545-150 1:500; Jackson Immunoresearch, West Grove, PA), and goat-anti-rabbit IgG-PE (1:500; Thermo). In addition we used biotin-16-dUTP (Merck), streptavidin-Cy5 (PA45001 1:400; GE Healthcare, UK) and Hoechst 33258 (2 µg/ml). Hoechst stained cells were stored at 4°C over night before analysis. Flow cytometry data were analyzed using the online Cytobank flow cytometry software (https://community.cytobank.org)24 or FlowJo v10.

Ten micrograms of biotin-labeled aRNA was fragmented using 5 μl of fragmentation buffer in a final volume of 20 μl and was then mixed with 240 μl of Amersham hybridization solution (GE Healthcare Europe GmbH, Freiburg, Germany) and injected onto CodeLink Uniset Human Whole Genome bioarrays containing 5,5000 human oligonucleotide gene probes (GE Healthcare Europe GmbH, Freiburg, Germany) as described previously (11 (link)). Arrays were hybridized overnight at 37°C at 300 rpm in an incubator. The slides were washed in stringent TNT buffer at 46°C for 1 h, then a streptavidin-cy5 (GE Healthcare) detection step was performed. Each slide was incubated for 30 min in 3.4 ml of streptavidin-cy5 solution, was then washed four times in 240 ml of TNT buffer, rinsed twice in 240 ml of water containing 0.2%Triton X-100, and dried by centrifugation at 600 rpm. The slides were scanned using a Genepix 4000B scanner (Axon, Union City, USA) and Genepix software, with the laser set at 635 mm, the laser power at 100%, and the photomultiplier tube voltage at 60%. The scanned image files were analyzed using CodeLink expression software, version 4.0 (GE Healthcare), which produces both a raw and normalized hybridization signal for each spot on the array. Transcriptomic data have been deposited in Gene Expression Omnibus under the accession number GSE120350.

Apoptosis Quantification by TUNEL Assay

The TUNEL assay was used to evaluate apoptosis. Acute lymphocytic leukaemia cells, Reh, treated with 4 Gy and harvested 24 hours post-irradiation were included as a positive control. Treated cells were harvested, washed, resuspended in ice-cold methanol, and stored at least 1 hour at -20 °C before staining with Tdt reaction mix (Roche Diagnostics, Risch-Rotkreuz, Switzerland) containing biotin-16-dUTP (Roche) [16] . The cells were then washed, and incubated in streptavidin-Cy5 (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA) [16] . Finally, the cells were resuspended in Hoechst 33258 (1.5 µg/mL, Sigma Aldrich), incubated overnight at 4 °C and subsequently analysed by flow cytometry using the LSRII flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson, (which was not certified by peer review) is the author/funder.

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.
