Immulon 4HBX plates (Thermo Scientific) were coated overnight at 4°C with HIV Gag protein diluted in 0.1 M Carbonate Buffer (pH 9.8). Plates were then blocked with 1% FBS/PBS, and plasma from Gag immunized mice was applied in serial 10-fold dilutions in ELISA diluent (0.1% FBS/PBS) and incubated for 1 h at 37°C. Biotinylated Goat-anti-mouse total IgG (Jackson Immuno-Research, Westgrove, Pennsylvania) was added and incubated for 1 h at 37°C. For detection, Avidin-Horse Radish Peroxidase (BD) was added and incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature, followed by the addition of TMB substrate-chromogen (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark) and a 2N sulfuric acid stop solution. Washing was performed between steps with PBS + 0.05% Tween 20. Plates were read on a SpectraMax Plus spectrophotometer (Molecular Devices) at 450 nm. Data was analyzed in Prism to generate a non-linear regression fit to estimate EC50 (midpoint titer) or EC05 (endpoint titers).

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.
