General reagents were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and Thermo Fisher Scientific. Human MBP (18.5 kDa isoform) was purchased from Meridian Life Science. The MBP(84–104) (ENPVVHFFKNIVTPRTPPPSQ) based on human MBP sequence (AAH08749, GenBank) and SCR (EFPHIKVTVVTPRNGFPNSPP) peptides, i.e., N-terminally biotinylated and C-terminally amidated peptides, were synthesized by GenScript. Rabbit polyclonal anti-CD20 antibody was obtained from Abcam (ab85809), mouse monoclonal anti-β-actin antibody was obtained from Sigma (A53166), and rabbit anti-degraded (d)MBP antibody, generated against the synthetic peptide encoding guinea pig MBP(69–86), was obtained from EDM-Millipore (AB5864). FluoroMyelin 488 (F34651) was obtained from Molecular Probes. For ELISA, HRP-conjugated goat anti-rat IgM (3020-05) and anti-rat immunoglobulin G (IgG) (112-035-175, Jackson ImmunoResearch), a 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine substrate (TMB/E; Surmodics), and BSA (an IgG and protease-free, 30% solution, United States Biological) were used.

The synthetic wild-type (WT; ENPVVHFFKNIVTPRTPPPSQ) and scrambled (SCR; EFPHIKVTVVTPRNGFPNSPP) MBP84-104 peptides (97–99% purity) were synthesized by GenScript and protected from exoprotease degradation by N-biotinylation and C-terminal amidation, respectively. Peptides are numbered according to the human MBP sequence (GenBank #AAH08749). Human intact MBP (an 18.5 kDa isoform) was from Meridian Life Science.

Biotinylation and Synthesis of MBP Peptides

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human full-length MBP (an 18.5 kDa isoform) was from Meridian Life Science. Where indicated, MBP was labeled for 30 min on ice at a 1:20 protein - biotin molar ratio using EZ-Link Sulfo-NHS-LC-biotin. Excess biotin was removed using a Micro Bio-spin column (Bio-Rad). The synthetic wild-type (WT; ENPVVHFFKNIVTPRTPPPSQ), mutant (H89G; ENPVVGFFKNIVTPRTPPPSQ, the mutation is underlined) and scrambled (SCR; SHVPFNEFQPEPVNVPKPRIE) 84-104 sequence region of MBP (MBP84-104) and the Alexa Fluor 488-labeled peptides (97-99% purity) were synthesized by GenScript. Where indicated, the peptides were protected from exoprotease degradation by C-terminal amidation and either N-terminal biotinylation or acetylation (Table 1). Peptides are numbered according to the human MBP sequence (GenBank #AAH08749).

Routine reagents were purchased from Sigma unless indicated otherwise. MBP84-104 (ENPVVHFFKNIVTPRTPPPSQ) and scrambled (s)MBP84-104 (NKPQTNVVEPFHRTFPIPPVS) peptides, derived from the human MBP sequence (GenBank #AAH08749), were synthesized by GenScript. The peptides were protected from degradation by exoproteinases using N-terminal acetylation and C-terminal amidation. The following primary antibodies were used in our immunofluorescence analyses: goat polyclonal IL-6 [R&D Systems (AF506), 1:100], goat polyclonal IL-6 receptor [IL-6R, R&D Systems (AF1830), 1:100], rabbit polyclonal glial fibrillary acidic protein [GFAP, DAKO (Z0334), 1:500], mouse monoclonal NeuN [EMD Millipore (MAB377), 1:1000], rabbit ionized Ca2+-binding adapter molecule 1 [Iba1, Wako (019-19741), 1:500], mouse neurofilament 200 [NF200, Millipore (MAB5262), 1:200], rabbit polyclonal calcitonin gene-related peptide [CGRP, Abcam (ab47027), 1:400], and rabbit polyclonal activating transcription factor 3 [ATF3, C-19 clone, Santa Cruz Biotechnology (SC-188), 1:100].

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.
