Total RNA was extracted from A549 cells by Trizol (TaKaRa Bio, Kyoto, Japan), and then it was reverse transcribed to produce cDNA using PrimeScript™ II 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (TaKaRa). The full-length sequence of the gene encoding TIM-1 was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from A549 cells. The TIM-1 gene open reading frame (ORF) was cloned into pcDNA3.1 (−) using BamHI and XbaI restriction sites. The ORF of TIM-1 was amplified with oligos 5′-GCTCTAGAATGCATCCTCAAGTGG-3′ and 5′-ATGGATCCTTAGTCCGTGGC-3′. Specific monoclonal antibodies for JEV E and NS1 were produced in our lab, and an NS5 monoclonal antibody was purchased from Gene Tex (Irvine, CA, USA).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The immunochromatographic strip consisted of five sections, which were sourced from Shanghai Goldbio Technology Co., Ltd., unless stated otherwise. The section consisted of the following components: A sample pad fiberglass membrane (SB06), a conjugate pad polyester fiber membrane (VL78), an analyzing nitrocellulose membrane (Merck Millipore), an absorbent pad (CH27) and a plastic back plate. The conjugate pad was pretreated with the purified colloidal gold-McAb KIM-1 conjugates, and then dried in an incubator at 37°C for 30 min. A control (C) line and test (T) line were marked on the analyzing membrane with goat anti-mouse IgG (2 mg/ml; BAF007, R&D Systems, Inc.) and goat anti-human PcAb KIM-1 (200 µg/ml, dilution, 1:200, AF1750, R&D Systems, Inc.), respectively. The sample pad, pretreated conjugate pad, analyzing membrane and absorbent pad were pasted on a plastic back plate. The detection limit of the colloidal gold-based immunochromatographic strip was determined by detecting normal urine specimens supplemented with KIM-1 at the final concentrations of 0, 50 and 100 ng/ml, and 1 and 10 µg/ml, respectively.

Duplicate well of cells was infected with ZIKV as above and processed for imaging at 72 and 144 hpi. Cells were washed, fixed with 10% neutral buffered formalin, permeabilized with 0.3% Triton X-100 in PBS for 20 min, and blocked with 5% BSA in PBS overnight at 4°. Then cells were stained with anti-flavivirus E protein antibody 4G2 conjugated to AF647 (Novus biologicals catalog NBP2-52709AF647) at 1:500 for a minimum of 1 h. After washing, cells were counterstained with DAPI and imaged using an EVOS FL cell imaging system (ThermoFisher). DAPI stained nuclei were counted using the automatic cell counting feature in the EVOs software (software revision 32,044), and 4G2 positive cells in the same fields were counted by hand. At least 10 fields and 1,000 DAPI positive cells were counted for each well. For receptor transfection experiments, DC-SIGN transfected cells were stained with a mouse antibody against DC-SIGN conjugated to AF647 (Biolegend 33011). TIM-1 transfected cells were stained with goat-anti-TIM-1 antibody (R&D systems AF1750), then with an anti-goat secondary antibody conjugated to AF488 (Invitrogen A-11055). Cells were counterstained with DAPI and imaged on an EVOS FL system as above.

Plasma KIM-1 levels were measured in duplicate using a microbead-based assay as previously described (11 (link)). This analysis was performed at the laboratory of Dr. Venkata Sabbisetti, and investigators were blinded to the identity of samples at the time of analysis. Each sample was diluted 10-fold in sample diluent buffer (0.1M HEPES, 0.1M NaCl, 0.1% Tween-20, and 1% BS; pH 7.4; filter sterilized). Thirty microliters (30 μL) of diluted sample, recombinant standards, and internal control urine samples were incubated with ~6000 microbeads coupled with KIM-1 capture antibody for 1 hour (R&D Systems, Cat # AF1750). Beads were then washed 3x with PBST and incubated with detection antibody for 45 min (R&D Systems, Cat # BAF1750). Beads were washed 3x with PBS-Tween and incubated with Streptavidin-PE (Invitrogen) for 15 min. The signal from the fluorochrome was captured using Bio-Plex 200 system (Bio-Rad). Data were generated and interpreted using a five parametric logistic regression analysis. The lower limit of detection for KIM-1 was set at 9.1 pg/mL, and all values lower than this were considered undetectable.

HEK293T cells were seeded in 6-well plates (2.5 × 104 cells per well) precoated with poly-L-lysine (Cultrex, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) and incubated overnight at 37 °C. The cells were transfected with pCAGGS encoding WT hTIM-1 or its SNV mutant genes. At 24 h post-transfection, the cells were washed with PBS, detached by treatment with 0.25% trypsin, and then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS for 15 min. After washing with PBS, the cells were incubated with a goat anti-hTIM-1 polyclonal antibody (AF1750, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) for 1 h at room temperature. Then the cells were washed with PBST and stained with a donkey anti-goat IgG polyclonal antibody conjugated with FITC (sc2024, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA) for 30 min at 4 °C in the dark. After washing 3 times with PBST, the percentage of FITC-positive cells and mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) of FITC signals were analyzed using a FACSCanto flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) and FlowJo software (Tree Star, San Carlos, CA, USA).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HAP1 and HAP1ΔCDC50 cells were plated in a 6-well plate at a density of 1×106 cells/well. Cells were either mock infected or infected one day after plating with CHIKV-GFP (MOI 0.5) or LCMV-GFP (MOI 1) and harvested at the indicated time points. Cells were washed with cold PBS, and surface proteins were biotinylated with 0.5 mg/mL sulfosuccinimidyl-2-(biotinamido) ethyl-1,3-dithiopropionate (ThermoFisher) on ice for 45 minutes with gentle shaking. The reaction was quenched using Tris-HCl and cells were lysed with M2 lysis buffer at 4°C. Samples were centrifuged at 17,000xg for 10 minutes. A fraction of the lysate was saved (total cell lysate, TCL), and the surface proteins were bound to streptavidin Sepharose beads overnight at 4°C (GE Healthcare). Beads were then washed with buffer containing 100 mM Tris, 500 mM lithium chloride, 0.1% Triton X-100 followed by a buffer containing 20 mM HEPES [pH 7.2], 2 mM EGTA, 10 mM magnesium chloride, 0.1% Triton X-100. Samples were then analyzed through immunoblotting probing against TYRO3 (1:1000, R&D Systems, MAB859100), TIM (TIM (1:500, AF1750, R&D Systems), AXL (1:100, AF154, R&D Systems), GAPDH (1:2000, Santa Cruz Biotech, #sc-47724), Transferrin (1:1,000, PA5–27739, ThermoFisher), or CHIKV E1 (1:1,000, MAB97792, R&D systems).

CHIKV-GFP Infection and Cell Surface Marker Profiling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were plated at a density of 1.0×106 cells/well in a 6-well plate one day prior to staining. Cells were harvested either uninfected or after infection with CHIKV-GFP at an MOI of 0.5, 18 hours post-infection. Monolayers were cooled, washed, and treated with a blocking solution (dPBS +Ca2 +Mg2 with 2% (v/v) FBS) containing an anti-hTIM1(1:50–1:100, AF1750, R&D Systems) antibody. Samples were incubated at 4°C with gentle shaking for one hour and washed three times with ice-cold PBS. A blocking solution containing the corresponding secondary antibody, donkey anti-goat Alexa Fluor 594 (1:2500, A32758, Invitrogen), was added. Samples were incubated at 4°C in the dark with gentle shaking for 30 minutes. Samples were washed three additional times with PBS, lifted via scraping, and analyzed using a NovoCyte Quanteon cytometer (Agilent). Populations of live, single cells were gated using FSC/SSC and SSC-A/SSC-H, respectively. The GFP gate was set using uninfected, GFP- cells, and the AF594 gate was set with a secondary-only control. The AF594 MFI of 10,000 live, single, GFP+ cells was quantified. A 488-nm laser with a 530/30 “FITC” bandpass filter was used to assess GFP fluorescence, and AF594 was measured with a 561-nm laser with a 615/20 “PE-Texas Red” bandpass filter; all filter sets had default gain.

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.
