Massively Parallel DNA Sequencing Array

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All possible 65,536 8-base-pair (bp) DNA sequences were assembled into a maximally compact de Bruijn sequence that was subsequently divided over 1457 oligonucleotides. Each 70-bp-long oligonucleotide contained 45 overlapping 8-mers, a 3-bp GC clamp at the 5′ end, and an identical 14-bp sequence at the 3′ end for Cy5 labeling and primer extension (Fordyce et al. 2010 (link)). Sequences were hybridized to a Cy5-labeled oligonucleotide and extended using a Klenow fragment (exo) (New England Biolabs) to produce Cy5-labeled dsDNA (Fordyce et al. 2010 (link)). Cy5-labeled dsDNA was diluted to a final concentration of 1.25 μM. Each sample solution contained 0.125% of poly(ethylene glycol) (Aldrich) and D-trehalose dehydrate (Sigma) at 12.5 mg/mL in dH2O to prevent irreversible binding of the DNA to the glass as well as for visualization during alignment of the device to the DNA array. The oligos were spotted onto epoxy-coated glass substrates (CEL Associates) with a MicroGrid 610 (Bio Robotics) microarrayer using SMT-S75 silicone pins (Parallel Synthesis). Column and row pitch corresponded to the specific device. The device that we used contained 65 columns and 64 rows with a pitch of 281.25 µm by 562.5 µm, respectively. Finally, the arrays were aligned to the microfluidic device by hand under a stereoscope and bonded overnight on a heated plate at 80°C.

Microneedle Vaccine Patch Development

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A vaccine patch with MNs was prepared by fabricating arrays of solid MNs and coating vaccine antigen on the surface of MNs as described previously [20 (link)-21 (link)]. Briefly, rows of solid metal microneedles were made by wet-etching photolithographically defined needle structures from stainless steel sheets (Tech Etch, Plymouth, MA). The resulting MNs measured 700 μm in length and 200 μm in width. To coat a layer of vaccine, MNs were first oxygen-plasma treated to make the MN surface more hydrophilic, dipped multiple times into coating solution containing M2e5x VLP or M2e5x proteins to load the vaccine dose designed for this study and air dried at room temperature (R.T.) [22 (link)]. The coating solution was composed of 1% (w/v) carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) sodium salt (Carbo-Mer, San Diego, CA) as a viscosity enhancer and 15% (w/v) D-(+)-trehalose dehydrate (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) used as a stabilizer. A patch with an array of five MNs coated with 2 μg of influenza M2e5x VLPs or M2e5x proteins (total proteins) was used to vaccinate animals. Mock vaccination was carried out using microneedles without M2e5x VLPs or M2e5x proteins.

Liposome Formulation with Tetraether Lipids

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Curcumin (≥80%), cholesterol (≥99%), HEPES (≥99.5%), ethanol (absolute, ≥99.8%), D-(+)-trehalose dehydrate (≥99%) and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich Chemie GmbH (Taufkirchen, Germany). The lipids 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) and 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE) were a gift from Lipoid GmbH (Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Germany). Fractions containing the polar tetraether lipids caldarchaeol (GDGT, approx. 10% of the extract) and calditoglycerocaldarchaeol (GDNT, approximately 90% of the extract) were extracted from the biomass of Sulfolobus acidocaldarius (Transmit GmbH, Gießen, Germany) [31 (link)]. The ends of GDNT contain phosphatidylmyoinositol and β-glucose respectively while GDGT contains phosphatidylmyoinositol and β-D-galactosyl-D-glucose on either ends respectively [32 (link)]. Ultrapure water from PURELAB® flex 4 (ELGA LabWater, High Wycombe, UK) was used for all experiments in this study. All solvents used were of analytical or HPLC grade.

Metal-Conjugated Antibody Staining for MIBI

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Antibodies were first screened by IHC on FFPE brain sections to select for the best clones. These were then conjugated to isotopic metal reporters as described previously40 (link),44 (link). Following conjugation antibodies were diluted in Candor PBS Antibody Stabilization solution (Candor Bioscience). Antibodies were either stored at 4°C or lyophilized in 100 mM D-(+)-Trehalose dehydrate (Sigma-Aldrich) with ultrapure distilled H2O for storage at −20°C. Before staining, lyophilized antibodies were reconstituted in a buffer of Tris (Thermo Fisher Scientific), sodium azide (Sigma-Aldrich), ultrapure water (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and antibody stabilizer (Candor Bioscience) to a concentration of 0.05 mg ml−1. The antibodies, metal reporters and staining concentrations are listed in Extended Data Table S1. For detailed metal-antibody protocol MIBItag see dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.bhyej7te.

Antibody Conjugation and Storage Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Antibodies were conjugated to isotopic metal reporters as described previously18 (link). Following conjugation antibodies were diluted in Candor PBS Antibody Stabilization solution (Candor Bioscience). Antibodies were either stored at 4 °C or lyophilized in 100 mM D-( + )-Trehalose dehydrate (Sigma-Aldrich) with ultrapure distilled H2O for storage at −20 °C. Before staining, lyophilized antibodies were reconstituted in a buffer of Tris (Thermo Fisher Scientific), sodium azide (Sigma-Aldrich), ultrapure water (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and antibody stabilizer (Candor Bioscience) to a concentration of 0.05 mg ml−1. The antibodies, metal reporters and staining concentrations are listed in Extended Data Table 2. A limitation of this study is that we did not have an antibody for labeling bacteria due to the inherent difficulty of antibody-based detection of Mtb in FFPE tissue.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
D-(+)-trehalose dehydrate (BioReagent, ≥99%, Sigma, Saint Louis (MO), USA) was dissolved into HPLC water at a concentration of 0.5 M. A 100 µL trehalose solution was spin-coated onto a pre-cleaned (rinsed consecutively in chloroform, water, and methanol) Cu substrate (5 × 5 mm2) using a spin coater (Laurell Technologies, North Wales (PA), USA, model: WS-650-23NPP) at 5000 rpm. To form a smooth film on the Cu surface, a 10 µL trehalose aliquot was repeatedly dropped onto the substrate 10 times at 20 s intervals while the substrate spun, followed by drying for 3 min. The samples were then mounted onto a Cu sample block (4 cm × 3 cm × 1.5 cm) and inserted into the instrument under the protection of N2 gas.

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.
