Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human LDL was iodinated using Pierce pre-coated iodination tubes (Thermo Fisher) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Each tube, in a final volume of 500 µl of solution A, contained human LDL (5 mg) and [125I]NaI (2 mCi). After incubation for 15 min at room temperature, 2 ml of solution A was added to the tube, and the entire mixture was loaded onto a PD-10 column (GE Healthcare) that had been pre-equilibrated with solution A. Elution fractions containing [125I]LDL were pooled and subjected to dialysis for 16 hr against 6 L of solution A to further eliminate unincorporated [125I]NaI. The dialyzed [125I]LDL had a specific activity of 70.6 cpm/ng and was stored at 4°C. The uptake and proteolytic degradation of [125I]LDL by cultured CHO-K1 cells was measured using previously described methods (Goldstein and Brown, 1974 (link)).

As a quality control of the JAM-A mAb/IR700, the levels of immune-binding of intact JAM-A mAb and JAM-A mAb/IR700 conjugates to alive PC3pip cells in vitro were assessed. First, JAM-A mAb and JAM-A mAb/IR700 conjugates were labeled with 125I Na using a direct protein iodination. Briefly, aliquots of 250-μCi 125I Na (PerkinElmer, Akron, OH) in Tris-Iodination Buffer were activated in the Pierce Pre-Coated Iodination Tubes (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL) followed by mixing with 40-μg of JAM-A mAbs or IR700 conjugates per tube. After incubation with Scavenging Buffer, mixes were purified with Zeba spin desalting columns at 1000 g for 2-min and elution fractions were collected. Next, for immune-binding assay, the purified radiolabeled JAM-A mAbs or IR700 conjugates were mixed with alive culture of PC3pip cells for 1-h at 4 °C followed by washing and radioactive scan of the collected pellets (Bioscan AR 2000, Bioscan Inc., Washington, DC). PC3pip cells that were blocked by an excess of JAM-A mAb prior these procedures were used as internal controls.

Saturation binding assays were performed on transfected COS-7 cells to assess low-affinity binding or FDH cell lines expressing IL3R (βc + IL3Rα P248L) hexamers or (βc + IL3Rα WT) dodecamers to assess high-affinity binding using radioiodinated IL3 as previously described (90, 94 (link)). COS-7 cells were electroporated with pSG5:IL3Rα plasmids encoding WT or mutant IL3Rα. Cell-surface expression of receptor subunits was confirmed by flow cytometry. IL3 was radioiodinated with 125I (PerkinElmer) using Pierce Precoated Iodination tubes (Thermo Scientific; refs. 47, 80 (link)). Dissociation constants were calculated using the EBDA and LIGAND programs (KELL Radlig; ref. 95 (link)). Statistical significance of differences in KD values between cells expressing WT or IL3Rα (P) was determined using a two-tailed unpaired t test. To assess the stability of IL3Rα P248L compared with WT IL3Rα at the cell surface, all cell-surface proteins were biotinylated according to a commercially available kit (Pierce, #S44390) in FDH cells expressing P248L or WT IL3R at 0 to 60 minutes after IL3 stimulation, followed by streptavidin pulldown enrichment and immunoblotting of pulldowns for IL3Rα using anti-IL3Rα 9F5 antibody.
