Glucose and NaOH were purchased from VWR (West Chester, PA). Ca(OH)2, p-aminobenzoic acid and CH3COONH4 were purchased from Alfa Aesar (Heysham, England). Thiamine was purchased from Alfa Aesar (Ward Hill, MA). Dowex 1X4 resin (chloride form) and biotin were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). H2SO4 (98%) and NaCl were purchased from VWR (West Radnor, PA). K2HPO4, KH2PO4, MgSO4·7H2O, MnSO4·H2O, FeSO4·7H2O were purchased from Fisher Scientific (Fair Lawn, NJ). Citric acid was purchased from Mallinckrodt Chemicals (Phillipsburg, NJ). CaCO3 was purchased from EMD Chemicals (Gibbstown, NJ). Reinforced Clostridial Broth medium (RCM) was purchased from HIMEDIA laboratories (Mumbai, India). Cellic CTec 2 was obtained from Novozymes North America, Inc (Franklinton, UC). DI water was produced by the Barnstead Nanopure UV Ultrapure Water System (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Marietta, OH).
Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 was used for butanol production. It was routinely stored as spores at 4 °C and treated by heat shock at 75 °C for 10 min followed by cooling down in an ice bath prior to cultivation. The RCM medium was sparged with nitrogen and then autoclaved at 121 °C for 15 min. The heat-shocked cells were grown until the optical density (OD) reached 1.30 determined by an UV–vis spectrometer (Thermo Scientific, Madison, WI) at 600 nm.

ELISA for Mouse Antibody Isotypes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Based on the antigen used for immunizations, NP conjugated to BSA at a >20 ratio (Biosearch Technologies), PE or OVA all diluted in PBS were coated onto separate 96 well plates (Greiner Bio-one) at 2 μg/mL and incubated overnight at 4 °C. Plates were washed then blocked with casein (Thermo Scientific) for one hour at room temperature (RT). Serum samples were serially diluted in casein then added to the plates and incubated for two hours at RT. After washing, biotin rat anti-mouse IgG1 (BD), peroxidase conjugated goat anti-mouse IgM (Jackson Immunoresearch) or biotin rat anti-mouse IgE (BD) was added to the plates and incubated for one hour at RT. Plates were washed and streptavidin HRP (Jackson Immunoresearch) was added to the IgG1 and IgE plates and incubated for thirty minutes at RT. Plates were washed then developed for twenty minutes with an o-Phenylenediamine dihydrochloride tablet (Sigma) dissolved in 100 mM Sodium phosphate dibasic (Mallinckrodt), 50 mM citric acid (Mallinckrodt) and 0.04% hydrogen peroxide (Mallinckrodt) at pH 5.0. Reactions were stopped using 1N HCL (Fisher Scientific) and plates were read at 490λ using a Molecular Devices Spectra Max 340 PC running Soft Max Pro 3.1.2. All antibody data are presented at IgM (1:1000), IgG1 (1:80,000), and IgE (1:100) serum dilutions which represent non-saturating concentrations.

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.
