After coating with FN, a monoclonal antibody for the FNIII12-14 domain (also known as Heparin II domain) was used (Santa Cruz Biotechnologies, sc-18827) in dilution 1:30 at 37 °C for 2 h. Samples were washed three times with PBS/0.5% Tween 20. An anti-mouse IgG horse radish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated antibody (Invitrogen, 626520) was then used in dilution 1:2000 at room temperature for 1 h. After washing twice, samples were exposed to the substrate solution (R&D, DY999) for 20 min at room temperature in the dark. A stop solution (R&D, DY994) was added before reading the absorbance at 450 nm.

100 µl of bacterial culture adjusted to OD600 = 1 in a carbonate coating buffer (0.1 M NaHCO3, 0.1 M Na2CO3; pH to 9.5) were inoculated into 96 well microtiter plate MaxiSorp (Nunc.) and incubated overnight at 4 °C. Bacterial culture was removed by inversion, washed with T-PBS (×3) and incubated with 2% Milk/T-PBS for 1 hour at room temperature. Primary antibodies were diluted 1/100 for anti-YeeJ and 1/1000 for anti-E. coli in 1% Milk/T-PBS and incubated 1 hour at RT and washed with T-PBS (×3). Secondary antibody anti-rabbit IgG HRP was diluted 1/10000 in 1% Milk/T-PBS, incubated 1 hour at RT and washed with T-PBS (×3). Substrate reagent R&D Systems DY999 and Stop solution R&D Systems DY994 were used to develop and absorbance was read at OD420.

ELISA to Study HGF-Glypican-3 Inhibition

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We designed an ELISA to study the ability of ILB® to inhibit the interaction between HGF and Glypican-3 (a cell surface heparan sulphate proteoglycan) (Gao et al., 2015 (link)). The bound Glypican-3 (biotinylated) in the system is measured. The amount of Glypican signal lost (relative to the expected binding) is a measure of the ability of ILB® to mobilize HGF from its binding to Glypican-3.
Briefly, the ELISA plate was coated with HGF (0.2 μg/ml, 100 µl/well, R&D Systems, Abingdon, United Kingdom) overnight at 4°C. Glypican-3 (R&D Systems) binding was quantified after 30 min over a range of concentrations in the absence (vehicle) or presence of a range of concentrations of ILB®. After three washes with PBS, streptavidin-HRP (according to manufacturer’s recommendations for the batch used, R&D Systems) was added to the wells for 1 h to label the bound Glypican-3. After a further 3 washes, the remaining HRP activity was quantified using an HRP substrate (DY999, R&D Systems) at 450 and 540 nm, with Glypican-3 levels determined by reference to a standard calibration curve. All conditions were assayed in triplicate.

Quantification of Recombinant BDNF

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Filtered (centrifree ultrafiltration device, Merck Group, Darmstadt, Germany) stock solutions of carrier free recombinant human BDNF (248-N4-250/CF, R&D Systems, Canada) of known concentrations (typically 250 mgL−1) in the phosphate buffered saline (PBS) pH 7.4 ± 0.2, 0.15 M (Biomed, Lublin, Poland) were prepared to remove aggregates and provide constant, free form protein molecules concentration in the solvent. To minimize errors in concentration measurements, two complementary spectrophotometric techniques were used: the BCA (protein quantification bicinchoninic acid assay, kit for low concentration, ABCAm, Cambridge, UK) and UV absorbance at 280 nm measured with microplate spectrophotometer (BioTek Epoch, United States). Prior to each measurement, the stock solution was diluted to a desired bulk concentration, typically 0.01–2 mgL−1. The exact concentration of these solutions after membrane filtration was determined by commercially available Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) (DY992, DY990, DY994, DY999, DY995, WA126, DY006, DY268, R&D Systems). The temperature of experiments was kept at a constant value equal to 298 ± 0.1 K.

A stop solution (R&D Systems, DY994) was added before the absorbance was read at 450 nm.

Binding of biotinylated NbB6-ABD to TNF and HSA was determined by ELISA, using streptavidin-HRP (DY998, Biotechne R&D Systems, USA) for detection. Plate wells (2592, Corning, USA) were coated with 1µg of TNF or HSA in carbonate buffer pH 9.6 overnight at 4 °C, then washed three times with 0.3 mL of PBS 1X 0.1% Tween 20 (PBST) and blocked with 3% BSA or 5% milk in 1X PBS for 1 h at room temperature. Wells were then washed three times with 0.3 mL PBST and incubated for 1h at RT with 100 µL of different concentrations of the biotinylated protein. Wells were again washed three times with 0.3 mL PBST and incubated for 1 h at RT with 100 µL streptavidin-HRP (1:200, DY998, Biotechne R&D Systems, USA). They were then washed four times with 0.3 mL PBST, revealed with 100 µL of 3,3′,5,5,5′-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) (DY999, Biotechne R&D Systems, USA), and stopped with 50 µL of 2N H2SO4. Binding signals were read at 450 nm in a plate reader (BOECO, Germany). KD estimation was carried out followed the method and fitting function described in [35 (link)]. Linear regression analysis using this function was performed using the MyCurveFit web server (https://mycurvefit.com/, last accessed on 20 March 2023).

EXAMPLE 5

Lipigenine™ was tested for its ability to stimulate an increase in HBD-2 concentration. The HBD-2 standard ABTS ELISA development kits were obtained from PeproTech (Cat# 900-K172). ELISA was performed according to the manufactory instructions of each kit by adding 100 μl/well of culture medium after overnight treatment. The substrate of ELISA reaction was using the substrate reagent from R&D Systems (DY999), and the reactions were stopped by adding 50 μl of 1N H2SO4 in each well. The Lipigenine™ culture was compared to the control medium which contained no other ingredients. The results were measured using a colorimeter, absorbance was measured at 450 nanometers (nm) within 30 minutes. Wavelength correction was set to 570 nm. The concentration of each sample was calculated using ELISA standard curve. [000126] The addition of Lipigenine™ showed increased HBD-2 concentrations at both 0.1% and 1% Lipigenine™ in solution as compared to the control. An increase in HBD-2 concentration of 7% was observed for a 0.1% Lipigenine™ formulation while an increase in HBD-2 expression of 23% was observed for a 1% Lipigenine™ formulation. These results are shown in FIG. 5.
