Sephadex protein a g beads

Manufactured by Merck Group

Sephadex protein A/G beads are a type of chromatography resin used for the purification of antibodies. They consist of agarose-based beads that have been functionalized with either protein A or protein G, which are bacterial proteins that bind to the Fc region of immunoglobulins. The beads can be used to selectively capture and purify antibodies from complex mixtures, such as cell culture supernatants or serum samples.

In Vitro Protein Expression and Immunoprecipitation

DNA plasmids containing full-length cDNA under the control of a T7 promoter for each of the validated antigens (Supplementary file 4) were verified by Sanger sequencing and used as DNA templates in the T7 TNT in vitro transcription/translation kit (Promega, Madison, WI; #L1170) using [35S]-methionine (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA; #NEG709A). Protein was column-purified on Nap-5 columns (GE healthcare, Chicago, IL; #17-0853-01) and immunoprecipitated on Sephadex protein A/G beads (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO; #GE17-5280-02 and #GE17-0618-05, 4:1 ratio) in duplicate with serum or control antibodies in 96-well polyvinylidene difluoride filtration plates (Corning, Corning, NY; #EK-680860). Each well contained 35’000 counts per minute (cpm) of radiolabeled protein and 2.5 ul of serum or appropriately diluted control antibody (Supplementary file 4). The cpms of immunoprecipitated protein was quantified using a 96-well Microbeta Trilux liquid scintillation plate reader (Perkin Elmer).

Radioligand Binding Assay for ZSCAN1

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The radioligand binding assay (RLBA) was performed as described previously.43 Briefly, full‐length human ZSCAN1 was in vitro transcribed and translated with [35S]‐methionine in a T7 dependent system using a ZSCAN1 plasmid containing a T7 promoter (Origene Cat: RC221074). The radiolabeled ZSCAN1 protein was then column purified and immunoprecipitated with 2.5 μL of serum or CSF per well using Sephadex protein A/G beads (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO; #GE17‐5280‐02 and #GE17‐0618‐05) in 96‐well filtration plates (Corning, Corning, NY; #EK‐680860). The plates were read out as counts per minute (cpm) using the Microbeta Trilux liquid scintillation plate reader (Perkin Elmer).

IFN-α2 Protein Immunoprecipitation Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A DNA plasmid containing full-length cDNA sequence with a Flag-Myc tag (OriGene, #RC221091) was verified by Sanger sequencing and used as template in T7-promoter–based in vitro transcription/translation reactions (Promega, #L1170) using [S35]-methionine (PerkinElmer, #NEG709A). IFN-α2 protein was column-purified using NAP-5 columns (GE Healthcare, #17-0853-01); incubated with 2.5 μl of serum, 2.5 μl of plasma, or 1 μl of anti-myc–positive control antibody (Cell Signaling Technology, #2272); and immunoprecipitated with Sephadex protein A/G beads (4:1 ratio; Sigma-Aldrich, #GE17-5280-02 and #GE17-0618-05) in 96-well polyvinylidene difluoride filtration plates (Corning, #EK-680860). The radioactive counts [counts per minute (cpm)] of immunoprecipitated protein were quantified using a 96-well MicroBeta TriLux liquid scintillation plate reader (PerkinElmer). Antibody index for each sample was calculated as follows: (sample cpm value – mean blank cpm value)/(positive control antibody cpm value – mean blank cpm value). For the COVID-19 patient and CCP cohorts, a positive signal was defined as greater than 6 standards deviations above the mean of pre–COVID-19 blood bank non-inflammatory controls.

The radioactive counts [counts per minute (cpm)] of immunoprecipitated protein were quantified using a 96-well MicroBeta TriLux liquid scintillation plate reader (PerkinElmer). Antibody index for each sample was calculated as follows: (sample cpm value – mean blank cpm value)/(positive control antibody cpm value – mean blank cpm value). For the COVID-19 patient and CCP cohorts, a positive signal was defined as greater than 6 SDs above the mean of pre–COVID-19 blood bank noninflammatory controls. For the large asymptomatic San Francisco community population cohort, a positive signal was defined as having a z score greater than 3.3 (P = 0.0005) relative to the whole cohort.

The radioactive counts (cpms) of immunoprecipitated protein was quantified using a 96-well Microbeta Trilux liquid scintillation plate reader (Perkin Elmer). Antibody index for each sample was calculated as follows: (sample cpm value – mean blank cpm value) / (positive control antibody cpm value – mean blank cpm value). For the COVID-19 patient and convalescent plasma cohorts, a positive signal was defined as greater than 6 standard deviations above the mean of pre-COVID-19 blood bank non-inflammatory controls. For the large asymptomatic San Francisco community population cohort, a positive signal was defined as having a z-score greater than 3.3 (p=0.0005) relative to the whole cohort.

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.
