Complement deposition was performed as described before(46 (link)). In brief, biotinylated antigens were coupled to FluoSphere NeutrAvidin beads (Thermo Fisher) and to form immune-complexes incubated with 10 μl 1:10 diluted plasma samples for 2h at 37°C. After non-specific antibodies were washed away, immune-complexes were incubated with guinea pig complement in GVB++ buffer (Boston BioProducts, MA, USA) for 20 min at 37°C. EDTA containing PBS (15mM) was used to stop the complement reaction and deposited C3 on beads was stained with anti-guinea pig C3-FITC antibody (MP Biomedicals, CA, USA, 1:100, polyclonal) and analyzed on an iQue analyzer (Intellicyt).

Complement deposition was performed as described before (45 (link)). In brief, biotinylated antigens were coupled to fluorescent neutravidin beads (Thermo Fisher) and incubated with 10 μl of 1:10 diluted plasma. Beads were incubated with guinea pig complement in GVB++ buffer (Boston BioProducts, MA, USA) for 20 min at 37°C. Deposited C3 on beads was stained with anti-guinea pig C3 antibody labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) (MP Biomedicals, CA, USA) and analyzed by flow cytometry on a LSRII instrument (BD Biosciences, CA, USA).

For the ADCD assays39 (link), biotinylated antigens were coupled to FluoSphere NeutrAvidin beads (ThermoFisher). Immune complexes were formed by incubating antigen coupled beads with 10 ul of 1:10 diluted plasma samples at 37 °C for 2 hours. Following incubation, non-specific antibodies were washed off followed by incubation of the immune complex with guinea pig complement in GVB + + buffer (Boston BioProducts) at 37 °C for 20 min. To stop the complement reaction, 15 mM EDTA (Corning) in PBS was added to the immune complex. C3 deposited on beads were stained with anti-guinea pig C3-FITC antibody (MP Biomedicals, 1:100, polyclonal) and analyzed on an iQue analyzer (Intellicyt).

Complement Deposition Assay Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Complement deposition was performed as described before (48). In brief, biotinylated antigens were coupled to FluoSphere NeutrAvidin beads (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and, to form immune complexes, incubated with 10 μl 1:10 diluted plasma samples for 2 hours at 37°C. After non-specific antibodies were washed away, immune-complexes were incubated with guinea pig complement in GVB++ buffer (Boston BioProducts) for 20 min at 37°C. EDTA-containing phosphate-buffered saline (15mM) was used to stop the complement reaction and deposited C3 on beads was stained with anti-guinea pig C3-fluroescein isothiocyanate (FITC) antibody (MP Bio Cat# 0855385, RRID:AB_2334913, 1:100) and analyzed on an iQue analyzer (Intellicyt). Each sample was analyzed in duplicate.

Complement Deposition Assay for Antigen-Antibody Complexes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Complement deposition was performed as previously described [14 (link)]. Briefly, biotinylated antigens were bound to FluoSphere NeutrAvidin beads (Thermo Fisher Scientific; Waltham, MA, USA). To form immune-complexes, antigen-coated beads were incubated with 10 µL of 1:10 diluted serum samples. Non-specific antibodies were washed away, and immune complexes were incubated with guinea pig complement in GVB++ buffer (Boston BioProducts; Milford, MA, USA). Complement reaction was stopped using EDTA containing PBS (15 mM). Deposited C3 on beads were stained with anti-guinea pig C3-FITC antibody (MP Biomedicals; Irvine, California USA, 1:100, polyclonal) and analyzed on an anti-guinea pig C3-FITC antibody (MP Biomedicals, CA, USA, 1:100, polyclonal) and analyzed on an iQue analyzer (Intellicyt; Albuquerque, NM, USA).

Luminex Bead-Based Complement Deposition Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Complement deposition was performed as described previously49 (link), using Luminex beads (Luminex Corp). Briefly, Luminex microspheres were coupled to biotinylated antigens, and immune complexes were formed using 1:30 diluted plasma samples. After a 2-h incubation at 37 °C, guinea pig complement in GVB++ buffer (Boston BioProducts) was added to immune complexes for 20 min at 37 °C. To stop the complement reaction, EDTA-containing phosphate-buffered saline (15 mM) was used, then C3 deposition on beads was detected using a 1:100 diluted anti-guinea pig complement C3 antibody (MP Biomedicals). MFI values were analyzed by flow cytometry on an iQue analyzer (Intellicyt) (Fig. S6).

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.
