DMS-Seq Library Preparation Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sequencing libraries were prepared as described (Rouskin et al., 2014 (link)). Specifically, DMS treated mRNA samples were denatured for 2 min at 95°C and fragmented at 95°C for 2 min in 1x RNA fragmentation buffer (Zn2+ based, Ambion). The reaction was stopped by adding 1/10 vol of 10X Stop solution (Ambion) and quickly placed on ice. The fragmented RNA was run on a 10% TBU (Tris borate urea) gel for 60 min. Fragments of 60–70 nucleotides in size were visualized by blue light (Invitrogen, Carlsbad CA) and excised. Reverse transcription was performed in a 20 µL volume at 52°C using Superscript III (Invitrogen), and truncated reverse transcription products of 25–45 nucleotides were extracted by gel purification.

Sera were evaluated for anti-RSV IgG levels as described (51 (link)). Briefly, high-binding ELISA plates (Corning, Corning, NY) were coated with 5 µg/mL RSV A2 or B1 lysate overnight at 4°C. The next day, wells were washed 3x with KPL wash buffer (1x KPL in distilled water (diH2O) (SeraCare, Milford, MA) and blocked with Blotto (5% non-fat dry milk) overnight at 4°C.

ELISA for Spike Protein Detection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We performed ELISAs as previously described [15 (link)]. Briefly, spike proteins were suspended at 1 μg/ml in 1 × PBS. One hundred microliters of protein suspension was added to each well of a 96-well Nunc MaxiSorp ELISA plate and allowed to coat overnight at 4 °C for 16 h. Wells were washed three times with 300 μl of 1× PBS + 0.05% Tween20 (wash buffer) followed by blocking for 2 h at room temperature with 200 μl of 1× PBS + 0.05% Tween20 + 5% Non-fat dry milk (blocking buffer). Wells were washed again three times with 300 μl of wash buffer prior to addition of 100 μl of sample diluted in blocking buffer (serum samples were heat inactivated for 45 min at 56 °C and diluted at 1:400 in blocking buffer). Samples were incubated for 1 h at room temperature, then washed three times with 300 μl of wash buffer. One hundred microliters of 1-Step Ultra TMB Substrate (ThermoFisher) was added and the plate was incubated for 10 min prior to stopping the reaction with 1 N sulfuric acid (Stop Solution, ThermoFisher). Absorbance was read at 450 nm and 650 nm on a BioTek Epoch2 plate reader. The process is semi-automated through the use of a BioTek EL406 plate washer/dispenser and two BioStack 4 plate stackers to minimize plate-to-plate variation and increase throughput (see Klumpp-Thomas C, Kalish H et al. 2020 for detailed automation methods) [15 (link)].

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.
