Ammonium bicarbonate

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States, Germany, France, Belgium

Ammonium bicarbonate is a chemical compound with the formula (NH4)HCO3. It is a white, crystalline solid that is commonly used as a leavening agent in baking and as a source of ammonium ions in analytical and biochemical applications. Ammonium bicarbonate decomposes to release carbon dioxide and ammonia when heated, making it useful in certain chemical processes.

The non-stimulated (TgNS) and LPS stimulated (TgLPS) protein samples were separately digested by trypsinization using the protocol of Ru et al. [13 (link)]. Samples were reduced and alkylated before digestion. Briefly, protein samples were solubilized in 500μL of denaturing buffer [6M guanidine-HCl (Sigma-Aldrich)/25mM ammonium bicarbonate (Fisher Scientific), pH 8.5] and incubated with 250 μL of 1 mg/ml DTT (Sigma-Aldrich)/25 mM ammonium bicarbonate (Fisher Scientific) for 30 min at 55°C. Then, 500 μL of 1mg/mL iodoacetamide (Sigma-Aldrich)/25 mM ammonium bicarbonate (Fisher Scientific) was added, and the mixture was covered with aluminium foil and incubated for 15 min at 55°C. The reduced and alkylated protein sample went through buffer exchange with 25 mM ammonium bicarbonate (Fisher Scientific) using spin-columns with a molecular cut-off of 3 kDa (Merck Amicon Ultra 4) for 3 times. Then, 250 μL of digestion buffer (25 mM ammonium bicarbonate (Fisher Scientific)) and trypsin (Sigma-Aldrich) (ratio 1:50) were added to the sample and incubated at 37°C for 18 h. The samples were kept at -20°C or immediately analyzed.

EVs isolated from bile were lysed in 40 µL of 2% RapiGest SF (Waters, MA, USA) in 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate (Honeywell Fluka, Thermo Fisher Scientific), supplemented with 50 mM DTT (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation) and incubated at 60 °C for 30 min. The samples were then cooled to room temperature; 4 µL of 150 mM 2-iodoacetamide (Nacalai Tesque, Kyoto, Japan) was added to each sample after which the samples were incubated at room temperature for 30 min in the dark. The lysates were incubated with 1 µg/mL of Mass Spec Grade Trypsin/Lys-C Mix (Promega, WI, USA) at 37 °C overnight. Next a 4 µL of 10% TFA was added to the digested mixture, which was incubated at 37 °C for 30 min. After centrifugation at 13,000×g for 10 min at room temperature, the supernatant was lyophilized in a miVac system (Genevac Ltd, Ipswich, UK) and desalted using Pierce C-18 Spin Columns (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The resultant peptide was eluted in 70% acetonitrile and was then lyophilized using a miVac system and stored at − 80 °C.

For both samples and the standard mixture, the EtOH-precipitated pellets, which contained the intact palivizumab, were mixed with 100 μL of 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), followed by the addition of 2 μL of 550 mM dithiothreitol (4 μL for the standard) (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) and incubated at 50 °C for 50 min to reduce disulfide bonds. After incubation, 4 μL of 450 mM iodoacetamide (8 μL for the standard) (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) was added and incubated at room temperature (RT, 20–23 °C) for 1 h in the dark to alkylate the thiol groups. To digest the denatured proteins into peptides, 2 μL of 1 μg/μL trypsin (4 μL for the standard) (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) was added and mixtures were incubated at 37 °C with shaking at 300 rpm overnight.
A stable isotope-labeled synthetic (SIS) peptide with 13C6 and 15N2 at the lysine (K) of LLIYDTSK (New England Peptide, Gardner, MA, USA) was spiked into each sample (3 μL of 10 ng/μL SIS peptide) and standard (10 μL of 100 ng/μL SIS peptide) and these tryptic peptides were combined with the supernatant from the EtOH precipitation step for each sample.

IgG Isolation via Affinity Chromatography

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
IgG was isolated from the plasma samples by affinity chromatography, as described previously [28 (link)]. In brief, IgG was isolated in a high-throughput manner, using 96-well protein G monolithic plates (BIA Separations, Ajdovščina, Slovenia). Prior to use, monolithic plate was washed with ultrapure water maintained at 18.2 MΩ (Purelab Ultra, VWR, PA, USA) and equilibrated with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Plasma samples diluted 7-fold with PBS were applied to the protein G plate and washed with PBS to remove unbound proteins. IgG was eluted with 100 mM formic acid (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) and immediately neutralized with 1 M ammonium bicarbonate (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA) to maintain the stability of IgG. The IgG eluates were dried overnight and stored at −20 °C until the deglycosylation procedure.

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.
