Plasma samples were diluted with PBS (1:2 dilution for mouse plasma, and 1:5 dilution for human plasma). 2 µl of the diluted plasma was separated under denaturing conditions on 4-15% SDS-PAGE (Bio-Rad) and transferred to PVDF membranes (Millipore). Membranes were incubated with MD-2 primary antibody (Abcam) and fluorescent secondary antibodies (LI-COR). Fluorescence was quantitated with an Odyssey Image System (LI-COR). An IgG western blot or a total protein stain using AzureRed Fluorescent Total Protein Stain (Azure Biosystems) was used as a loading control.

For tissue western blots, control and cKO mice aged P90-P105 were deeply anesthetized with an intraperitoneal injection of Euthasol. Animals irresponsive to toe pinches were decapitated, and midbrains were dissected out on ice, then flash frozen in isopentane. Tissues were homogenized in RIPA lysis buffer (Cell Signaling Technology) and protein concentration for each sample was quantified with a Bio-Rad Protein Assay. A total of 30 mg of proteins per sample was loaded for each run.
For FACS-isolated cells, samples were diluted with PBS down to the same number of cells across groups. Laemmli buffer with 2-mercaptoethanol were added to samples (1 part Laemmli to 3 parts sample volume). Mixtures were boiled on a preheated hot plate for 5 minutes at 95°C. 20 μL per sample were loaded for each run.
Membranes were blocked overnight with Li-Cor Blocking Buffer at 4C, then incubated with primary antibodies diluted in the same buffer for 2 hours at RT, washed, then incubated with secondary antibodies for 1.5 hours at RT. Antibodies used are listed in the Key Resources Table. Membranes were scanned using a LI-COR Odyssey Image System. Band intensities were measured using ImageJ software; proteins of interest were normalized to reference genes (Gapdh or Actin). Sex of samples was not tracked during processing.

Cells were incubated with blocking buffer [10% skim milk in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)] and incubated with anti-PeV VP0 polyclonal antibody at 4°C overnight (LTK BioLaboratories, Taoyuan, Taiwan) (10 (link), 29 (link)). Then, the IRDye® 800CW goat anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody was added into the cells (Li-COR, #926-32211, Lincoln, NE, USA), followed by 2-h incubation. Images of immunofluorescence assay were captured, and the fluorescence intensity of PeV-A3-infected cells were quantified using Odyssey image system (Li-COR, Lincoln, NE, USA).

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.
