Multiplex Hormone Assay for Gut Dysregulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For these studies, we used a Human Gut Hormone 10-Plex ™ Assay (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA), which is based on a magnetic bead-based format for simultaneously measuring immunoreactivity to insulin, C-peptide, gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), leptin, ghrelin, glucagon, resistin, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), and visfatin in tissue homogenates. This assay was utilized to investigate a fuller spectrum of potential polypeptide abnormalities that could contribute to impairments in energy balance within the CNS (Table 1). The assays were performed in accordance with the manufacturer’s protocol. In brief, captured antigens were detected with biotinylated secondary antibodies followed by a streptavidin-phycoery-thrin reporter conjugate. Fluorescence intensity was measured in a MAGPIX (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) and hormone concentrations (pg/mL) were determined from standard curves using MAGPIX software.

Thawed plasma samples were diluted 1:4 in Universal Assay Buffer (UAB). Blood concentrations of leptin and total ghrelin (acylated + de-acylated) were measured in duplicate using Bio-Plex Pro Human Diabetes Assays (#171A7001M, Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) according to the manufacturer’s protocol and specifications. The Bio-Plex Pro Assays are immunoassays on magnetic beads that utilize principles similar to those of a sandwich ELISA, with capture antibodies against leptin and ghrelin covalently coupled to beads. Briefly, captured antigens against leptin and ghrelin were detected with biotinylated secondary antibodies followed by a streptavidin-phycoerythrin (SA-PE) reporter conjugate, where PE serves as the fluorescent reporter. Fluorescence intensity was measured in a MAGPIX (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) and hormone concentrations (pg/mL) were determined from standard curves with MAGPIX software.
According to the manufacturer specifications, for leptin, the lower limit of quantification is 3 pg/mL and the upper limit is 41,614 pg/mL. The intra-assay coefficient of variation is 4% and the inter-assay coefficient of variation is 4%. For ghrelin, the lower limit of quantification is 3 pg/mL and the upper limit is 41,664 pg/mL. The intra-assay coefficient of variation is 4% and the inter-assay coefficient of variation is 3% (2019 ).

Multiplex Assay for Gut Hormones

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Human Gut Hormone 10-Plex Assay (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA), a magnetic bead-based multiplex ELISA, was used to measure serum and CSF immunoreactivity to insulin, leptin, ghrelin, gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1), pancreatic polypeptide (PP), and pancreatic peptide YY (PYY). The polypeptides measured help maintain energy balance both systemically and in the CNS (Table 1). The assays were performed in accordance with the manufacturer’s protocol. In brief, duplicate serum (diluted 1:4 in assay dilution buffer) and CSF (undiluted) samples were incubated with magnetic beads covalently coupled with capture antibodies. Captured antigens were detected with biotinylated secondary antibodies followed by a streptavidin-phycoerythrin reporter conjugate. Fluorescence intensity was measured in a MAGPIX (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) and hormone concentrations (pg/mL) were determined from standard curves using MAGPIX software.

Serum Cytokine Profiling in Mice

Determining the serum cytokine levels was performed using the 23-plex-mouse cytokine group I Bioplex kit (BioRad, Hercules, CA) per manufacturer’s instruction. In brief, sera samples were diluted 1:25,000 in the provided assay buffer. A 96-well assay plate was prewet with 100 μl of assay buffer. Pre-mixed beads were added to each well in a 50 μl volume and then washed, using a magnet for bead retention, before adding 50 μl of diluted sample, standard, or blank. The assay plate was incubated for 30 minutes by shaking at room temperature in the dark. The plate was then washed prior to the addition of detection antibody. Following the detection antibody the plate was washed by adding 50 μl of Streptavidin-PE per well. The samples were in incubated for 10 minutes by shaking. The plate was washed for the final time and 125 μl of assay buffer was added. The results were acquired using BioRad Magpix. The data were analyzed using the Bio-Plex Manager software (BioRad, Hercules, CA).

Cytokines produced by CAR T cells after stimulation with anti-DR or anti-CD3/CD28 antibodies, were measured using a multiplexed bead assay (Bio-Rad) and analyzed using a Bio-Rad MagPix. 1 × 106 CAR T cells were cultured in a 48 well plate in which the wells had been coated with 250 μl of an anti-DR antibody (LB 3.1, 2 μg/ml), or anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies (1 μg/ml each), or PBS. After 18 hr of stimulation, 500 ul of supernatant was collected and frozen @ −20° C prior to the cytokine ELISA. Supernatants were assayed for expression of IFNγ, TNFα, IL-10, IL-17A, and IL-6. Standard curves were used to calculate cytokine concentration, and data are based on duplicate samples and representative of two independent experiments.
