Antibody Titers Quantification by ELISA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The titers of IgG antibodies were measured in the serum sample from each group of mice by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Briefly, the recombinant GP and VP40 proteins were individually coated as the antigens at a concentration of 1 μg/ml in 96-well polystyrene microtiter plates for overnight at 4°C. After blocking with 5% milk in PBS buffer, the ELISA plates were incubated with serial dilutions of serum samples at 37°C for 2 h. The titer of total IgG was detected with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated goat against mouse IgG (1:2000 dilution, Santa Cruz Biotechnology). IgG subtype antibodies including IgG1, IgG2a, and IgG2b (1:2000 dilution, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) were further detected individually. The immune complex was developed with 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) (Sigma). The reaction was stopped with 2 mol/L H2SO4, and the plates were read with the absorbance at 450 nm in a microplate reader (Bio-Rad). All samples were detected in triplicate wells.

Antibody titers were determined using a virion-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) as previously described (39 (link)). CHIKV-coated (106 virions/well in 50 ml of PBS) polystyrene 96-well MaxiSorp plates (Nunc) were blocked with PBS containing 0.05% Tween 20 (PBST) and 5% (wt/vol) nonfat milk for 1.5 h at 37°C. Sera from normal or infected groups were heat inactivated and serially diluted in antibody diluent (0.05% PBST plus 2.5% [wt/vol] nonfat milk). One hundred microliters of diluted sera per well was added, and the mixture was incubate for 1 h at 37°C. Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (Santa Cruz, catalog no. sc-2005), IgG1 (Santa Cruz, catalog no. sc-2060), IgG2b (Santa Cruz, catalog no. sc-2062), IgG2c (Southern Biotech, catalog no. 1079-01), IgG3 (Santa Cruz, catalog no. sc-2972), and IgM (Santa Cruz, catalog no. sc-2973) antibodies were used. IgG2c was tested in lieu of IgG2a since only IgG2c gene is present in C57BL/6 mice (39 (link)). Total IgG and IgM quantification assays were performed on serum samples from animals receiving serum dilutions of 1:2,000 and 1:100, respectively. Pooled sera were used for IgG1, IgG2b, IgG2c, and IgG3 isotyping. ELISAs were developed using TMB substrate and terminated with stop reagent (Sigma-Aldrich). The absorbance was measured at 450 nm.

ELISA for Antibody Subtyping

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ELISA was performed as described previously (28 (link)). Briefly, 96-well plates (Costar) were coated with 1.2 μg of synthetic SP (>90% purity; Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China) per well and incubated overnight at 4°C. Individual sera were serially diluted from 1:100 to 1:4,096 in a blocking buffer (0.05% Tween, 3% milk in PBS) and incubated for 1 h at 37°C. Subsequently, 100 μl of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugated rabbit anti-mouse antibody subtypes including IgA, IgG, IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, or IgG3 (Santa Cruz) at dilutions of 1:2,500 were added, followed by incubation for 1 h at 37°C. The color reaction was developed with TMB (Qiagen) for 30 min and then stopped with 2 M H2SO4. The absorbance was detected at 450 nm. Sera from PBS- and FDmut-treated mice were used as control. Antibody titers were defined as logarithm10 of the reciprocal of the highest dilution giving twice the OD of negative control sera (29 (link), 30 (link)).

Antibody titres were determined by virion‐based ELISA as previously described.18, 19 Pooled heat‐inactivated mouse sera of respective groups were tested at 1:100 dilution for IgM, and 1:500 dilution for IgG. For IgG subtyping studies, pooled sera were serially diluted from 1:250 to 1:32 000 for IgG3, 1:512 000 for IgG1 and IgG2b, and 1:8 192 000 for IgG2c. ZIKV‐specific IgG subtypes are expressed as antibody titre, defined as the greatest reacting dilution before the OD value reaches baseline control (pooled 0 dpi sera). HRP‐conjugated goat anti‐mouse IgM (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA), IgG (Merck, Kenilworth, NJ, USA), IgG1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), IgG2b (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), IgG2c (Southern Biotech, Birmingham, AL, USA) and IgG3 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) antibodies were used. IgG2c was tested in lieu of IgG2a since only IgG2c gene is present in C57BL/6 mice.47, 67 ELISAs were developed using TMB substrate and terminated with stop reagents (Sigma‐Aldrich). The absorbance was measured at 450 nm. ELISA readings were conducted in duplicates.

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.
