HSA and human α-1 antitrypsin isolated from human plasma were purchased from Sigma (Saint Louis, MO, USA). Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG from Green Cross, Yongin, Korea) was used as pooled human immunoglobulin G (phIgG). Sterile human serum purchased from Sigma was used after heat inactivation.

Enzymatic Activity Assay of α1-Antitrypsin and Antithrombin

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
5 μM human α1-antitrypsin (Sigma) or human antithrombin (Aclotin®, LFB) were incubated with 50 μM annonacinone (or 0.5% DMSO in reaction buffer as control) for 20 min at 37 °C. The mixtures containing α1-antitrypsin were diluted in N-Methoxysuccinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Val p-nitroanilide (Sigma) containing solution and substrate hydrolysis kinetic was triggered by addition of neutrophil elastase (Sigma) to a final volume of 100 μL containing 13 nM α1-antitrypsin, 130 nM annonacinone, 82 μM chromogenic substrate and 5 nM neutrophil elastase. The mixtures containing antithrombin were diluted in fondaparinux (Arixtra®, GlaxoSmithKline) and CS-11(22)-FXa (Hyphen Biomed) containing solution and substrate hydrolysis kinetic was triggered by addition of factor Xa (Stago BNL) to a final volume of 100 μL containing 51 nM antithrombin, 510 nM annonacinone, 200 μM chromogenic substrate, 5 μM fondaparinux and 2 nM factor Xa.

Glycoprotein Deglycosylation Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human transferrin apoform (transferrin) (Wako), human α1AGP (Sigma; catalog no.: G9885), human fibrinogen (Fujifilm; catalog no.: 061-03691), human haptoglobin (Sigma; catalog no.: H3536), human α1-antitrypsin (Sigma; catalog no.: A9024), and human IgG (Wako; catalog no.: 143-09501) were purchased and used for the assays. One milligram of α1AGP, transferrin, fibrinogen, haptoglobin, α1-antitrypsin, or IgG was digested with 3.8 munit/μl of Arthrobacter ureafaciens neuraminidase (Nacalai Tesque) and 1.2 unit/μl of Streptococcus pneumoniae β-galactosidase (New England Biolabs) in 87 mM sodium acetate buffer (pH 4.5) at 37 °C overnight.

Quantification of Urinary Proteins by Western Blot

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pooled urinary protein samples (10 μg) were separated on 4-12 % Bis-Tris minigel in MOPS SDS running buffer (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA). Electrophoresis was performed at a constant voltage 200 V. Proteins were then transferred to PVDF membrane (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Little Chalfont, United Kingdom) in wet Mini Blot module from ThermoFisher Scientific at a constant voltage 20 V. Membrane was blocked for one hour in 5 % milk in tris-buffered saline containing 0.1 % Tween 20, and incubated overnight with the primary antibody in 5 % milk. Rabbit primary antibodies against human uromodulin (1:6000) from BioVendor, Brno, Czech Republic and human α-1-antitrypsin (1:1000) from Sigma were used. Anti-rabbit horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, Pennsylvania, USA) was added to the membrane for one hour and a signal was detected using a chemiluminescent luminol-based substrate (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, Massachusetts, 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.
