An Ad5 neutralization assay was carried out using participant plasma obtained one week previous to sigmoidoscopy as previously described38 (link).
For ELISA, 96 well plates (Thermo Scientific) were coated overnight with 1×109 viral particles of Ad5 purified by double-banding, CsCl gradients, and dialysis, and diluted in 100μl of coating buffer (Immunochemistry Technologies). Plates were then blocked for 2h with 5% non-fat milk (Fisher), 3% Inactivated Goat Serum (Invitrogen), and 0.2% Tween-20 (Sigma) in 1× PBS (Life Tech). Explant samples were assayed undiluted and at 1:10 and 1:100 dilutions in blocking buffer, and negative controls included RPMI with 20% FBS. Plasma samples were diluted in six 1:5 dilutions starting with 1:500. Samples, standard curves, and controls were incubated for 2h at 37°C.

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.
