EV marker and immuno-related proteins in lysates from EVs and EECs were detected through the use of SDS-PAGE. Separated proteins transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) were blocked with Block Ace reagent (DS Pharma Biomedical, Osaka, Japan), and the membranes were incubated with the following antibodies; rabbit polyclonal anti-human CD63 antibody (1:2000, EXOAB-CD63A-1, System Biosciences), rabbit polyclonal anti-human HSP70 antibody (1:2000, EXOAB- HSP70A-1, System Biosciences), rabbit polyclonal anti-bovine CTSC (1:2000, ab182904, abcam, Tokyo, Japan), rabbit polyclonal anti-pocine IL6 (1:2000, ab193853, abcam), or rabbit polyclonal anti-human ACTB (1:5000, ab1801, abcam). The membranes were then incubated with secondary antibody, horseradish peroxidase labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:5000, Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA), and immunoreactive bands were detected using enhanced chemiluminescence (EMD Millipore, Temecula, CA, USA). Signals were detected using C-DiGit Blot Scanner (LI-COR) and then band density was assessed with Image Studio DiGit software (version 5.2)37 (link).

To determine expression of C3, C3b, and iC3b, decidual or placental tissues (n = 3 each day) were prepared in lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate, 1 mM Na3VO4, and 50 mM NaF). Decidual and placental tissue lysates (10 μg/lane) were separated through 12.5% SDS-PAGE and were then transferred onto a total of three polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes (Millipore, Milford, MA). After blocking with Block Ace reagent (DS Pharma Biomedical, Osaka, Japan), membranes were incubated with rabbit monoclonal anti-human C3 antibody (1:2000, ab200999, Abcam, Tokyo, Japan), rabbit polyclonal anti-mouse CD11b antibody (1:500 dilution, 0.5 mg/ml, ab75476, Abcam), or rabbit monoclonal anti-human ACTB antibody (for internal control, 1:1000, ab1801, Abcam). Immunoreactive bands were detected using enhanced chemiluminescence (Millipore) after incubation with horseradish peroxidase-labeled SAP solution (APRO life Science, Inc., Tokushima, Japan).

Cell lysates from the STR cultures were separated through SDS-PAGE and were then transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). After blocking with Block Ace reagent (DS Pharma Biomedical, Osaka, Japan), membranes were incubated with anti-CREB (1:2000, ab32515, abcam), phosphorylated (p-) CREB (1:2000, ab32096, abcam), p-ERK1/2 (1:2000, #4370, Cell signaling technology, Tokyo, Japan), p-p38MAPK (1:2000, #4511, Cell signaling technology), p-JNK (1:2000, #9251, Cell signaling technology), or ACTB (1:5000, ab1801, abcam) antibody. Immunoreactive bands were detected using enhanced chemiluminescence (EMD Millipore, Temecula, CA, USA) after incubation with horseradish peroxidase labeled anti-mouse, rabbit, or goat IgG (1:5000, Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA). Signals were detected using C-DiGit Blot Scanner (LI-COR) and then band density was assessed with Image Studio DiGit software (version 5.2) (36 (link)).

B95a cells infected with each of the CDVs were washed once with PBS and lysed with 1% Triton X-100 in 10 mM Tris–HCl (pH 7.5), 5 mM EDTA, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 0.25 mM PMSF. Each sample was separated by 10% SDS-PAGE and blotted onto Immobilon-P membrane (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). After the membranes were blocked with PBS containing 4% BLOCK ACE Reagent (DS Pharma Biomedical, Osaka, Japan) and 0.05% Tween 20, they were incubated with rabbit anti-LACK antibody, rabbit anti-TSA antibody, rabbit anti-LmSTI1 antibody (described above), or rabbit anti-N protein antibody for 1 h at room temperature. After the membranes were washed, they were incubated with goat anti-rabbit IgG antibody conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (Dako Cytomation, Glostrup, Denmark) and then treated with ECL western blotting detection reagent (GE Healthcare). The reaction was visualized on an LAS 1000 Image Analyzer (Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan).

Serum samples were separated through SDS-PAGE and were then transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). After blocking with Block Ace reagent (DS Pharma Biomedical, Osaka, Japan), membranes were incubated with goat polyclonal anti-SNX5 (1:2000, ab5983, abcam, Tokyo, Japan), rabbit polyclonal anti-SRFBP1 (1:2000, ab109598, abcam), rabbit polyclonal anti-DDB1 (1:2000, ab97522, abcam), rabbit monoclonal anti-CPSF6 (1:2000, ab175237, abcam), or mouse monoclonal anti-ACACA (1:2000, ab205883, abcam) antibody. The second western blot was conducted with rabbit polyclonal anti-SNX5 (1:2000, SAB2102260, Sigma-Aldrich, Tokyo, Japan) antibody. Immunoreactive bands were detected using enhanced chemiluminescence (EMD Millipore, Temecula, CA, USA) after incubation with horseradish peroxidase labeled anti-mouse, rabbit, or goat IgG (1:5000, Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA). Signals were detected using C-DiGit Blot Scanner (LI-COR) and then band density was assessed with Image Studio DiGit software (version 5.2) [38 (link)]. The whole blot can be found at supplementary materials (Figures S2 and S3).

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.
