For SRBC immunization experiments, 96-well immune plates (Thermo Fisher Scientific) were coated with anti–mouse Ig(H+L) (Southern Biotech). For NP immunization experiments, plates were coated with NP9-BSA or NP25-BSA (Biosearch Technologies). Mouse serum samples were incubated for 2 h at room temperature. Standard curves were generated using mouse IgM and mouse IgG1 (Southern Biotech). Bound antibodies were detected by AP-conjugated anti–mouse IgM and anti–mouse IgG1 antibodies (Table S5). Plates were developed with p-nitrophenylphosphate (Southern Biotech) dissolved in substrate buffer. For ELISPOT analysis, the spleens and BM of NP-KLH–immunized mice were removed at the indicated time points, and single cell suspensions were subjected to hypotonic lysis. The samples were plated overnight on 96-well filtration plates (Millipore) coated with NP25-BSA (Biosearch Technologies). The cells were plated in 1:2 serial dilutions, starting at 8 × 105 cells for BM-derived samples, and at 105 cells for spleen-derived fractions. NP-specific IgG1-secreting cells were detected by AP-conjugated anti–mouse IgG1 antibody (Table S5). Plates were developed with nitro blue tetrazolium chloride-5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl phosphate (NBT/BCIP; Roche).

Autoreactivity against nuclear and cytoplasmic self-antigens was determined with QUANTA Lite ANA ELISA (Inova Diagnostics) as described (52 (link)). Polyreactivity against ssDNA, dsDNA, Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), human insulin and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was determined as described (22 (link)). To measure NP binding, high-binding 96-well plates (Corning) were coated overnight with 50 μl of PBS containing 10 μg/ml of NP4-BSA or NP25-BSA (Biosearch Technologies). After washing with PBS containing 0.05% of Tween 20 (Sigma), wells were blocked with PBS containing 1% of BSA for 2 h at room temperature. Monoclonal antibodies were incubated at 4 μg/ml or 7 consecutive 1:4 dilutions in PBS for 2 h at room temperature. After washing, HRP-conjugated goat α-human IgG (Jackson ImmunoResearch) was added at 0.16 μg/ml for 1 h at room temperature. After additional washing, HRP was revealed with 1-Step ABTS Substrate Solution (ThermoFisher Scientific). Absorbance was measured at 405 nm after incubation for 20 min at room temperature.

Measurement of NP-specific IgG1 by ELISA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NP-specific IgG1 was measured by ELISA. In brief, NP25-BSA (Biosearch Technologies) was coated on ELISA plates (Immulon 4HBX; Thermo Fisher) overnight. The plates were then washed with ELISA wash buffer (0.5% Tween in PBS), serially diluted sera were applied to the plates, and plates were incubated 2 h at room temperature. Anti–mouse IgG1 HRP (Southern Biotech) was used to detect NP-specific IgG1. To measure IgG1 affinity maturation, antibody titer was determined with NP4-BSA and NP25-BSA. For allotype-specific IgG1 detection, anti–mouse IgG1a or IgG1b-biotin antibody (BD Biosciences) was used and followed by a streptavidin-HRP (BD Biosciences) reaction. After a wash step, 2,2'-Azino-di-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS) substrate (KPL) was added to the wells, and enzyme reaction was stopped by ABTS HRP Stop Solution (KPL). Optical density at 405 nm was measured with Fluostar Optima plate reader and software (BMG Labtech).

NP and LCMV Antibody ELISA Assays

For NP specific ELISPOTS, splenocytes were incubated on 10 ug/ml of NP5-BSA (high affinity) or NP25-BSA (all affinities) (Biosearch Technologies) coated plates (Millipore) and incubated with biotin-anti-mouse-IgG1or IgM (Southern Biotech) followed by incubation with ExtrAvidin-Alkaline Phosphatase (Sigma) and developed with NBT/BCIP substrate (Sigma). Spots were enumerated on CTL-ImmunoSpot reader (Cellular Technologies). LCMV specific antibodies were detected in serum by ELISA. Lysate from baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells infected with LCMV Armstrong was used to coat ELISA plates. HRP-linked antibodies against mouse IgG were used to detect the LCMV reactive antibodies. Relative OD values were determined at 450 nm, and values at dilutions within a linear range were used to determine final relative absorption.

Sera with serial dilutions were added to 96-well plates coated with 5 μg ml−1 NP5-BSA (for detecting high-affinity anti-NP) or NP25-BSA (for detecting both high- and low-affinity anti-NP) obtained from Biosearch Technologies and incubated at room temperature for 2 h, followed by incubation with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies against mouse IgM, IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, and IgG3 (Southern Biotechnology). The plates were developed with TMB peroxidase substrate kit (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA) and optical densities at 450 nm were measured. A mixture of sera from wild type mice immunized with NP-KLH was used to establish standard curves in each plate and antibody levels were shown as relative titers. Influenza A H3N2 specific antibodies in the sera or BAL fluid were measured similarly as above except that 96-well plates were coated with 2 μg ml−1 H3N2 HA or H3N2 NA (Sino Biological) and HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies against mouse IgG and IgA (Southern Biotechnology) were used.

To determine antigen-specific serum IgM, IgG1 and IgG3 titers, 96 well flat-bottom Nunc MaxiSorp Microwell plates were coated overnight with 50 μg /ml NP25-BSA (Biosearch Technologies, Novato, CA) diluted in carbonate buffer. The plates were blocked with 1% BSA for 2 h at room temperature prior to the addition of serially diluted serum samples. The serum samples were diluted with 1% BSA and two-fold dilutions were performed: 1/800 to 1/6400 for IgM, 1/10000 to 1/80000 for IgG1, and 1/200 to 1/3200 for IgG3. Subsequently, HRP-conjugated anti-IgM, anti-IgG1 or anti-IgG3 were added to the wells and NP-specific Ig levels were detected using 2,2'-Azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)-diammonium salt (ABTS) substrate (Southern Biotechnology, Birmingham, AL).

The numbers of NP-specific IgG1 ASCs in the BM of NP-OVA–immunized WT and Bhlhe40−/− mice 26 d after immunization were determined by ELISPOT assay. To this end, MAIPSWU10 96-well plates (Millipore) were coated overnight at 4°C with 5 µg/ml NP25-BSA (BioSearch Technologies) in PBS. RBC-depleted BM cells were plated in duplicate threefold dilution series from 106 to 1.23 × 105 cells per well and incubated overnight at 37°C in RPMI supplemented with 10% FCS, 1% L-glutamine, 1% penicillin-streptomycin, and 0.1% β-mercaptoethanol. Plates were washed with PBS/0.05% Tween-20 and subsequently incubated with 1 µg/ml biotinylated anti-mouse IgG1 antibody (RMG1-1; BioLegend). Spots were visualized with alkaline phosphatase–conjugated streptavidin (Mabtech) and BCIP-NBT-plus substrate (Mabtech). Plates were extensively washed, spots were counted using an AID ELISpot Reader (AID Diagnostika), and the mean cell number of NP-specific IgG1 ASCs per 106 BM cells was calculated from each threefold dilution series.

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.
