Single-cell suspensions from the bladders and spleens of sacrificed mice were obtained as previously described [39 (link),40 (link)]. Briefly, splenocytes were obtained by mechanical dissociation, while bladders were minced and digested step-wise with 0.5 mg/mL thermolysin (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) and 1 mg/mL collagenase/dispase (Roche). IFN-γ ELISPOT assays were performed as described [39 (link)] using Multiscreen-HA 96-well plates (MAHA S4510, Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), anti-IFN-γ monoclonal antibody (R4-6A2, Beckton Dickinson Pharmingen), biotinylated anti-IFN-γ monoclonal antibody (XMG1.2, Beckton Dickinson Pharmingen) and Streptavidin-AP (Roche). 100,000 splenocytes/well in duplicates were incubated with 0.5 μg/mL of H-2Db restricted Uty246–254 peptide or medium alone (control wells) for 16–24 h. Uty-specific responses were defined as the number of IFN-γ spots/105 cells in the Uty-stimulated wells minus the number of IFN-γ spots/105 cells in the control wells (<3 spots/well). T cell staining was performed as previously described [41 (link)], using PE-conjugated Uty246–254 H-2Db-restricted dextramers (Immudex, København, Denmark) and APC-labeled CD8α (clone 53-6.7, eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA). Flow-cytometer cell acquisition and analysis were performed as described above.

The CD9 level in exosomes was determined by a sandwich ELISA. A MaxiSorp micro titer plate (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA) was coated with 5 μg/mL anti-CD9 antibody (Ancell Corporation, Bayport, MN, USA) in carbonate buffer (pH 9.6) at 4 °C overnight. After washing 3 times with PBS, 200 μL of 1% BSA/PBS was added and incubated at room temperature for 1 h with shaking. After washing, sample was added in a final volume of 100 μL and incubated at room temperature for 2 h. After washing, 0.5 μg/mL biotinylated anti-CD9 antibody (Ancell Corporation) in 1% BSA/PBS was added in a final volume of 100 μL and incubated at room temperature for 1 h. After washing, 1:5000 diluted streptavidin-AP (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) in 1% BSA/PBS was added in a final volume of 100 μL and incubated at room temperature for 1 h. After washing 6 times with PBS, CDP-Star substrate with Emerald II Enhancer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was added and chemiluminescence was recorded by the EnVision Multilabel Reader (PerkinElmer, MA, USA).

Quantifying TBP Binding Complexes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Briefly, as previously described, we obtained nuclear extract of sgNSUN6 and non-targeting controls edited cells as described18 ,19 (link) and incubated it with the TBP probe labeled with biotin on the 5ʹ and 3ʹ end as described16 (link) and followed protocol described. To inhibit the TBP complexes, we treated the nuclear extracts with Sarkosyl, an inhibitor of NELFB. We then resolved the complexes formed in 4%–20% Tris Glycine (Novex) and blotted it into a hybond N+ membrane. The membrane was air dried and then, blocked with a nucleic acid blocking reagent (Roche) in PBS for 1 h, then incubated with 1:1000 Streptavidin AP (Roche) for 2 h, washed with PBS, and then imaged with CDP star (Roche) in a biorad chemidoc imaging system.

To detect the level of IgG1 and IgM antibodies in mice sera, 96 well ELISA F-bottom, clear, Microlon 600 (high binding) microplates (Greiner Bio-one) were coated with goat anti-mouse kappa-UNLB (Southern Biotech) and goat anti-mouse lambda-UNLB (Southern Biotech) antibodies at 2.5 μg/mL O/N at 4C. After washing with PBS (3X), coated plates were blocked with PBSA (PBS+0.5% BSA+0.01% azide) for 1 h at RT. Sera was added to plates at a serial dilution of 1:500, 1:1000, and 1:2000 and incubated at RT for 2 h. Plates were washed with PBS (4X) and anti-IgM-biotin or anti-IgG1-biotin (Southern Biotech) were added to wells at a final concentration of 1 μg/mL. Plates were washed with PBS (4X) and streptavidin-AP (Roche) was added to wells at 1:3000 for 1 h at RT. Plates were washed with PBS (3X) and 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (Sigma) substrate in Developing Buffer (Thermo Scientific) was added to wells. Reaction was detected by a FlexStation 3 (Molecular Devices) plate reader. Concentration of antibody in sera was determined by comparing OD to standard curve. Standard curves obtained by serial dilutions (0.025 μg/mL, 0.00625 μg/mL...9.76×10−5 μg/mL, 2.44×10−5 μg/mL) of IgM and IgG1 antibodies (Southern Biotech).

Microarray Hybridization and Signal Detection

Hybridization of amplicons to probes on microarrays was performed according to a previously described protocol (Hsiao et al., 2005), with modifications. Briefly, 4 μl of labelled amplicons were added to 220 μl of hybridization solution [5 × SSC (v/v), 2% blocking reagent (w/v; Roche Applied Science), 0.1% N‐lauroylsarcosine (w/v) and 0.02% SDS (w/v)], denatured with boiling water for 7 min, and immediately chilled on ice for 10 min. Hybridization was conducted at 58°C for 40 min, and arrays were then washed twice at 56°C for 5 min each with 0.25 × SSC to remove non‐hybridized PCR products, and incubated for 30 min with 200 μl of blocking solution [1% (wt/vol) blocking reagent dissolved in maleic acid buffer (0.1 M maleic acid, 0.15 M NaCl, pH 7.5)] containing either anti‐DIG‐AP (1:5,000 dilution; Roche Applied Science) or streptavidin‐AP (1:1,000 dilution; Roche Applied Science). Signals were colour developed with 500 μl nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT)/5‐bromo‐6‐chloro‐3‐indolyl phosphate, p‐toluidine salt (BCIP) solution (Roche Applied Science) at room temperature without shaking. PVC chip signals were captured and analysed with Dr AiM reader (Dr Chip Biotechnology), while nylon membrane signals were captured with a BioSpectrum Imaging System (UVP, Upland, CA, USA) and analysed with VisionWorks LS Analysis Software v6.5.2 (UVP).

High‐binding 384‐well plates (Grenier Bio‐one, Kremsmünster, Austria) were coated overnight with TNP‐BSA (Biosearch Technologies) at 10 μg/ml. Plates were washed between each step with PBS containing 0·05% Tween. Blocking was performed using 4% BSA. Serum was diluted 1 in 50 in PBS with 1% BSA. The secondary antibodies anti‐IgG3 (R40‐82, BD Biosciences) or anti‐IgM (RMM‐1, BioLegend), were then applied in a solution of 1% skimmed milk and 1% BSA. Streptavidin‐AP (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) was added in 0·1% BSA. Finally p‐nitophenyl phosphate (Sigma‐Aldrich, St Louis, MO) at 1 mg/ml in NPP buffer was applied and plates were read at 405 nm using a Biotek plate reader (Biotek, Winooski, VT).

Paraffin-embedded tissues were stained immunohistochemically. Tissues were cut in 5 mm serial sections. Antigen retrieval was performed in an acidic citrate buffer for protein gene product 9.5 (PGP9.5) and substance P (SP) or an alkaline target retrieval buffer for NGF, neurotrophin 3 (NT-3), and brainderived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Primary and biotinylated secondary antibodies (Table 1) and streptavidin-AP (Roche Diagnostics, Rotkreuz, Switzerland) were diluted in antibody diluent (DakoCytomation, Glostrup, Denmark). The antibodies were incubated at room temperature with individual dilution factors and incubation times ranging from 40 to 75 minutes or overnight at 4 C. Antibody-antigen detection was performed using the Fast Red Substrate System (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, USA). Sections were counterstained with hematoxylin (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) and mounted with Eukitt (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, 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.
