4-Hydroxy-3-nitrophenylacetic acid Succinimide Ester (NP-Osu, Biosearch Technologies) was conjugated to Alexa Fluor 647 Streptavidin (SA-AF647) or Alexa Fluor 594 Streptavidin at a hapten:streptavidin molar ratio of 10:1 or 20:1. Biotinylated Eα52–73 peptide (N-biotin-GSGFAKFASFEAQGALANIAVDKA-COOH)15 (link),77 (link) was synthesized at the RU Proteomics Resource Center. NP-Streptavidin conjugates were incubated with a 6x molar excess of biotinylated Eα peptide, and excess peptide was removed by dialysis. Hapten-protein conjugation ratios were calculated by measuring the absorbance value at 430 nm. For αDEC-OVA-Eα experiments shown in Figures S4E and S4F, NP-SA-AF647 conjugates were incubated with a 30x molar excess of D-biotin and excess D-biotin was removed by dialysis.

For the adoptive transfer of B cells into μMT mice, splenic B cells from naïve WT or BAFFR-/- were isolated by negative selection enrichment (STEMCELL Technologies, Vancouver, BC, Canada). Highly purified B cells were obtained by both WT and BAFFR-/- mice, as 98% of B cells purified from naïve BAFFR-/- mice were T1 B cells. 2 × 107 purified total B cells from WT mice and T1 B cells from BAFFR-/- mice or PBS as vehicle control were transferred i.v. into μMT recipients 18 h before immunization. The hapten 4-hydroxy-3-nitro-phenacetyl (NP) was conjugated to anti-CD180 (NP-αCD180) as previously reported [27 (link)]. The adoptively transferred mice were inoculated i.v. with 200 μl of PBS containing 100 μg/mouse of NP-αCD180. For direct immunizations of WT and BAFFR-/- mice, mice were inoculated i.v. with 50 μg/mouse of NP-αCD180. ELISA and ELISPOT assays to detect NP-IgG in the serum and NP-IgG ASCs in the spleens were performed as previously described [27 (link)]. To detect NP-specific cell subsets by flow cytometry NP-PE was prepared by conjugation of NPOsu (Biosearch Technologies) to phycoerythrin (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) as described [27 (link)].

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were done as described (48 (link)) with addition of 0.05% Tween 20 in block and wash buffers. 4-Hydroxy-3-nitrophenylacetyl hapten (NP) conjugated to BSA (NP-BSA, Ratio 28) was generated in-house with BSA fraction V (Roth Cat# 8076.3) and NP-OSu (Biosearch Technologies Cat# N1010-100). Plates were coated with 2 µg/ml NP-BSA or 1 µg/ml anti-light chain antibodies and developed with 1 µg/ml anti-isotype antibodies and the standards listed in Supplementary Table 1. For enzyme-linked immuno spot (ELISPOT) assays MultiScreenHTS IP Filter Plates (Merck Cat# MSIPS4510) were coated and developed as described above for the ELISA plates, incubated with cells overnight, washed with 0.1% Tween 20 and processed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For serum protein electrophoresis or immunofixation 10 µl serum was run on buffered agarose gels, pH8.6 Hydragel PROTEIN(E) (Sebia Cat# PN4100) or pH9.2 DOUBLE IF K20 (Sebia Cat# PN3036), and processed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For proteomics, serum samples were run on multiple lanes of pH8.6 agarose gels and stained with InstantBlue Ultrafast Protein Stain (Sigma Cat# ISB1L). Excised bands were processed and analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry as described below.

Production and Characterization of LLO(LT) Conjugates

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All peptides used in this study were purchased from Peptide 2.0 Inc., purified by reverse-phase high pressure liquid chromatography, and analyzed by mass-spectroscopy. A pET29b expression vector containing the His-tagged LLOLT sequence was provided by Dr. Emil Unanue (Washington University, St. Louis, MO)36 (link). For generation of LLOLT-N, site-directed mutagenesis was used to change the lysine at position 203 to an asparagine (N). Mutated clones were confirmed by sequencing. LLOLT and LLOLT-N were expressed in BL21 (DE3) competent cells (ThermoFisher) and purified as previously described36 (link). Protein purity was confirmed by SDS-PAGE. For conjugation of NP to LLOLT and LLOLT-N, 0.5mg of NP-OSu (LGC Biosearch Technologies) was added to 5mg of either LLOLT or LLOLT-N in 10 equal fractions over 20 minutes. The solution was then incubated at room temperature with rotations for 2 hours before being dialyzed into 0.1M NaHCO3, 145mM NaCl, pH 8.5. NP:LLOLT(-N) ratio was determined with the following extinction coefficients: LLOLT(-N) = 75750 M−1cm−1 and NP = 4230 M−1cm−1. Ratios of NP:LLOLT(-N) ranged from 5:1-10:1, and batches of NP-LLOLT(-N) were aliquoted and stored at -20°C to allow for continuity across experiments.

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.
