Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Single-molecule fluorescence data were attained on a home-built prism-type TIRF microscope (26 (link)) with green (532 nm) and red (635 nm) laser lines. Emissions were split by a Dual View optical setup (DV2, Photometrics) in bypass mode before collection using an EMCCD camera (ProEM Exelon512, Princeton Instruments). Laser excitation was modulated by the opening and closing of shutter controlled by Micro-Manager image capture software (78 ).
The single-molecule imaging buffer was 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 5 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mM DTT, 200 μg/ml acetylated BSA (Promega), 0.0025% P-20 surfactant (GE Healthcare), 1 mM ATP (Roche), and stated [NaCl]. The imaging buffer included saturated (∼3 mM) Trolox, PCA (1 mM), and PCD (10 nM) to minimize photo blinking and photobleaching (79 (link), 80 (link)).
EcMutS lifetime was calculated by flowing AF647-EcMutS (5 nM) into the prepared flow cell. In the absence of flow protein–DNA interactions were observed live. After recording Syto 59 (1000 nM, Invitrogen) was used to stain the DNA. At least two laser power settings were examined to clearly distinguish lifetime-dependent dissociation from fluorophore photobleaching. Reported lifetimes varied less than 10% at two laser power settings.

Mouse IgG2b Fc and IgG2c Fc were immobilized on a CM5 sensor chip using amine coupling on a Biacore T100 (GE Healthcare). Lane 1 was used for a control with no protein immobilized. Carboxymethyl dextran was activated by flowing over a 1:1 mixture of 0.4 M 1-ethyl-3(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide and 0.1M N-hydroxy-succinimide for 7 min at 5 μL/min. Mouse IgG samples were diluted to a concentration of 1 μg/mL in 10 mM sodium acetate, pH 5.0, and flowed over the CM5 chip for 10 min at 5 μL/min. Unreacted sites were blocked with 1 M ethanolamine, pH 8.5, for 7 min. Typical immobilization response units varied from 400–1000. The CM5 chip used a coupling buffer containing 20 mM MOPS, 100 mM sodium chloride, and 0.05% P20 surfactant (GE Healthcare). The binding analysis buffer was identical but contained 1 μM bovine serum albumin. All experiments were carried out at 25°C. The CM5 chip was regenerated between runs with 100 mM glycine, pH 3.0, washes for 30 s to remove any bound receptor. Dissociation constants and rates were determined by averaging the values from at least two independent experiments. The error for this mean was determined by propagating the errors associated with the least-squares fit of each individual value. Differences in values were assessed by comparing the propagated error associated with each mean value.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All SPR experiments were performed using a Biacore T200 instrument operating at 25°C. Biotinylated HA was covalently immobilized on a streptavidin-coated, carboxymethylated dextran sensor surface (SA chip, GE Healthcare). JNJ4796 was dissolved at 10mM in 100% DMSO and then diluted in the running buffer (20 mM PBS, 137 mM NaCl, 0.05% P-20 surfactant, pH 7.4 (GE Healthcare), supplemented with 2% DMSO). Binding constants were obtained from a series of injections of JNJ4796 from 0.1 nM to 1 µM with a flow rate of 30 µl/min. Data from single-cycle kinetics were analyzed using BIAevaluation software. Base lines were adjusted to zero for all curves, and injection start times were aligned. The reference sensorgrams were subtracted from the experimental sensorgrams to yield curves representing specific binding followed by background subtraction (i.e. double-referencing). Binding kinetics was evaluated using a 1:1 binding model (Langmuir) to obtain association rate constants (ka) and dissociation rate constants (kd). Binding affinity (KD) was estimated from the concentration dependence of the observed steady-state responses.

IgG1 Fc Immobilization and SPR Binding

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
IgG1 Fc was immobilized on a CM5 chip surface (GE Life Sciences) by performing standard amine coupling procedures on a Biacore T100 instrument. The carboxymethyl dextran surface was activated by 1:1 mixture of 0.4 M 1-ethyl-3(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride and 0.1 M N-hydroxy-succinimide for 7 min at a flow rate of 5 μl/min. IgG Fc was applied to the chip at 1 μg/mL in 10 mM sodium acetate, pH 5.0 buffer and at a flow rate of 5 μl/min. Residual functional sites were deactivated by washing with 1 M ethanolamine, pH 8.5 for 7 min. Final immobilization response units were between 400–700. Flow line 1 was used as a blank with no IgG1 Fc immobilized on all sensor chips. All SPR measurements were performed at 25°C. The binding analyses were performed with binding buffer containing 20 mM MOPS, 100 mM sodium chloride, 1 μM bovine serum albumin and 0.05% P20 surfactant (v/v, GE Life Sciences), pH 7.2. The CM5 chip surface was regenerated by a 100 mM glycine, pH 3.0 wash for 30 s to remove bound receptor. A minimum of one replication for each condition was collected on different days. Representative results are shown.

Complement protein Factor H was purified from normal human plasma as previously described (31 (link)). Purified Factor H was >97% homogenous by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with an apparent molecular weight on SDS gel electrophoresis of 155,000 in its reduced form. Protein concentration was determined spectrophotometrically using an E280nm (1% solution) of 12.4 for Factor H and its recombinant fragments. Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was 10 mM phosphate, 145 mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and pH 7.4. Veronal-buffered saline (VBS) was 5 mM veronal, 145 mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide, and pH 7.4. Gelatin VBS (GVB) was VBS containing 0.1% gelatin, while GVBE was GVB containing 10 mM EDTA. HEPES-buffered saline (HBS-P) contained 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 0.005% P20 surfactant (GE Biosciences), and 0.02% sodium azide. All buffers were made to be similar and close to physiological isoelectric strength and the physiological pH to allow comparisons between measurements to be made.

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.
