Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK293T cells were transiently transfected with Flag-tagged M2 wild type (WT) and M2e Ala scan mutants. 24 h after infection the cells were detached, washed and blocked. Cells were stained with 20 μg/ml M2e VHH-23m or 20 μg/ml F-VHH-4 and subsequently fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde. After permeabilization (10 × permeabilization buffer diluted in double-distilled water; eBioscience), cells were stained with mouse anti-Histidine tag antibody (MCA1396, Abd Serotec) and rabbit anti-Flag tag antibody (F7425, Sigma-Aldrich). Binding of the primary antibodies was revealed with donkey anti-mouse IgG coupled to Alexa Fluor 647 (1/600; Invitrogen) and donkey anti-rabbit IgG coupled to Alexa Fluor 488 (1/600; Invitrogen). The median fluorescence intensity (MFI) of the cells was determined with an LSRII HTS flow cytometer (BD) and was calculated by subtracting the median fluorescence of binding of M2e-VHH-23m or F-VHH-4 to transfected cells from the median fluorescence of untransfected cells bound by M2e-VHH-23m or F-VHH-4.

Example 1

Binding to cell-expressed human PD-1 was evaluated on human PD-1 over-expressing CHO cells. A Nanobody dilution series was prepared in assay buffer: PBS/10% FBS/0.05% sodium azide. 1×105 cells/well were transferred to a 96-well V-bottom plate and resuspended in 100 μL Nanobody dilution. After 30 minutes incubation at 4° C., the cells were washed with 100 μL/well assay buffer and resuspended in 100 μL/well of 1 μg/ml anti-FLAG (Sigma, F1804) or anti-HIS (AbD Serotec, MCA 1396). Samples were incubated for 30 minutes at 4° C., washed with 100 μL/well assay buffer, and resuspended in 100 μL/well of 5 μg/ml PE-labeled Goat anti-mouse IgG (Jackson ImmunoResearch, 115-116-071). Samples were incubated for 30 minutes at 4° C., washed, and resuspended in 100 μL/well of 5 nM TOPRO3 (LifeTechnologies, T3606) solution before analysis on FACS CANTO II (BD). The data from these experiments are set forth in FIG. 5.

This Example demonstrated that the anti-human PD-1 monovalent Nanobody F023700706 bound to human PD-1 in a manner similar to the F023700275 monovalent Nanobody from which it was derived.

Mature CsgA fibers were centrifuged for 90 min at 20,000 g to pellet fibers. The supernatant was loaded on a 10 kDa or 30 kDa cutoff spin concentrator (Amicon®Ultra) and the flow through was probed for the presence of CsgA in ELISA. TEM samples were prepared to visually inspect for fibers. As a concentration standard, freshly desalted CsgA was used. 50 μL of two fold dilution series in MES were coated on 96-well Maxisorp microtiter plates (Nunc) for 30 min at 37°C. Wells were blocked for 45 min at 37°C with 10% skimmed milk powder in PBS prior to incubation with the primary anti-His mAb antibody (AbD Serotec; MCA1396; 1:500 dilution) for 1h at 37°C. Wells were subsequently washed and bound antibodies were detected by incubation with an anti-mouse IgG alkaline phosphatase conjugated secondary antibody (Sigma-Aldrich; A3562; 1:500 dilution) at 37°C for 1 h. Binding was revealed using p-dinitrophenylphosphatase (p-DNPP) as substrate. Absorbance values were measured at 405 nm.

Mature CsgA fibers were deposited onto poly-L-lysine treated microscope slides51 (link) and slides were subsequently blocked for nonspecific binding by incubation with 5% (w/v) bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 10 min. The slides were then incubated at room temperature for 5 min with 3 μL 25 µM CsgC labeled with Alexa Fluor®488. Next, 10 μL of a mixture of an anti-6xHis antibody (AbD Serotec; MCA1396; 1:50 dilution) and an Alexa Fluor® 594-labeled goat anti-mouse antibody (Invitrogen; A11005; 1:20 dilution) in PBS was added for the staining of CsgA fibers. After 10 min incubation, slides were washed by flushing 3 times with 5 mL deionized water before examining them using a TE2000-U Nikon microscope.

M2e-peptide ELISA for VHH Detection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
M2e-peptide ELISA was performed as described by De Filette et al.44 (link) Briefly, maxisorp 96-well microtiter plates (Thermo Fisher Scientific) were coated overnight with 100 ng M2e peptide (SLLTEVETPIRNEWGCRCNDSSD, corresponding to M2e of human H3N2 viruses) diluted in 0.1 M carbonate-bicarbonate buffer, pH 9.6. After overnight coating, wells were washed and blocked with 5% milk powder in phosphate buffered saline (PBS). Next, dilution series of the solution containing the VHHs (BALF or supernatant of cell culture) were added to the wells and incubated for 90 min. The bound VHHs were detected with mouse anti-histidine tag antibody (MCA1396, Abd Serotec) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-linked anti-mouse IgG (NXA931, GE Healthcare). Detection was done by adding 50 μL of TMB (Tetramethylbenzidine, BD OptETA) to every well; reactions were stopped by addition of 50 μL of 1M H2SO4. The absorbance was measured at 450 nm with an iMark Microplate Absorbance Reader (Bio Rad) using 655 nm as background measurement.

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.
