20μl of ectodomains (stabilized prefusion trimer) of SARS-CoV-2 or SARS-CoV, or the disulphide stabilized SARS-CoV-2 or SARS-CoV, were coated on 384 well ELISA plates at 1 ng/μl for 16 hours at 4°C. Plates were washed with a 405 TS Microplate Washer (BioTek Instruments) then blocked with 80 μl SuperBlock (PBS) Blocking Buffer (Thermo Scientific) for 1 hour at 37°C. Plates were then washed and 30 μl antibodies were added to the plates at concentrations between 4 × 10−8 and 10 ng/μl and incubated for 1 h at 37°C. Plates were washed and then incubated with 30 μl of 1/5000 diluted goat anti-human Fc IgG-HRP (invitrogen A18817). Plates were washed and then 30 μl Substrate TMB microwell peroxidase (Seracare 5120–0083) was added for 5 min at room temperature. The colorimetric reaction was stopped by addition of 30 μl of 1 N HCl. A450 was read on a Varioskan Lux plate reader (Thermo Scientific).

384-well Maxisorp plates (Thermo Fisher) were coated overnight at room temperature with 3 μg/mL in 20mM Tris pH 8 and 150mM NaCl of SARS-CoV-2 S2P (Pallenson et al 2017) or SARS-CoV-2 A222V-D614G S2P, produced as previously described in Walls et al. (2020) (link). Briefly, Expi293F cells were transiently transcribed with a plasmid containing the spike protein and supernatant was clarified six days later prior to Ni Sepharose resin purification and flash freezing. Plates were slapped dry and blocked with Blocker Casein in TBS (Thermo Fisher) for one hour at 37°C. Plates were slapped dry and S2E12 (Tortorici et al., 2020 ) or S309 (Pinto et al., 2020 (link)) antibodies were serially diluted 1:3 with a starting concentration of 1000nM in TBST or NIBSC human plasma (20/130 https://www.nibsc.org/documents/ifu/20-130.pdf) was serially diluted 1:3 starting at 1:4 of original concentration in TBST and added to the plate for one hour at 37°C. Plates were washed 4x with TBST using a 405 TS Microplate Washer (BioTek) followed by addition of 1:5,000 goat anti-human Fc IgGHRP (Thermo Fisher) for one hour at 37°C. Plates were washed 4x and TMB Microwell Peroxidase (Seracare) was added. The reaction was quenched after 1–2 minutes with 1 N HCl and the A450 of each well was read using a Varioskan Lux plate reader (Thermo Fisher).

We used a slightly modified protocol of biofilm formation and XTT [2,3-bis-(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide] analysis, as described previously (48 (link), 49 (link)). Briefly, 5-ml cultures were grown overnight in YNB with 2% glucose at 30°C, pelleted, washed in 1× PBS, and resuspended in 1× PBS. Cells were counted on a hemocytometer, diluted to 107 cells/ml in the appropriate medium, and plated in 100-μl volumes in 96-μl polystyrene plates (avoiding edge wells). Sterile medium was plated as a negative control. Plates were incubated for 48 h at 37°C to allow for adherence and biofilm maturation. Plates were then washed three times with 200 μl of 1× PBS–0.05% Tween 20 using a BioTek 405 TS microplate washer set to an intermediate flow rate. To determine the relative levels of cells that remained after washing, we used an XTT reduction assay to quantitate metabolic activity as a proxy for viable cell density. After plate washing, 100 μl of a solution containing 0.5g/liter XTT (catalog no. X6493; Fisher) and 4 μM menadione (catalog no. 58-27-5; Sigma) in acetone in 1× PBS was added to each well. menadione was added to fresh XTT solution immediately prior to addition of the solution to a plate. Plates were incubated for 5 h before aliquots of 80 μl of supernatant were moved to a new plate for absorbance reading at 490 nm.

Immunoassays were performed in 96-well
plates (Greiner Bio-One, 655096). For each sample to be measured,
1 × 106 beads diluted in 10 μL of Homebrew Sample
Diluent (Quanterix) were added to 100 μL of sample diluted in
Homebrew Sample Diluent. The plate was sealed and shaken at room temperature
for 1 h before washing three times with System Wash Buffer 1 (Quanterix)
using a BioTek 405 TS Microplate Washer. The beads were then resuspended
in 100 μL of detector antibody-DNA conjugate (0.6 μg/mL
diluted in Homebrew Sample Diluent) and shaken at room temperature
for 15 min. After washing 10 times with System Wash Buffer 1, the
beads were transferred to a new 96-well plate and resuspended in 60
μL of RCA reaction mix consisting of 1 U/μL phi29, 0.2
U/μL AluI, 1 mM dNTP, 0.05% Tween-20, and 1× NEBuffer 4.
The plate was shaken at 37 °C for 1.5 h, and the RCA reaction
was quenched by adding 6 μL of 500 mM EDTA before nanopore measurements
of the supernatant.

Peptide arrays were rehydrated by soaking in distilled water for 20 min. Rehydrated arrays were sprayed three times briefly with 90% isopropanol (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) ensuring full coverage, centrifuged to remove excess liquid, and then loaded into a peptide array cassette. Each sample was diluted 1:625 in mannitol buffer (1% mannitol in PBSTP), and then 90 μl of the diluted sample was transferred to the cassette. To facilitate antibody-peptide binding, the mixture was incubated on the arrays for 1 h at 37°C while shaking on a TeleShake95 shaker (INHECO, Martinsried, Germany). Subsequently, the cassette was washed 10 times in PBSTP with a BioTek 405TS microplate washer (BioTek Instruments, Winooski, VT, USA). Bound antibody was detected by adding 4 nM goat anti-human IgG (H+L) secondary antibody coupled to AlexaFluor 555 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) in secondary incubation buffer [0.75% casein (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) in PBSTP] for 1 h at 37°C shaking on a TeleShake95 shaker. After incubation with the secondary antibody, the peptide arrays were again washed with PBSTP, followed by a rinse in distilled water. After being removed from the cassette, the peptide arrays were sprayed with 90% isopropanol and excess liquid was removed by centrifugation at 3000 RPM for 60 s.

Cerebrospinal uid levels of p-tau (Ser 181) and p-tau (Thr 205) were determined using a Singulex Erenna immunoassay platform (USA) (Hastings et al. 2017 ). HT7 was adopted as capture antibody. AT270 and AT8 which separately recognized p-tau (Ser 181) and p-tau (Thr 205) served as detection antibodies. In the process, the measurement was performed in the presence of HaltR Protease and Phosphatase Inhibitor Cocktail (Thermo Fisher). Brie y, in 96-well plate, each well contained 10 mg capture beads, 50 μl Singulex assay buffer and 50 μl cerebrospinal uids (or standard peptide), which was diluted in PBS-T (0.2% Tween 20 in PBS). The plate was incubated at 25℃ for 4 hours, and was washed using a Biotek 405 TM TS microplate washer. Then, 20 μl AT270 or AT8 antibody (50 ng/ml) was added into the plate, and was incubated and shaken overnight at 25℃.

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.
