Fluosphere neutravidin conjugated beads

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

FluoSphere™ NeutrAvidin™-conjugated beads are fluorescent polymer microspheres conjugated with NeutrAvidin, a deglycosylated form of avidin. These beads can be used for a variety of bioassay applications that require specific and reversible binding to biotinylated molecules.

ADCD was conducted as previously described.82 (link) Briefly, NVX-CoV2373 Spike protein was biotinylated using EZ-link™Sulfo-NHS-LC-LC-Biotin (Thermo Fisher), and then coupled to red FluoSphere™ NeutrAvidin™-conjugated beads (Thermo Fisher). Immune complexes were formed by incubating the bead+protein conjugates with diluted serum (ADCD 1:10 dilution) for 2 h at 37°C, and then washed to remove unbound antibody. The immune complexes were then incubated with lyophilized guinea pig complement (Cedarlane) and diluted in gelatin veronal buffer with calcium and magnesium (Boston Bioproducts) for 30 min. C3 bound to immune complexes was detected by fluorescein-conjugated goat IgG fraction to guinea pig Complement C3 (MP Biomedicals). Flow cytometry was performed to identify the percentage of beads with bound C3. Flow cytometry was performed with an IQue (Intellicyt) and analysis was performed on IntelliCyt ForeCyt (v8.1) (Figure S1).

ADCP and ADNP Antibody Assays for NVX-CoV2373

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ADCP and ADNP were conducted as previously described.80 (link),81 (link) Briefly, NVX-CoV2373 Spike protein was biotinylated using EZ-link™Sulfo-NHS-LC-LC-Biotin (Thermo Fisher), and then coupled to yellow/green FluoSphere™ NeutrAvidin™-conjugated beads (Thermo Fisher, F8776). Immune complexes were formed by incubating the bead+protein conjugates with diluted serum (ADNP 1:50 dilution, ADCP 1:100 dilution) for 2 h at 37°C, and then washed to remove unbound antibody. The immune complexes were then incubated overnight with THP-1 cells (ADCP), or for 1 h with RBC-lysed whole blood (ADNP). THP-1 cells were then washed and fixed in 4% PFA, while the RBC-lysed whole blood was washed, stained for CD66b+ (Biolegend) to identify neutrophils, and then fixed in 4% PFA. Flow cytometry was performed to identify the percentage of quantity of beads phagocytosed by THP-1 cells or neutrophils, and a phagocytosis score was calculated (% cells positive × Median Fluorescent Intensity of positive cells). Flow cytometry was performed with an iQue (IntelliCyt) or LSRII(BD) and analysis was performed using IntelliCyt ForeCyt (v8.1) or FlowJo V10.7.1 (Figure S1).

Antibody-Dependent Cellular Phagocytosis and Antibody-Dependent Neutrophil Phagocytosis Assays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ADCP and ADNP were conducted as previously described [80 (link),81 (link)]. Briefly, spike or RBD proteins were biotinylated using EDC (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and EZ-link Sulfo-NHS-LC-LC (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and then coupled to yellow/green and then coupled to yellow/green FluoSphere NeutrAvidin-conjugated beads (Thermo Fisher Scientific, F8776). Immune complexes were formed by incubating the bead+protein conjugates with diluted serum (ADNP 1:50 dilution, ADCP 1:100 dilution) for 2 hours at 37°C and then washed to remove unbound antibody. The immune complexes were then incubated overnight with THP-1 cells (ADCP), or for 1 hour with RBC-lyzed whole blood (ADNP). THP-1 cells were then washed and fixed in 4% PFA, while the RBC-lyzed whole blood was washed, stained for CD66b Pacific Blue (BioLegend - San Diego, California, USA), CD3-AlexaFluro700 (BD Biosciences - Miami, Florida, USA), and CD14-APC-Cy7 (BD Biosciences) to identify neutrophils (CD3- CD14- CD66b+) and then fixed in 4% PFA. Flow cytometry was performed to identify the percentage of quantity of beads phagocytosed by THP-1 cells or neutrophils, and a phagocytosis score was calculated (% cells positive × median fluorescent intensity of positive cells). Flow cytometry was performed with an LSRII (BD), and analysis was performed using FlowJo V10.7.1.

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.
