SARS-CoV-2 mouse/rabbit Fc-tagged RBDs (final concentration 20 ng/ml) were incubated with serially diluted recombinant mAbs (from 25 µg/ml) and incubated for 1 h 37°C. The complex RBD:mAbs was then added to a pre-coated hACE2 (2 µg/ml in PBS) 96-well plate MaxiSorp (Nunc) and incubated 1 hour at room temperature. Subsequently, the plates were washed, and a goat anti-mouse/rabbit IgG (Southern Biotech) coupled to alkaline phosphatase (Jackson Immunoresearch) added to detect mouse Fc-tagged RBDs binding. After further washing, the substrate (p-NPP, Sigma) was added, and plates read at 405 nm using a microplate reader (Biotek). The percentage of inhibition was calculated as follow: (1-((OD sample-OD neg ctr)/(OD pos. ctr-OD neg. ctr))*100

The TSP concentration was determined using a microtiter plate version of the Bradford method (Buyel and Fischer, 2014 (link)), and the protein composition was analyzed by lithium dodecylsulfate (LDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) followed by gel staining with Coomassie Brilliant Blue (Menzel et al., 2016 (link)). DFE was quantified by fluorescence spectroscopy against DsRed standards (Buyel and Fischer, 2012 (link)). Briefly, DsRed fluorescence in the clarified extracts was measured using a Synergy HT microplate reader (BioTek Instruments, Winooski, Vermont, USA) fitted with 530/25 (excitation) and 590/35 (emission) nm filter sets. A standard curve was prepared with DsRed dilutions in the range 0–225 mg L−1, and the protein accumulation level per gram wet biomass was calculated as described elsewhere (Gengenbach et al., 2018 (link)). The presence of the C-terminal 2F5-epitope (ELDKWA) and His6 tag was confirmed by immunoblotting using an in-house preparation of the human monoclonal antibody 2F5 (Rühl et al., 2018 (link)) and a monoclonal rabbit anti-His6 antibody (BioVision, Milpitas, California, USA), respectively. These primary antibodies were detected using polyclonal goat-anti-human and goat-anti-rabbit immunoglobulin secondary antibodies, respectively, each conjugated to alkaline phosphatase (Jackson ImmunoResearch, Cambridge, UK).

After blocking, the blots were incubated with MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-2, or β-actin antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom) (dilution 1:1000) in 5% non-fat skimmed milk (using β-actin as a loading control). After the blots were washed, they were incubated with secondary antibodies conjugated with alkaline phosphatase (dilution 1:3000) (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories Inc., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). Immunoblots were developed using bromochloroindolyl phosphate/nitroblue tetrazolium solution (Kirkegaard and Perry Laboratories Inc., Baltimore, Maryland).

Anti-C-terminal ERK1 antibody (C16) was purchased from Santa Cruz. Polyclonal antibodies to human StAR were raised in rabbit [16 (link)]. Alkaline phosphatase, horseradish peroxidase and flourescein conjugated secondary antibodies were purchased from Jackson ImmunoResearch laboratories Inc. (West Grove, Pennsylvania). PD98059 and U0126 were purchased from Calbiochem (San Diego). H89, Forskolin, 8-Br-cAMP were obtained from Sigma (St. Louis).

The peptides were synthesized based on the amino acid sequence of VP1 from PPV NADL-2 strain (GenBank, accession no. NC 001718) with 12 overlapping peptides and an offset of four peptides. The membrane used for spot synthesis was prepared with Fmoc (9-flurorenylmethoxycarbonyl) chemistry [23 , 24 (link)] on a PEG-derived cellulose membrane with the addition of a C-terminal anchor of β-Ala residues and hexadecapeptides at the N-terminal. All serum samples from D0, D28, D58 and D72 (representing, respectively, the basal serum condition prior to any intervention, the antibody response against the vaccine, the challenge with the reference strain and 21 days after the challenge) were screened for antibodies. An anti-swine IgG-Fc secondary antibody conjugated with alkaline phosphatase (Jackson ImmunoResearch Europe Ltd.) was used to assess epitope recognition in the peptide arrays and downstream procedures were done as previously described [24 (link)]. The membrane was subsequently scanned at 1200 d.p.i. with a Print Scan Copier (HP Photosmart) and the software package “Totallab Quant-Array Analysis” was used to quantify the spots based on the intensity of the reaction relative to the background intensity. Signal below the arbitrary threshold of 0.2 were considered negative.

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.
