Western blotting was performed using standard protocol [12 (link), 18 (link)]. OMPs were resolved via SDS-PAGE and electroblotted from the gel to a 0.45 μm pore size nitrocellulose membrane by electrophoretic transfer using Bio-Rad Transblot apparatus (Bio-Rad Laboratories, USA). The electroblotting condition was set at 100 V for 4 hours according to the manufacturer’s instruction. The nitrocellulose membrane was then blocked with 3% skim milk for 30 min at room temperature to block the non-specific protein binding sites. The blocked nitrocellulose membranes were cut into strips and incubated overnight with 1:100 dilutions of human serum as the primary antibody. Sera used in this study as follows: from patients positive for S. sonnei infection; and patients from other enteric infections due to Salmonella spp., Aeromonas hydrophila, EPEC, Salmonella Typhi and Campylobacter jejuni. After primary antibody incubation, the strips were washed with PBS-T (0.05% Tween 20) 6 times for 10 minute each. It was then incubated with rabbit anti-human IgA and IgG (Sigma, USA) conjugated with alkaline phosphatase for 2 hours at room temperature with constant shaking. The strips were washed with PBS-T as above and then developed with AP-conjugated substrate for 30 minute. The enzyme reaction was stopped by rinsing the strips with distilled water.

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.
