The biochemical EC50 of selected clones was determined by serially diluting purified monomeric VNARs in blocking buffer and binding to preblocked 96-well plates coated at 1 μg/ml with hBAFF-Fc. After washing in PBS-0.1% Tween, bound VNARs were detected using a peroxidase-conjugated anti-FLAG antibody (Sigma). The biochemical IC50 of selected clones on all three BAFF receptors was determined by serially diluting purified monomeric VNARs in blocking buffer containing 1 nM hBAFF-Fc in the case of BR3 or 0.5 nM in the case of TACI and BCMA. The pre-blocked proteins were then exposed to 96-well plates coated at 1 μg/ml with extra-cellular domains of BR3, TACI or BCMA. After washing in PBS-0.1% Tween, bound hBAFF was detected using a peroxidase-conjugated anti-human Fc. Absorbance at 450 nm was recorded and EC50/IC50 values were calculated by non-linear regression using GraphPad Prism®.
Peroxidase conjugated anti flag antibody
The Peroxidase-conjugated anti-FLAG antibody is a laboratory reagent used for the detection and identification of proteins tagged with the FLAG peptide epitope. The antibody is conjugated to the enzyme horseradish peroxidase, which allows for colorimetric or chemiluminescent detection of the target protein in various applications, such as Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA).

Screening BAFF-Blocking Antibody Clones
Example 7
Clones blocking the interaction between BAFF and its three receptors were tested for their ability to cross-react with BAFF's closest related protein, APRIL. Clones were grown in a 96 well format, periplasmic fraction was extracted by osmotic shock as previously described and directly used in a binding ELISA. Nunc Maxisorp 96 well plates were coated at 1 μg/mL with either BAFF-Fc (Sino Biological), HSA (Sigma), or APRIL (Sigma) and periplasmic fraction, pre-blocked in PBS-0.1% Tween+2.5% Milk, was exposed to the coated surface. After washing in PBS-0.1% Tween, bound VNARs were detected using a peroxidase-conjugated anti-FLAG antibody (Sigma). Absorbance at 450 nm was recorded using an Envision multiwell reader (Perkin Elmer). As shown in
Competitive Epitope Mapping of Anti-BAFF VNARs
Example 8
In order to group the blocking clones into different categories based on the epitope that each one recognizes on the BAFF proteins, Nunc Maxisorp 96 well plates were coated at 1 μg/mL with recombinant BAFF (Sino biologicals). Clones were grown in a 96 well format and periplasmic fraction was extracted by osmotic shock as previously described. The periplasmic fraction was then pre-blocked in PBS-0.1% Tween+2.5% Milk in the presence of a competitor VNAR-Fc molecule at 2 μM final concentration. Two anti-BAFF VNAR-Fcs were used in this assay (A07, B07) as well as a negative control lysozyme-binding VNAR (5A7). The pre-blocked fraction was then exposed to the coated surface, and after washing in PBS-0.1% Tween, bound VNARs were detected using a peroxidase-conjugated anti-FLAG antibody (Sigma). Absorbance at 450 nm was recorded using an Envision multiwell reader (Perkin Elmer). The results are shown in

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.
