96-well polystyrene ELISA plates (Nunc) were coated with LCMV clone 13-infected BHK-21 cell lysate overnight at room temperature. After blocking with PBS supplemented with 10% FCS, 0.2% Tween 20, and 0.5 mM thimerosal, three-fold serial dilutions of serum samples were incubated for 90 min at room temperature. Plates were washed with PBS supplemented with 0.5% Tween 20 and incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled goat anti-mouse IgGγ, IgG1, IgG2b, IgG2c, and IgG3 antibodies (SouthernBiotech). After washing, plates were incubated with stabilized hydrogen peroxide and tetramethylbenzidine (Substrate Reagent Pack; R&D systems) according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and the reaction was stopped by adding 2N H2SO4. Optical density (OD) values at 450 nm were determined using a microplate reader (Molecular Devices).

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.
