Red streptavidin fluorescent beads

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

Red streptavidin-fluorescent beads are a type of lab equipment used for various applications. Streptavidin, a protein derived from the bacterium Streptomyces avidinii, is covalently coupled to fluorescent beads, producing a red-colored product. The core function of these beads is to enable the detection and capture of biotinylated molecules through the high-affinity interaction between streptavidin and biotin.

ADCP was measured as previously described77 (link). Briefly, biotinylated SARS-CoV-2 S stabilized trimer was incubated with red streptavidin-fluorescent beads (Molecular Probes) for 2 h at 37 °C. Ten μl of a 100-fold dilution of beads–protein mixture was incubated for 2 h at 37 °C with 100 μl of monoclonal antibodies diluted at 5 μg ml−1 before addition of THP-1 cells (20,000 cells per well; Millipore). After 19 h incubation at 37 °C, the cells were fixed with 2% formaldehyde solution and fluorescence was evaluated on a LSRII flow cytometer (BD Bioscience). The phagocytic score was calculated by multiplying the percentage of bead-positive cells by the geometric mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of the bead-positive cells and dividing by 104.

SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Phagocytic Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ADCP was measured as previously described (75 (link)). Briefly, biotinylated SARS-CoV-1 or SARS-CoV-2 prefusion-stabilized S trimer was incubated with red streptavidin-fluorescent beads (Molecular Probes) for 2 h at 37 °C. Ten microliters of a 100-fold dilution of beads–protein was incubated for 2 h at 37 °C with 100 μL of 8,100-fold (SARS-CoV-2) or 900-fold (SARS-CoV-1) diluted plasma samples before addition of THP-1 cells (20,000 cells per well; Millipore Sigma). After 19 h incubation at 37 °C, the cells were fixed with 2% formaldehyde solution (Tousimis), and fluorescence was evaluated on an LSRII flow cytometer (BD Bioscience). The phagocytic score was calculated by multiplying the percentage of bead-positive cells by the geometric mean of the fluorescence intensity of bead-positive cells and dividing by 10,000.

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.
