Soluble Gal1 was determined using an in-house Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) as described (34 (link)). In brief, high-binding 96-well microplates (Costar; Corning) were coated with capture Ab (2 μg/mL purified rabbit anti-human Gal1 polyclonal IgG) in 0.1 M sodium carbonate, pH 9.5. After incubation for 18 h at 4 °C, wells were rinsed three times with wash buffer (0.05% Tween-20 in PBS) and incubated for 1 h at room temperature with blocking solution (2% Bovine Serun Albumin (BSA)  in Phosphate buffer saline (PBS)). Samples and standards (100 μL) were diluted in 1% BSA–Tween-20 and incubated for 18 h at 4 °C. Plates were then washed and incubated with 100 ng/mL biotinylated detection Ab (purified rabbit anti-human Gal1 polyclonal IgG) for 1 h. Plates were rinsed three times before adding 0.33 μg/mL HRP-labeled streptavidin (Sigma-Aldrich) for 30 min. After washing, 100 μL 3,3’,5,5’-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) solution (0.1 mg/mL tetramethylbenzidine and 0.06% H2O2 in citrate–phosphate buffer, pH 5.0) was added to plates. The reaction was stopped by adding 2N H2SO4. Optical densities were determined at 450 nm in a Multiskan MS Microplate Reader (Thermo Fisher Scientific). A standard curve ranging from 2.5 to 160 ng/mL human rGal1 was run in parallel.

High-binding 96-well microplates (Costar, Lowell, MA) were coated with the purified HIV-1 HXBc2 Env protein (2 μg/ml) or S. mitis lysate antigens (2 μg/ml) prepared in 0.2 M sodium carbonate/bicarbonate buffer (pH 9.6) and incubated overnight at 4°C. Wells were washed with PBS containing 0.05% Tween-20 (PBS-T) and blocked with 1% BSA in PBS-T for 2 hr. Serum or saliva samples were diluted 1:3 and added at 2- to 3-fold serial dilutions in PBS-T containing 0.1% BSA and plates were incubated for 1 hr at room temperature. After another washing step, horseradish peroxidase, HRP-conjugated rat anti-mouse IgA (clone 11-44-2), IgG1 (clone SB77e) or IgG2a (clone SB84a) (Southern Biotech, Birmingham, AL) was added at 1:4000, 1:5000, 1:5000 dilution, respectively and incubated for 1 hr. A substrate solution containing tetramethylbenzidine (KPL, Gaithersburg, MD) was added and colour development was stopped using 1 m HCl. Optical density data were recorded as absorbance at 450 nm. OD values twice above the background were considered positive and values between 0.01 and 1.0 were used to determine the amount of antibody produced and adjusted according to the dilution factor to determine the OD value of the undiluted saliva and serum samples.

Serum MPO-DNA complex levels of SLE patients and HCs were measured as previously reported18 (link). In brief, high-binding 96-well microplates (Corning) were incubated overnight at 4 °C with a mouse anti-human MPO antibody (clone 4A4; Bio-Rad) diluted in coating buffer (Cell Death Detection ELISA kit; Roche). Following blocking with 1% bovine serum albumin (cat# A2153; Sigma) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), plates were incubated at room temperature with 10% human serum in blocking buffer, washed, and then 10 × anti-DNA-POD (Clone MCA-33, Cell Death Detection ELISA kit; Roche) in blocking buffer was added. After the incubation, TMB substrate (KPL) was added, and absorbance was measured at 450 nm after the addition of the stop reagent (Wako). Serum MPO-DNA complex “high” patients were defined as those whose optical density values were two standard deviations higher the mean of HCs.

Individual colonies of the ninety-six clones selected from the fourth round of biopanning were inoculated into 1 mL of SB containing 50 μg/mL of carbenicillin in 96-deep-well plates (Axygen, Union City, CA, USA) and incubated at 37 °C for 5 h. Subsequently, 1010 pfu of VCSM13 phages (Agilent) were added to the plates and incubated overnight at 37 °C. The plates were centrifuged at 2000× g, and the phage supernatant was used for ELISA.

After blocking using 3% (w/v) BSA in PBS, the plates were incubated with 100 μL of phage supernatant at 37 °C for 2 h. After three rounds of washing with PBS containing 0.05% (v/v) Tween 20 (PBST), horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated anti-hemagglutinin (HA) antibody (1:3000; Bethyl Laboratories, Montgomery, TX, USA) was added and incubated at 37 °C for 1 h. Colorimetric detection was performed using 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) substrate solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). The reaction was terminated by the addition of 1 M H2SO4, and absorbance was measured at 450 nm using a microtiter plate reader (Bio-Tek Instruments, Winooski, VT, USA).

To determine the RVFV Gn- and Gc-specific IgG, IgG1, or IgG2a titer in mice, RVFV Gn or Gc proteins were diluted in carbonate–bicarbonate buffer and coated in the 96-well high-binding microplates (Corning, NY, United States) with 0.2 μg/well at 4°C overnight. The plates were then blocked with PBS containing 2% BSA at 37°C for 1 h. After three rinses with PBST (PBS containing 0.2% Tween-20), serially diluted sera of mice in dilution buffer (PBST containing 0.2% BSA) were incubated with RVFV Gn or Gc proteins coated in the microplates at 37°C for 1 h. After that, the microplates were rinsed three times with PBST and incubated with the secondary antibodies at 37°C for 1 h, which target mouse IgG, IgG1, or IgG2a (Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom). After microplates rinsed three times, the TMB substrate solution (Solarbio, Beijing, China) was added in the microplates for 6 min at room temperature and the reaction was terminated by stop solution (Solarbio, Beijing, China). The optical density (OD) was measured at 450/630 nm (OD450/OD630; SPECTRA, Molecular Device, San Jose, CA, United States). We defined the endpoint titers as the reciprocal of the highest serum dilution, the OD value of which was 2.1-fold higher than that of the negative control.

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.
