The PCV2a/LG, PCV2b/LN590516, and PCV2d/SD446F16 (106.0 TCID50/mL) were used as virus seeds to inoculate, respectively, freshly digested PK15 cell suspensions (2 × 105 cells/mL) at a multiplicity of infection of 0.5. Viruses were maintained in MEM containing 2% FBS and 3 mM d-glucosamine (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). After incubation at 37 °C for 120 h, the virus was collected from cultured infected cells by three freeze-thaw cycles and then centrifuged at 2500× g for 10 min at 4 °C. The supernatants containing the virus were aliquoted and stored at -80 °C. Virus titers were measured as described previously [28 (link)]. Samples with virus titers not less than 106.0 TCID50/mL were used for virus purification.

Quantification of Chitinase-Released N-Acetylglucosamine

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Morgan–Elson assay was used in order to evaluate the N-acetyl-D-glucosamine released after chitinase treatment, as described previously. For more details see [6 (link),11 (link),12 (link)].
Sample preparation for the ESI-MS analysis was performed by the hydrolysis of organic matrixes obtained after HF-treatment of the biological samples in 6M HCl (24 h at 90 °C). The samples, after HCl hydrolysis were filtrated with a 0.4 micron filter and freeze-dried in order to remove any excess HCl. The standard D-glucosamine as a control was purchased from Sigma (Sigma-Aldrich, Taufkirchen, Germany Both the commercial standard and the prepared sample were dissolved in water before ESI-MS analysis. ESI-MS measurements were performed on an Agilent Technologies 6230 TOF LC/MS spectrometer (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) in line as a detector in the analytical HPLC instrument. Nitrogen was used as the nebulizing and desolation gas.

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.
