Measuring Glutamate Dehydrogenase Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To measure PAG activity, 41 U GDH (Serva Electrophoresis, GmbH; Heidelberg, Germany), dissolved in 50% glycerol, was placed on glass slides and equally distributed by spreading the solution across the glass slide with a coverglass. The glass slides were dried at room temperature in a vacuum (<1-6 bar). Afterwards, 7-µm-thick cryostat tissue sections were cut (for lung tissues, 8-µm-thick sections were cut), captured onto GDH-coated glass slides, and stored at -80C. Before incubation, tissue sections were air dried at room temperature for 30 min.
In order to ensure excess GDH activity and its even spreading over the glass, GDH activity was measured by incubating the GDH films after pouring on top of the films incubation medium containing 18% PVA (Sigma-Aldrich; St. Louis, MO), 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 8.0), 5 mM NitroBT (Sigma-Aldrich), 3 mM NAD+ (Roche Applied Science; Basel, Switzerland), 2 mM ADP (Roche Applied Science), and 0.32 mM PMS (Serva Electrophoresis, GmbH) in the presence of 10 mM glutamate (Merck; Darmstadt, Germany). NitroBT was dissolved by heating NitroBT in a 1:1 solution of 100% ethanol and dimethylformamide with a final concentration of 2% v/v (0.34 M ethanol and 0.26 M dimethylformamide) for each solvent.

NADH coupled microtiter plate assay was performed as described in published protocol [20] (link). ATPase assay time-course was performed with varying proteins concentrations (as indicated in figure legends) up to 180 minutes at 30°C in ATPase buffer (described in [20] (link)) with 1 mM NADH. NADH absorbance decline was measured at 340 nm in 96 well plate using Tecan Infinite M-200 spectrophotometer. ATPase buffer in the absence of proteins was taken as the negative control. ATPase buffer containing 5 mM ADP (Roche) was taken as positive control to verify the activity of coupled reaction.
Radioactive ATPase assay was performed using thin layer chromatography (TLC) with 2 μM each of GST tagged full length wildtype p53 (p53-FL), p53-3C, p53-24, p53-25 or p53-35 incubated with 0.25 μM of 50 nCi/μl [α-32P] ATP (BRIT, Hyderabad, India) in 25 mM Tris–HCl (pH 7.6), 1.8 mM DTT and 13 mM magnesium acetate at 30°C for 30 minutes. The reactions were stopped with 0.2% SDS, heated at 100°C for 3 minutes and spotted on polyethyleneimine sheet (Merck) that was developed in 0.75 M KH2PO4 (pH 3.6). The dried PEI sheet was scanned using Molecular Dynamics Storm 820 PhosphorImager. The percentage of [α-32P] ATP hydrolyzed to [α-32P] ADP was quantified by Image J software.

Human standard citrate plasma (Siemens Healthcare) was freed from residual cellular and subcellular particles by ultracentrifugation and supplemented with 10% rat plasma (GeneTex). Plasma clotting time with or without addition of eosinophils was automatically recorded after recalcification with 20 µl of star-tem (ROTEM; Tem International GmbH) using a ball coagulometer (BC1; SYCOmed) at 37°C. When indicated, eosinophils were stimulated with 40 µM ADP (Roche) or 20 µg/ml collagen (Roche) for 10 min at 37°C before recalcification. Clotting index was calculated as follows: clotting time [sec.]−1 × 100.

Multiplate Impedance Aggregometry for Platelet Function

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Impedance aggregometry was performed with the Multiplate analyzer (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany) as previously described [10 (link)]. After addition of 6.4 μM ADP (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany) to hirudin-anticoagulated blood, the adhesion of activated platelets to the electrodes led to an increase in impedance, which was detected for each sensor unit separately and transformed to aggregation units (AU) that were plotted against time. One AU corresponds to 10 AU ∗ min (area under the curve of AU). Multiple electrode aggregometry (MEA) in response to ADP was available for 293 patients (97.3%) of group 1 and for all patients (100%) of group 2.

Multiplate Platelet Aggregometry Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Hirudin‐anticoagulated blood was analyzed using multiple electrode impedance platelet aggregometry (Multiplate, Diapharma, West Chester, Ohio) 30 minutes after blood collection according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, 300 μL of anticoagulated blood was incubated with 300 μL of 0.9% NaCl for 3 minutes at 37°C with continuous stirring, followed by the addition of 6.5 μM ADP (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) or 0.5 mM arachidonic acid (AA) (Roche, Basel, Switzerland). Each test cell incorporates a duplicate sensor for 2 simultaneous measurements, which served as an internal control. Platelet aggregation was reported as area under the curve over a 6‐minute interval. If the Pearson's correlation coefficient and difference between the 2 measurements were <0.98 or >20%, respectively, the measurements were repeated.

All chemical reagents were of the highest purity commercially available. Millipore MiliQ® water (filtered through a 0.2-μm filter) or Sigma RNase-free water was used in all buffers. ATP (Sigma A7699, ≥ 99% purity assayed by HPLC, ≤ 0.1% inorganic phosphate) and ADP (Roche Molecular Biochemicals) concentrations were determined by absorbance using ε259 of 15,400 M− 1 cm− 1. Polyuridylic acid (polyU RNA) (SC-215733A; Santa Cruz Biotechnology) was dialyzed extensively against distilled deionized water and ethanol precipitated prior to use. RNA concentrations were determined by absorbance using ε260 of 9660 M− 1 cm− 1 and are in units of nucleotides. Mant-labeled nucleotides (2′ and 3′ mixed isomer, mantATP, and mantADP from Invitrogen;mantATP, mant-dATP, and mant-dADP from Jena Biosciences) concentrations were determined by absorbance (ε255 = 23,300 M− 1 cm− 1).

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.
