Transglucosylation Product Analysis via HPLC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Transglucosylation products were analyzed using HPLC under the following conditions. For the degree of polymerization (DP) analysis, the HPLC system was used with an MCI GEL CK04S column (Mitsubishi Chemical, Japan) at 65 °C and a refractive index detector. To determine the DP of each peak, analysis was carried out in the same manner as in the DP analysis except that ELSD and LC MS were connected in parallel as detectors. The transglucosylation products were eluted using distilled water at a flow rate of 0.35 mL/min. For the structural isomer analysis, the HPLC system was used with a Unison UK-Amino (Imtact, Japan) column at 50 °C and a NQAD detector. The transglucosylation products were separated with a linear gradient under the following conditions; initial ratio of acetonitrile/water at 88 % and a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min, then decreased to 81 % for 30 min, then held at 81 % for 35 min, then decreased to 60 %, then held at 60 % for 10 min, and then increased back to 88 %. The fractionation of transglucosylation products were carried out using HPLC under the following conditions. The HPLC system was used with a Bio-Gel P2 (Bio-Rad) column at 60 °C and a refractive index detector. The transglucosylation products were eluted using distilled water at a flow rate of 9 mL/min.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
20 µg of purified IgG were denatured and treated with PNGase enzyme (NEB) to release N-linked glycans. Proteins were precipitated in ice-cold ethanol, and the glycan-containing supernatants were dried in a Centrivap. Dried glycans were fluorescently labeled with a 1:1 ratio of 50 mM APTS (8-aminoinopyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid; Life Technologies) in 1.2 M citric acid and 1 M sodium cyanoborohydride in tetrahydrofuran (Sigma-Aldrich) at 55 °C for 2 h. Labeled glycans were dissolved in ultrapure water, and excess unbound APTS was removed using Bio-Gel P-2 (Bio-Rad) size-exclusion columns. Samples were run with a LIZ 600 DNA ladder in Hi-Di formamide (Life Technologies) on an ABI 3130Xl DNA sequencer. Data was analyzed using GeneMapper software, and peaks were assigned on the basis of the migration of known standards and glycan digests. Peak area was calculated and used to determine the relative percentage of each glycan structure.

Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) fed with the PST-producing dinoflagellate Alexandrium pacificum (strain ATHK) in the laboratory were extracted as described in Qiu et al [8 (link)]. A flow diagram on the semipurification of M-toxins is shown in Figure S1. Extracts were lyophilized, dissolved in 0.1 M AcOH and then applied to 1.5 cm ID × 115 cm or 170 cm Bio-Gel P-2 (45–90 μm, Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) columns eluted with 0.1 M AcOH at a flow rate of 0.25 mL min-1. Fractions (1 mL) were collected with an automatic fraction collector and analyzed by LC-MS. Fractions containing M1, M3, M5 and M9 were combined and/or re-fractionated as above, as required. Fractions containing predominantly M2, M4, M6 and decarbamoyl M-toxins were lyophilized and dissolved in 10 mM ammonium bicarbonate (NH4HCO3), applied to a 1.5 cm ID × 170 cm Bio-Gel P2 column and eluted with 10 mM NH4HCO3 as above. Fractions from all isolation steps were combined into five separate solutions based on their M-toxin composition, as shown in Figure S2. Solution 6 contained predominantly dcM6 isolated as part of a previous project [7 ]. All solutions obtained were lyophilized and re-dissolved in 0.1 M AcOH prior to analysis.

Enoxaparins (80 mg of each), dissolved
in 0.8 mL of distilled water, were applied to a column (2.0 m x 1.0
cm) of Bio-Gel P-10 (90–180 μm mesh, BioRad, Herculs,
CA, USA), eluted with a 10% ethanol:1.0 M NaCl solution (1:1, v/v),
at a flow rate of 4 mL h–1. Fractions were collected
each 15 min and checked for absorbance at 232 nm. The fractions containing
the oligosaccharides were pooled, lyophilized, and dissolved in distilled
water. Thereafter, the fractions were desalting using a Bio-Gel P-2

Spent media at the stationary phase (A600 nm of ∼1.0) of B. thetaiotaomicron ΔBT1017 grown on CEAJ (50 ml) were centrifuged twice at 4000 × g for 6 min. The presence of sugars in the supernatants was confirmed by TLC as described above. Supernatants were filtered through a 0.2-μm syringe cap filter (PALL Life Sciences) and concentrated by freeze-drying using a CHRIST Gefriertrocknung ALPHA 1-2 freeze-dryer (Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin) at −50°C to reduce the sample volume (to 20 ml). Sugars in supernatant were separated on a Bio-Gel P2 (Bio-Rad) size-exclusion system equilibrated in 5 mm acetic acid at a flow rate 0.6 ml min−1. Fractions (8 ml) were collected and analyzed by TLC. Fractions of interest were pooled and concentrated by freeze-drying and stored at room temperature until use.

Each organ (muscles, gonads and liver) was homogenized separately with 1 volume of 1% acetic acid solution. Each homogenate was centrifuged at 4500 rpm for 15 min and the supernatant was collected and washed twice with the same volume of 1% acetic acid. Each combined extract was concentrated separately under reduced pressure and defatted with CH2Cl2. The aqueous layer obtained was concentrated, adjusted to pH 4~5 with 1 N NaOH solution, and then treated with activated charcoal. The adsorbed toxin was eluted with 3 volumes of 1% acetic acid in 20% ethanol and the eluted sample was combined and evaporated under vacuum pump. Further purification was carried out in according to the methods of Kotaki et al. (16 (link)), by gel filtration using a column (2.4 × 120 cm2) packed with Bio-Gel P-2 (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Richmond, CA, USA). Elution of the toxin was carried out with 0.03 N acetic acid at a flow rate of 60 mL/hr; then the toxicity of collecting fractions was determined by the bioassay.

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.
