NP-Specific ELISA and ELISpot Assays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Assays were done in Millipore Multi-Screen HA filtration 96-well plates (no. MSIPN4W). IgM, IgG1, and IgG3 coating Abs were the same as for ELISA. Secondary Abs were purchased from Vector Laboratories for detecting IgM (no. BA-2020) and IgG (no. BA-9200), followed by HRP-Avidin D (no. A-2004; Vector Laboratories). For NP-specific assays, plates were coated with NP(>20)-BSA (no. N-5050H-10; Biosearch Technologies). PBS plus 2% BSA was used as blocking buffer, ELISpot AEC substrate (no. 551951; BD Biosciences) was used to develop. Plates were scanned on a CTL ImmunoSpot S6 Entry instrument and analyzed using CTL ImmunoSpot software, version 7.0.9.5. All samples were done over a 12-step dilution series. Plotted spots per 106 cells were determined by averaging spots per 106 cells over a minimum of three different dilutions, with attention paid to using wells within the linear range. Counting parameters were held constant across all plates of the same assay type. Quality control of automated counting was performed on every plate by visual inspection.

Millipore Multiscreen-HA 96-well plates (Millipore #MAHA N4510) were coated with anti-mouse IgG, IgA, IgM (Rockland) diluted to 5 μg/mL in PBS and incubated overnight at 4°C. Plates were then washed with PBST (1X PBS, 0.05% Tween 20) and PBS (1X, Life Technologies) (1x PBST, 3x PBS washes) and blocked by 2 hr incubation at 37°C with cIMDM. Media was then replaced with fresh cIMDM, and counted cells from spleens, MLN, and PP were added. Plates were incubated overnight at 37°C and, following washes (4x PBS, 4x PBST), biotin-conjugated anti-mouse IgG and IgA antibodies (Southern Biotech) were added at a concentration of 0.5 μg/mL diluted in PBST 1% FCS and incubated overnight at 4°C. Plates were washed (4x PBST) before incubation with a 1:1000 dilution of HRP avidin D (Vector Laboratories) in supplemented PBS (1X PBS, 0.05% Tween 20, 1% FCS) for 1–3 hr at room temperature. After washes (3x PBST, 3x PBS), AEC substrate (0.3mg 3-amino-9-ethylcarbazole in 0.1 M Na-Acetate buffer, pH 5, 0.3% hydrogen peroxide) was added and color reactions were allowed to proceed for 2–10 minutes before washing with distilled water. Plates were kept in the dark to dry until read and counted with the aid of a CTL ImmunoSpot 5.1.36 analyzer.

BG505-specific Ab-secreting cells (ASCs) were detected by Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSpot (ELISPOT) assay on fresh cells from blood, obtained 5 days after the second immunization. 96-well multi-screen HTS HA filter plates, opaque (Millipore) were coated with 20 μg/mL of unconjugated Galanthus nivalis lectin (Vector labs) to capture antigen. Plates were coated overnight, washed, and blocked with complete RPMI medium at 37°C. 20 μg/mL of BG505 SOSIP.664 protein (laboratory of J.P. Moore, Cornell University) was added and incubated 1 hr at 37°C. All washes for GNL-BG505 plates were performed with PBS only. Plates were washed, mononuclear cells were plated in 3-fold serial dilutions, and incubated overnight 37°C. Plates were washed and incubated for 2 hr at RT with anti-monkey biotin conjugated IgG (Rockland) diluted at 1/1,000 in PBS with 1% FBS solution. Plates were washed and HRP avidin D (Vector labs) was added at 1/1,000 dilution and incubated for 2 hr at RT. The last wash was performed with PBS-T followed by PBS. An AEC Substrate Set (BD Biosciences) was used to develop spots. Plates were scanned and counted at Zellnet Consulting using the Immunospot CTL image acquisition (Cellular Technologies). Spots are reported as antigen-specific ASCs per million mononuclear cells.

Purified recombinant shrimp allergens diluted in coating buffer (100 mM Na2CO3, 100 mM NaHCO3, pH 9.6) were coated onto MaxiSorp microtiter plates (Nunc, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and incubated overnight at 4°C. After washing the plates with 0.05% Tween‐20/PBS (PBS‐T) and blocking the plates with 5% foetal bovine serum (Gibco, Thermo Fisher Scientific) diluted in PBS (blocking buffer) at room temperature for 2 h, serum samples diluted at 1:10 in blocking buffer were added for overnight incubation at 4°C. IgE binding was detected by incubating the plates with biotinylated anti‐human IgE antibodies (1:1000 dilution, Vector Labs, Burlingame, CA, USA), HRP avidin D (1:1000 dilution, Vector Labs) and TMB substrate (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). Upon terminating the reaction with 0.1 M sulfuric acid, the optical density (OD) at 450 nm was measured using a microplate reader (BioTek, Santa Clara, CA, USA).21 Results were considered positive only at OD >2 fold ± SD over negative controls (sera of ten non‐atopic control subjects).

Immunohistochemical staining for α-synuclein, glucocerebrosidase, DAT and TH was performed in serially sectioned, free-floating vibratome sections. The sections were incubated overnight at 4°C with a polyclonal antibody against total α-synuclein (1:500, affinity-purified rabbit polyclonal antibody; Millipore) (71 (link)), glucocerebrosidase (mouse monoclonal antibody; Abnova, Walnut, CA), TH (mouse monoclonal antibody; Millipore, Billerica, MA) or DAT (mouse monoclonal antibody; Millipore, Billerica, MA) followed by a secondary biotinylated antibody (1:100, Vector Laboratories, Inc., Burlingame, CA) and Avidin D-HRP (1:200, ABC Elite, Vector). Detection was performed with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (72 (link)). A subset of sections that were immunostained with the α-synuclein antibody was subjected to proteinase K pre-treatment (8 min, 10 µg/ml). All sections were processed simultaneously using the same conditions. Immunostained slides were analyzed with a digital Olympus bright field digital microscope (BX41). For each animal, a total of three sections (four digital images per section at 400× magnification) were obtained from the striatum and analyzed as previously described with the ImageJ program (NIH) (71 (link)).

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.
