96 well half area white plate

Manufactured by Corning

The 96-well half-area white plates are a laboratory equipment product designed for use in various scientific applications. These plates feature a 96-well format with a half-area configuration, providing a reduced sample volume requirement compared to standard full-area plates. The white color of the plates is intended to optimize light reflection and signal detection for applications such as fluorescence and luminescence assays. The plates are made of high-quality materials to ensure durability and consistent performance in the laboratory setting.

After removal of culture medium, cells were frozen at −80 °C to ensure efficient cell disruption. Cells were lysed in 100 µl of lysis buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, 10% glycerol, 0.1% Triton X-100, 1 mM PMSF, 0.1% β-mercaptoethanol, pH 8.0) for 30 min at room temperature on swinging platform shaker. Luciferase assay was performed in 96-well half-area white plates (Costar) by mixing 10 μl of cell lysate with 20 μl of firefly luciferase substrate (Nanolight Technology). Bioluminescence was measured immediately with a Victor X3 multilabel plate reader (Perkin Elmer), and data were analyzed with an OriginPro 8.6 software.

Light-Controlled Gene Expression Activation

For light-controlled transcription activation, cells were cotransfected with the constructs pQP-T2A[11 (link)] (Addgene #102583) and pFR-Luc (Agilent Technologies) in a 3:1 ratio in 24-well plates (Greiner Bio-One). Illumination of plates was applied directly in CO2 incubator with 740/25 nm light (0.2 mW cm−2) in alternating cycles: 30 s light and 180 s darkness. To measure Fluc activity, transfected cells were lysed 48 h after transfection. Cells were washed with PBS, and then 100 μl of lysis buffer (20 mM Tris–HCl pH 8.0, 10% glycerol, 0.1% β-mercaptoethanol, 0.1% Triton X-100, 1 mM PMSF) was added to each well of 24-well plate and incubated on ice for 30 min. 10 μl of cell lysates were mixed with 20 μl of Firefly Luc Assay reagent (NanoLight Technology) in 96-well half-area white plates (Costar). Bioluminescence signal was measured using a Victor X3 multilabel plate reader (PerkinElmer).

SARS-CoV-2 Spike Pseudovirus Neutralization Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Convalescent serum from COVID-19 patients or healthy donors (collected before 30 April 2020) was obtained from Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Convalescent sera were confirmed to be positive for IgG class antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 Spike using anti-SARS-CoV-2 ELISA (IgG) (Euroimmun, Lübeck, Germany) (78 ).
A suitable dose of Spike-pseudotyped VSV-Luc vectors was used in the neutralization assays to produce approximately 105 relative light units (RLU) of luciferase activity on HeLa-ACE2 cells in the absence of serum. A total of 5 × 103 HeLa-ACE2 cells were seeded in tissue culture-treated, 96-well half-area white plates (Corning) to achieve 50% to 75% confluence the following day. Convalescent or control sera were 3-fold serially diluted from 1:10 to 1:7,290, and 50 μl was incubated with the predetermined dose of the VSV-Luc vectors for 30 min at 37°C before addition of the mixture to HeLa-ACE2 cells. Cells were incubated at 37°C overnight for 16 to 24 h. Vector transduction efficiency was quantified by measuring luciferase activity as described above and neutralization (%) calculated by normalization to the values obtained on cells transduced without serum.

Antigen-Dependent Transcriptional Activation Assay

For an antigen-dependent GAL4 stabilization, HeLa cells were co-transfected with plasmids encoding NIR-FbGFP–GAL4 or biNIR-FbGFP–GAL4, reporter plasmid pUAS-Gluc (5x UAS), and with either EGFP or mTagBFP in a 1:10:89 ratio. HeLa cells were co-transfected with plasmids encoding ALFA-tagged GAL4-VP16, reporter plasmid pUAS-Gluc (5x UAS), NIR-FbGFP–NbALFA or biNIR-FbGFP–NbALFA, and with either EGFP or mTagBFP2 in the 1:10:44.5:44.5 ratio. As controls, cells transfected with reporter plasmid pUAS-Gluc and with or without ALFA-tagged GAL4-VP16 were used. To measure Gluc activity, the co-transfected HeLa cells were grown in 24-well plates. 10 h after the transfection mixture was removed, a fresh growth medium was added, and cells were incubated for 48 h. Then, 5 μl of culture media was mixed with 100 μl of 2 μM coelenterazine (Invitrogen/Thermo Fisher Scientific) in PBS in wells of a 96-well half-area white plate (Costar). Bioluminescence was measured using a Victor X3 multilabel plate reader (PerkinElmer).

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.
