Example 3

HEK 293 cells and FreeStyle™ 293 Expression Medium (Invitrogen, USA) were used for recombinant antibody production. Transient transfection was done according to the manufacturer's instruction (Invitrogen, USA). To purify antibodies, the culture supernatant was applied to Pierce protein G agarose resin (ThermoFisher, USA) and were dialyzed against PBS. Purified antibody was analyzed by SDS-PAGE on 4-12% Bolt Bis-Tris plus gel (Invitrogen, USA) under reducing or non-reducing condition, and visualized by Coomassie brilliant blue staining (Invitrogen, USA).

Results from FIG. 1 showed all IgG4-reformatted anti-CD47 antibodies were properly expressed and formed. And also, greater than 90% purity of each individual antibody was obtained using Protein-G chromatography.

All human monoclonal antibodies were labeled with the IRDye 800 CW protein labeling kit following the manufacturer’s instructions (Microscale, Invitrogen). Briefly, the pH level was adjusted to 8.5 by adding 1 M potassium phosphate buffer to 200 µl of antibody solution (1 mg/ml of IgG in PBS). 1.4 µl of dissolved dye was added to the antibody solution and the mixture was incubated for 2 h at room temperature. Subsequently, free dye was removed using Zeba Spin Desalting columns according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Centrifuge columns were washed in PBS three times, and excess wash solution was removed by dry spin at 1,500 g. The columns were placed in a new collection tube and 100 µl of the sample was applied to each column. The tube was centrifuged at 1,500 g for 2 min to collect the sample. Integrity of labeled antibodies was confirmed using a non-reducing 12% Bis-Tris Protein Gel (NuPage, Invitrogen) according to manufacturer’s instruction. Gel was stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue Staining (Invitrogen).
To confirm intensity of labeling, dot blots were performed with serial dilutions of infrared labeled antibodies, on a nitrocellulose membrane (Biorad, 0.45 µm), drying the membrane and scanning for signal intensity. Starting dilution was 20 µg/ml of infrared labeled antibody. Membrane analysis was performed using the Odysey infrared imaging system (LICOR).

Reducing SDS PAGE and Western blot analyses were performed as described previously (Perner et al., 2016 ). Briefly, B. divergens lysates were analysed by SDS-PAGE using the NuPAGE 4–12% Bis-Tris Protein Gels and visualization by Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining (Thermofisher). For Western blot the unstained SDS PAGE gel loads were electro blotted to a PVDF (polyvinylidene difluoride) membrane using the Trans-Blot Turbo system (BioRad, USA). The membrane was blocked in 3% (w/v) non-fat skimmed milk in 1 × PBS with 0.05% Tween 20 (PBS-T; Sigma-Aldrich, USA). For immunostaining the membrane was first exposed to Anti-Ubiquitin K48 Linkage antibodies (Boston Biochem, USA) diluted by 1:2000 in PBS-T, washed (3 × 5 min) in PBS-T, and subsequently exposed to the goat anti-rabbit IgG-peroxidase secondary antibody (Sigma) diluted by 1: 2000 in PBS-T. After the final wash (4 × 5 min in PBS-T) the membrane was developed using the ClarityWestern ECL substrate (BioRad, USA), visualized in the ChemiDoc MP imager and analysed using Image Lab Software (BioRad, USA).

HEK293T cells were transfected with 3xFLAG tagged DAPK1, LRRK1, LRRK2, MASL1, or GFP plasmids using PEI reagent, collected 24 h after transfection and cells were lysed in the buffer: 20 mM Tris (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1% Triton, 10% Glycerol, protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche), and 1x Halt phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (Thermo Scientific). Lysates were precleared by centrifugation at 20 000 × g for 10 min and incubated for 1 h at 4 °C with EZview Red Protein G beads (Sigma) to remove proteins non‐specifically binding to agarose. After preclear with protein G beads, lysates were incubated for 1 h at 4 °C with EZview Red Anti‐FLAG M2 Agarose (Sigma) that is suitable for the immunoprecipitation of FLAG fusion proteins. Beads were washed six times with the wash buffer: 20 mM Tris (pH 7.5), 400 mM NaCl, 1% Triton and proteins were eluted in 25 mM Tris (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, and 100 μg mL−1 3xFLAG peptide (Sigma). Protein yields and purity were estimated by staining gels with Coomassie brilliant blue staining (Thermo Scientific, Figure 1, Supporting Information).

Deglycosylation of SWO1 was performed according to a standard Endo H protocol (New England Biolabs, Frankfurt, Germany). The purified protein (10 µg) was mixed with 10× denaturation buffer (5 % SDS, 400 mM DTT) up to 40 µL of total volume and incubated at 95 °C for 10 min. Subsequently, one-tenth volume of 10× G7 reaction buffer (500 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.5) was added. The mixture was incubated with 300 U Endo H at 37 °C for 90 min. Reaction was stopped by heating for 10 min to 95 °C. Deglycosylated samples and untreated controls were analyzed by SDS-PAGE (NuPAGE® Bis–Tris 4–12 %) with glycostaining and subsequent Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Glycostaining was done with the Pro-Q Emerald 300 glycostain kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) according the manufacturer’s protocol.

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.
