1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine (DOPC), 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine (DPPC), 1,2-disteroyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine (DSPC) cholesterol, 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy(polyethylene glycol)-2000 (DSPE-PEG2000) and DSPE-PEG3400-Maleimide were purchased from Avanti polar lipids, Miami, FL. 1,1′-dioctadecyl-3,3,3′3′-tetramethylindotricarbocyanine iodide (DiR) was purchased from Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA. Peptides were synthesized by the Tufts University peptide synthesis core facility using standard FMOC chemistry and Rink-Amide resin (Tufts University, Boston, MA).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
As a surrogate of antigen tethered on APCs, a PLB was used to tether anti-Ig as a model membrane-associated antigen. PLBs were prepared as described previously (51 (link)). Briefly, PLBs were prepared in 8- or 18-well chambered cover glass made by nanostrip-cleaned #1.5 cover glass adhered on it with either 8-well Lab-Tek chambered cover glass (Nunc, 155411) replaced for the bottom coverglass or sticky Slide (ibidi, 81818). A working solution of 100 μM small, unilamellar vesicles was prepared from the stock solution, consisting of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine (DOPC, 850375) and 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-(cap biotinyl) (DOPE-cap biotin, 870273C) from Avanti Polar Lipids at a ratio of 100:1. To bind anti-Ig to the PLB, the wells containing PLB were incubated at room temperature with streptavidin (2.5 μg/ml) for 10 min, which was followed by incubation with biotinylated goat F(ab′)2 anti-human κ + λ (1 μg/ml) for 20 min with washing between the incubations with PBS.

Antigen Immobilization on Planar Lipid Bilayers and Plasma Membranes

PLB was prepared in 8-well Lab-Tek chamber (#1.0 Borosilicate coverglass system, Nunc) as described before (29 (link)). Briefly, PLB was prepared using 110 μM small unilamellar vesicles consisting of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) and 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-(cap biotinyl) (DOPE-cap biotin) (Avanti Polar Lipids) in ratio 100:1. To bind Ag to the PLB, the wells containing PLB were incubated at RT with 2.5 μg/ml streptavidin for 10 min, followed by 1 μg/ml biotinylated goat F(ab′)2 anti-human λ + κ (Southern biotech) for 20 min.
PMS was prepared in 8-well Lab-Tek chamber (#1.5 Borosilicate coverglass system, Nunc) as previously described (30 (link)). Briefly, 293A cells (1 × 105) were seeded in poly-l-lysine-coated wells and cultured overnight in complete RPMI at 37°C, 80–90% confluency being achieved. Cells were washed with HBSS and sonicated with a probe sonicator (5 s, 22% power) in HBSS containing 2% BSA to obtain PMS. To bind Ag to the PMS, the wells containing PMS were first blocked with HBSS containing 2% BSA for 30 min at RT and incubated sequentially for 30 min with 1 μg/ml biotinylated annexin V (Biolegend), 1 μg/ml streptavidin and 0.5 μg/ml biotinylated goat F(ab′)2 anti-human λ + κ (Southern biotech).
Ag concentrations for PLB and PMS were selected by titration measurements to contain the same amounts.

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.
