Bovine pancreatic trypsin

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States, Germany

Bovine pancreatic trypsin is a serine protease enzyme derived from the bovine pancreas. It is commonly used in laboratory settings for its ability to cleave peptide bonds, particularly those involving the carboxyl group of lysine or arginine residues. The core function of this enzyme is to facilitate protein digestion and sample preparation for various analytical techniques.

A2M was purified from plasma from a healthy volunteer using established protocols (27 (link), 28 (link)) and was never frozen. HEPES-buffered saline (HBS; 20 mM HEPES-NaOH, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.4) was used as the running buffer for SEC and as the base buffer for all experiments, unless noted otherwise.
To prepare A2M-MA, purified A2M from plasma was treated with 0.5 M of methylamine, pH eight at 37 °C for 24 h, followed by desalting into HBS on a PD-10 column (GE Healthcare). To prepare A2M-T, bovine pancreatic trypsin (Sigma-Aldrich) was added to A2M at a 2.4:1 protease:A2M M ratio and incubated for 2 min at 37 °C. Trypsin was then inhibited by 2 mM phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) at room temperature for 15 min. Excess trypsin and PMSF were removed by SEC on a Sephacryl S-300 HR column.
To prepare deglycosylated A2M, A2M was incubated overnight at room temperature with a 1:10 w/w ratio deglycosidase:A2M of bacterially expressed PNGase F, N-glycosidase F, Endo F2, and Endo F3 (29 (link)), which were then removed by SEC. Deglycosylated A2M-MA and A2M-T were prepared from deglycosylated native A2M as described above.

Lumbar spine discs (L4/5) and caudal spine discs (C7/8) from 4-week-old IFT80fl/fl; Col1-creERT or IFT80fl/fl mice were dissected and fixed in 2.5% (v/v) glutaraldehyde at 4 °C. The collagen fiber diameters were measured using SEM analysis as described previously (25 (link)). Briefly, the samples were digested in 20.4 U/ml hyaluronidase (H3506, Sigma) and 0.1 mg/ml bovine pancreatic trypsin (T1426, Sigma-Aldrich). The fixed samples were washed three times with PBS. The specimens were dehydrated in a graded ethyl alcohol (EtOH) series (30%, 50%, 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100%). Subsequently, specimens were dehydrated in ethanol and hexamethyldisilizane (HMDS) solutions, starting with EtOH: HMDS (1:1) and serially increasing to EtOH: HMDS (1:4), and finally washed with 100% HMDS. The samples were air dried in the fume hood for one hour. Samples were mounted on the AI-hold with super glue and coated with carbon. The FEI XL30 ESEM (FEI XL30 ESEM, FESEM Thermo Fisher, 5350 NE Dawson Creek Drive, Hillsboro, Oregon 97124 USA, voltage: 8 kV) was used for imaging. ImageJ software was used for the measurement of collagen fibril diameters. Six mice were evaluated in each group.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Protease inhibition assays were performed with purified recombinant NvKSPI-1 and NvKSPI-2 proteins using the method described by Ling et al. [56 (link)]. Three typical serine proteases (bovine pancreatic trypsin, bovine pancreatic chymotrypsin, and proteinase K, 200 ng/mL) (Sigma, Taufkirchen, Germany) and their corresponding substrates (N-benzoyl-Val-Gly-Arg-p-nitroanilide, N-succinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-p-nitroanilid, and N-succinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-p-nitroanilid) (Sigma, Taufkirchen, Germany) were selected for determination of the spectrum of enzyme inhibition by recombinant NvKSPI-1 and NvKSPI-2 as follows. The recombinant NvKSPI-1 and NvKSPI-2 (1 µg each) were pre-incubated with a reaction buffer (100 mM Tris-HCl, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM CaCl2, pH 7.5) containing 200 ng/mL serine protease for 30 min at room temperature, and then 200 μL substrate was added (0.1 mM, 100 mM Tris-HCl, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM CaCl2, pH 7.5) before measuring the absorbance at 405 nm every min for 30 min. Substrates alone were used as blanks. Buffer and buffer with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were used as controls. One unit of enzyme activity was defined as an increase of absorbance by 0.001 per min. The experiments were repeated three times as independent biological replicates.

The fecal supernatants that contained both L1 and S1 genes-positive RNAs were inoculated
onto monolayers of Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells in maintenance medium (MM)
[32 (link)] supplemented with 2 μg/mL of bovine
pancreatic trypsin (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). The cells were cultured at 37°C in 5%
CO2 and observed daily to trace the development of cytopathic effects (CPE).
The infected cell cultures that showed CPE were frozen and thawed three times, then
centrifuged at 1,220 × g for 15 min at 4°C, and the culture supernatants
were aliquoted and preserved at −80°C. Two more serial passages were carried out using the
supernatants from the previous passage into fresh monolayers. The supernatants from the
third passages were tested for the prevalence of MRVs L1 gene by RT-PCR.
The virus was subjected to three consecutive plaque purifications by plaque assay, as
described previously [13 (link)]. The plaque from the
third plaque cloning was tested to verify that the virus was a plaque-purified strain of
MRVs, based on RT-PCR with the use of S1 gene primer pairs as described above.

Quantifying Cecal and Fecal Trypsin Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mouse cecal or fecal content trypsin activity were quantitated based on colorimetric-based assay (Norin et al., 1986 (link)) (Abcam, Cambridge UK) following the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, 10 mg mouse cecal or fecal content samples were diluted in 100 μL trypsin assay buffer and homogenized. Homogenized samples were centrifuged for 5 min at 4°C, at −22,000 g to remove insoluble materials and supernatants collected. Absorbance was measured immediately at 405 nm using Dynex Mrx Revelation micro-plate reader (Chantilly VA). The values of active trypsin of each sample were obtained by the standard curves generated in the same assay according to the kit protocol. Using an in-lab trypsin assay kit, fecal samples (5mg) were homogenized in 100 μL 0.1M Tris buffer (pH 8.2), and supernatant (50 μL) of each sample homogenate was incubated with 1ul of chymotrypsin inhibitor (TPCK, Sigma-Aldrich) at 25 C for 10 min, then 10 μL 0.003 M BAPNA (N-benzoyl-DL-argine-4 nitroanilide hydrochloride) was added to each sample well. After incubation at 25 °C for 10 min, 405 nm absorbance was measured using SpectraMax iD3 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader (Molecular Devices, San Jose CA) and compared with standard curves from titration series of bovine pancreatic trypsin (Sigma-Aldrich).

To reproduce gastric digestion in vitro, PWG gliadin was suspended in 0.03 N hydrochloric acid and incubated at 37 °C for 10 min with stirring. Pepsin (Sigma Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA) was added and incubated at 37 °C for 60 min with stirring. The reaction was then stopped by incubating gliadin in a dry bath at 95 °C for 5 min to inactivate the enzyme. Gastric digests were adjusted to pH 6.0 with sodium phosphate buffer and subjected to simulated duodenal digestion by sequential addition of bovine pancreatic trypsin (Sigma Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA) and type II bovine pancreatic-α-chymotrypsin (Sigma Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA) at 37 °C for 30 min. The reaction was then stopped by introducing PWG gliadin in a dry bath at 95 °C for 5 min [37 (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.
