Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sepharose 4B: Maleimide-activated Sepharose 4B resin (2 mL, 50% vol. slurry in water, 0.025 mmol) was pipetted in a Biorad Poly-Prep® column and be rinsed four times with 1mL water. Furyl-modified oligosaccharide (1.25 mmol, 5 equiv.) was then added in 1mL water. After 16h in a rotary stirrer at 40°C the particles are rinsed with 10 mL of water. The resin is then stored in water with 0.1% sodium azide.
The ligation efficiency reached 85% conversion. The yield was determined by quantification of glucose released from the maltose-modified Sepharose particles after enzymatic treatment with a glucoamylase. Briefly, maltose-modified Sepharose particles (0.2 mL, 50% vol slurry in water) were placed in a Biorad Poly-Prep® column, rinsed 4 times with 0.1 M acetate buffer (pH 5) and incubated with a large excess of Glucoamylase AMGII (500µL of a 1 mg.mL -1 solution in the same buffer). The column was stirred 12h at 37°C. The amount of glucose in the supernatant was determined by the BCA reducing sugar assay.

Cell-free hemolymph samples (10 ml) from immune-challenged larvae were incubated with Micrococcus luteus (100 μg) for 30 min at room temperature to activate the SP-SPH system. To avoid melanization and protein crosslinking, 10 mM diethylthiocarbonate (a Cu2+ chelator that inhibits PO) and 1 mM 1-phenyl-2-thiourea (another PO inhibitor) were added to the reaction mixture. Rabbit antiserum against HP1 (4.8 ml) was coupled to 2.4 ml Protein A-Sepharose beads (Sigma) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For isolating serpin-HP1 complexes, the plasma activated by M. luteus was mixed with the antibody-coupled beads for 8 h at 4°C with gentle agitation. The suspension was loaded into a Poly-Prep column (Bio-Rad) and then washed with 20 ml of 1 M NaCl and 20 ml of 10 mM sodium phosphate, pH 6.8 to remove unbound proteins. Bound proteins were eluted from the column with 50 mM glycine-HCl, pH 2.5. Fractions (0.5 ml each) were instantly neutralized with 50 μl, 1 M Tris-HCl, pH 8.0 in each collection tube. The elution fractions were separated by SDS-PAGE, followed by light staining with Coomassie Blue or immunoblot analysis.

Solutions of NCP reconstituted with alkylated DNA described above were concentrated to 30 μL using a 0.5 mL Amicon Ultra centrifugal filter with a molecular weight cutoff of 10 000 Da (4 °C). DNA associated with the reconstituted NCP and the remaining free DNA were separated by native PAGE (6%, acrylamide/bis(acrylamide), 59:1, 0.6 × TBE) using a running buffer of 0.2 × TBE and 200 V (1 h, 4 °C). The DNA species were detected by phosphorimagery and extracted from the gels by excision, maceration, and finally immersion in 2 mL of elution buffer (0.2 M NaCl, 1 mM EDTA) overnight at 4 °C. Solid material was removed by passage through a Bio-Rad Poly-Prep column and the eluant was lyophilized. The isolated DNA was incubated with proteinase K (1.6 U) for 15 min, heated with piperidine for cleavage at sites of guanine N7 alkyation, and analyzed as described above.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The peptide-based cross-linker biotin–aspartate proline–N-hydroxyphthalimide (BDP–NHP) was synthesized using Fmoc chemistry as described (31 (link)) but with the use of Rink amide ProTide resin (CEM) instead of Fmoc-Gly-Wang resin. Amino acids were coupled to the resin in the following order: Lys(biotin)-Lys-Pro2-Asp2-succinate2-N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHP)2, using a Liberty Lite peptide synthesizer (CEM). Activated NHP esters were incorporated by incubating the resin containing the BDP molecule with a 12-fold molar excess of N-(trifluoroacetoxy)-phthalimide–NHP in pyridine. The reaction was carried out for 20 min at RT. The resin was then transferred to a PolyPrep column (Bio-Rad) and coupled to a vacuum flask. The resin was washed extensively with dimethylformamide followed by extensive washes with dichloromethane. The crosslinker was cleaved from the resin by incubation with 95% N-(trifluoroacetoxy), 2.5% dichloromethane, and 2.5% H2O for 3 h at RT. The crosslinker was then precipitated in cold diethyl ether and washed extensively with fresh cold diethyl ether. The resulting pellet was dried by vacuum centrifugation. The resulting product was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide to a concentration of 200 mM, determined by UV–visible absorbance.

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.
