Tmb liquid substrate

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

TMB liquid substrate is a chromogenic substrate used in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and other immunoassay techniques. It provides a blue color change upon reaction with the enzyme, which can be measured spectrophotometrically. The core function of TMB liquid substrate is to facilitate the detection and quantification of target analytes in these immunological assays.

Briefly, 50 μL of full-length spike protein at 2 μg/mL in TBS pH 7.4 was coated in the 96-well, high-binding microtiter plate (Greiner Bio-One cat # 655061) for 1 hour at 37°C. The coating solution was removed, then 100 μL of blocking solution (3% milk in TBST), was added for 1 hour at 37°C. Serum samples were diluted at 1:40, or serially diluted (1:100 – 1:8100), in the blocking solution. The blocking solution was removed, then 50 μL of diluted serum was added to the plate and incubated for 1 hour at 37°C. The plate was washed three times using wash buffer (TBS containing 0.2% Tween 20), then 50 μL of horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary Goat Anti-Human secondary antibody at 1:40,000 dilution in 3% milk was added for 1 hour at 37°C. For measuring isotype specific antibody, only the respective goat anti-human IgG, IgM, or IgA was used (Jackson ImmunoResearch). The plate was washed three times using wash buffer, then 50 μL of 3,3′,5,5′-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) Liquid Substrate (Sigma-Aldrich) was added to the plate, and absorbance was measured at 450 nm using a plate reader (Molecular Devices SpectraMax ABS Plus Absorbance ELISA Microplate Reader) after stopping the reaction with 50 μl of 1 N HCl.

Huh7 cells were infected with DENV-2 as mentioned above. The cells were lysed at 48 h post infection using RIPA buffer. Anti-dengue rabbit polyclonal antibody, ab26837 was diluted in 50 mM carbonate-bicarbonate buffer (1:300) and coated onto F 96 Maxisorp flat-bottom ELISA plates (Nunc-immuno, Thermo Fischer) and incubated overnight at 4 °C. Two wells were kept as only buffer blank without the antibody. Wells were blocked with 5% BSA and treated with cell lysates for 2 h before adding the detection antibody (anti-dengue mouse monoclonal ab9202). Secondary antibody was an HRP conjugated anti-mouse antibody. Wells were washed with 1X PBS thrice between each antibody addition and five times before adding the substrate. 100 μl of TMB liquid substrate (Sigma Aldrich) was added to each well and the reaction was stopped after 15 minutes using equal volumes of 1 M H2SO4. Absorbance was measured at 450 and 630 nm and the difference between the two absorbance readings were plotted as percentage values with DMSO treated infected sample taken as 100%.

Blood was collected from the mice and serum was obtained from it by centrifugation. Total IgG, IgG1 and IgG2a serum antibody concentrations were measured by ELISA. Briefly, 5 mg/mL of OVA in PBS was coated onto 96 well-plates and then incubated at 4 °C overnight. After washing with PBST (PBS containing 0.1% Tween 20), 2% BSA in PBS was added as the blocking agent at 37 °C for 2 h. The serum was diluted in 2% BSA, followed by reaction at 37 °C for 2 h.

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.
