Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For dialysis, 10 kDa cut-off Dialysis Cassettes (Slide-A-Lyzer, ThermoScientific) were used. For proteins eluted in native conditions, dialysis was done with (Tris-HCl 20 mM pH 8, Glycerol 10%, Tween 0.05%, NaCl 250 mM, DTT 0.5 mM) at 4°C. After 1 h, buffer was changed and dialysis performed overnight (12 h). For proteins eluted in denaturing conditions, seven successive dialysis steps were performed at 4°C, with 10 kDa cut-off Dialysis Cassettes (Slide-A-Lyzer, ThermoScientific). HducCDTs were reconstituted by co-dialysis at equimolar concentrations. The first four baths used Refolding Buffer with decreasing Urea and L-Arginine concentration (Tris-HCl 100 mM pH 7.5, L-Arginine 400 mM, Glycerol 20%, Urea 5 M or 3 M or 1.5 M for baths 1 to 3, Tris-HCl 100 mM pH 7.5, L-Arginine 200 mM, Glycerol 20% for bath 4) and were changed after 24 h. The proteins were then dialyzed three times with Tris-HCl 100 mM pH 7.5, Glycerol 10% during 3 h. Finally, the protein solution was centrifuged (4°C, 13 000 g, 5 min) to remove any aggregate, snap-frozen and stored (-80°C).

Nanoprecipitation Procedure for PLA-PEG Nanoparticles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NPs were prepared by a nanoprecipitation procedure (44 (link)). PLA-PEG was dissolved at a concentration of 100 mg/ml in DMSO and then diluted to the desired concentration for NP formulation (typically about 55 mg/ml for about 165-nm NPs used in this study), along with addition of either DiI or DiO dye also dissolved in DMSO. NPs were loaded with DiI or DiO dye at a final dye/polymer ratio of 0.5% (w/w). The dye/polymer solution in DMSO was added dropwise to vigorously stirring sterile deionized H2O (diH2O) in batches of 300 μl of polymer/dye solution added to 1.2 ml of diH2O, with identical repetitions performed to generate a full NP batch. NPs were subsequently filtered through a 1.2-μm cellulose acetate membrane (GE Healthcare Life Sciences) filter to remove any free-dye or polymer aggregates and then pooled. The NP solutions were then transferred in batches to dialysis cassettes (12-ml volume; molecular weight cutoff, 10,000; Slide-A-Lyzer, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and dialyzed against two exchanges of about 2.2 liters of diH2O at room temperature to remove excess DMSO. After dialysis, NPs were aliquoted and snap-frozen in liquid N2. One aliquot from each NP batch was lyophilized in a preweighed tube to determine the NP concentration. Standard NP concentration was typically about 5 mg/ml before Ab conjugation.

Purified PXR(130-434)-SRC-1 was dialysed overnight against Tris-HCl 20 mM, pH 8.5, NaCl 200 mM, TCEP 1 mM using 10 kDa molecular weight cut-off dialysis cassettes (Slide-A-Lyzer 0.5 ml 10 K MWCO, Thermo Scientific). Protein concentration was determined spectrophotometrically (ɛ280 nm=26,210 l mol−1 cm−1). Duplicate experiments were performed on Microcal ITC200 (Malvern) operating at 25 °C. Titrations were carried out in Tris-HCl 20 mM, pH 8.5, NaCl 200 mM, TCEP 1 mM supplemented with 0.05% Tween 20 and 5% DMSO (syringe, sample and reference cells). PXR (5 μM) was disposed in 200 μl cell and compounds were delivered from 40 μl syringe. Compound solutions were set to 300 μM when tested individually (Fig. 5b,c), 50 μM each when used simultaneously (Fig. 5f) and 50 μM (EE2, Fig. 5d) or 200 μM (TNC, Fig. 5e) when tested after pre-incubation of PXR with 50 μM TNC or EE2, respectively. Heat exchanges were monitored throughout titrations consisting of 19 injections (one time 0.5 μl followed by 18 times 2 μl) of compound solutions into the cell containing PXR solution. Data analysis and thermodynamic parameter fitting used Microcal Origin software (Malvern).

Cells lyzed in Benzonase Lysis Buffer (20 mM HEPES [pH 7.9], 40 mM KCl, 2 mM MgCl2, 12% glycerol, 0.5% CHAPS, 50 U/ml Benzonase [Novagen], 0.05% [v/v] phosphatase inhibitors [Sigma-Aldrich] and protease inhibitors [Roche]) were supplemented with KCL to a 450 mM final concentration and gently mixed for 30 min at 4°C.

Flag-HA-53BP1 or endogenous p53 complexes were purified from 1–2 mg total protein using anti-FLAG M2 magnetic resin (Sigma-Aldrich) or p53 DO-1 antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) coupled to protein G Dynabeads (Invitrogen). Protein-bead complexes washed extensively in dialysis buffer were either boiled in Laemmli buffer or eluted in 3× Flag peptide (Sigma-Aldrich).

Turbidity Assay for Filamentous Polymers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Samples were dialyzed against the desired buffer in Slide-A-Lyzer mini dialysis units with 10,000 MWCO (Thermo Fisher Scientific) overnight at 4°C. Dialyzed samples were transferred to 190 μm clear-bottomed, 96-well microplates (Greiner Bio-One). Turbidity, as a value for total light scattering caused by filamentous polymers, was measured at a 350 nm wavelength with TECAN infinite M200. Unassembled FilP in 6 M urea was used as a control in all turbidity experiments because FilP did not form filaments in the presence of 6 M urea and the absorbance of completely denaturated FilP at 350 nm was zero.

SORTECDHis was expressed in HEK-293F cells. The His-tag in the proteins enables purification with immobilized metal affinity chromatography. In this process NiNTA Superflow Cartridge (Qiagen) is equilibrated with 50 mM NAH2PO4, 300 mM NaCl and 10 mM Imidazole pH 8.0. Column is loaded with His tagged protein with a residence time of 1 minute. Column is washed with 50 mM NAH2PO4, 300 mM NaCl and 20 mM Imidazole pH 8.0. Protein is eluted with 50 mM NAH2PO4, 300 mM NaCl and 250 mM Imidazole pH 8.0. Subsequently the protein is dialyzed to PBS using a Slide-A-Lyzer with a cut off of 10.000 mwco (Thermo Scientific). After dialyzing the protein is sterile filtered using a 0.2 micron SFCA filter (Thermo Scientific).

The S18-HEK cell line was generated by transfecting HEK293 cells with a human wild type (WT) sortilin expression vector. Stable transfected cells were derived after passage in the presence of a selection agent. Individual clones were selected by dilution cloning. Clones were characterized for sortilin mRNA expression using QPCR. Highest expressing clones were than analyzed by FACS (Guava, Millipore) using an anti-sortilin polyclonal antibody (Polyclonal Goat Sortilin Biotinylated Ab, Cat. No: BAF2934 (R&D Systems)) to determine the surface expressed levels of Sortilin.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
M5A (10 mg, 66.6 nmole, 400 μL of PBS) was reduced with a 30 molar excess of TCEP at 37° C for 2h under Argon. The TCEP was removed by using a desalting spin column (Zeba, 7 kDa cutoff, 1 mL). The reduced M5A was reacted with a 100 fold molar excess of bromoacetamide-PEG5-azide at RT overnight under Argon. The excess bromoacetamide-PEG5-azide was removed by dialysis (Slide-A-Lyzer, 2 mL, Thermo-Fisher). Conjugation was confirmed by mass spectrometry on an Agilent 6520 QTOF. The analysis revealed one PEG5-azide per light chain and three PEG5-azides per heavy chain with a total of eight per IgG (2 light chains and 2 heavy chains).
M5A- PEG5-azide (2.66 mg, 17 nmole) in 0.45 mL of PBS was reacted with DOTA-NHS (177 nmole, 15.7 μL of 10 mg/mL) in water over night at 37 °C and dialyzed vs PBS to remove excess reagent. DOTA-M5A-PEG5-azide (8 nmole, 219 μL of 2.66 mg/mL) was clicked to DSPE-PEG2000-DBCO ND (8 nmole, 50 μL of 0.985 mg/mL) at 37 °C overnight and analyzed by SEC HPLC (65% yield by UV).

The Au nanoclusters used in this study were synthesized using an approach developed by Xie et al.11 (link). Typically, 5 mL of 10 mM HAuCl4 was mixed with 5 mL of 50 mg/mL BSA and incubated overnight at 37°C. The light brown cluster solution was further dialyzed (2000 MWCO membrane, Slide-A-lyzer, dialysis cassette, Thermo Scientific) against de-ionized water for at least 12 hr with periodic change of water to remove any small impurities. The dialyzed cluster solution was filtered using a 0.02 μm syringe filter and then used for subsequent measurements.

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.
