Mcpt1 is a laboratory instrument designed for the detection and quantification of mast cell proteases. It utilizes immunoassay technology to measure the levels of specific mast cell proteases in biological samples. The core function of Mcpt1 is to provide accurate and reliable data on mast cell protease levels, which can be useful in research and clinical applications.

Quantifying Allergy-related Biomarkers in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Serum samples from blood drawn after cardiac puncture were analyzed using ELISA kits for OVA-specific IgE (MD Bioproducts, Oakdale, MN, USA), MCPt-1 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), and OVA-specific IgG1 (Alpha Diagnostic International, San Antonio, TX, USA). Total IgE (Bioscience, San Diego, CA, USA) was performed for steady state analysis. For intestinal histological analyses, duodenal tissue was fixed in 10% formalin and processed by standard histological procedures as previously described [36 (link)]. At least eight random images were taken from at least three random sections per mouse. Quantification of stained cells per square millimeter was performed by morphometric analysis using Image Processing Software (ImagePro, Media Cybernetics, MD, USA).

Quantification of Cytokines and IgE via ELISA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
IL-9 (Biolgend), MCPT-1, and IgE (Invitrogen) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were performed according to the manufacturer’s instruction. Briefly, 96-well plates were coated with coating antibody overnight at 4 °C. After washing three times with the wash buffer, 300 μl ELISA buffer was added to the plate and incubate at room temperature for 2 h. After washing three times with washing buffer, 100 μl samples were added to the plate and incubated at room temperature for 2 h. After washing for three times, 100 μl diluted detection antibody was added to the plate and incubated at room temperature for 1 h. After washing the plate three times, 100 μl of diluted Avidin-horseradish peroxidase solution was added to the plate and incubated at room temperature for 30 min in the dark. After washing the plate for three times, 100 μl substrate was added to the plate. Plates were read at absorbance 450 nm and 570 nm. Details of antibodies are listed in Supplementary Table 9.

Quantifying Intestinal Mast Cells and Goblet Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To measure intestinal mast cell number and levels of goblet cell hyperplasia, duodenal tissue was fixed in 10% formalin and processed by standard histological techniques. 5–8–μm tissue sections were stained with Leder stain for chloroacetate esterase (CAE) activity in intestinal mast cells or periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) for mucins in goblet cells. Stained cells were quantified as previously described3 (link). To measure secreted mediators, serum samples were analyzed using ELISA kits of OVA-specific IgE (MD Bioproducts), MCPt-1 (eBioscience), and OVA-specific IgG1 (Alpha Diagnostic International). Diarrhea assessments (profuse liquid stool) and hyperthermia measurements (rectal temperature drop > 2°C) are performed as previously described4 (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.
