0.1μM of the recombinant human PCNA (His and MBP tagged) and 0.1μM
of His-DJ1 (Human, negative control, a kind gift from Dr. Dan Levy, BGU, Israel)
in PBS. After washing, the plate was blocked with 2.5% skimmed milk in PBST
(PBS+0.05% TWEEN-20 [Sigma, P1379]) for 1h at 37°C followed by washing
and incubation with 2.5μg/ml of 14-25-9 and purified mouse IgG1κ
isotype control (BioLegend, 401402). Detection was done using mouse IgG
HRP-linked whole Ab (from Sheep) (GE Healthcare, NA931) (1:1000 final
dilutions). Following washing, TMB (DAKO, S1599) was added. Optical density
(O.D.) was measured at 650 nm (Thermo Electron Multiskan Spectrum).
In another setup, ELISA plates were coated overnight at 4°C with
0.1μM of the recombinant human PCNA (MBP tagged); blocking was done as
above. After blocking the plates were washed and incubated with 10 to
0.65μg/ml of 14-25-9 and PC10, 2.5μg/ml of mouse IgG1 and 0.25%
skimmed milk in PBST as control for 1h at 37°C and then NKp44-Ig (2
μg/ml, final concentration) was added without washing for 1h at
37°C. NKp44-Ig binding to PCNA was detected using peroxidase AffiniPure
goat anti-human IgG (H+L) (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories,
Inc.) (1:1000 final dilution). Following washing, TMB
(100μl/well DAKO, S1599) was added. O.D. was read at 650 nm (Thermo
Electron Multiskan Spectrum).
