Producing Strain-Specific Antibodies for Immunological Research

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Specific rabbit antibodies were obtained by immunizing rabbits with 200 µg aliquots of recombinant ICAM-1 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) and purified recombinant VP2, VP3, and VP4 that had been purified as described [15 (link)]. The first immunizations were conducted with a mix of the respective protein and Freund’s Complete Adjuvant (CFA) (Charles River, Chatillon sur Chalaronnne, France) and the 2nd to 4th immunization with a mix of each protein and Freund’s Incomplete Adjuvant (IFA) (Charles River, Chatillon sur Chalaronnne, France). Rabbit anti-VP1 antibodies were as previously described [27 (link)]. Commercial rabbit anti-ICAM-1 (Sino Biological, Beijing, China) and goat anti-LDLR antibodies (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) used in certain experiments were purchased. Normal rabbit antibodies used for control experiments were obtained from Genscript (Leiden, Netherlands). RV-strain-specific guinea pig antibodies were purchased from ATCC.

Immobilizing Protein Coatings for AFM

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A 20 µL aliquot of recombinant ICAM-1 (RD Systems, Lille, France) (25 µg/ml) in 0.1 M NaHCO3 (pH 8.6) was adsorbed overnight at 4°C at the centre of the coverslip. Unbound proteins were removed by washing with PBS and 2 ml of complete RPMI 1640 medium were then added to the ICAM-1 coated dish before the AFM experiments.
For the BSA-coating protocol, a µL aliquot of BSA at 100 µg/ml in PBS was adsorbed 30 minutes at 37°C at the centre of the Petri dish. Unbound proteins were removed by washing with PBS and 2 ml of the complete RPMI medium were then added to the BSA coated dish before the AFM experiments.

Recombinant ICAM1 and Phl p Allergen ELISA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ELISA plates (Nunc Maxi-Sorp, Roskilde, Denmark) were coated with recombinant ICAM1 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, Minn), recombinant Phl p 2 (5 μg/mL), and grass pollen extract containing 5 μg/mL natural Phl p 2 or recombinant Phl p 5 as an unrelated control allergen (5 μg/mL; Biomay AG, Vienna, Austria) in 100 mmol/L NaHCO3 (pH 9.6). Plates were incubated for 1 hour at 37°C, washed twice with PBS containing 0.05% (vol/vol) Tween-20 (PBST), and saturated with PBST containing 3% (wt/vol) BSA. P2/ICAM1 (1 μg/mL) was applied overnight at 4°C. Bound P2/ICAM1 was detected either with horseradish peroxidase–conjugated rat anti-mouse IgG1 antibodies (BD PharMingen, San Diego, Calif) or alkaline phosphatase–conjugated goat anti-human F(ab′)2 antibodies (Pierce), both diluted 1:5000 in PBST containing 1% (wt/vol) BSA. OD measurements were carried out on ELISA reader Spectramax Plus (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif) at 405 nm. Results are means of triplicates. Error bars indicate SDs.

Neutrophil Adhesion Assay using ICAM-1

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Individual wells of Immulon2HB flat bottom 96-well plates were coated with 10 μg/mL Recombinant ICAM-1 (R&D Systems) or 5% FBS in PBS (for controls). Isolated human neutrophils at 1 × 107/mL in HBSS were labeled with calcein AM (Corning) at a concentration of 2 μg/mL and primed with human GM-CSF (EMD Millipore) at 5 ng/mL for 30 minutes, protected from light. Cells were then centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 8 minutes and then resuspended in HBSS++ +2% FBS buffer at 7.0 × 105 cells/mL. Appropriate blocking antibodies and/or peptides were added to cells and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The ICAM-1 coated plate was washed once with 1X PBS before cells were added to individual wells. Cells were added to wells and allowed to settle for 10 minutes at 37°C. 0.5 mM Mn2+ was added to individual wells. Plates were incubated for 10 minutes prior to initial fluorescence reading. Cells were gently dumped and washed with PBS, reading fluorescence (485 nm excitation, 535 nm emission) at each wash step. Fluorescence washing was divided by initial fluorescence and multiplied by 100 to calculate percent adhesion. The first wash that demonstrated less than 10% adhesion in the non-stimulated cells (plated on 5% FBS coating) was considered the result. Treatment groups were tested in triplicate.

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.
