Monoclonal antibody CR3022 was purchased from Absolute Antibody (catalog number Ab01680–10.0). Biotin-PEG4-Amine (Nanocs, catalog number B-P4A-1) was dissolved in distilled water at a concentration of 10 mM (4.36 mg/ml). Fifty micrograms of DyLight650 NHS Ester (Thermo Fisher, catalog number 62266, MW = 1066) was dissolved in 100 μl phosphate buffered saline (PBS, 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 10 mM Na2HPO4, and 1.8 mM KH2PO4), resulting in a 0.47 mM solution. Fifty micrograms of DyLight488 NHS Ester (Thermo Fisher, catalog number 46403, MW = 1011) was dissolved in 100 μl PBS, resulting in a 0.47 mM solution. Eighty microliters of the DyLight650 NHS Ester or DyLight488 NHS Ester solution were mixed with 2.4 μl of the biotin-PEG4-Amine stock solution, corresponding to a dye:amine ratio of 1.57:1. After 1 h at room temperature, the reaction was quenched by the addition of 1 μl of 2 M Tris-HCl pH 8.0. We assumed that the reaction was complete, resulting in a 0.288 mM solution of biotin-PEG4-dye. These solutions were used without further purification, because the unreacted dye is not expected to interfere with the assay, as it is removed in multiple washing steps in the MBBA procedure.

LDL with a density of 1.019 to 1.063 g/mL was isolated from plasma of a healthy, normolipidemic donor through gradient ultracentrifugation after which it was fluorescently labeled with DyLight 488 NHS-Ester (ThermoFisher Scientific) for 1 hour according to the manufacturer’s protocol and dialyzed against PBS overnight.42 (link)After 24 hours of coculture (HepG2 and PBMCs or HepG2 and B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells), 4 µg DyLight apoB-labeled LDL per well was added. Thirty minutes later, HepG2 cells were washed twice with ice-cold PBS +0.2% BSA after which they were lysed on ice for 30 minutes with ice-cold RIPA buffer (Pierce, Rockford, IL) supplemented with protease inhibitors (Complete; Roche). The lysates were centrifuged at 13 523g for 15 minutes at 4°C. The fluorescence at 488 nm in the supernatant was determined and compared with cells that were not incubated with labeled LDL.

Glycan array screening of SL2-1 binding

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Purified SL2-1 was labeled with DyLight 488 NHS Ester (Thermo Scientific) according to the manufacturer’s instructions and dialyzed against 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl using 10,000 MWCO dialysis membrane. DyLight 488 labeled protein was used for glycan array screening at the Protein-Glycan Interaction Core H of the Consortium for Functional Glycomics (Emory University, Atlanta, GA).
The specificity of SL2-1 was determined by screening its binding on the printed array (version 5.2) consisting of 609 mammalian glycans. Detailed information about the structures and linkers of these glycans can be found at https://glycopattern.emory.edu. The printed array was probed with 200 μg/mL of SL2-1 diluted in 20 mM Tris-HCL pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 2 mM CaCl2, 2 mM MgCl2, 0.05% Tween 20, 1% BSA, in 6 replicate binding experiments. The highest and lowest point from each set of six replicates was discarded, and the average RFU value of 4 replicates, the standard deviation, and % CV (% CV = 100 * Standard Deviation/Mean) was calculated.

Tau:suramin condensates containing 2% DyLight-488 labeled Tau (labeled using amine-reactive DyLight488-NHS ester (Thermo Scientific) following manufacturer instructions) were imaged before and directly after bleaching with a 488 nm laser (90% intensity; 6 loops). The recovery of the fluorescence in the bleached region (circular ROIs, diameter 1 to 2 µm), a similar non-bleached reference-ROI (inside a different condensate) and a background ROI (Region of interest) were monitored in parallel for 40 s. FRAP curves were background corrected and normalized to the background corrected reference signal.

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.
