The OVA-specific IgA response was determined in ELISA with OVA-coated plates, total IgA was determined in ELISA with anti-mouse IgA (Southern biotech, USA)-coated plates for both using anti-mouse IgA biotinylated goat, anti-mouse IgA (Southern biotech, USA) for detection [22] (link) following the procedures described for measuring OVA-specific IgG titers. The titers of total IgA and of OVA-specific IgA were determined as the highest dilution factors of the assay samples with twice the average readout value of the blank. For normalization, the percentage of OVA-specific IgA titer of the total IgA titer was calculated for each sample.

Anti-RBD antibodies in sera were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) as described previously (34 (link), 40 (link), 44 (link)). Briefly, high binding 96-well Maxisorp plates (Thermo Scientific) were coated overnight at 4°C with 1 µg/mL of an RBD target in PBS. Plates were rinsed three times with PBS and 0.05% Tween-20 (J62844, Alfa Aesar) then blocked for 1 hour at room temperature with 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) in PBS (Thermo Scientific 37525). Plates were rinsed three times before addition of diluted sera or nasal washes and incubated overnight at 4°C. After rinsing three times as above, anti-mouse IgG (0107-05, SouthernBiotech), anti-mouse IgG1 (1071-05, SouthernBiotech), anti-mouse IgG2a (1081-05, SouthernBiotech), or anti-mouse IgA (1165-05, SouthernBiotech) conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were added to plates and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. Colorimetric signals were developed with 3, 3′, 5, 5′ - tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) (T0440, Sigma) and reactions were stopped with 2N HCl. Antibody levels were quantified via absorbance readings at 450 nm and 570 nm on a microplate reader (Cytation 5; Biotek, Winooski, VT).

Sera and BAL from different time-points were screened for humoral response against SARS-CoV-2 spike. To measure IgG and IgA antibody levels in the plasma and BAL of mice, respectively, a SARS-CoV-2-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed. Briefly, Nunc ELISA plates were coated with SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (BEI resources-NR-52396, 100 ng total/well) diluted in carbonate/bicarbonate buffer, pH 9.6, and incubated overnight at 4 °C followed by blocking with 5% skim milk to reduce background. A total of 100 μL of diluted serum (1/25) or BAL (undiluted) harvested at different time-points from immunized mice was added to the wells and incubated at 37 °C for 1 h. Post washing (PBS-TritonX 100, 0.1%), either HRP-conjugated anti-mouse IgG (1036-05, Southern Biotech, Birmingham, AL, USA) or anti-mouse IgA (1040-05, Southern Biotech) at dilutions of 1/1000 was added to the wells and incubated at 37 °C for 1 h. Post washing, 100 μL of TMB substrate solution was added and incubated for 20 min or until color developed. The addition of 1 M sulfuric acid stopped the reaction, and plates are read at 450 nm. Binding antibody end point titers (EPTs) were calculated as described previously [17 (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.
