Antigen specific antibody subclass and isotypes, and FcγR binding was analyzed by Luminex multiplexing. The antigens were coupled to magnetic Luminex beads (Luminex Corp, TX, USA) by carbodiimide-NHS ester-coupling with an individual region per antigen. Coupled beads were incubated with different plasma dilutions (1:100 for IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgM and IgA1, 1:500 for IgG1 and 1:1,000 for FcγR probing) for 2 hours at room temperature in 384 well plates (Greiner Bio-One, Germany). Unbound antibodies were washed away and subclasses, isotypes were detected with a respective PE-conjugated antibody (anti-human IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgM or IgA1 all SouthernBiotech, AL, USA) at a 1:100 dilution. For the analysis of FcγR binding PE-Streptavidin (Agilent Technologies, CA, USA) was coupled to recombinant and biotinylated human FcγR2a, FcγR2b, FcγR3a, or FcγR3b protein. Coupled FcγR were used as a secondary probe at a 1:1000 dilution. After 1 h incubation, excessive secondary reagent was washed away and the relative antibody concentration per antigen determined on an IQue analyzer (IntelliCyt).

Phagocytosis score of primary human neutrophils was determined as described before.30 (link) Antigens were biotinylated with NHS-Sulfo-LC-LC kit according to the manufacturer’s instruction (Thermo Fisher). Excessive biotin was removed by size exclusion chromatography using Zeba-Spin desalting columns (7 kDa cutoff, Thermo Fisher). Biotinylated antigens were coupled to fluorescent neutravidin beads (Thermo Fisher) and incubated with 1:10 diluted plasma. Primary cells were derived from Ammonium-Chloride-Potassium (ACK) buffer lysed whole blood from healthy donors and incubated with immune complexes for one hour at 37°C. For the Fc-receptor blocking experiments, isolated neutrophils were pre-incubated with 5 μg/ml of FcγR2a (CD32A, clone IV.3, Bio X Cell Cat# BE0224, RRID:AB_2687707) and FcγR3 (CD16, clone: LNK16, Bio-Rad, RRID:AB_324304) five minutes prior to addition of neutrophils to the immune complexes.

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.
