In addition, the effect of IND on human recombinant ATX-induced hydrolysis of LPC 18:1 was assessed with the Amplex Red choline release assay. ATX was generated in-house, as described before [43 (link)]. Triplicate wells were loaded with 60 μL of reaction cocktail in ATX assay buffer (50 mM TRIS, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM CaCl2, 30 μM BSA, pH 7.4), with of 10 μM Amplex Red, 1 U/mL horeseradish peroxidase (both from Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and 0.1 U/mL choline oxidase (MP Biomedicals, Irvine, CA, USA), resulting in an overall concentration of 100 μM LPC 18:1 (Avanti Polar Lipids, Alabaster, AL, USA) with 10 nM ATX ± IND (30–300 μM). The fluorescence (λexcitation = 560 nm and λemission = 590 nm) was recorded every 2 min by a FlexStation 3 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader for 240 min (Molecular Devices, San Jose, CA, USA).

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.
