Summary: To extract plasmid DNA from Agrobacterium, to confirm the correct plasmid has been taken-up, this protocol allows you to directly perform a mini-prep on transformed Agrobacterium, digest this DNA and visualize it on a gel. This is without the need of rescuing the plasmid in E. coli or genotyping with PCR. This protocol using the commercially available Bioline ISOLATE II Plasmid Mini Kit, designed for use with E. coli. The standard protocol this is modified from is available here: https://www.bioline.com/au/downloads/dl/file/id/1219/isolate_ii_plasmid_mini_kit_protocol.pdf

Summary: In vitro antibody selection against pathogens from naïve combinatorial libraries can yield various classes of antigen-specific binders that are distinct from those evolved from natural infection. Also, rapid neutralizing antibody discovery can be made possible by a strategy that selects for those interfering with pathogen and host interaction. Here we report the discovery of antibodies that neutralize SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, from a highly diverse naïve human Fab library. Lead antibody 5A6 blocks the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the viral spike from binding to the host receptor angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), neutralizes SARS-CoV-2 infection of Vero E6 cells, and reduces viral replication in reconstituted human nasal and bronchial epithelium models. 5A6 has a high occupancy on the viral surface and exerts its neutralization activity via a bivalent binding mode to the tip of two neighbouring RBDs at the ACE2 interaction interface, one in the “up” and the other in the “down” position, explaining its superior neutralization capacity. Furthermore, 5A6 is insensitive to several spike mutations identified in clinical isolates, including the D614G mutant that has become dominant worldwide. Our results suggest that 5A6 could be an effective prophylactic and therapeutic treatment of COVID-19.

Summary: The 4-methylumbelliferyl heptanoate (MUH) assay is a A fluorimetric assay used to study cell-mediated cytotoxicity. The principle behind this assay employs the activity of esterases found in viable cells. These esterases then hydolyse the fluorochrome in the MUH reagent which can then be read using a plate reader.

Summary: The global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic led to a steep increase in the need for viral detection tests worldwide. Most current tests for SARS-CoV-2 are based on RNA extraction followed by quantitative reverse-transcription PCR assays that involve a separate RNA extraction and qPCR reaction for each sample with a fixed cost and reaction time. While automation and improved logistics can increase the capacity of these tests, they cannot exceed this lower bound dictated by one extraction and reaction per sample. Multiplexed next generation sequencing (NGS) assays provide a dramatic increase in throughput, and hold the promise of richer information on viral strains and host immune response.Here, we establish a significant improvement of existing RNA-seq detection protocols. Our workflow, ApharSeq (Amplicon Pooling by Hybridization And RNA-Seq), includes a fast and cheap RNA capture step, that is coupled to barcoding of individual samples, followed by sample-pooling prior to the reverse transcription, PCR and massively parallel sequencing. Thus, only one step is performed before pooling hundreds of barcoded samples for subsequent steps and further analysis. Considering these improvements, our proposed workflow is estimated to reduce costs by 10-50 fold, labor by 5-100 fold, automated liquid handling by 5-10 fold, and reagent requirements by 100-1000 fold compared to existing methods.

Summary: Using traditional histological methods, researchers are hampered in their ability to image whole tissues or organs in large-scale 3D. Histological sections are generally limited to 500 μm using traditional methods. In addition, light scatters from macromolecules within tissues, particularly lipids, prevents imaging to a depth >150 μm with most confocal microscopes. To reduce light scatter and to allow for deep tissue imaging using simple confocal microscopy, various optical clearing methods have been developed that are relevant for rodent and human tissue samples fixed by immersion. Several methods are related and use protein crosslinking with acrylamide and tissue clearing with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Other optical clearing techniques used various solvents though each modification had various advantages and disadvantages. Here, an optimized passive optical clearing method is described for studies of the human pancreas innervation and specifically for interrogation of the innervation of human islets.

Summary: Product description and procedure summary: Target cells are positively selected or depleted by incubating the sample with an anti-human APC conjugated antibody, followed by incubation with magnetic anti-APC Nanobeads. The magnetically labeled fraction is retained by the use of a magnetic separator. These are the APC+ cells, do not discard them if those are the cells of interest. Some of the downstream applications include functional assays, gene expression, phenotypic characterization, etc.Note: This procedure is optimized for the isolation of 107 to 2 x 108 cells per tube. If working with fewer than 107 cells, keep volumes as indicated for 107 cells. For best results, optimize the conditions to your specific cell number and tissue. Prepare fresh MojoSort™ Buffer solution by diluting the 5X concentrate with sterile distilled water.Scale up volumes if using 14mL tubes and Magnet, and place the tube in the magnet for 10 minutes.
