ECOGEO 'Omics Training: 2.0 Quality Control Resource Report Resource Website |
Ben Tully | DOI:10.17504/protocols.io.fixbkfn | ECOGEO | Quality impact results is the universal first step for all sequencing methods. This protocol is for sequencing results in FASTQ format. FastQC allows for visualization of quality scores. Sequence trimming allows for removal of residual primer sequences and increases overall quality scores. Trimmomatic does both. CutAdapt cuts adapters from sequences. Sickle creates a sliding window for quality and length trimming of FASTQ files.Open this protocol inside the virtual machine (details in 'Start Instructions') for easy copy, paste of commands into the command line terminal window. | EarthCube Oceanography and Geobiology Environmental 'Omics | 2 | 2016 | Ben Tully 2016.

Universal Immunoblot analysis for investigating Protein-LAG (SpLAG)-binding to mammalian and avian immunoglobulins. Resource Report Resource Website |
Angel Justiz-Vaillant | DOI:10.17504/protocols.io.bjsdkna6 | University of the West Indies, [email protected] | A protein that combines the binding capacity of SpA, SpG and SpL is not comercially available. It was created in my laboratory by combining these 3 immunoglobulin-binding proteins to horseradish peroxidase by the periodate method [1]. However, a mixture of SpA, SpG and SpL which are comercially available can have the same effect as universal reagent in immunodetection. 1.

We used the Qiagen QIAquick Gel Extraction Kit. We ran samples out on a 1.4 % gel. The main drawback to performing a gel extraction is that you will almost certainly lose some of your sample.

We used a meteorite specimen of 297.8 g in weight, register number IG-A7, from the Colección Nacional de Meteoritas of the Instituto de Geología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), Mexico City (figure). For transmission electron microscopy (TEM), a ~ 4 cm long fragment of the large specimen were freshly fractured and cut by using a diamond knife in a clean room. Later, smaller clean fragments (~ 50 mg in total) were extracted from the interior, avoiding contamination from the fusion crust or surface areas. The resulting crude sample were powdered in an agate mortar and suspended in high-purity ethanol to achieve homogeneous dispersion without agglomerates. For HRTEM analysis, a 5µl pipette was add a portion of that suspension to a lacey carbon grid coated with formvar. Before being used, the TEM grid was carefully inspected in order to rule out any possible contamination. HRTEM. High Resolution TEM imaging of chondrite samples was conducted using an Aberration Corrected Cold Field Emission Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope Jeol JEM-ARM200CF at the Centro de Nanociencias y Micro y Nanotecnologías, Instituto Politécnico Nacional, Mexico City. The TEM microscope is equipped with cold field emission gun, Cs-corrector, and high angle annular dark field (HAADF) detector and has ultra-high resolution of 0.72 Å. We utilized an electron beam spot with a condenser aperture of 60 nm at 200 kV for less than 30 seconds. Several locations on individual samples were analyzed. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis and image processing were applied using the freely available Digital Micrograph (GATAN) software attached at the microscope. | Cruz-Rosas HI, Riquelme F, Santiago P, Rendón L, Buhse T, Ortega-Gutiérrez F, Borja-Urby R, Mendoza D, Gaona C, Miramontes P, Cocho G (2019) Multiwall and bamboo-like carbon nanotubes from the Allende chondrite: A probable source of asymmetry.

SILICONE INDUCED GRANULOMA OF BREAST IMPLANT CAPSULE Resource Report Resource Website |
Eduardo Fleury | DOI:10.17504/protocols.io.bfn4jmgw | Objective: To evaluate the ability of BMRI to detect silicone gel bleeding in a prospective observational study including consecutive patients referred for a BMRI scan.Methods: From January 2017 until now, patients referred for BMRI were evaluated in a prospective observational study. Patients who had breast implants were included. BMRI recorded 9 findings according to BI-RADS lexicon and SIGBIC findings, considered equivocal features to detect gel bleeding (GB). Three new original imaging features were added for SIGBIC diagnosis: black drop signal; T2* hypersignal mass; and delayed contrast enhancement, considered as irrevocable signs. The presence of silicones corpuscles was confirmed by percutaneous biopsy or surgical capsulectomy. The accuracy of BMRI SIGBIC findings to predict GB was determined. We also used univariate analysis for the equivocal features for GB diagnosis. The Backward method was applied for a multivariate Logistic Regression model for the equivocal features. | Fleury EdFC (2020) Silicone Induced Granuloma of Breast Implant Capsule (SIGBIC) diagnosis: Breast Magnetic Resonance (BMR) sensitivity to detect silicone bleeding.

High-fidelity detection of IFN-? secreting CD4 and CD8 cells in response to soluble or Ad5 transduced influenza antigens using ELISPOT and cell sorting Resource Report Resource Website |
Aleksey Pichugin, Alexander Bagaev, Ravshan Ataullakhanov | DOI:10.17504/protocols.io.jn4cmgw | ELISPOT allows detection of single IFN-γ-secreting cell, but the use of unseparated spleen cells removes the advantages of the method due to a high back ground of IFN-γ-production and uncertainty of the phenotype of secreting cells (CD4, CD8 or NK).We used high purity sorted CD4 and CD8 cells.For in vitro restimulation of CD8 T-cells, we used dendritic cells that present antigenic epitopes of M2, NP or of adenovirus in the context of MHC class I. In this instance, dendritic cells were transduced with Ad5-tet-M2, Ad5-tet-NP or Ad5-null, respectively.For restimulation of CD4 T-cells in vitro, we used dendritic cells that present antigenic M2 or NP epitopes in the context of MHC class II. For this purpose, dendritic cells were additionally activated by lipopolysaccharide E. coli (1 μg/ml) and were loaded with recombinant protein NP or M2e peptide.. | Tutykhina I, Esmagambetov I, Bagaev A, Pichugin A, Lysenko A, Shcherbinin D, Sedova E, Logunov D, Shmarov M, Ataullakhanov R, Naroditsky B, Gintsburg A (2018) Vaccination potential of B and T epitope-enriched NP and M2 against Influenza A viruses from different clades and hosts.
