Standard Fusion Protein Protocol

 

Day 1

 

á      Bind Goat anti-mouse Ig (100ug/ml) to ELISA plate in appropriate positions (50ul)

á      In separate plate, combine 1 ul FP with appropriate concentration peptide (OVA)

á      FP should be diluted in RP10

á      Peptide should be diluted in RP10

á      Seal and incubate @ 4 C overnight

 

 

Day 2

 

á      Remove excess G anti-Mouse and save

á      Wash wells 3X with 200 ul RP10

á      Add unwashed FP to G anti-Mouse wells @ 50 ul/well

á      Seal and incubate @ 4 C overnight OR at room temp for at least 2 hours

á      After incubation wash wells 5X with RP10

á      Count CTL and add to plate @ 10^5 cells/well (200 ul RP10/well)

á      Incubate @ 37 C for 24 hours

 

 

Day 3

 

á      Spin down cells

á      Harvest 50 ul per well to 2 plates

á      Seal and place 2nd plate in -80 C

á      Add FDC.P1 cells (4000 cells/well in 50 ul) to 1st plate

á      Add controls (ex. 3 wells with RP10 & FDC.P1/3 wells with 45 ul RP10 5 ul GM-CSF & FDC.P1)

á      Incubate overnight (At least 8 hours) @ 37 C


 

Day 4

 

á      Add 10 ul Alamar Blue to wells

á      Incubate for 24 hours @ 37 C

 

 

Day 5

 

á      Read @ 562 nm, use negative controls for background

 

 

 

 

BINDING FP DIRECTLY TO PLATE

 

Day 1

 

á      Add 5 ul FP to elisa plate with 45 ul PBS

á      Incubate @ 4 C overnight

 

Day 2

 

á      Block wells with 150 ul RP10 for 2 hours

á      Add peptide in low volume and incubate @ 4 C overnight

 

Day 3

 

á      Wash plate 4X with 200 ul RP10

á      Add CTL and continue Day 2 protocol as above
