This video demonstrates a technique for assessing the efficacy of antibodies against tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα), an inflammatory cytokine, through an in vitro bioanalytical approach. TNFα, when introduced to stressed cells, triggers apoptosis. However, binding to the antibodies confines TNFα, averting apoptosis. The degree of apoptosis is quantified using a bioluminescence assay.
Protocol
1. Preparation of the Media and Solutions Prepare the culture medium: RPMI-1640 with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), pH 7.4. Prepare assay culture medium: RPMI-1640 without phenol red but with 1% FBS, pH 7.4. Prepare cell wash solution: Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline (DPBS) Mg- and Ca-free solution with 0.02% EDTA, pH 7.4. Prepare cell detachment solution: 0.125% trypsin with 1 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Thaw 100 mL of a 0.25% …
Representative Results
Figure 1: Disposition of samples in the assay plates. B1 to G11 are well coordinates in the microplates and describe the positions where the sample dilutions are placed. Missing coordinates are wells filled with controls and assay culture medium (A1-A12 and H1-H12). This random distribution of samples (forward and reverse dilutions in the microplates) helps to eliminate bias in the results due to…
