Project description:The aim of the array was to determine the B6 mouse sera IgG and IgM reactivity profile to linear peptide epitopes. Pooled sera from three 6-9 month old B6 mice was diluted at 1:200 for IgG specific analysis or 1:1000 for IgM specific analysis and incubated on a PEPperPRINT peptide microarray platform printed with peptide autoantigens Pooled sera from three 6-9 month old B6 mice was profiled for IgG or IgM-specific analysis of autoantibody reactivity to peptide auto-epitopes printed in duplicate on a PepperPrint Chip.

Project description:The aim of the study was to determine B6 and BXD2 mouse sera IgG and IgM reactivity to linear peptide epitopes at different ages. Serum from B6 or BXD2 mice was diluted at 1:200 for IgG-specific analysis or 1:1000 for IgM specific analysis and incubated on a PEPperPRINT peptide microarray platform printed with peptide autoantigens.

Serum from B6 or BXD2 mice was diluted at 1:200 for IgG-specific analysis or 1:1000 for IgM specific analysis and incubated on a PEPperPRINT peptide microarray platform printed with peptide autoantigens. 80 pre-selected peptides based on a previous screen of pooled mouse serum BXD2 against the PEPperCHIP® Autoimmunity Microarray with 2,733 linear B-cell epitopes were printed in duplicate in 16 copies on a custom PEPperCHIP® Peptide Microarray. Flag (DYKDDDDKGG) and HA (YPYDVPDYAG) control peptides (10 spots each control) were randomly distributed in each array copy as controls. Sera from 2, 5, or 9 month old B6 or BXD2 mice was profiled for anti-mouse IgG or IgM-specific analysis of autoantibody reactivity to the peptide auto-epitopes.
Project description:The aim of the study was to determine autoimmune BXD2 mouse sera reactivity to linear peptide epitopes from the Immune Epitope Database. Pooled sera from six 8-10 month old BXD2 mice was diluted at 1:1000 and incubated on a PEPperPRINT peptide microarray platform printed with peptide autoantigens. In this study, pooled sera from six 8-10 month old BXD2 mice was profiled for anti-mouse IgG (H+L) analysis of autoantibody reactivity to peptide auto-epitopes printed in duplicate on a PepperPrint Chip.
Project description:We inflicted TBI to wildetype (wt) mice in order to establish whether the anti-inflammatory agent cyclophosphamide can be used therapeutically. Cyclophosphamide was found to regulate distinct inflammatory cells such as activated microglia separate from invading phagocytes and dendritic cells. Cyclophosphamide postinjury selectively reduces antigen-presenting dendritic cells. Findings show feasibility of drug development to interfere with brain inflammation. TBI was carried out in injured wt B6 mice for postinjury treatment with cyclophospamide i.p. using saline as a control substance for comparison with injured but untreated mice. Total RNA was prepared from injured cerebral neocortex after three days. RNA samples were also from uninjured wt mice as reference for hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
