Article Title: CLR-Seq: a pipeline to identify bacterial microbiota species with immunomodulatory potential through human C-type lectin receptor interaction
doi: 10.1101/2025.03.31.646320
Figure Lengend Snippet: Isolated fecal microbiota were supplemented with 10 6 CFU langerin-reactive S. aureus N315 (upper panels) or MGL-reactive PS187 (lower panels). S. aureus strains were fluorescently labeled with CellTrace Violet prior to addition to the microbiota suspension. For both langerin and MGL, the bacteria were measured without (left panels) and after FITC-labeled CLR staining (right panel). The reduced relative abundance of CellTrace Violet+/MGL+ S. aureus results from agglutination by the secondary antibody. The percentages are shown per quadrant. The images shown are representative of two different fecal donors.
Article Snippet: To determine CLR-specific binding of fecal bacteria, the filtered microbiota suspension was centrifuged and stained with 25 µg/mL recombinant human langerin-FITC [ ] or his-tagged human MGL (hMGL; R&D Systems) in Tris-sodium-magnesium buffer (20 mM Tris; Roche, 150 mM NaCl; Merck, 2 mM CaCl2; Merck, 2 mM MgCl2; Merck, pH 7.0; TSM) + 1% BSA, and incubated 30 minutes at 37°C with agitation (600 rpm).
