Figure Lengend Snippet: Kinetics of CXCL8 processing in the presence of synovial fluids from juvenile idiopathic arthritis patients. Exogenous CXCL8(1-77) was incubated with synovial fluids from JIA patients ( n = 4) for a period of 0, 1, 3, 6, 12 or 20 h. Total CXCL8 was extracted from synovial fluids by immunosorbent isolation and subjected to nano-LC-MS/MS analysis. For each sample, two nano-LC-MS/MS runs were performed to examine the presence of eight CXCL8 forms in MRM mode. (A) Extracted ion chromatograms (EIC) show the intensity of m/z values of signature fragment ions (±0.5) generated by fragmentation of a specific precursor ion (indicated between brackets) during protein elution. (B) Relative abundance of CXCL8 proteoforms in synovial fluids after 0, 1, 3, 6, 12, and 20 h of incubation (represented as mean ± SEM). (C) Pseudo-first order association kinetics of proteolytic modification of CXCL8(1-77) in the presence of synovial fluids (represented as mean ± SEM; n = 4).
Article Snippet: After three washing steps, captured CXCL8 forms were detected using biotinylated polyclonal rabbit anti-human CXCL8 (500-P28BT; PeproTech, Rocky Hill, NJ), raised against recombinant human CXCL8(6-77), combined with peroxidase-conjugated streptavidine (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN).
