“…To test whether the identified mimic peptide can inhibit the interaction between McAb IXiao 3 G 6 and Ogawa, the 10 μg/mL McAb IXiao 3 G 6 coated plates were incubated with 50 μL inactivated bacteria (V. cholerae O1 Ogawa and Inaba, V. cholerae O139, E. coli, S. typhi, S. sonnei, V. fluvialis, and A. caviae) (refer to Section 2.1 for details), or alternatively their corresponding LPS extracts (prepared as previously described (Chen et al, 2014)) at different concentrations (10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, 0.625, 0.31 μg/mL) diluted in PBS for 10 min at 37°C. After being washed in TBST for 5 times, plates were incubated with either 50 μL P16 phage clone (1.0 × 10 7 pfu) or P17 phage clone (1.0 × 10 7 pfu) respectively, followed by anti-M13-HRP incubation and color development.…”
