Protein Characterization by SEC-MALS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The SEC-MALS analysis was performed on a DAWN HELEOS multi-angle light scattering detector, with eighteen angles detectors and a 658.9 nm laser beam, (Wyatt Technology, Santa Barbara, CA, USA) and an Optilab T-rEX refractometer (Wyatt Technology) in-line with two coupled Superdex 200 Increase 10/300 GL size exclusion chromatography analytical columns. Experiments were performed using an isocratic pump (Agilent) with a flow of 0.5 ml/min at room temperature (25°C). Data collection was performed with ASTRA 6.1 software (Wyatt Technology). For the experiments, 300 μl at 1.3 mg/ml protein were loaded on the columns with running buffer of 25 mM HEPES pH 8, 10% glycerol, 300 mM NaCl and 2 mM EDTA. Calibration was performed with high-molecular weight markers from GE Healthcare (thyroglobulin, 669 000 Da; ferritin, 440 000 Da; aldolase, 158 000 Da; conalbumin, 75 000 Da; and ovoalbumin, 43 000 Da).

Protein Purification and Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Protein (1 mg/ml; 400 ul) was applied to a Superdex 75 analytical column (30 × 1 cm; GE-Healthcare) using AKTA Explorer (GE-Healthcare) and eluted at a flow rate of 0.8 ml/min in buffer PBS monitoring absorbance at 280, 260 and 220 nm. Molecular weight standards catalase (232 kDa), aldolase (163 kDa), BSA (67 kDa), OvoAlbumin (44 kDa), Chymotrypsinogen A (25 kDa) and RNaseA (13.7 kDa) (GE-Healthcare) were used. For CD40-FasL containing medium the molecular weight standards are as presented in Additional file 2: Figure S2A.

Proteolysis Sensitivity of Structured Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Proteolysis sensitivity was assessed using bovine trypsin (Sigma) in a molecular ratio (protein/trypsin) of 20/1 and 100/1. Conalbumin and Ovoalbumin (GE Life Science) were used as models of well-structured proteins for direct comparison. All reactions were checked by comassie stained 15% SDS-PAGE.

Molecular Mass Characterization of Soluble Fractions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Soluble fractions were analyzed in a Pharmacia LKB (Uppsala, Sweden), FPLC System, using the molecular exclusion column (GE-Healthcare total volume, Vt = 25 mL) Superose-6 N°3 (range: 5-5000 kDa). It was calibrated with blue dextran (void volume, Vo = 7.16 mL), thyroglobulin (669 kDa), alcohol dehydrogenase (150 kDa), albumin (67 kDa), ovoalbumin (44 kDa), and ribonuclease (19 kDa) from GE Healthcare. The molecular masses of the fractions were calculated using the equation:
where MW is the molecular weight in kDa and V e is the elution volume in mL. Soluble fractions were obtained by dissolving the sample in buffer 28 mmol/L Na 2 HPO 4 , 7 mmol/L NaH 2 PO 4 , pH 7.8 and incubating it for 1 h at 25 °C with agitation. Samples were then centrifuged at 10,000×g for 30 min at 15 °C. 200 μL of the soluble fraction were loaded in the column and eluted in the same buffer at 0.2 mL/min. Polypeptides and peptides were detected by absorbance at 280 nm. Every determination was performed at least twice.
Percentage areas of the peaks were calculated by determining the total area of each chromatogram and the area of every peak obtained. These data was processed with the Origin 8.0 program, peak analyzer function.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
