Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In order to construct the 46F2 small immunoprotein (46F2SIP) gene, the DNA sequence coding for the scFvOC-46F2 [36 (link)] was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using Pwo DNA polymerase (Roche Diagnostics, Milan, Italy), according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, with primers BC-512 (ctcgtgtgcactcggaggtgcagctggtggagtct) and BC-513 (ctctccggagcctaggacggtcagcttggt) containing the ApaLI and BspEI restriction sites, respectively. The amplification product was inserted in ApaLI/BspEI in the pcDNA3.1-epsilonCH4 vector, which provides the scFv gene with a secretion signal required for secretion of proteins in the extracellular medium [44 (link)]. This construct was used to transfect Chinese hamster ovary CHO-K1, as previously described [36 (link)]. The different geneticin-selected clones were screened by FACS on SKMEL28 human melanoma cell line for their ability to secrete 46F2SIP. The amplification products for scFv CGS1-A1 anti-B-FN [56 (link)] and for the genomic sequence of the signal secretion leader peptide [37 (link)] were cloned in pcDNA3.1-Myc-His vector and constructs were used for the stable transfection of CHO cell line, as previously reported [36 (link)]. The 100% positive clones were cultured in serum-free power-CHO medium (Lonza) and expanded for antibodies and purification.

The ORFs of SdCPR and SdC4H were amplified using Pwo DNA polymerase (Roche). The PCR products were inserted into the expression vector pET28b (Merck Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA) using an In-fusion HD Cloning Kit (Takara Bio Inc.). E. coli BL21 (DE3) cells harboring the expression vector were grown overnight in LB medium with 50 μg mL−1 kanamycin and 1% glucose at 37 °C in a shaking incubator, then diluted 1:25 into fresh LB medium supplemented with 50 μg mL−1 kanamycin. Cells were grown at 37 °C at 200 rpm until absorbance at 600 nm reached 0.4 − 0.6, and then 1 mM isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) was added. The culture was shaking at 200 rpm at 25 °C overnight for protein expression. The bacterial cells were collected by centrifugation at 3000 rpm for 5 min at 4 °C and washed twice with 4 °C wash buffer (10 mM Tris–HCl [pH 7.5], 150 mM NaCl). Then, the washed cell pellet was suspended in the BugBuster Protein Extraction Reagent (Novagen-Merck Millipore) and His-tag recombinant proteins were purified from the supernatant using MagneHis Ni-Particles (Promega) with elution buffer containing 1 M imidazole.

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.
