Recombinant Expression of Marwari Horse IL-4 and IL-10

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Coding sequences of Marwari horse mature IL-4 and IL-10 gene [16 ] were subcloned into Sac I and Hind III (Thermo Scientific FastDigest, UK) restricted prokaryotic expression vector pQE30 (Qiagen, Germany). The recombinant pQE30 vectors with respective IL-4 and IL-10 insert were transformed in Escherichia coli M15 competent cells prepared by Z-competent™ E. coli transformation kit (Zymo Research, USA). Positive clones were selected on Luria Bertani agar (LBA) plates supplemented with kanamycin (30 μg/ml) and ampicillin (50 μg/ml) (HiMedia, India) and screened by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Briefly, 10 colonies were randomly picked and were grown in 5 ml of LB broth at 37°C at 170 rpm. At mid-log phase (approximate O.D600 0.6), 1 mM isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG) (Promega, USA) was added to culture and was further incubated for 3-6 h. Samples from bacterial cells were prepared as per standard protocol [17 ] and run on 12% SDS-PAGE. The gel was stained by Coomassie brilliant blue dye and protein band was visualized by destaining. For further confirmation of insert, two positive recombinant clones were sequenced by Sanger method (Eurofins genomics, India) and sequences were verified by NCBI-BLAST (https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi) program.

Recombinant HSP40 Protein Production

The pET30a-HSP40 plasmid was constructed using the same method and primers used to construct the pVAX1-HSP40 plasmid above. This pET30a-HSP40 plasmid was transfected into Escherichia coli BL21 competent cells by heat shock at 42 °C for 1.5 min, and was induced to express the rHSP40 protein in vitro using isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG, Promega, Fitchburg, Wisconsin, USA). The products with 6-His tag were purified by Ni-NTA His Bind® Resin (Novagen, Madison, Wisconsin, USA). The purified rHSP40 protein was used to coat the wells of the 96-well plates in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to measure the concentrations of specific anti-rHSP40 antibodies.

Metabolite Production in E. coli

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Overnight cultures were inoculated 1% in 5 ml M9P in 15 ml screw-cap culture tubes. Cells were grown to a D600 nm of ~0.4 at 37 °C in a rotary shaker (250 r.p.m.), followed by adding 1 mM isopropyl-β-d-thio-galactoside (IPTG) (Promega). The cultures were incubated for 1 h after induction at 30 °C. Then metabolites of interest were added to the cultures. Production was performed at 30 °C in a rotary shaker (250 r.p.m.) for 24 h. Screw-cap tubes were tightly sealed to prevent evaporation of products. 1.5 ml of culture was taken for analysis every 24 h. The 1.5 ml of the cultures were centrifuged at 17,000g for 3 min, and then 1 ml of the supernatants were transferred to 2-ml GC vials for GC analysis. Excretion of small products such as alcohols and acids by E. coli is well known8 (link),9 (link),18 (link).

Recombinant Protein Expression in E. coli

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The plasmid pGEX-EG95NC -was transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3). Culture of recombinant E. coli was performed in shake flasks. In order to provide the optimum conditions for aeration and mixing, the culture volume represented 20% of the total flask volume. Luria broth medium (LB) containing 100 µg/ml of ampicillin (Serva) was inoculated with the recombinant E. coli and incubated in a shaker incubator (MaxQ 4000, ThermoScientific) at 37°C, 200 rpm for 14 h. Cell density was measured until the OD (595nm) reached approximately 0.8-1 unit and dilution made for the second passage at OD 0.05 in LB medium containing ampicillin 100 µg/ml, followed by incubated with shaking.
Protein expression was induced by addition of isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG, Promega) at a concentration of 0.5 mM. Assessment of levels of recombinant protein expression was performed for 5h every hour during cultivation, E. coli cell suspensions were centrifuged at 3500g (1-15PK; SIGMA). The culture supernatant was discarded and bacterial pellets suspended in loading buffer (Tris 50 mM, Glycine 200 mM, SDS 0.1 %, beta mercaptoethanol 5%, pH 8.3) and lysed in a water bath at 95°C for 5min before chilling on ice for SDS-PAGE analysis (Fig. 3).

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.
