Size exclusion chromatography

Manufactured by GE Healthcare
Sourced in Sweden

Size exclusion chromatography is a technique used to separate molecules based on their size and shape. It allows the separation and purification of macromolecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and polymers, from smaller molecules or ions present in a sample. The process involves passing the sample through a porous gel matrix, where larger molecules elute faster than smaller ones, enabling their separation and isolation.

The expression of pZIP4-ECD was induced by 0.2 mM IPTG at OD600∼0.6 in the strain of Origami B(DE3) pLysS (Novagen) in lysogeny broth medium. pZIP4-ECD was purified using nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) column. After removing the N-terminal His6-tag by thrombin, the protein was further purified by ion exchange chromatography on a Mono-Q column and then by size exclusion chromatography (GE Healthcare). The purified protein was concentrated to 10 mg ml−1 and crystallized by using the sitting-drop method. Leaf-shaped crystals showed up within 2 days in 100 mM MES, 100 mM NH4Cl, 17% PGE 3350, pH 6.5 at 21 °C and grew to full size in 1 week. The crystals were cryo-protected by soaking in 30% of PEG 3350 for a few minutes and flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen. The preparation and crystallization of selenomethionine-substituted protein were the same as the native protein. Expression and purification of pZIP14-ECD was the same as pZIP4-ECD.

Example 29

Two CFXTEN constructs with C-terminal XTEN were utilized to establish a purification method. For both pBC0145 with a C-terminal XTEN of 288 amino acids of the AE family (see sequence in Table 21) and pBC0146 with a C-terminal XTEN of 288 amino acids of the AG family (see sequence in Table 21), a tangential flow filtration (TFF) step was used to buffer exchange the clarified conditioned media from cell culture. Products were then captured using a strong anion exchange chromatography resin, and then further purified using VIIISelect affinity chromatography (GE Healthcare). An additional size exclusion chromatography (GE Healthcare) was applied to FVIII-pBC0146 as a third polish step to remove high molecule weight species. The purity of both fusion proteins was deemed acceptable by HPLC-SEC and was further confirmed by SDS-PAGE analysis of the two CFXTEN constructs showing CFXTEN products at expected sizes. The specific activity of both molecules was comparable to B-domain deleted FVIII, as measured by aPTT coagulation assay and ELISA determination of FVIII concentration.

Nanobodies were expressed and purified as reported previously31 (link)–33 (link),63 (link). Briefly, bacteria were grown in terrific broth at 37 °C overnight. The following day, a 1:100 culture was grown until an OD of 0.7–0.9 and then induced with 1 mM IPTG. After 20–24 h of shaking at 25 °C, E. coli were pelleted and resuspended in SET buffer (200 mM Tris, pH 8.0, 500 mM sucrose, 0.5 mM EDTA, 1X cOmplete protease inhibitor (Sigma)) for 30 min at room temperature. Following equilibration, bacteria were osmotically lysed with the addition of 2x volume of deionized water rocked for 45 min. Prior to centrifugation at 17,000×g for 20 min, NaCl was added to 150 mM, MgCl2 to 2 mM, and imidazole to 20 mM. The periplasmic fraction was filtered with a 0.22 μm filter and incubated with 4 mL 50% Ni-NTA resin equilibrated in wash buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 40 mM imidazole) (Qiagen) per liter of initial bacterial culture. Supernatant and resin were incubated, rocking for an hour, and then pelleted at 50×g for 1 min. Ni-NTA resin was washed with 10 volumes of wash buffer before elution (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 250 mM imidazole). Eluted protein was concentrated with 3 kDa MWCO filters (Amicon) before size-exclusion chromatography (GE Healthcare). Proteins were stable at 4 °C.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Nonlipidated recombinant fHBP (rP2086) variants were expressed and purified as previously described (25 (link)). Mutations in the MN86-994-11 binding epitope were introduced by site-directed mutagenesis. In this case, a His-tagged version of rP2086-B01 cloned into plasmid vector pET30a was used as the mutagenesis template to facilitate the purification of recombinant mutants. A mutagenesis kit was used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions (QuikChange; Agilent), mutagenic oligonucleotides used in the reaction were designed with the QuikChange Primer Design Program, and the presence of intended mutations and the absence of secondary mutations were confirmed by DNA sequencing. Mutant proteins expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) were purified by Ni Sepharose affinity chromatography and size exclusion chromatography (GE Healthcare). All CD and ITC experiments were done with 1× PBS, pH 7.4. Protein and antibody samples were thoroughly dialyzed against experimental buffer. Concentrations of rP2086-B01 and MN86-994-11 were determined spectrophotometrically by using extinction coefficients of 0.363 and 1.4 (mg/ml)−1 cm−1 at 280 nm, respectively. Light scattering was taken into account as previously described (42 (link)).

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.
