Example 3

Binding and display of EGFR1 antibody by minicells expressing the Fc binding portion of Protein A or Protein G. Minicells (1e09) purified from strain VAX13B7 (Protein A-displaying), VAX13C4 (Protein G-displaying), and VAX12B5 (negative control) were incubated with 1 microgram each without (−) or with (+) a mouse monoclonal IgG antibody against human EGFR1 (mAb528) for 1 hour at room temperature to allow antibodies to bind to the minicells. After incubation, minicells were washed three times each with 1 mL of PBS (pH 7.4) to remove any unbound antibody. Minicells (1e08) were then analyzed by Western blot using an HRP-conjugated rabbit anti-mouse polyclonal antibody as the secondary antibody. The Western Blot is shown in FIG. 4. Specific binding of the secondary antibody was visualized using an Amersham ECL Detection Kit (GE Healthcare). Mouse anti-EGFR antibody (100 ng) was loaded as a positive control (lane after 12B5).

As shown in FIG. 4, the Fc region of the HRP-conjugated rabbit anti-mouse secondary antibody was bound by the Protein A and Protein G fusion proteins in the 13B7 and 13C4 minicells (49.1 kDa and 38.5 kDa, respectively), independent of the EGFR1 antibody. In addition, the Fab region of the secondary antibody binds to and detects the intact EGFR1 antibody (˜150 kDa) bound to the 13B7 and 13C4 minicells.

Nuclear extracts (200 µg each) were diluted with an equal volume of gradient buffer (G150: 20 mM HEPES pH 7.9, 150 Mm NaCl, 1.5 mM MgCl2 and 0.5 mM DTT) and sedimented on linear 4 ml 10-30% (v/v) glycerol gradients in the G150 buffer. After ultracentrifugation in a Sorvall TH-660 rotor for 14 h at 29,000 rpm (114,000 × g), the gradients were separated into 24 fractions. To analyse the relative levels of snRNPs in the nuclear extracts, proteins in the gradient fractions were digested by Proteinase K in 20 mM HEPES pH 7.9, 150 mMNaCl, 10 mM EDTA, 1% (w/v) SDS for 45 min at 42 °C, the RNAs were extracted by phenol/chloroform/isoamylalcohol and precipitated. The isolated RNAs were separated by denaturing 8% urea PAGE followed by Northern blotting using 5′-end radiolabeled DNA probes against U1, U2, U4, U6 and U5 snRNAs. To analyse the association of selected splicing proteins with the tri-snRNP, proteins were precipitated from gradient fractions and separated on NuPAGE 4−12% Bis–Tris gels (Invitrogen) followed by blotting and immunostaining using antibodies against PRPF8, Brr2, Snu114, PRPF31 (against its C terminus), PRPF4 and SF3b155, and the Amersham ECL detection kit (GE Healthcare). All antibody details are shown in Supplementary Data 6.

Yeast cells producing FL or truncated variants of Brr2 were grown in YPD medium at 30°C, and whole-cell extracts were prepared as described (Umen and Guthrie 1995 (link)). Cell extracts were incubated in the absence or presence of 2 mM ATP/MgCl2 for 30 min at 23°C, diluted with an equal volume of the G100 buffer (20 mM HEPES-KOH at pH 7.0, 100 mM KCl, 0.2 mM EDTA), and sedimented on 10%–30% (v/v) glycerol gradients in G100 buffer. The gradients were ultracentrifuged in a Sorvall TST41.14 rotor at 37,000 rpm for 15 h and separated into 27 fractions.
The distributions of Brr2 variants and Snu114 across the gradient fractions were monitored by Western blotting of gradient fractions and immunostaining using antibodies against Brr2 and Snu114 and the Amersham ECL detection kit (GE Healthcare) as previously described (Liu et al. 2015 (link)). To analyze relative levels of snRNPs in cell extracts, proteins in the gradient fractions were digested by proteinase K for 45 min at 37°C in the gradient buffer supplemented with 150 mM NaCl, 10 mM EDTA, and 1% (w/v) SDS. The RNAs were extracted by phenol/chloroform/isoamylalcohol, precipitated by ethanol, and separated by denaturing 8% PAGE followed by Northern blotting using 5′ end radiolabeled DNA probes against U4, U6, and U5 snRNAs (Mozaffari-Jovin et al. 2013 (link)).

Cells were lysed in lysis buffer II (25 mM Tris pH 7.5, 120 mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, 1% PSMF, 1 mM NOV, 1 mM Leupeptin) for 1 hour on ice. After centrifugation the protein concentration of the collected supernatants was determined by applying the BCA-assay using bovine serum albumin as standard (Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit, Thermo Fisher Scientific).
Western blot analysis was accomplished according to standard procedures using 10 μg of cellular protein and a volume of 12 μl exosome lysate corresponding to the exosome amount in 30 ml conditioned medium for SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Separated proteins were blotted on nitrocellulose membranes and incubated with primary antibodies directed against CD63 (sc15363, SantaCruz), HSP70 (MA3-007, Affinity Bioreagents), actin (SAB1305567, SIGMA-Aldrich Chemie) and calnexin (sc11397, SantaCruz).

MCF7 cells were serum-starved in phenol red–free RPMI 1640 containing 10% CSS for 5 days. The cells were then seeded onto a six-well plate at a density of 6 × 105 cells/well and treated the following day with the test compounds in the presence of 1 nM E2. After 24 hours, the medium was aspirated, and the cells were washed with ice-cold phosphate-buffered saline. Cells were lysed in 1× radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer containing one tablet of cOmplete protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche Life Science, Indianapolis, IN, USA). Cell debris was pelleted by centrifugation at 15,000 g for 10 minutes at 4°C. The supernatants were collected and quantified using the BCA assay. In each case, 25 μg of protein was loaded onto 15% (v/v) SDS-PAGE gels, separated and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membrane. Membranes were incubated with pS2, cathepsin D and CDC2 antibodies or control α-actin antibody. Bound antibodies were detected using horseradish peroxidase–conjugated secondary antibodies. Chemiluminescence was detected with an Amersham ECL detection kit (GE Healthcare Life Sciences), and bands were visualised using the G:BOX imager (Syngene, Frederick, MD, USA).

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.
