Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A pSfi FLAG-Tag expression vector was used to assemble the sequence of the IgG1-format LRPAP1 BAR body (Supplemental Digital Figure 5, http://links.lww.com/HS/A179). The pSfi FLAG-Tag vector was generated from the pEGFP-C1 vector of Clontech (Mountain View, CA) by removing the eGFP ORF and replacing it with a FLAG-Tag. An IgG1 sequence comprising a heavy chain variable region, the heavy chain constant regions CH1-CH3, a furin cleavage site, an autoproteolytic 2A peptide sequence, a light chain variable and a constant region30 (link) was used as template. VH and VL were exchanged with the sequence of LRPAP1 that had been tested as Fab-format BAR body and selected for further experiments (Version A, amino acids 263–350) containing the MCL reactive epitope (amino acids 264–318). Primers and restriction sites used are listed in Table 3. Restriction enzymes MunI and BstEII (ThermoFisher Scientific) were used to replace the VH region with the LRPAP1 fragment (amino acids 263–350) and AgeI and SmaI were used to integrate amino acids 263–350 of LRPAP1 into the VL region.

Constructing Chimeric HIV Virus

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To construct the chimeric virus, vector pNL4-3∆gag/PR was used as the backbone vector. This vector was constructed by the insertion of the specific restriction enzyme BstEII at the 5′ end of the gag gene, and at 45 bases downstream from the 3′ end of the PR gene using the QuikChange II Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit site (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA, USA). The backbone vector was treated with BstEII (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA) to remove the wild-type gag/PR and allow the vector to self-ligate. Then, the stock backbone vector was prepared by transformation into Top 10 Escherichia coli competent cells. The bacterial cells were spread on Luria–Bertani (LB) agar containing 100 µg/mL of ampicillin (Gibco). A Hi-Speed Plasmid Maxi Kit (Qiagen) was used to extract and purify the backbone vector [26 (link)].

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After amplification of the CDS of GmCDPK3, the restriction site sequences (NcoI and BsTEII) and gene-specific primers were ligated to the end of GmCDPK3. The PCR products and the pCAMBIA3301 vector were digested with NcoI and BsTEII (ThermoFisher Scientific, USA), respectively, and the product was ligated to obtain pCAMBIA3301-GmCDPK3 [44 (link),50 (link)]. The RNAi sequence was selected on the sense strand encoding the mRNA, the sense strand and the antisense strand of the selected interference sequence were inserted before and after the sequence, and the non-coding sequence (153 bp) from maize was inserted in the middle to form a large hairpin structure. The structure was clipped to cause the gene to be disturbed without expression. After selecting the sequence, it was submitted to the AUGCT company (Beijing, China) for synthesis and testing. The RNAi sequence and the pCAMBIA3301 vector were digested with NcoI and BsTEII, respectively, and the product was ligated to obtain pCAMBIA3301-GmCDPK3i.

Recombinant Expression of sdAb-SFP Constructs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The sequence of the anti-MMR sdAb clone 1 and anti-β-lactamase sdAb (a.k.a. BCII10) was previously described [41] (link). The genes encoding for these sdAbs were recloned from the pHEN4 vector in the bacterial expression vector pHEN6 using restriction enzymes PstI and BstEII (Thermo Fisher Scientific). This vector was a kind gift of Steve Schoonooghe and contains a human immunoglobulin A (hIgA) based hinge (GSPSTPPTPSPSTPPASG) coupled to mWasabi (wasabi green, WG, Sequence from Addgene, the nonprofit plasmid repository). In addition, a haemagglutinin tag (YPYDVPDYA) for detection and HIS6 tag (HHHHHH) for immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) purification are present. To generate the tSMAC-SFPs, WG was removed from the pHEN6 vector and replaced with the gBlock® Gene fragment (Integrated DNA Technologies, Leuven, Belgium) encoding for tSMAC using the restriction enzymes EcoRI and BamHi (New England BioLabs, Leiden, The Netherlands) and the Gibson Assembly Master Mix (New England BioLabs). The resulting pHEN6 WG or tSMAC-SFP plasmids were transformed with the Transform Aid Bacterial Transformation Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) in E. coli WK6 cells allowing the selection of recombinant clones in the presence of 100 μg/mL ampicillin (S.A. Bristol-Myers Squib, Brussels, Belgium) enriched agar plates.
