DNA plasmids encoding HLA‐A*03:01 α‐chain and β2‐microglobulin were transformed separately into a BL21 strain of Escherichia Coli, as previously described.63 Recombinant proteins were expressed individually, where inclusion bodies were extracted and purified from the transformed E. coli cells. Soluble pHLA complexes were produced by refolding 30 mg of HLA‐A*03:01 with 10 mg of β‐2‐microglobulin and 5 mg of either NP265‐IAV, NP323‐IBV or NP270‐ICV peptide (Genscript, Piscataway, USA) into a buffer of 3 m Urea (Univar solutions, USA), 0.5 mL‐Arginine (Sigma‐Aldrich), 0.1 m Tris–HCl pH 8.0 (Fisher Bioreagents), 2.5 mm EDTA pH 8.0 (Sigma‐Aldrich, St Louis, USA), 5 mm Glutathione (reduced) (Goldbio, St Louis, USA) and 1.25 mm Glutathione (oxidised; Goldbio) for 3 h. The refold mixture was dialysed into 10 mm Tris–HCl pH 8.0 (Fisher Bioreagents), and soluble pHLA was purified using anion exchange chromatography using a HiTrapQ column (GE Healthcare).

pET-30a(+) DNA plasmids encoding HLA-B*15:01 α-chain and human β2-microglobulin were transformed separately into BL21 E. coli and expressed. Inclusion bodies containing the individually expressed recombinant proteins were extracted, purified, and quantified as previously described.35 (link) Soluble peptide-HLA-B*15:01 complexes were produced by refolding 30 mg of HLA-B*15:01 α-chain with 10 mg of β2-microglobulin and 5 mg of peptide (Genscript, Piscataway, USA) into a buffer of 0.5 M L-Arginine (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, USA), 0.1 M Tris-HCl pH 8.0 (Fisher Bioreagents, Waltham, USA), 2.5 mM EDTA pH 8.0 (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, USA), 5 mM Glutathione (reduced) (Goldbio, St Louis, USA), 1.25 mM Glutathione (Goldbio, St Louis, USA). The peptides selected are summarized in Table 1. The refold mixture was dialyzed at 4°C in 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0 (3 times for 12 hours) and soluble pHLA complexes were purified via anion exchange chromatography.

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.
