The sequence encoding HLA‐B*18:01 heavy chain was obtained from the IPD‐IMGT/HLA database.
14 (link) The cDNA construct for the soluble protein insert, excluding the transmembrane domain, was sub‐cloned into the pET30 plasmid vector using NedI/HindIII restriction enzymes (GenScript, Piscataway, USA). The recombinant protein and human β2‐microglobulin (β2m) were then individually expressed in BL21‐RIL Escherichia coli cells, resulting in inclusion bodies that were extracted and purified through centrifugation.
49 (link) The peptides described in this study were chemically synthesised (GenScript; Tables 1 and 2). Refolding was performed using 5 mg of peptide, 30 mg of HLA‐B*18:01 heavy chain and 10 mg of β2m in refolding buffer [3 m Urea (ThermoFisher, Scoresby, VIC, Australia), 0.4 m l‐Arginine, (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) 0.1 m Tris–HCl pH 8 (ThermoFisher), 2 mm Na‐EDTA pH 8 (Merck), 0.16% w/v reduced Glutathione (Goldbio, St Louis, USA) and 0.03% w/v oxidised Glutathione (Goldbio)]. This solution was dialyzed in 10 mM Tris–HCl pH 8 (ThermoFisher) and the peptide‐HLA‐B*18:01 complexes were purified using a two‐stage anion exchange chromatography (Cytiva, Marlborough, Massachusetts, USA).

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).

Sample IDs were recoded and all samples were randomized before biotinylation. Biotinylation steps were performed on ice or at 4°C in a Nunc™ 96-well polypropylene plate (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, USA). Briefly, crude serum samples were centrifuged at 16 000 × g, and 10 μl cleared serum was diluted in PBS (D-PBS-Sterile w/o Mg, Ca, GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Marlborough, USA) after which 2.56 mM Biotin (EZ-LinkTM NHS-PEG4-Biotin, Thermo Fisher Scientific) solution diluted in PBS (GE Healthcare Life Sciences) was added, to a final biotin concentration of 1.13 mM. The reaction was terminated after 2 hours by adding 0.5 M Tris-HCl pH 8.0 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) to a final concentration of 181 mM. For each biotinylation plate, three replicates of a reference serum sample (ERM-DA470k/IFCC) [15 (link)] were included as process control. Biotinylated samples were aliquoted and stored at −80°C.

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.
