Hitrap protein l column

Manufactured by GE Healthcare
Sourced in Germany

The HiTrap Protein L column is a prepacked affinity chromatography column designed for the purification of immunoglobulins (Igs) from various sample sources. The column utilizes Protein L, a bacterial cell wall protein that binds to the light chains of most Igs, allowing for the capture and isolation of Igs without the need for prior knowledge of the Ig subclass or antigen specificity.

The scFv cassette was batch-cloned as NcoI/NotI fragments from the phagemids into pFKPEN56 (link), placing the scFvs in-frame with c-myc and his-tags, and transformed into E. coli XL1-Blue (Stratagene). Individual clones were inoculated and expressed in 96-deep well plates using 400 μl culture medium for screening experiments or in either 10 ml or 200 ml cultures for larger-scale expressions. These were performed essentially as described, except that 2x YT was used as culture medium and 0.1 mM IPTG was used for induction of protein expression in small scale expressions56 (link). For 96-deep well expression 50 μl was used to re-inoculated new cultures after overnight growth. Single clones identified by screening were sequenced by GATC Biotech.
For purification of OMV-reactive scFvs, periplasmic samples were diluted 4x with PBS and pH adjusted to 7.4, before affinity purification using a HiTrap Protein L column (GE Healthcare). Proteins were eluted with 0.1 M Glycine-HCl pH 2.7 and neutralized by addition of 1 M Tris-HCl pH 8. For size exclusion chromatography, Superdex 200 Increase 10/300 GL run in PBS supplemented with 150 mM NaCl was used. pH was adjusted according to the pI of the individual samples.

Cultures were centrifuged at 6500xg at 4 °C (Avanti, Beckman Coulter). Protein-containing supernatant was incubated with His-Pur Ni-NTA resin (Thermo Fisher) for 2 h at 4 °C, mixing gently. The mixture was loaded onto a 10 ml vacuum column (Thermo Fisher) and purified according to the manual’s protocol. 1X phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) with 25 mM imidazole, pH 7.4 and PBS with 500 mM imidazole, pH 7.4 were used as a wash and elution buffers, respectively. Purified proteins were buffer-exchanged53 (link) into PBS (pH 7.4) through membrane filtration (Amicon® Ultra-4 Centrifugal Filter Units, MWCO 10 kDa, Merck). Protein samples were then loaded onto the HiTrap™ Protein L column (GE Healthcare) to achieve better purity (> 95%). Protein purities were confirmed by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis. Precision Plus Protein™ Dual Color standard was used as a marker (Bio-Rad). Protein concentration was determined by NanoDrop 2000 (absorbance at 280 nm).

Antibody was purified from ascites by HiTrap Protein A column (GE Healthcare) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, ascites was diluted in 1× phosphate buffer saline (PBS) and injected in pre-equilibrated Protein A column. The whole antibody was eluted from the column using 25 mM glycine (pH 2.2) elution buffer and then subjected to papain cleavage according to manufacturer’s instructions. In brief, whole antibody was incubated with immobilized papain (Thermo Scientific) in digestion buffer (20 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7), 10 mM EDTA, 20 mM cysteine) overnight at 37 °C which was followed by Fab purification by HiTrap Protein L column (GE Healthcare) according to manufacturer’s instructions.

Expi293F cells (Life Technologies Corporation, Carlsbad, CA) were cultured in Expi293 Expression Medium (Life Technologies Corporation, Grand Island, NY). Expi293F cells were transfected using an Expifectamine 293 Transfection kit (Gibco, Carlsbad, CA), following the manufacturer's protocol. Cells were cultured for 5 days after transfection by shaking at 250 rpm in a 37 °C incubator with 8% CO2. IgG and antibody fragments were harvested from supernatant by centrifugation at 3,000 ×g for 20 min and filtered using a 0.45 μm filter. scFv-CH3 was purified using GE Healthcare AKTA FPLC system with HiTrap Protein L column (GE healthcare, Sweden). scFv-Fc and IgG1 were purified using HiTrap MabSelect SuRe column (GE healthcare, Sweden). Further purification was performed as described for antibody fragments expressed in E. Coli. Protein sequences of antibody fragments are listed in Table S1.

Purification of HJ8.5 scFv Antibody

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HJ8.5 monoclonal antibody was raised by immunizing tau-knockout mice with htau as described previously (Yanamandra et al., 2013 (link)). This antibody recognizes amino acids 25–30 of the full-length human 1N4R sequence (Yanamandra et al., 2013 (link)). After sequencing, the variable regions were cloned and combined in one plasmid connected by a (GGGS)1-linker. A secretory signal peptide was added at the N terminus and an HA-tag at the C terminus. The different linker sequences were introduced by site-directed mutagenesis. For purification, Expi293F cells (Gibco) were grown in Expi293 Expression Medium (Gibco) to a density of 106 cells/ml before they were transiently transfected with Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen). The scFvs were affinity-purified from supernatant 4 d later by using a HiTrap Protein L column (GE Healthcare) according to the manufacturers’ instructions. After elution, the scFvs were dialyzed in PBS and concentrated with an Amicon Ultra 10K device (EMD Millipore).

Fabs were generated by papain digestion using crystallized papain (Sigma-Aldrich; Cat #1495005) in 50 mM NaPO4, 2 mM EDTA, 10 mM L-cysteine, pH 7.4 for 30–60 min at 37°C at a 1:100 enzyme:IgG ratio. Fab and partially cleaved IgG were applied on 1-mL HiTrap Protein L column (GE Healthcare Life Science; Cat #29048665). After loading, the column was washed with 10 column volumes of 10 mM NaPO4 and 150 mM NaCl at pH 7.0. The protein was eluted with 100 mM Na citrate, pH 2.5, then immediately neutralized using 2 M Tris pH 8.0. The elution fractions were pooled and dialyzed into 10 mM Hepes and 150 mM NaCl at pH 7.4. Fabs were further purified by SEC using a Superdex 200 10/300 GL column (GE Healthcare Life Sciences; Cat #17517501) in 10 mM Hepes and 150 mM NaCl at pH 7.4.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The supernatant containing biotinylated scFv was filtered through a 0.4 μm membrane filter (Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany) and loaded onto a 1x1 mL HiTrap protein L column (GE Healthcare Life Sciences) attached to an ÄKTA purifier FPLC system (GE Healthcare, Sweden). Chromatography was performed as described by Rouet et al., 2012 with several modifications. Briefly, 300 mL of supernatant was loaded onto the column previously equilibrated with 10 mL of PBS buffer (0.01 M phosphate buffer, 0.0027 M potassium chloride and 0.137 M sodium chloride, pH 7.4). The column was then washed with 20 mL of PBS, and the biotinylated scFv eluted with 10 mL of 0.1 M glycine-HCl (pH 2.7). Fractions showing OD 280 above 0.05 were manually collected in 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes prefilled with 400 mL of 200 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0).
Flow rate was maintained at 1 mL min -1 . The entire process was repeated with the remaining 300 mL of supernatant.
Recovered fractions were pooled and dialyzed against PBS buffer employing Amicon Ultra-15 Centrifugal Filter Units (Millipore) with a MWCO of 10 kDa. Protein concentration was measured in a Nanodrop (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), adjusted to 2 mg mL -1 of total protein, and stored in 100 µL aliquots at -80 ºC until further use.

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.
