Transient Expression and Purification of Antibodies and Viral Proteins

To express Abs, the corresponding heavy chain and light chain plasmids were transiently transfected into the Expi293 cell (Life Technologies) at 3 × 106 cells/ml with FectoPRO PolyPlus transfection reagent (Polyplus, catalog no. 116–040). To boost the protein yield, we fed cells with 300 mM sodium valproic acid solution and glucose solution 1 day after transfection. To purify mAbs, the supernatants were harvested 4 days after transfection. To express the soluble S ectodomain proteins from SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2, and their truncations, plasmids were transfected into human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293F cells (Life Technologies) at 1 million cells/ml. For 1 liter of HEK293F transfection, we combined 350 μg of plasmids with 16 ml of transfectagro (Corning) and filtered with 0.22-μm Steriflip Sterile Disposable Vacuum Filter Units (Millipore Sigma). The 1.8 ml of 40K polyethylenimine (PEI) (1mg/ml) was mixed into 16 ml of transfectagro in another conical tube. The filtered plasmid solution was gently combined with the mixed PEI solution by inverting the tube several times. After resting at room temperature for 30 min, the mixture was poured into 1 liter of HEK293F cells. The supernatant was centrifuged and filtered with 0.22-μm membrane to a glass bottle 5 days after transfection.

The spike proteins of each tested virus were cloned into a plasmid expression vector with each protein’s endoplasmic reticulum retrieval signal removed. These plasmids were co-transfected with MLV (murine leukemia virus)-CMV (cytomegalovirus) luciferase and MLV Gag/Pol plasmids into HEK-293T cells (ATCC CRL-3216) using Lipofectamine 2000 (Thermo Fisher 11668019) transfection reagent following the manufacturer’s recommended protocol. 16 hours after transfection, cell media was replaced with fresh warm cell media (DMEM (Corning 10–017-CV) with 10% FBS (Omega Scientific NC0471611), 1% L-glutamine (Corning 25–005-CI), and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Corning 30–002-CI)). 48 hours after transfection, supernatant was collected and filtered using 0.22 μm Steriflip Sterile Disposable Vacuum Filter Units (MilliporeSigma SCGP00525) and the resulting pseudoviruses were stored at −80 °C for later 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.
