Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primers with restriction enzyme sites BamHI and EcoRI were designed with Primer Premier 5.0 (Table 1), and the coding region of PyasOBP2 without the signal peptide was amplified with PCR. The PCR products were ligated into the pMD®19-T vector, transformed into DH5α competent cells (TaKaRa Co., Dalian, China) and then sequenced. The correct pMD®19-T plasmids were digested by restriction enzymes (BamHI and EcoRI) (TaKaRa) for 1–2 h at 37°C, cloned into the digested pET32a vector, and then transformed into DH5α cells. The correct recombinant plasmids were transformed into BL21 (DE3) competent cells (TaKaRa). Single colonies were cultured in liquid LB (supplemented with 100 mg/ml ampicillin) overnight at 37°C.

According to the encoding sequence of H. parasuis OppA protein (GenBank accession No. ACL32731.1), a pair of primers was designed to amplify a 288 bp fragment (Forward: 5′-AAAGGATCCTCAGTATTCGGTAACGACTTAGA-3′, Reversed: 5′-AAACTCGAGACCTGTGGTTGATAATGGTT-3′). The fragment was cloned into pET32a (+) vector (Novagen, USA) to construct the recombinant plasmids. The expression plasmid was transformed into BL21 (DE3) competent cells (Takara, China), followed by the addition of 1 mM IPTG (GE Healthcare, USA) for induction.

Escherichia coli (E. coli) DH5α competent cells and BL21 (DE3) competent cells (Takara, Japan) were used for cloning and expressing RTA proteins, respectively and were grown at 37 °C in LB medium containing 50 μg/mL kanamycin.
The APP serotype 1 reference strain Shope 4074 (APP 1, CVCC259) and APP serotype 5 reference strain L20 (APP 5b L20, CVCC263) were donated by the Shanghai Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau. They were used for the challenge experiment and cultured in brain heart infusion (BHI, USA) medium supplemented with 10 µg/mL NAD (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) at 37 °C for 6 h with shaking at 180 rpm.

Y. ruckeri YRWEL01, a fish pathogen isolated from dying channel catfish in Sichuan province of China, was cultured in Brain-Heart Infusion (BHI) medium at 28°C and stored at our laboratory (17 (link)). Escherichia coli strains DH5α and BL21 (DE3) competent cells (Takara; Dalian, China) served as cloning and protein expression host, respectively. Both strains were grown in Luria-Bertani medium containing 100 μg/ml of ampicillin (Amp) at 37°C. Plasmids pMD19-T (Takara) and pET32a (+) (Merck, Germany) served as cloning and expression vectors, respectively. Montanide™ ISA763 A VG (Seppic, France) was selected for use as an adjuvant for the experiment.

HEK-293T cells were purchased from American type culture collection (ATCC) and maintained in D10 medium – Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM, Corning) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (GeminiBio) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin/L-glutamine (GeminiBio). HeLa-ACE2/TMPRSS2 cells were a generous gift from Dr. Jesse Bloom at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and were maintained in D10 media. Expi-293F cells were purchased from Thermo Fisher and maintained in Freestyle293/Expi-293 media (2:1, v/v, Thermo Fisher) in polycarbonate shaking flasks (Triforest Labware). Stellar and BL21(DE3) competent cells were purchased from Takara Bio and Thermo Fisher, respectively.

By using gene-specific primers with the restriction enzyme sites (F-5'-CGCGAATTCATGTTGCTGTTGTTGCGCGC-3', R-5'-CCGCTCGAGTCAGCGCGCCTCAGCCTCCA-3'), the sequence encoding SlitOBP1 was amplified with ExTaq DNA polymerase (TaKaRa, Japan). By T4 DNA ligase (Takara, China), the PCR product was connected to pET28a (Invitrogen, US) and then transformed to BL21 (DE3) competent cells (Takara, China). After the identification by PCR, the positive clone was inoculated in liquid LB overnight at 37 ℃. When its OD600 reached 0.4-0.6, 1 mM Isopropyl-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG) was added to incubate for another 12 h at 28 ℃. The total protein was purified from the supernatant by affinity chromatography using HisTrap columns (GE Healthcare). After dialysis in Tris-HCl (pH=7.4) overnight, the Bovine Enterokinase was used to remove the His-tag. The purified protein was collected and examined by 12% SDS-PAGE and Western blot. Bradford method was used to determine protein concentration 32 (link).

The constructed prokaryotic expression recombinant vector pET-28a-FUT3 plasmid was transformed into BL21 (DE3) competent cells (Takara Biomedical Technology). PET-28a-FUT3 bacteria induced by IPTG (Beijing Solarbio Science& Technology Co., Ltd., China) were sonicated at 75% power until the solution was clear and transparent. His-tagged FUT3 protein purification was performed with a His-tag purification nickel column kit (Beijing ComWin Biotech Co., Ltd., China). His pull-down assays were performed after incubating 10 μg His-FUT3 and Ni-NTA agarose (QIAGEN, Hilden, NRW, Germany). The protein was detected by Western blot. The protein complexes were analyzed and identified by LC-MS/MS protein profiling.

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.
