BG505 SOSIP.664 gp140, BG505 SOSIP.664-His gp140, and BG505 SOSIP.664-avi gp140 were expressed in HEK293F (Invitrogen) as described previously14 (link). Briefly, HEK293F cells were maintained in FreeStyle medium (Invitrogen). For gp140 trimer production, HEK293F cells were seeded at a density of 0.5×106/mL. After 24 h, cells were transfected with 1 mg of 293Fectin (Invitrogen) with 300 μg of Env plasmid and 75 μg of furin plasmid in OPTI-MEM according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Supernatants were purified using a Galanthus nivalis lectin (Vector Labs) column and protein was eluted with 1M methyl-α-D-mannopyranoside (MMP, Sigma). Following buffer exchange into PBS, only trimers with AviTags were in vitro biotinylated using the BirA enzyme according to the manufacturer protocol (Avidity). The affinity-purified Env proteins were further purified to size homogeneity using size exclusion chromatography (SEC) on a Superose 6 10/300 GL column (GE Healthcare) in PBS. The trimer fractions were collected and pooled and protein concentrations were determined using either a bicinchonic acid-based assay (Thermo Scientific) or UV280 absorbance using theoretical extinction coefficients.

Plant-Derived Protein Purification

The aerial parts of the plants were harvested 5 days post agroinfiltration and homogenized in two buffer volumes of PBS (Lonza), supplemented with cOmplete EDTA-free protease inhibitor (Roche). The crude homogenate was incubated for 1 h, at 4°C, with shaking and then filtered through four layers of Miracloth (Merck). The crude plant sap was then clarified by sequential centrifugation steps; twice at 15,344 × g for 20 min and then again at 17,000 × g for 20 min. The supernatant was vacuum-filtered through a 0.45 µM Stericup-GP device (Merck Millipore) and applied to a Galanthuis nivalis lectin (GNL) column (Sigma) with a 0.5–1 ml/min flow rate. The column was sequentially washed with 100 ml of 0.5 M NaCl and then 100 ml of PBS (Lonza). The proteins were eluted in 1 M methyl α-D-manno-pyranoside (MMP) (Sigma), buffer exchanged into PBS and then concentrated using a Vivaspin Protein Concentrator with a 30 kDa cut-off (GE Healthcare). The purified proteins were quantified using the DC Protein Assay (Bio-Rad).

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.
