Protein Expression and Purification.

The recombinant proteins expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli) BL21 (DE3) RIPL cells were purified according to previously described protocols10, 12. Influenza HA4900 was purified from HEK293F suspension cells (Thermo Fisher Scientific®, MA) according to previous reports31. Briefly, the pAAV-ITRs-HA4900 plasmid was transiently transduced into HEK293F cells maintained in FreeStyle® 293 expression medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific®, MA) using the 293Fectin™ transfection reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific®, MA). The cells were then incubated at 37° C. and 8% CO2 while shaking at 130 rpm overnight. After 12 h, an equal volume of fresh medium supplemented with sodium butyrate solution (enhancing protein expression, 2 nM final concentration) (Sigma-Aldrich®, MO) was added to the cells. On day 7, the pure supernatants were harvested by centrifugation and filtered over 0.22-μm filters (Sartorius Stedim Biotech, Germany). Proteins were purified using HisTrapHP and gel filtration columns (GE Healthcare™, IL).

PHEV was purified by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The virus was first purified over 30%, 45%, and 60% sucrose cushions in an ultracentrifuge (CP100WX; Hitachi) at 80,000 × g for 4 h at 4°C, and then the virus was exchanged into PBS through cycles of concentration by centrifugation (20,000 × g, 2 h, 4°C) and dilution with PBS. Purified PHEV was freshly labeled with the lipophilic fluorescent dye DiD (4-chlorobenzenesulfonate salt; Life Technologies), a dialkylcarbocyanine analog that has markedly red-shifted fluorescence excitation and emission spectra and is widely used as a labeled tracer in living or fixed cells. Briefly, the PHEV stock solution was mixed with DiD for 10 min, and the free dye was removed using gel filtration columns (GE Healthcare) and HS buffer (2.5 mM HEPES, 145 mM NaCl). The Neuro-2a cells were infected with DiD-PHEV, and images were obtained and analyzed using a confocal microscope.

The recombinant proteins expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) RIPL cells were purified according to previously described protocols (10 (link), 12 (link)). Influenza HA4900 was purified from HEK293F suspension cells (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA) according to previous reports (31 (link)). Briefly, the pAAV-ITRs-HA4900 plasmid was transiently transduced into HEK293F cells maintained in FreeStyle 293 expression medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA) using the 293fectin Transfection Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA). The cells were then incubated at 37°C and 8% CO2 while shaking at 130 rpm overnight. After 12 hours, an equal volume of fresh medium supplemented with sodium butyrate solution (enhancing protein expression; 2 nM final concentration) (Sigma-Aldrich, MO) was added to the cells. On day 7, the culture supernatants were harvested by centrifugation and filtered over 0.22-μm filters (Sartorius Stedim Biotech, Germany). Proteins were purified using HisTrap HP and gel filtration columns (GE Healthcare, IL).

WSSV virions were freshly labeled with the lipophilic fluorescent dye DiD (4-chlorobenzenesulfonate salt; Life Technologies) as previously described54 (link) with slight modifications. Briefly, the WSSV stock solution was mixed with DiD for 10 min and the free dye was removed using gel filtration columns (GE Healthcare) in HS buffer (2.5 mM HEPES, 145 mM NaCl). The Hpt cells were infected with DiD-WSSV (MOI of 20), and images were obtained and analyzed using an iCys laser-scanning cytometer (Beckman), which could automatically identify the target fluorescent signal events through proper contouring as described in the references55 (link)56 (link).

Recombinant Expression of NiV V Protein

The gene encoding the
NiV V protein (accession AAK50551) was codon-optimized for expression
in E. coli (GeneScript, NJ) prior to
subcloning into a modified pET15b plasmid containing a maltose-binding
protein (MBP) tag followed by a His6 tag. MDA5 and MDA5SF2 were amplified from human complementary DNA by polymerase
chain reaction. All sequences were confirmed with Sanger sequencing.
Recombinant proteins were expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3) cells at 18 °C for 16 h with 0.25 mM IPTG induction.
Cells were pelleted down by centrifugation and re-suspended in lysis
buffer containing 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 300 mM NaCl, and protease
inhibitors prior to lysis with an EmulsiFlex-C5 homogenizer (Avestin,
Canada). Lysate was clarified by centrifugation at 60,000g and then used for pulldown assays or further protein purification
using a series of affinity, ion exchange, and gel filtration columns
(GE Healthcare, IL). The MBP-tag on MDA5SF2 was cleaved
using TEV protease and removed by affinity purification. Final protein
samples were assessed by SDS-PAGE.

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.
