Nickel chelating chromatography

Manufactured by GE Healthcare
Sourced in United States

Nickel-chelating chromatography is a technique used for the purification and separation of proteins, particularly those containing a histidine tag. It utilizes the strong interaction between nickel ions and the histidine residues on the target protein to selectively capture and isolate it from a complex mixture. The core function of this technique is to provide a simple and efficient method for the purification of recombinant proteins, enabling researchers to obtain high-purity samples for further analysis and applications.

Recombinant Vaccine Antigens Production

The experimental vaccine consisted of an oil-in-water adjuvant combined with an alginate hydrogel (proprietary adjuvant, MSD-AH). As antigenic proteins, Efb and LukM, were used (50 μg/dose each). Cows were immunized with S. carnosus derived Efb and E. coli derived LukM. S. carnosus derived Efb was also used for ELISAs, while neutralization assays were performed with E. coli derived Efb, LukM and LukF’. For expression in S. carnosus, the gene encoding efb from the S. aureus Newbould305 strain (ATCC29740) was amplified by PCR and ligated into a pXR100 derived vector. S. carnosus culture supernatant was 0.2 μm filtered, analyzed on gel for Efb purity and concentration, and stored at −20 °C. For expression in E. coli, Efb, LukM and LukF’ proteins were generated as described previously [33 (link),34 (link)]. Briefly, the efb gene of the S. aureus Newman strain and the lukm and lukf gene sequences of the S. aureus field isolate S1444 were amplified by PCR and ligated into the pRSETB vector (Invitrogen). The proteins were expressed with a six-residue N-terminal HIS-tag and purified by nickel-chelating chromatography (GE Healthcare) according to the manufacturer’s manual. Purified proteins were dialyzed against PBS and stored at −20 °C.

AE2F SOSIP.664 Nanoparticle Production

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A mammalian expression vector of AE2F SOSIP.664 was constructed by fusing a 6 × His-SpyTag sequence to the amino terminal end of AE2F SOSIP.664 sequence. The construct was transiently transfected into HEK293T cells, which were harvested 48 h later for purification of the soluble expressed 6 × His-SpyTag-AE2F SOSIP.664 proteins by nickel chelating chromatography (GE Health Care, Piscataway, NJ, USA) under native condition. VRC01 and 10E8 monoclonal antibodies were purified using Ab Spin Trap Protein G sepharose columns (GE Healthcare) following the manufacturer instructions. Protein purity was assessed by Coomassie-blue staining after separation denaturing gel electrophoresis followed by Coomassie blue staining, and the content of SpyTag-fused AE2F SOSIP.664 preparation was further analyzed by size exclusion chromatography. SpyCatcher-fused ferritin protein was kindly provided by Prof. Mingzhao Zhu (University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China). The SOSIP.664-Ferritin nanoparticles were produced by mixing SOSIP.664-SpyTag with SpyCatcher-Ferritin at a molar ratio of 1:1, and then desalted on Amicon Ultra-30 centrifugal filter (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) into PBS.

Production and Purification of HIV-1 Env Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The soluble YU2-derived gp140-F trimers (36 (link)) used as the immunogen were produced by transient transfection into Freestyle 293F suspension cells (Invitrogen) as previously described (37 (link)). The Env ligands used in the binding studies were the following trimeric proteins: gp140-F, gp120-F, gp120-F-ΔV3, gp120-F-ΔV1V2, gp140-F-D368R, and the following monomeric proteins: TriMut, TriMut-368/370, TriMut-368/370/474 and gp140-GCN4 were purified by lentil-lectin and gel filtration chromatography. The biotinylated gp140-F probe used for single cell sorting by flow cytometry was purified by lentil-lectin affinity chromatography and nickel-chelating chromatography (GE Healthcare, Uppsala, Sweden). All probes carried an Avi-tag for site-specific biotinylation at the C-termini of the proteins and biotinylation was performed with biotin ligase Bir A (Avidity, Denver, CO). All Env proteins were from the YU2 strain except the TriMut proteins, which were from HXBc2. The collagen-foldon protein was kindly received from the laboratory of Professor Rikard Holmdahl at Karolinska Institutet, recombinant Ovalbumin (Ova) protein was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and recombinant influenza hemagglutinin 1 (HA1) was produced as previously described (38 (link)).

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.
