Pyolysin protein (628,338 HU/mg protein) was generated and purified from the plo plasmid pGS5910 (link),13 (link). Streptolysin O was stored as 1 mg/ml solution and activated with 10 mM dithiothreitol, and Staphylococcus aureus α-hemolysin was stored as 0.5 mg/ml solution according to the manufacturer’s instructions (all Merck).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The plo plasmid (pGS59) was a gift from Dr H Jost (University of Arizona), and the pyolysin protein was generated and purified as described previously, with a specific activity of 628,338 hemolytic units (HU)/mg protein (21 (link), 30 (link)). Streptolysin O was purchased, stored as a 1 mg/ml solution, and activated with 10 mM dithiothreitol according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Merck). Staphylococcus aureus α-hemolysin was purchased and stored as a 0.5 mg/ml solution, according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Merck).

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.
