Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The ORFs of GlPGM1 and GlPGM3 were amplified, as mentioned above, and then cloned into the pMD18-T vector (Takara, Dalian, China) for sequencing (Youkang Biotech, Hangzhou, China). The GlPGM1 and GlPGM3 from the pMD18-T vector were then cut, using restriction endonuclease and cloned into expression vector pET-28a (+) (Takara, Dalian, China) to obtain pET-28a-GlPGM1 and pET-28a-GlPGM3 recombinant strains, respectively. The constructed plasmids were transformed into the expression strain E. coli BL21 (Takara, Dalian, China). The recombinant strains of GlPGM1and GlPGM3 were incubated and induced with 1mM isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) for 3–5 h at 28 °C. The overexpressed proteins GlPGM1and GlPGM3 were purified and checked by 12.5% SDS-PAGE. The E. coli with recombinant pET-28a without IPTG was used as the negative control.
The GlPGM1 and GlPGM3 polyclonal antibodies were made by Hangzhou Aiting Biological Technology Co., Ltd. (Hangzhou, China). The purified proteins, GlPGM1 and GlPGM3, were used as antigens to immunize rabbits for the production of the polyclonal antiserum. A Western blot analysis with the antibodies was conducted to check the expression of GlPGM1 and GlPGM3 from G. lemaneiformis (Figure S7, Supplementary Materials).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A VP3 sequence (GenBank accession number ABI52864.1) was codon-optimized for expression in E. coli and purchased from GenScript (New Jersey, USA). The VP3 gene was subcloned into the 6×His tag expression vector pET28a (Novagen) using BamH I and Xho I restriction endonucleases. Overlapping gene fragments varying in size (150 or 390 bp) and covering the full-length VP3 sequence were PCR-amplified (Fig. 1). The larger VP3 gene fragments (FA, FM and FP, 390 bp) were inserted into pET28a, whereas the shorter VP3 fragments (F1 to F7, 150 bp) were inserted into pET28a-GFP, between EcoR I and Xho I restriction sites. The pET28a-GFP was constructed by inserting the green fluorescent protein gene, which was PCR-amplified from pEGFP-C3 (Clontech Laboratories, CA, USA), into the BamH I site on pET28a (upstream of the EcoR I and Xho I sites). The E. coli DH5α strain was used to propagate the plasmids. The oligonucleotides used in this work are shown in Additional file 6. All constructed plasmids were sequenced to verify the absence of mutations and the correct in-frame insertion of amplicons.

The genes encoding e23sFv-derived scFvs fused with His-tag at the 3' end and with 5'- and 3'-flanking NcoI and NotI restriction sites were cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pET28a (Takara Biotechnology Co., Ltd.).

For the purification of inclusion bodies, the precipitates were dissolved in 8 M urea buffer and subjected to Ni2+-NTA affinity chromatography using Ni-NTA His•Bind Resins (Novagen; MilliporeSigma) according to the manufacturer's instructions. After extensive washing with 100 mM imidazole buffer, the bound proteins were eluted at room temperature with 1,000 mM imidazole buffer and refolded by linearly decreasing the urea gradient (7, 6, 4, 2, 1 and 0 M). The renatured proteins were finally dialyzed into PBS (pH 7.4) and quantified by BCA assay (Pierce; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.).

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.
