Escherichia coli str. TOP10, Pichia pastoris str. X33, and the pPICZα-A were purchased from Invitrogen Inc. The recombinant pPICZα-A/hIFN-link-ApoA-I plasmid was constructed earlier in our laboratory. E. coli str. TOP10 was used for the cloning and propagation of synthetic human GM-CSF in pPICZa-A and pPICZα-A/hIFN-link-ApoA-I plasmids. Pichia pastoris str. X33 was used for cloning pPICZa-A/hGM-CSF and pPICZa-A/hGM-CSF-link-ApoA-I plasmids and expression and production of the authentic and chimeric forms of recombinant human GM-CSF.

Once they reached density, 0.5% (v/v) methanol was added once per day for three days. Relative levels of FcγRIIIa-ST-H6 in the media was determined by a dot blot using a mouse Anti-H6 primary antibody (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL) followed by a goat Anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody conjugated with alkaline phosphatase (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL). The colony that expressed the highest level of FcγRIIIa-ST-H6 was selected for 1 L spinner flask expression.

The gene encoding RHC was cloned into the plasmids containing pET-3c (Invitrogen, United States) expression vector, and the recombinant plasmid named pET3c-hlcollagen was constructed and transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) (Invitrogen, United States). After that, the best expression conditions was selected by screening for ampicillin resistance and induction by isopropyl β-d-1-thiogalactopyranoside (Invitrogen, United States). A 50 L fermentor was used for generating large-scale production of RHC. In addition, RHC was purified by using affinity chromatography on a Ni Sepharose six Fast Flow (Sigma, Germany) column combined with gel filtration Sephadex G-25 (Sigma, Germany).
The gene encoding rhFN was cloned into the pPICZαA (Invitrogen, United States) expression vector to generate a recombinant plasmid named pPICZαA-rhFN. After linearizing the recombinant plasmid with sall enzyme (Takara, Japan), it was transferred into GS115 Pichia pastoris competent cells (Invitrogen, United States) and screened for positive transformants. Afterwords, recombinant human-like fibronectin was expressed by biological fermentation. Moreover, the nucleotide sequence was adapted by the host cell codon to optimize the expression of recombinant fibronectin.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the inducible expression of BHc in P. pastoris (Table 4), four recombinant plasmids were constructed by cloning the BHc or mBHc genes into pPICZαA (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) or pPICZαA-pre (a pre-peptide instead of the pre-pro-peptide) at Xho I (5′) and Not I (3′), respectively. Briefly, the BHc gene was amplified by PCR from pGEM-BHc (containing a completely synthetic gene encoding the Hc domain of BoNT/B, amino acids 853–1291, ~50 kDa)24 (link) and cloned into pPICZαA or pPICZαA-pre to produce recombinant pPICZαA-BHc and pPICZαA-pre-BHc, respectively. To eliminate the potential N-linked glycosylation site of BHc, a mBHc gene encoding a BHc mutant, in which N957 of BHc was mutated to Q957, was cloned by mutagenesis. The mBHc gene was cloned into pPICZαA or pPICZαA-pre to construct pPICZαA-mBHc and pPICZαA-pre-mBHc, respectively. The pPICZαA is an expression vector, in which the expression of BHc is under the control of the P. pastoris Alcohol oxidase 1 (AOX1) promoter. The α-factor pre-pro-peptide containing a KEX2 cleavage site was used to direct the secretion of BHc. The α-factor pre-peptide could also direct the secretion of BHc21 (link).

The ORF for BxCDP1 was amplified from B. xylophilus cDNA using primers with vector‐specific extensions (Table S1). The purified PCR product was inserted into the linearized vector pPICZαA (Invitrogen), which contains a 6 × His tag. The construct was transformed into Escherichia coli TOP10 competent cells. Individual colonies from the construct were tested by PCR for insertions, and the selected clones were verified by sequencing. The constructed plasmid was linearized with SacI (New England Biolabs). The pPICZαA vector containing BxCDP1‐6 × His and EV were transformed into the P. pastoris KM71H (Invitrogen) via electroporation. Positive clones were grown in yeast extract‐peptone‐dextrose (YPD) medium containing 100 µg/ml zeocin at 30 °C for 3 days. BMGY (buffered glycerol‐complex medium) and BMMY (buffered methanol‐complex medium) were used for protein expression. After 4 days, the cultures were centrifuged at 6,500 rpm for 10 min to procure the supernatant containing BxCDP1‐6 × His and EV, respectively, as confirmed by SDS‐PAGE. Purification of the recombinant protein BxCDP1‐6 × His and EV from the culture supernatant was performed by affinity chromatography using Ni‐NTA Superflow resin (Qiagen).

The mammalian expression vector pCEP4-MFE-23-NC1ES-encoding the CEA-specific MFE-23 scFv-based N-terminal trimerbody, containing a murine TIEXVIII domain, has been previously reported [16 (link)]. To generate the P. pastoris expression vector the DNA fragment encoding the MFE-23 scFv was PCR amplified from pCEP4-MFE-23-NC1ES- with primers EcoRI FW and NotI RV (Table 1). The EcoRI /NotI-digested PCR fragment was ligated into the EcoRI/NotI-digested backbone of plasmid pPICZαA (Life Technologies) to generate the intermediate plasmid pPICZαA-MFE-23. The DNA encoding human TIEXVIII was PCR amplified from plasmid pCR3.1-L36-hNC1 [18 (link)] with primers NotI FW and SalI RV (Table 1). The NotI/SalI-digested PCR fragment was ligated into the NotI/SalI-digested backbone of plasmid pPICZαA-MFE-23 to obtain pPICZαA-MFE-23-TIE. The sequence was verified using primers 5’ AOX1 and 3’AOX1 (Table 1).

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.
