Hybridoma supernatant in batches of 400 mL were filtered using a 0.22 μm pore size bottle-top vacuum filter (Corning) to remove cell debris. Buffers were developed based on the manufacturer’s recommendations (Cytiva Protein G Sepharose 4 Affinity Chromatography Handbook). Supernatant was diluted 1:1 with binding buffer (20 mM H2NaO4P·H2O, pH 7.0). Protein G resin (2.5 mL, Cytiva Protein G SepharoseTM 4 Fast Flow) was added to a 1.0 × 10 cm Econo-Column (Bio-Rad) and washed twice with 10 mL of binding buffer. Supernatant/binding buffer solution was added to a Econo-Column Reservoir (Bio-Rad) attached to the Econo-Column and allowed to gravity flow through the resin. After flow-through was collected, the resin was washed twice with 10 mL of binding buffer to remove supernatant. To elute the bound mAbs, 6 mL of elution buffer (0.1 M glycine buffer, pH 2.5–3.0) was added to the column. Elution fractions were collected in 1-mL fractions and diluted 1:10 with neutralizing buffer (1 M TrisHCl, pH 9.0). mAb concentration was calculated using a Nanodrop spectrophotometer, and the top yields were selected and pooled. Purified mAbs were dialyzed using a Slide-A-Lyzer 10K (Fisher) over 48h at 4°C with two separate exchanges of PBS buffer.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
E. coli BL21 (DE3) cells containing the cjRecR-expression plasmid were grown in an LB medium at 37 °C. When the optical density of the culture at 600 nm reached 0.6, the culture was supplemented with isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (1 mM) to induce cjRecR overexpression. The cells were further cultured at 37 °C for 3 h. The resultant cells were harvested using centrifugation and lysed using sonication in 50 mM Tris, pH 8.0, 200 mM NaCl, and 5 mM β-mercaptoethanol (βME).
The cjRecR protein was first purified using immobilized metal affinity chromatography. The cell lysate containing the hexahistidine-tagged cjRecR protein was incubated with Ni-NTA resin, and the resin was harvested using an Econo-Column (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). The cjRecR protein was eluted from the resin using a solution containing 50–500 mM imidazole, 50 mM Tris, pH 8.0, 200 mM NaCl, and 5 mM βME. The eluted cjRecR protein was dialyzed against 20 mM Tris pH, 8.0, and 5 mM βME and then treated with thrombin to remove the hexahistidine tag. Subsequently, the untagged cjRecR protein was purified via anion exchange chromatography using a Mono Q 10/100 column (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA) with a NaCl gradient (0–500 mM) in 20 mM Tris, pH 8.0, and 5 mM βME.
cjRecO protein was produced in E. coli cells and purified by affinity and ion exchange chromatography as described previously [6 (link)].

HA-8mer was synthesized as previously described (Kanekiyo et al., 2013 (link); Weaver et al., 2016 (link)). Briefly, plasmids were transiently transfected into FreeStyle 293-F cells in FreeStyle 293 Expression Medium. After 5 days of culturing in conditions described above, cell culture supernatants collected by centrifugation and concentrated using a tangential flow filtration setup with a 30 kDa cutoff. In 100 mL aliquots, the concentrate was mixed with 2 mL of PBS-equilibrated Erythrina cristagalli lectin-immobilized resin (EY Laboratories) at 4°C and incubated overnight with gentle agitation. The resin was then loaded onto a 1.5 × 20 cm glass Econo-Column (Bio-Rad) and washed with five column-volumes of PBS by gravity flow. HA-8mer particles were eluted with two column-volumes of 0.2 M D-lactose (Sigma-Aldrich) in PBS and concentrated in a centrifugal concentrator with a 100 kDa cutoff. Size-exclusion FPLC was then performed using a Superdex 200 10/30 column (GE Healthcare) and purified HA-8mer was again concentrated as before.
Recombinant HPV16 L1 (Abcam ab119880) and recombinant HBsAg AD (Abcam ab193473) were reconstituted following the manufacturer’s guidelines. Nanoparticle formation of the expected size was confirmed by dynamic light scattering.

Purification of Filovirus Glycoproteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Filovirus proteins were produced and purified as previously described (Keck et al., 2015 (link), Howell et al., 2016 (link)). Briefly, the coding regions of EBOV GPΔTM or SUDV GPΔTM were inserted into baculovirus transfer vectors (pFastBac, Invitrogen) and used to transfect Sf9 insect cells. The recombinant baculoviruses containing the GPΔTM were recovered from the supernatant and amplified in Sf9 cells. The final virus was used to infect Sf9 cells, and the protein was purified from the supernatant 3 dpi. The supernatant was concentrated and mixed with Ni Sepharose 6 Fast Flow beads (GE Life Sciences) overnight at 4°C. The next day, the beads were separated by centrifugation and packed into a Bio-Rad Econo column. The column was washed with PBS, 20% glycerol, 0.2% Tween 20, and 10 mM imidazole. Protein was eluted with the same buffer containing 500 mM imidazole and was dialyzed into PBS containing 10% glycerol, arginine, and glutamic acid. All proteins were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and western blot for purity, and protein concentrations were determined using the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay. Proteins were aliquoted and stored at −80°C for long-term storage.

Desalting and Purification of Pyridine Dinucleotides

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pyridine dinucleotides 2535 were desalted and obtained in the ammonium form using a simple gradient in a volatile NH4HCO3 buffer followed by repeated lyophilization. A Bio-Rad Econo-Column (2.5 × 8 cm) was filled with a slurry of DE53 cellulose and allowed to form a packed column of absorbent 3 cm high. Water (25 mL) was passed through the column until the effluent pH was neutral. The sample of dinucleotide was applied to the column as a dilute solution at pH ≥ 7.5 and properly adsorbed. The separation was developed by applying a linear gradient formed between water (150 mL) and 0.5 M NH4HCO3 (150 mL). Application of a gradient (0–0.5 M NH4HCO3) allows proper binding of the dinucleotide to the column. A flow rate of about 1–2 mL/min is achieved using a peristaltic pump to produce a slight positive pressure. Contaminating salts such as NaCl, ammonium chloride, or sodium trifluoroacetate elute into the low ionic strength buffer ahead of the dinulcleotide. NAADP derivatives generally elute into the mobile phase at concentrations of NH4HCO3 > 200 mM. Fractions are collected automatically with the aid of a fraction collector (Teledyne Isco, Retreiver 500, 100 drops/tube) and the dinucleotide detected by its absorption at 254 nm. Repeated lyophilization of the sample from water ensures complete removal of volatile NH4HCO3, leaving pure, salt free dinucleotide.

The gene encoding erdR (pp_1635) was cloned into pET16b in frame with a nucleotide sequence encoding a N-terminal 6His tag and used to transform Escherichia coli C41. Briefly, an overnight culture of C41 containing pET16b-erdR grown at 37 °C was used to inoculate 1 L of LB medium supplemented with 100 μg/mL ampicillin (initial OD600 of 0.1). The culture was incubated at 30 °C with continuous shaking until reaching an OD600 of ~0.5, then, induction was performed with 0.5 mM IPTG for 3 h. The pellet of the culture was later collected by centrifugation, washed once with 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8) and then, resuspended in lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8, 300 mM KCl, 10% glycerol, 10 mM imidazole, 0.5 mM PMSF and 2 mM β-mercaptoethanol). For cell disruption, the pellet was processed by Constant Cell Disruptor BT40/TS2/AA (Constant Systems Ltd.) (pressure: 1.35 kBar). Cellular debris were separated from the supernatant by centrifugation. Later, the supernatant was used for an affinity chromatography by Ni-NTA. To that end, resin and sample were incubated 1 h at 4 °C and then packet onto a column (Econo column, Bio Rad). The column was later washed with imidazole (10 and 30 mM), and finally, the protein (6His-ErdR) was eluted in buffer containing 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8, 100 mM KCl, 10% glycerol, 200 mM imidazole and 2 mM β-mercaptoethanol.

The PPLC gSEC column [1 ] (Fig 1) was packed with size-exclusion dextran-based Sephadex G-50 fine (17-0042-01), G-75 (17-0050-01), G-100 (17-0060-01) and 2% agarose-based gel filtration Sepharose CL-2B beads from Cytiva (formerly GE healthcare, Marlborough, MA, USA). The column was prepared by layering the beads from the smallest (G-50) to largest (Sepharose CL-2B) in a 25cm x 0.5cm Econo-Column® (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) at room temperature by gravity. Analytes were eluted with 1x phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Fractions were collected in Greiner UV-Star® 96-well plates using a FC204 fraction collector (Gilson, Middleton, WI, USA), with 12 drops per well. UV-Visible spectroscopy (absorbance) and fluorescence of the fractions were measured using a Synergy H1 plate reader. Fractions in each peak shown in the absorbance profiles (Fig 2 and Fig 3) were pooled and stored at −80°C. The BEV samples (peak 1) from each donor were thawed once to measure BEV ζ-potential, protein concentrations, EV marker western blots and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images. They were thawed a second time for proteomic analysis. They were thawed a third time for proteomic validations by western blot. The samples were re-stored at −80°C after each thaw.

To prepare cells for extraction of MHC–peptide complexes, growing cultures were harvested, and spent medium was removed by centrifugation. Cells were washed twice in cold PBS, and dry cell pellets were snap frozen on dry ice and stored at −80 °C for subsequent lysis. Cells (total number: 6.5e8 of 1102mel, 1.4e8 of 2048mel, 3.4e8 of 1363mel, and 9e8 of 2048EBV) were lysed in a solution of 20 mM Tris HCl, pH 8.0; 150 mM NaCl with 1% CHAPS; 1 mM PMSF; 5 g/mL aprotinin; 10 g/mL leupeptin; 10 g/mL pepstatin A; and 1:100 dilutions of phosphatase inhibitor cocktails I and II (Sigma Aldrich), to prevent potential dephosphorylation of peptides during extraction. The lysate was centrifugated and then run over an Econocolumn (Bio-Rad) containing the pan-HLA-DR-specific mAb L243 bound to recombinant protein. After over-night incubation at 4 °C, peptides were eluted from HLA-DR molecules with 10% acetic acid (HOAc) and separated using a 10-kDa cutoff ULTRAFREE-MC filter (Millipore). Extracts were stored at −80 °C.16 (link)
