About 100 g of infiltrated leaves were harvested 4 days after agroinfiltration and the leaves were homogenized with 200 ml PBS buffer. The plant crude extract was centrifuged at 26,000 × g at 4°C for 40 min and clarified with a 0.45-μm membrane filter. The resulting supernatant was purified by protein A affinity resin (Expedeon, United Kingdom) packed in a polypropylene column (Qiagen, Germany) with 15 mm column diameter. The proteins were washed with PBS buffer and the recombinant antibody was eluted using 0.1 M glycine at pH 2.7 and neutralized with 1.5 M Tris-HCl pH 8.8 to final pH 7.4. Purified plant-produced antibody was buffer exchanged and concentrated using Amicon® Ultra (30 K) centrifugal filter (Merck, Germany) according to the instructions from the manufacturer. Purified plant-produced antibody was quantified by ELISA and used for further experiments.

Recombinant protein expression was induced in E. coli BL21 cultures at OD600 0.5–0.7 by adding IPTG at a final concentration of 1 mM, and continuing incubation for 4 hr at 37°C with shaking at 220 rpm. Cells were harvested by centrifugation (5000 × g, 10 min), and the pellet was lysed in 2 ml Buffer B (8 M urea, 0.1 M NaH2PO4, 0.01 M Tris–HCl, pH 7.0) supplemented with 0.1 M phenylmethanesulfonylfluoride (PMSF) at room temperature for 4 hr. Cell debris was removed by centrifugation (12,000 × g, 15 min). Ni‐NTA agarose (Qiagen; 300 μl) was added to 2 ml lysis supernatant, mixed gently at room temperature for 25 min, and then transferred to a polypropylene column (Qiagen). The column was washed with 4 ml Buffer B (supplemented with 20 mM imidazole) and then twice with Buffer C (1 M NaCl, 10% EtOH, 2% Tween‐20) supplemented with 20 mM imidazole. Protein was eluted six times with Buffer D (Buffer B, supplemented with 100 mM imidazole). All of the washes and eluted fractions were collected and analysed by SDS‐PAGE. Fractions containing recombinant proteins were pooled and dialysed against dH2O supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma). Dialysed protein solutions were freeze‐dried, suspended in dH2O, and the protein concentrations determined using the Bradford assay (BioRad Laboratories, Hemel Hempstead, Herts, UK).

SRECs’ were infected with SIV/SK-544 at an MOI of 2. At 16 h post infection (h.p.i.), cells were harvested in cell lysis buffer (Cell Signaling Technology) with protease inhibitor (Complete protease inhibitor cocktail tablets – Roche Diagnostics Corporation). The lysate was sonicated and then clarified by centrifugation at 16200 × g for 10 min at 4°C. The Strep-tactin sepharose resin (IBA) was washed three times with four column volume (CV) of cell lysis buffer and then was added to the clarified lysate and incubated at 4°C overnight. Next, the lysate-sepharose mixture was added to a polypropylene column (Qiagen) and the sepharose was washed extensively with wash buffer [100 mM Tris-Cl (pH 8.0), 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA]. The Strep-tag NS1 protein complex was then eluted from the sepharose resin with 3 CV of elution buffer (wash buffer with 2.5 mM desthibiotin). Protease inhibitor cocktail was added to the eluent to prevent degradation of the proteins and the proteins present in the complex were identified by LC-MS/MS at the University of Victoria-Genome BC Proteomics Centre.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
GH28-1 was expressed in the yeast Pichia pastoris as previously described (76 (link)). The His6-tagged enzyme was purified using HisPur Cobalt Resin (Thermo Scientific) following the manufacturer’s instructions for the “Batch Method” with slight modifications. The enzyme-containing supernatant from the yeast expression was diluted with an equal volume of Equilibration/Wash Buffer and incubated with the cobalt resin for ∼2–6 h under constant stirring at 4 °C. At room temperature, the mixture was passed over 5 mL Polypropylene Columns (Qiagen), which retained the resin including captured proteins. After washing with 20 column volumes of Equilibration/Wash Buffer, a multistep elution was performed. Two column volumes of elution buffer were incubated on the column for 5 min, drained by gravity flow, and then reapplied to the column. This was repeated three times per elution for four elution fractions. All elution fractions were pooled and a buffer exchange into LiChrosolv ultrapure water (Merck) was carried out using Amicon Ultra-15 Centrifugal Filter Units (Merck) (10 kDa MWCO). The protein concentrations were determined with the Bio-Rad Protein Assay (Bio-Rad) with the help of a bovine serum albumin (BSA) standard curve. The protein solutions were frozen in individual aliquots in liquid nitrogen and stored at −20 °C until further use.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All expression plasmids were sequence verified and recombinant proteins produced by transiently transfecting HEK293-6E cells. Plasmids encoding bait proteins were co-transfected with a plasmid encoding secreted BirA in a 9:1 ratio as described [56 ]. HEK293-6E cells were maintained in Freestyle medium (Invitrogen) supplemented with 25 μg/mL G418 (Invitrogen) and 0.1% Kolliphor. Transfections were left for 5 days, and supernatants were harvested and filtered through a 0.2-μm filter. Supernatants containing prey proteins were used neat or diluted without purification while those containing bait proteins were subjected to His-tag affinity purification. Supernatants containing biotinylated bait proteins were incubated with Ni-NTA agarose beads (Jena Bioscience) overnight at 4 °C with constant rotation. One hundred microliters of beads was used for every 50 mL of supernatant. Polypropylene columns (Qiagen) were equilibrated with 2 mL binding buffer (20 mM sodium phosphate buffer, 0.5 mM NaCl, 40 mM imidazole) before addition of the bead-supernatant mixture. Beads were washed with 5 mL binding buffer and proteins eluted in 500 μL of elution buffer (20 mM sodium phosphate buffer, 0.5 mM NaCl, 400 mM imidazole) by incubating for 30 min at room temperature.
