Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The solvent used to prepare and dilute antibiotic Cefotaxime sodium salt (CTX, Sigma Aldrich) was the M9 compound medium to avoid the concentration of the nutrients decreasing in the prepared culture medium. The original antibiotic stock solution (25 mg/mL CTX solution) was prepared by dissolving 66.49 mg Cefotaxime sodium salt (potency is 940 μg/mg) into 2.5 mL M9 compound medium (Andrews, 2001 (link)). Afterward, the original CTX solution was filtered (VWR, 0.2 μm cellulose acetate membrane) and further diluted to various gradient concentrations. In the following, 300 μL solution with different concentrations was transferred in 500 μL Eppendorf tubes with correlated concentration labels. All the prepared antibiotic stock solutions were kept in the freezer at −20°C for a maximum of 2 months. To enable the expression of all TEM motifs under the control of lacI repressor, 50 μM isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG, Sigma Aldrich) was also added to the growth medium for each experiment (Gomes et al., 2020 (link)). The IPTG stock (5 mM) was prepared by dissolving 119.15 mg into a 100 mL M9 compound medium, followed by transferring 1 mL to 2 mL Eppendorf tubes and keeping it in the freezer at −20°C for a maximum of 2 months.

Briefly, the recombinants were incubated at 37 °C until the optical density at 600 nm (OD600) of the culture reached 0.6. Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG; Sigma Aldrich, Shanghai, China) was added with the final concentration of 1 mM, followed by incubation for another 5 h. The expression of HcADRM was analyzed by 12% (w/v) SDS-PAGE. Recombinant protein was purified from the bacterial lysates using Ni2+ nitrilotriacetic acid column (GE Healthcare, Pittsburgh, PA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The concentration of the purified rHcADRM was determined using a Bradford assay [34 (link)].

To investigate the effect of codon usage on PfCelTOS expression, cultures were grown in the presence of 40 µg/mL kanamycin (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) in 1 L Difco Terrific Broth (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) at 30 °C. Cells were induced by adding 0.1 mM isopropyl β-d-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) (Sigma Aldrich) at an OD600 ~ 0.8–1.0 for protein induction. Cell samples were collected every hour from the time of induction for 3 consecutive hours for analysis by SDS-PAGE (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA). Subunit fragments representing the N-terminus and C-terminus of PfCelTOS essentially were expressed using the same conditions as for full length PfCelTOS.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cDNA for human ANG gene (369 bp) was amplified by PCR from the plasmid pCMV6-XL4 (OriGene) and eventually cloned in the BamHI and EcoRI restriction sites of the E. coli expression vector pGEX-6P-2 (GE-Healthcare), with a C-terminal hexa-histidine His-tag. The point mutations -D22G and L35P- were generated in ANG through site directed mutagenesis (Stratagene). Protein expression was induced in E. coli BL21 cells by addition of 1 mM Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) (Sigma), at an A600 of 0.6. Cells were harvested 4 hours post-induction, and cell pellets were disrupted by the addition of lysozyme (Sigma), followed by sonication (Branson sonifier 250, Netherlands). Following centrifugation at 10,000 rpm for 1 hour, the Angiogenin-GST fusion proteins were recovered in the soluble fraction. Purification of wild-type and mutated proteins was performed through standard Ni-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) affinity-based purification procedure (Qiagen). Fractions containing eluted fusion proteins were pooled, dialyzed and concentrated, before being further purified through size-exclusion chromatography using a Superdex 75 10/300 GL column (GE Healthcare). The concentration of wild-type and mutant proteins was determined using an extinction coefficient of 54945 M−1 cm−1 at 280 nm (http://web.expasy.org/protparam/).

Human ACE2 (1-615aa) with C-terminal polyhistidine and human TMPRSS2 (1-492aa) with C-terminal polyhistidine were expressed in FreeStyle 293F cells (ThermoFisher) with polyethyleneimine (PEI; Sigma-Aldrich). Six days post transfection, the supernatant containing the secreted protein was harvested and syringe-filtered using a 0.45um filter. The filtered supernatant was then incubated with Ni-Sepharose beads (GE healthcare) for 2 h for binding. The beads bound with hACE2 or hTMPRSS2 were then washed and the protein was eluted with 20 mM Tris, 250 mM imidazole, 300 mM NaCl, and buffer were exchanged into 20 mM Tris- HCl, 100 mM NaCl, 2 mM b-mercaptoethanol and 15% glycerol, followed by concentration with Vivaspin 6 spin filters (Sartorius). The purified hACE2 and hTMPRSS2 were stored at −80°C until use.
NRP1-b1(273-427aa) with N terminal polyhistidine was expressed in BL21Star™-(DE3) cells (Invitrogen). Cells were grown at 37°C, and once the cells reached an O.D. value of 0.6, induction was done with 750uM isopropyl β-d-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) (Sigma). After induction, cells were grown at 22°C for 16 h, following which, they were harvested, centrifuged, lysed and purified using Ni-Sepharose fast flow beads as per stander means described above.

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.
