H7.5 Fab for crystallization was prepared as previously described [30 (link)]. In brief, the heavy and light chains of H7.5 were cloned independently into the phCMV3 vector and fused with an N-terminal IgK secretion signal. A His6 tag was added to the C-terminus of the Fab heavy chain. Recombinant cDNAs encoding the Fab heavy and light chains were purified and cotransfected into 293F cells by 293fectin (Invitrogen). After 6–7 days of expression at 37 °C, the Fabs were purified from the supernatant by Ni-NTA Superflow (Qiagen) and monoS chromatography (GE Healthcare).
