Fn-Dps was obtained as we mentioned in our primary study17 (link). In brief, Fn-Dps gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Fn (ATCC 25586) DNA as templates. The recombinant plasmids of pET28a-Fn-Dps were transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3). The expression of the recombinant Fn-Dps was induced with 0.8 mM isopropyl β-d-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) for continuous 16 h cultivation at 25 °C. The endotoxin in Fn-Dps was removed using the Endotoxin Removal Kit (GenScript, Nanjing, China) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
