[Abstract] This protocol provides a step-by-step method to create recombinant fluorescent fusion proteins that can be secreted from mammalian cell lines. This builds on many other recombinant protein and fluorescent protein techniques, but is among the first to harness fluorescent fusion proteins secreted directly into cell culture supernatant. This opens new possibilities that are not achievable with proteins produced in bacteria or yeast, such as direct use of the fluorescent protein-secreting cells in live co-culture assays. The Fluorescent Adaptable Simple Theranostic (FAST) protein system includes a histidine purification tag and a tobacco etch virus (TEV) cleavage site, allowing the purification tag and fluorescent protein to be removed for therapeutic use. This protocol is split into five ...
[摘要] [摘要] 该方案提供了一种逐步建立重组荧光融合蛋白的方法，可从哺乳动物细胞系分泌。这项技术建立在许多其他重组蛋白和荧光蛋白技术的基础上，但它是第一个利用荧光融合蛋白直接分泌到细胞培养上清液中的技术之一。这为细菌或酵母产生的蛋白质开辟了新的可能性，例如直接使用荧光蛋白分泌细胞进行活体共培养实验。该荧光适应性简单热（FAST）蛋白系统包括组氨酸纯化标签和烟草蚀刻病毒（TEV）裂解位点，允许去除纯化标签和荧光蛋白用于治疗用途。该方案分为五个部分：（A）感兴趣基因（GOI）和感兴趣蛋白（POI）的电子表征；（B）表达载体的设计；（C）表达载体的组装；（D）用表达载体转染真核细胞系；（E）检测重组蛋白。这种广泛的方案只需聚合酶链反应（PCR）和细胞培养训练即可完成。另外，协议的每个部分都可以独立使用。

[Abstract] The binding interactions of PD-1 and PD-L1 have been studied by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) over the past few years, but these investigations resulted in controversy regarding the values of the dissociation constant (Kd) (Freeman et al., 2000). MST is a powerful new method for the quantitative analysis of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) with low sample consumption. The technique is based on the movement of molecules along microscopic temperature gradients, and it detects changes in their hydration shell, charge or size. One binding partner is fluorescently labeled, while the other binding partner remains label-free. We used a protocol that allows the determination of the binding affinity by MST without purification of ...
[摘要] [摘要 ] 近年来，通过表面等离振子共振（SPR）和等温滴定热法（ITC）研究了PD-1和PD-L1的结合相互作用，但这些研究引起了解离常数值的争议。 （ķ d ）（弗里曼等人，2000） 。MST是一种功能强大的新方法，可定量分析低样品消耗的蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用（PPI）。该技术基于分子沿微观温度梯度的移动，并检测其水合壳，电荷或大小的变化。一个结合蛋白摹伴侣荧光拉贝领导， 而另一个绑定伙伴仍保持无标签状态。我们使用的协议允许通过MST确定结合亲和力，而无需从细胞裂解物中纯化靶蛋白。将此MST方法应用于在CHO-K1细胞中表达的PD-1-eGFP和PD-L1-eGFP的应用，首次使我们能够确定PD-1及其配体PD-L1之间形成的复合物的亲和力在肿瘤逃逸期间。该协议在研究蛋白质与小分子之间的相互作用方面具有多种潜在应用。
[背景技术 [ 0002 ] 鉴定能够调节PD-1和PD-L1之间形成的复合物的亲和力的化合物代表了针对肿瘤免疫逃逸的新疗法的开发的重大进展。该方案涉及eGFP 融合蛋白的过表达，然后从细胞裂解物中提取eGFP 融合蛋白，无需任何纯化步骤即可测定PD-1和PD-L1之间的亲和常数。因此，该协议的发展需要产生eGFP 融合蛋白。该协议旨在通过避免繁琐的纯化步骤来定量加速蛋白质相互作用的表征。该协议还可以用于通过PD-1 / ...
