Testing new anti-ORF2 (clone 9-7) beads

Conjugation of anti-ORF2 beads (08/17/21)

Anti-ORF2 beads

Anti-ORF2 antibody (clone 9-7) from abcam, 1mg/ml in 1x PBS, pH7.4 with 0.01% azide, can be directly used for conjugation; use 0.5mg of antibody to make 50mg of beads (beads are from RU)

500ul anti-ORF2 antibody (10ug Ab / mg beads,0.5mg antibody)

333ul 3M AmSO4 (final concentration 1M)

167ul 0.1M NaPO4, pH7.4

Compare Ab mix before and after coupling to see reduction of antibody (see last two lanes on sypro gel before Western section)

Testing new anti-ORF2 (clone 9-7) beads (08/18/21)

Cell line: LD401 heavy (05/02/14)

Extraction Buffer: 20mM HEPES, pH7.4, 500mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100 (v/v)

Scale: 50mg for LD401 anti-ORF2 IP (5ul of anti-ORF2 beads per 50mg IP)

Weigh out 100mg of LD401 powder; add 400ul of extraction buffer (1:4 w:v)

Vortex to mix; put the tubes on ice after resuspending the powder

Sonicate 2 Amp, 4x 2 sec

After sonication, spin @ 20k rcf, 4°C for 10’ (Eppendorf Centrifuge 5417R)

Collect the clarified lysate

Set up the following 2x 50mg IP reactions:

1) anti-ORF2 (9-7)_011421 (old batch of clone 9-7, received in 2019)

2) anti-ORF2 (9-7)_081821 (new batch of clone 9-7, received in 2020)

IP @ 4°C for 30’ with rotation (cold room)

Wash beads with 3x 1ml extraction buffer

Transfer the beads to fresh tubes during 2nd wash

After the 3rd wash, spin down briefly and remove any remaining liquid

Native elution with ORF2 di-peptides from 21st Century

Prepare ORF2 di-peptide stocks @ 2.5mM; working concentration 1mM

Peptide buffer: 50mM HEPEs, pH 7.4, 500mM NaCl, 0.5% Triton X-100

Dilute ORF2 di-peptide to 1mM with extraction buffer

Native elution with 5ul ORF2 dipeptide @ 1mM

1) E_anti-ORF2 (old 9-7)_MT9_RT 15’

2) E_anti-ORF2 (new 9-7)_MT9_RT 15’

Incubate beads with peptide @ RT for 15’

Collect the elution (“E”)

Wash the beads in each tube with 5ul of extraction buffer

Combine wash with elution from the same tub (10ul total)

LDS wash of the beads after native elution

Wash beads with 10ul of 1.1x LDS for 10 min at RT w/ mixing

Transfer the LDS wash to a fresh tube (“LDS”)

Add 1x LDS and 50mM DTT (final concentrations) to gel samples as needed

Heat samples @ 70°C for 10’

Run two 4-12% Bis-Tris gels (load 90% of each sample on one gel for Sypro stain; save10% of each sample for Western)
