Effects of ZnCl2 on IP specificity using different cell lines and tissue

Date: 5/4/21

Extraction/Wash buffer conditions

20mM HEPES, pH7.4, 500mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100 with protease inhibitors and different concentrations of ZnCl2

Cell lines and tissue:

LD401 from Sunny (Old LD401 powder with very poor L1 expression): to test Zn titer in mIgG IP N2102Ep, NTREA and 174T (tumor tissue): to compare anti-ORF1 and mIgG IP

Scale: 50mg scale with 10ul of anti-ORF1 or mouse IgG beads per reaction

Weigh out 4x 50mg of LD401 and 2x50mg of other cell lines and tissue

Add 200ul of extraction buffer with protease inhibitors and RNase inhibitors to each tube according to the IP conditions below

Resuspend the powder by vortexing

Sonicate @ 2 Amp; 4x 2sec (15-20J)

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

Set up 6x 50mg IP with 10ul mIgG beads per reaction

8. NTERA_mIgG_0.1mM Zn

9. 174T_anti-ORF1_0.1mM Zn

10. 174T_mIgG_0.1mM Zn

IP @ 4°C for 30’

During IP, check protein concentration of clarified lysate by Bradford assay

Wash 3x 500ul of extraction buffer

Switch beads to fresh tubes at 2nd wash step

LDS elution: 10ul 1.1x LDS, 70°C for 5’; collect the elution for gel (Coomassie stain)

Protein Gel

Add 1ul of 500mM DTT to each sample

Heat @ 70°C for 10’

Run 4-12% Bis-Tris gel
