admin26th May 2021 at 3:40pm

N2102Ep and NTERA anti-ORF2 IP with rIgG controls

Date: 10/20/20

• RNAse free L1 extraction buffer. 1:250 RNasin in EB, 1:1000 in wash.

• Cell lines: N2102Ep and NTERA; use old MT302 anti-ORF1 elution as positive control

Prep extraction buffer with RNAse inhibitor (1:250) and protease inhibitors (1:100); Add 1:4 (w/v) of extraction buffer to powder

Weigh out 2x 200mg of N2102Ep and 200mg of NTERA

Sonicate samples for 5x2 sec at 2 Amp, repeat once (energy output 100mg samples: ~20J)

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

During spin, wash 40ul of beads per sample (200mg IP) 3x with 1mL of extraction buffer

Set up 200mg IPs with 40ul of beads

1) N2102Ep anti-ORF2

2) NTERA_anti-ORF2

3) N2102Ep_rIgG

IP @ 4°C for 30’

Wash beads 3x 1ml with RNAsin containing wash buffer

Switch beads to fresh tubes at 2nd wash step

Elute in 20ul of LDS @ 70°C for 5’ with mixing; Collect eluate for Western

Add 50mM DTT and 1x LDS (all final concentrations) to each sample

Heat samples @ 70°C for 10’

Split each sample into 2 equal halves (100mg scale), load twice on gel

Load 4-12% Bis-Tris gel;

1) Marker

2) E_N2102Ep anti_ORF2

3) E_NTERA anti_ORF2

4) E_N2102Ep rIgG

5) E_MT302_anti-ORF1 (5% of 100mg IP, used as positive control for ORF2p signal)

6) Space

7) Marker(not shown)

8) Marker

9) E_N2102Ep anti_ORF2

10) E_NTERA anti_ORF2

11) E_N2102Ep rIgG

12) E_MT302_anti-ORF1 (5% of 100mg IP, used as positive control for ORF2p signal)

13) Marker (not shown)

Wet transfer, 70V for 2h

• Cut the membrane between 75 and 50KD, use the top for anti-ORF2 and bottom for anti-ORF1 • Cut top half of the membrane again vertically between lane 6 and 7; probe the left panel with clone 5-5 and right panel with clone 11-1

Block the membranes in TBST/5% milk @ RT, 2hr

Upper panel: Rabbit anti-ORF2 Western

• Left: Primary Ab: Rabbit anti-ORF2 (Clone 5-5, 1.03mg/ml); 1:500, 4°C • Right: Primary Ab: Rabbit anti-ORF2 (Clone 11-1, 0.445mg/ml); 1:300, 4°C

• Secondary Ab: ECL anti-rabbit HRP 1:5,000, RT, 1hr

Lower panel (both lef tand right): Anti-ORF1 Western (Abmart, 4H1, 2mg/ml);

• Primary Ab: Mouse anti-ORF1 antibody, 1:5,000, 4°C, overnight

• Secondary Ab: ECL anti-mouse HRP 1:10,000, RT 1hr

Develop anti-ORF2 Western first; 3 minute exposure, super sensitivity

Put the whole membrane together, short exposure to show ORF1p; 30 second exposure, standard sensitivity, auto tone
