The application of recombinant (His)(6)-tagged proteins in cell culture assays is associated with problems due to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) contamination. LPS stimulates cells of the immune system, thereby masking antigen-specific activation of T cells. Due to the affinity of LPS for histidine it is associated with difficulties to remove LPS from recombinant (His)(6)-tagged proteins. Here we describe that the Triton X-114 phase separation method can be used to remove LPS from (His)(6)-tagged proteins and that the recombinant proteins retain their biological activity.
由于脂多糖(LPS)污染,重组(His)6标记蛋白在细胞培养分析中的应用存在问题。LPS刺激免疫系统细胞,从而掩盖T细胞的抗原特异性激活。由于LPS对组氨酸的亲和力,从重组(His)6标记蛋白中去除LPS存在困难。在此我们描述了Triton X-114相分离方法可用于从(His)6标记蛋白中去除LPS,且重组蛋白保留其生物学活性。
