Alignment of the random nucleotide sequences and the predicted amino acid sequence of 15 randomly chosen clones.
<p>The random nucleotide sequences of these clones were different, and 5 clones (one-third) exhibited a stop codon.</p
Recovery of BoNT/B by PEG precipitation with various concentrations of PEG at various pH values.
<p>A, NaCl concentration: 0.1 M; B, NaCl concentration: 0.3 M. Recovery was defined as the ratio of the amount of BoNT/B measured by ELISA in PEG precipitation to that in the starting material.</p
Further purification of toxins using hydrophobic interaction chromatography.
<p>Pooled fractions obtained from the Sephacryl™ S-100 size column (Fig. 4) were applied to a phenyl HP column. A, The BoNT/B complex was eluted at pH 5.8; B, the BoNT/B was purified at pH 8.0. The arrow shows the activity fraction.</p
Growth patterns of <i>C. botulinum</i> type B strain.
<p>It indicates the optical density of the cultures in three media.</p
Description of the random DNA library construct used for ribosome display.
<p>The T7 promoter is followed by a SD sequence and the 12 random peptides; this is then followed sequentially by a 10-amino-acid G/S linker, T20–V109 of pD, and a 25-amino-acid G/S linker without a stop codon. Sequences encoding RNA stem-loop structures are present at both ends.</p
Purification of the BoNT/B complex
a<p>The concentration of total BoNT/B complex was determined by a “sandwich” ELISA method using the purified BoNT/B as a standard. And the purified BoNT/B concentration was determined by BCA assay.</p>b<p>Minimum lethal dose (MLD) was defined as the minimum dose required to kill two mice as described in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0039670#s4" target="_blank">Materials and Methods</a>.</p>c<p>The purification factor was estimated by the mouse toxigenicity test of BoNT/B complex.</p
Identification of the ternary complexes formed during <i>in vitro</i> translation.
<p>Lane 1 is DL2000 DNA marker. Lane 2 is the ternary complexes that were treated with EDTA released the mRNA; the complexes were subsequently detected by RT-PCR. The RT-PCR product is indicated by an arrow. Lane 3 is the ternary complexes, which were not treated with EDTA, did not release the mRNA.</p
SDS–PAGE analysis of the purified BoNT/B.
<p>1∼3, BoNT/B after purification by hydrophobic interaction chromatography column; M, markers.</p
