Rapid resistome mapping using nanopore sequencing
The emergence of antibiotic resistance in human pathogens has become a major threat to modern medicine. The outcome of antibiotic treatment can be affected by the composition of the gut. Accordingly, knowledge of the gut resistome composition could enable more effective and individualized treatment of bacterial infections. Yet, rapid workflows for resistome characterization are lacking. To addr...
متن کاملEpitope mapping and tagging by recombination PCR mutagenesis.
We describe a rapid PCR method that directly inserts an epitope tag into an open reading frame (ORF) to facilitate protein detection. This project was performed within a varicella-zoster virus (VZV) system. In earlier work, we produced a monoclonal antibody (MAb 3B3) to one VZV ORF called gE. MAb 3B3 bound to its epitope under extreme denaturing conditions. To further characterize the epitope, ...
متن کاملMassive functional mapping of a 5′-UTR by saturation mutagenesis, phenotypic sorting and deep sequencing
We present here a method that enables functional screening of large number of mutations in a single experiment through the combination of random mutagenesis, phenotypic cell sorting and high-throughput sequencing. As a test case, we studied post-transcriptional gene regulation of the bacterial csgD messenger RNA, which is regulated by a small RNA (sRNA). A 109 bp sequence within the csgD 5'-UTR...
متن کاملRapid conformational epitope mapping of anti-gp120 antibodies with a designed mutant panel displayed on yeast.
gp120 is a substrate for protein engineering both for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) immunogen design and as a bait for isolating anti-HIV antibodies from patient samples. In this work, we describe the display of a stripped core gp120 on the yeast cell surface. Validation against a panel of neutralizing antibodies confirms that yeast-displayed gp120 presents the CD4 binding site in the corr...
متن کاملRapid B Cell Linear Epitope Mapping
Conformational epitopes are thought to form the majority of strong antibody binding epitopes on most proteins. However numerous conformational epitopes may also be recognizable as linear epitopes, although with lower affinity. Linear B cell epitopes typically vary from 5 to 20 amino acids in length. If the antibody-binding region of the protein is unknown, an overlapping peptide library can be ...
