| Protein Expression and Production | Protein recombinantly expressed as and refolded from inclusion bodies. |
| Expression Host | Escherichia coli |
| Expression Strain | BL21(DE3) |
| Expression Temp | 37.0 |

| Expression Vector | pET3b |
| Expression Protocol | Cells were grown in 250ml LB medium with 0.1mg/ml ampicillin at 37degC. Expression was induced when OD578 reached 0.8 with 1mM IPTG, cells were grown for a further 5h and harvested by centrifugation. |

| Refolding Protocol | The pellet was resuspended in 30ml of 20mM Tris pH 8.5, then sonicated at 4degC. The inclusion bodies were centrifuged (90min x 4300g) then resuspended in wash buffer and centrifuged again. The inclusion bodies were then dissolved in 30ml solubilization buffer and incubated for 2h at 37degC (200rpm). The protein was then diluted into 150ml refolding buffer with 5%(w/v) C8POE, and dialyzed twice for 24h against 1L refolding buffer with 1% C8POE. The protein was then loaded onto a Source-Q ion exchange column equilibrated with 0.6%(w/v) C8P4 in 20mM Tris pH 8.5 - the protein passed straight through the column and was collected in from the flow-through. |
