| Expression Protocol | 400ml of LB medium was inoculated with 100ml stationary phase culture and grown at 37degC. After 30min incubation, 0.5mM IPTG was added and the cells were incubated a further 4h. Cells were collected by centrifugation and the inclusion bodies were isolated. |

| Refolding Protocol | The inclusion body pellet was dissolved in 10ml solubilization buffer and then centrifuged (150000g). Refolding was initiated by dilution with denatured class I histocompatibility antigen HLA-A2 and an antigenic peptide into 200ml refolding buffer. Final protein concentrations were 1microM HLA-A2, 2microM beta-2-microglobulin, 10microM peptide. The refolding mixture was incubated at 10degC for 24-36h. The refolding mixture was concentrated and then subjected to gel filtration HPLC. |
