Expression Chaplins in NZ8900
-Grow O/N culture in Ty with antibiotics (Km5 and Cm5)
-Measure OD600 (with 0.9 ml with 100 μL of O/N culture, number *10=OD)
-Inoculate 15ml TY (with ab) in 100 ml flask to OD=0.1
-Grow till OD600 is approx. 0.5
-Take 2 ml t=0 sample
-Induce with 1% subtiline
-Continue growing
-Take 2 ml samples every hour
Chaplin purification
-5mg cell wall in 1.5 mL tube. Do not use gloves because static electric interaction
-Add app. 1 mL of TFA with a glass pasteur pipette.Do this in fumer and never leave TFA open for more than 30 sec!
-Vortex 1 min
-Spin down insoluble material for 10 min at 13000 rpm
-Transfer supernatant to new 1.5 mL eppendorf tube or 5 mL Greiner tube
-Dry TFA for 1-2 hours
-When tube is dry, resolve in water or Tris buffer
Sample treatment

Supernatant
-1.5 ml of supernant in separate cup, rest of supernatant can be discarted (at this point you can store in freezer)
-TCA precipitation until drying pellet after washing with aceton
-Continue with TFA treatment
Cell pellet
