Attention

Research materials produced by the TBVTRM Contract are distributed by the Biodefense and Emerging Infections Research Resources Repository (BEI Resources). Please visit our page on the BEI Resources website for complete ordering instructions:

PhoS1

Reagent:
Rv0934, PhoS1, 38 kDa antigen, Anitgen 5, PstS1

Default Quantity:
250 µg

Production system:
The proteins soluble in 40% ammonium sulfate are precipitated with a 70% saturated ammonium sulfate solution. These proteins are suspended in ConA binding buffer and applied to a ConA column. ConA elution buffer, containing alpha-D-mannopyranoside, is used to elute the bound proteins. The bound material is applied to a phenyl sepharose column and eluted using a gradient of decreasing ammonium sulfate. Fractions containing pure 38kDa are pooled and dialyzed. Aliquots are stored at -80°C.

Notes:
It should be noted that the cell wall associated and culture filtrate forms of PhoS1 seem to differ in their hydrophobic characteristics. However, we have not yet determined if there is a chemical difference between the cell wall and culture filtrate forms of the PhoS1 homologue. The PhoS1 provided by this contract is purified from culture filtrate.
