Figure 5

Effect of cultivation medium composition on production of HIV-1 CA. NiCo21(DE3)-pACYC-RIL expressing HIV-1 CA were grown in various cultivation media supplemented with 1% glucose and 0.05 mM IPTG at 22°C for 12 hours. Cultures were adjusted to 1.5OD600 (to normalize the biomass) and 8 uL of culture was analyzed using SDS-PAGE (A). M, Pre-stained protein ladder; Lanes UI, un-induced; Lanes I, IPTG-induced. Comparison of HIV-1 CA production levels obtained using different growth media (B). Cells were harvested, lysed, and subjected to Chitin/IMAC purification. Eluted protein was quantitated and HIV-1 CA produced from 1L of biomass was calculated.
