Figure 7. Biacore SPR Analysis of YLDV-IL18BP mutants.

Figure 7

Biotinylated IL18 was captured on a BIAcore streptavidin-coated CM5 chip, and its binding with IL18BP was monitored with a BIAcore 3000 sensor. All the YLDV-IL18BP proteins were expressed in E. coli as SUMO fusion and purified to near homogeneity. The IL18BP mutants were derived from the monomeric form of the protein with the HVEC mutation. The injection of IL18BP started at ∼150 s and stopped at 900 s. The colored lines are the responses obtained with different IL18BP mutants and normalized to a maximum of 100 resonance units (RU) (except for Y56A) for ease of comparison.
