A) Large scale purification and identification of recombinant CCR5-T4L. Recombinant CCR5-T4L was expressed in E. coli. The pET-20b expression vector was transformed into Rosetta 2 (DE3) golden BL21 pLysS cells and analyzed using Coomassie brilliant blue R-250. Lane M: protein marker; lane 1: uninduced bacterial lysate; lane 2: IPTG-induced bacteria lysate; lane 3: small amount of soluble fraction purified on a Ni-nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) histidine-binding column; lane 4: small amount of membrane fraction purified using a Ni-nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) histidine-binding column; lane 5: large amount of soluble fraction purified by fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) using an AKTA purifier; lane 6: large amount of membrane fraction purified by fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) using an AKTA purifier. B and C) Western blot analyses using the anti-6×His tag monoclonal or anti-human CCR5 monoclonal antibodies (3A9).
