Fig 2. Characterization of head-only immunogens i-273, i-693, i-210 and i-447.

(A-D) Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) analysis of all four immunogens after purification by affinity chromatography. For each immunogen an asterisk indicates the peak that was chosen for antigenic, physical, structural and immunization studies. The calculated molecular weight (MW) in kDa based on elution volume and the predicted MW based on the sequence and predicted glycan content (2.5 kDa/glycan) are also indicated. Immunogens i-273, i-693, i-210 and i-447 were predicted to have two, four, three and three glycans respectively based on the occurrence of NXT/S sequons in the sequence. (E) Reduced SDS-PAGE analysis (3μg/well) of immunogens (1) i-273, (2) i-693, (3) i-210 and (4) i-447 pooled from the asterisk-indicated peaks in (A-D). Doublet bands likely arise from differential glycosylation.
