Strep-Tactin Resins (Superflow (high capacity))

Strep-Tactin¢ç Superflow¢ç & Strep-Tactin¢ç Superflow¢ç high capacity

for purification of Strep-tag¢ç II proteins by gravity flow, low pressure or FPLC

Both Strep-Tactin¢ç Superflow¢ç resins

  • combine outstanding flow characteristics with superior mechanical stability
  • are suitable for increased flow rates and useful for purification of large protein complexes
  • come in pre-packed Strep-Tactin¢ç columns for gravity flow applications
  • or in the Strep-Tactin¢ç cartridges H-PR* ("highly pressure-resistant") for work with automated workstations
  • yield much higher protein purity (> 95 %) than 6xHistidine-tag
    purification on Ni-NTA Superflow¢ç
While Strep-Tactin¢ç Superflow¢ç is available at very competitive prices the Strep-Tactin¢ç Superflow¢ç high capacity resin offers improved binding capacity but identical high protein purity compared to standard Strep-Tactin¢ç Superflow¢ç. Thus, it is the perfect solution for Strep-tag¢ç protein purification.

The Strep-Tactin¢ç Superflow¢ç high capacity resin

  • provides 2 to 3 times higher binding capacity than standard Strep-Tactin¢ç Superflow¢ç (150 – 500 nmol or 3 – 15 mg recombinant Strep-tag¢ç fusion protein per ml sedimented resin) 
  • enables a cost effective purification of higher protein amounts with optimal purity 
  • isolation of comparable protein yields with His-tag/Ni-NTA purification

Strep-Tactin¢ç Superflow¢ç for intact virus like particle (VLP) 4.8 MDa purification

1 liter culture was induced at an OD600 of 0.6 using anhydrotetracycline (AHT) and protein expression was performed at 37 ¡ÆC for 3 hours at 200 rpm. Then, cells were pelleted, resuspended in 20 ml Buffer W (100 mM Tris-Cl, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA) and sonicated. The insoluble material was pelleted and the crude lysate was loaded on a Strep-Tactin¢ç Superflow¢ç column at a flow rate of 1 ml/minute. After washing off the host proteins, the VLPs fused to Strep-tag¢ç II were eluted using 2.5 mM desthiobiotin in Buffer W. pASK-IBA7 was used for cloning.
For the purification of intact VLPs the careful choice of both an ideal affinity tag system and the resin support is important:
1) The affinity chromatography process should be mild in order to keep the VLPs intact which is met by using Strep-tag¢ç.
2) The resin support packing within the column must allow penetration of the large VLPs. 
While MacroPrep¢ç carriers did not meet criterion (2), since the viral particles accumulated on top of the column, Sepharose¢ç and Superflow¢ç allowed the purification. Superflow¢ç can be used in FPLC systems whereas Sepharose¢ç is only suitable for gravity flow purification.
