08:48Separation and Fractionation of Culture Filtrate Proteins (CFPs) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis
554
This protocol describes the culturing, harvesting, and concentration of secreted proteins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Culture filtrate proteins (CFPs) are quantified, separated into 20 fractions by isoelectric focusing, and further resolved into 30 fractions using a preparative SDS-PAGE and an electroelution system.

06:14Separation and Fractionation of Cell Wall and Cell Membrane Proteins from Mycobacterium tuberculosis for Downstream Protein Analysis
575
This protocol separates insoluble cell wall and membrane proteins into simple fractions (1-5 proteins) using preparative isoelectric focusing (IEF) based on isoelectric point, followed by separation by molecular weight. The resulting fractions can be used directly for immunological and proteomic analysis without further...

Tuberculosis and malaria are two of the most prevalent infections in humans and major causes of morbidity and mortality in impoverished populations in the tropics. We established an experimental model system to study outcome of malaria-tuberculosis coinfection in mice after challenge with both pathogens via their natural route of...
