HB36.5 Flu binding protein

A flu binding protein originally shown to binding H1, a subtype of Hemagglutinin on the surface of the Influenza virus. This was originally identified and tested by both Fleishmen et al, and Whitehead et al., respectively.

Usage and Biology

This part was tested by the [http://2012.igem.org/Team:Washington 2012 University of Washington] iGEM team to bind to various subtypes of Hemagglutinin in Group 1.To test BBa _K892401, it was inserted into a protein expression vector, pETCON. HB36.5 was then produced and transformed into yeast as described in the [http://2012.igem.org/Team:Washington/Protocols/Yeast 2012 Team's Yeast Transformation Protocol]. The binding protein was then tested for activity against H2. For a detailed description of the methodology, please see the [http://2012.igem.org/Team:Washington/Protocols/Display 2012 UW iGEM Yeast Surface Display protocol]. The resulting data is shown below.

HB36.5 and its variants tested against hemagglutinin subtype 2. HB36.5 is shown to have very little activity in binding H2.
HB36.5 tested using Yeast surface display at both 0 nM H2 on the left, and 100 nM H2 on the right. Both cytometry plots show little to no binding to H2.
