doi: 10.64898/2026.01.14.699418
Figure Lengend Snippet: a. Schematic representation of the construct, pOmniDetect-G1 . FM’M-UD, an artificial promoter; Z, γ-zein signal peptide (1-19 aa, Q548E8); CTB, cholera toxin-B subunit (WP_338286491.1); LK2, linker GGGGSx2; GB3, three copies of B1 domain of Streptococcal protein G; HRP, horseradish peroxidase; 6xHis, His-tag; HDEL, ER-retention signal; 3PRt, artificial composite terminator. b. Conceptual design of OmniDetect-G1 generated in BioRender using structures imported from the PDB database. c-e. Expression of Omnidetect-G1. Leaf samples were collected at 3, 5, and 7 dpi; total soluble protein was extracted, separated on 10% SDS-PAGE, and analyzed by CBB-staining and western blot using Anti-His IgG. Relative expression levels were quantified as mean gray values of the target band and plotted. f-h. Purification, quantification, and multimer analysis of OmniDetetc-G1 protein. M, protein marker; TSP; total soluble protein; UB, unbound fraction; W washing fraction; E, elution fractions (E1, 50 mM imidazole; E2, 100 mM; E3, 250 mM). The arrow indicates the target protein band. i-j. Side-by-side comparison of commercial HRP-conjugated anti-mouse and anti-rabbit secondary antibodies with OmniDetect-G1 in a western blot. k. ELISA comparing commercial anti-rabbit secondary antibodies with OmniDetect-G1. Data are represented as mean ± SE (n = 3). Error bars indicate standard error. P-values were calculated by Student’s t-test. The OmniDetect-G1 conceptual protein structure was created using Biorender.com . PDB ID: CTB: 1PZJ, GB1: 1GB1, HRP: 1HCH.
Article Snippet: Membranes were then incubated overnight at 4 °C with one of the following primary antibodies diluted 1:1,000 in TBST containing 3% non-fat dry milk: mouse anti-His (Novus, AD1.1.10), rabbit anti-GFP (GenScript, Cat# A01388, USA), mouse anti-GFP (Living Colors JL-8, Cat# 632381, USA), or chicken anti-His (abcam, Cat# ab9107, United Kingdom).
