This video demonstrates the isolation and concentration of bacterial culture filtrate proteins, which include bacterial extracellular vesicles, using ultrafiltration. The concentrated extracellular vesicles serve as diagnostic markers for disease detection.
Protocol
1. Preparation of crude Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) extracellular vesicle (EV) concentrate NOTE: For detailed procedures on the cultivation of Mtb and preparation of culture filtrate protein (CFP). It is recommended that bacterial culture media is free from growth supplements with EV-containing or proteinaceous components, such as Oleic Albumin Dextrose Catalase (OADC), and detergents such as Tween. It is also recommended that the bacterial culture…
