Purification was conducted automatically on an ÄKTA Xpress system operated by UNICORN software at a flow of 0.8 ml/min. Prior to purification columns were equilibrated with IMAC Bind/Wash1 Buffer (HiTrap Chelating HP) and Gel filtration buffer (Superdex 200). The protein sample was loaded on the HiTrap Chelating column and was washed with IMAC Bind/Wash1 Buffer followed by IMAC Wash2 Buffer. Bound protein was eluted from the IMAC columns with 7.5 ml of IMAC Elution Buffer and loaded onto the Gel filtration column. The chromatogram from gel filtration showed one major protein peak that mainly consisted of ASUCLA-h001 as shown by SDS-PAGE analysis. TCEP was added to the pooled protein peak to a final concentration of 2 mM. The protein started to precipitate after pooling and was centrifuged for 1h at 49 000 x g, 4°C, then concentrated and centrifuged again for 15 min at 24 100 x g, 4 degC to 11.98 mg/ml and stored at -80 degC.
