Synthesis of Nanodisc-Stabilized Membrane Protein Antigens Using a Cell-Free System

Source: Gilmore, S. F., et al. Cell-Free Scaled Production and Adjuvant Addition to a Recombinant Major Outer Membrane Protein from Chlamydia muridarum for Vaccine Development. J. Vis. Exp. (2022)This video demonstrates the cell-free synthesis of nanodisc-stabilized membrane protein antigens using a dual-compartment system. The device maintains optimal conditions for efficient protein synthesis, proper folding, and stable integration into nanodiscs.
