1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundDue to the association of hypermutated colorectal cancer (CRC) with many neo-antigens, poly-neo-epitopes are attractive vaccines. The molecular features of murine CT26 are similar to those of aggressive human CRC. CT26 contains some antigenic mutations, which can provide specific immunotherapy targets. Herein, we aimed to express, and purify the previously designed hexatope containing CT26 neoepitopes, CT26-poly-neoepitopes. METHODS AND

resultsIn the current study, expression of the CT26-poly-neoepitopes was optimized in three different Escherichia coli strains including BL21 (DE3), Origami (DE3), and SHuffle®. Furthermore, the effect of ethanol on the CT26-poly-neoepitopes expression was investigated. The highest amount of CT26-poly-neoepitopes, which included CT26-poly-neoepitopes with the uncleaved pelB signal sequence and the processed one, was achieved when BL21 containing pET-22 (CT26-poly-neoepitopes) was induced with 0.1 mM IPTG for 48 h at 22 ºC in the presence of 2% ethanol. However, 37 ºC was the optimized induction temperature for expression of the CT26-poly-neoepitopes in the absence of ethanol. To purify the CT26-poly-neoepitopes, Ni-NTA affinity chromatography under denaturing and hybrid conditions were applied. High and satisfactory CT26-poly-neoepitopes purity was achieved by the combined urea and imidazole method.

conclusionThe effect of ethanol on expression of the CT26-poly-neoepitopes was temperature-dependent. Furthermore, the pelB-mediated translocation of the CT26-poly-neoepitopes into the periplasm was inefficient. Moreover, higher concentration of imidazole in the washing buffer improved the CT26-poly-neoepitopes purification under hybrid condition. Overall, the immunogenicity of CT26-poly-neoepitopes expressed in BL21 under the optimum condition and purified under hybrid condition can be studied in our future in vivo study.
