(c) In vitro proliferation assay comparing on-demand, locally produced in Canada (blue) and commercial (green) FGF-1 growth factors in NIH-3T3 cells. Cells were individually treated with varying concentrations (1, 5, 10, 50, 500, and 1000 ng/mL) of growth factor. Luminescence was measured using a conventional plate reader. Data are shown as mean ± SD, n = 3. (d) In vitro proliferation assay comparing on-demand, locally produced (blue) and commercial (green) IL-3 growth factors in TF-1 cells. Cells were individually treated with varying concentrations (0.025, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1, and 5 ng/mL). This representative data was obtained using reagents produced on-site in Canada.

This representative data was obtained using reagents produced on-site in Brazil. Relative fold proliferation was plotted as the fold-change compared to untreated, serum-starved cells under the same experimental conditions. Data are shown as mean ± SD, n = 3.

Monomer (left) and homotetramer (right) colored by domain (PDB: 6CVM51). (B) b-gal ribosome:nascent chain complex (RNC) constructs. (C) RNC purification scheme. (D) Coomassie-stained SDS-PAGE of b-gal RNCs illustrated in (B) and purified as in (C) via two 1 M KOAc sucrose cushions. Bands corresponding to nascent chains (*) migrate higher (by 20 kDa) than expected based on protein molecular weight due to the covalently bound tRNA. (-) Released b-gal co-purifying with the RNCFL + 50G/S. Trigger factor (TF) and ribosomal protein S1 are indicated. The last lane contains purified full-length b-gal. Figure shows lanes from two in- dependent gels. Removal of unnecessary gel lanes is indicated by a dashed black line. (E) Intensity-based absolute quantification (iBAQ) of TF co-purified with RNCs in low- or high-salt. Values are normalized to the average iBAQ value of all 70S ribosomal proteins. TF was present at low (B) or high (C) levels in both purification conditions or exhibited salt-sensitive behavior (H). Where shown, error bars correspond to SD of 3 technical replicates.

(b) Western blot analysis of CFPS-produced SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein exhibiting a distinct band at the expected molecular weight (49 kDa). The SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein from SinoBiologicals, a commercially available recombinant protein, was used as a positive control (Ctrl +). N (CFPS) refers to the antigen expressed using in-house CFPS reactions. The molecular weight ladder (in kilodaltons) is shown on the left. Data shown are from one representative biological replicate out of three independent experiments. (c) Endotoxin levels in CFPS-produced SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein. Three different strategies were used for antigen expression: 1) cell-free lysates made from E. coli BL21(DE3); 2) cell-free lysates from E. coli BL21(DE3) followed by endotoxin removal; 3) cell-free lysates prepared from ClearColi TM BL21(DE3), an engineered E. coli strain used to express endotoxin-free recombinant proteins, making it ideal for expression of therapeutic products. The dashed line indicates the standard guidelines for subunit-based vaccine formulations (<20 EU/mL). Data are shown as mean ± SD, n = 3. (d) Immunization schedule, indicating prime, boost and bleed timepoints, for the CFPS-derived Nuvax. Intramuscular (IM) vaccination was administered on days 0 (prime) and 15 (boost), and blood was drawn on days 7, 14, 21, and 28 to evaluate for induction of IgG production. (e) Robust neutralizing antibody response following Nuvax administration alongside group controls. Analysis was performed using ELISA and measured at OD 450 nm using a conventional plate reader. The data are presented as the mean ± SD for each group, with individual data points shown (control group that received only PBS, n = 5; control group that received only adjuvants, n = 5; Nuvax group, n = 5). Statistical differences were determined by two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc multiple comparisons test: ns p > 0.05, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001.

(b) Western blot analysis of CFPS-produced SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein exhibiting a distinct band at the expected molecular weight (49 kDa). The SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein from SinoBiologicals, a commercially available recombinant protein, was used as a positive control (Ctrl +).

(D) Coomassie-stained SDS-PAGE of b-gal RNCs illustrated in (B) and purified as in (C) via two 1 M KOAc sucrose cushions. Bands corresponding to nascent chains (*) migrate higher (by 20 kDa) than expected based on protein molecular weight due to the covalently bound tRNA. (-) Released b-gal co-purifying with the RNCFL + 50G/S. Trigger factor (TF) and ribosomal protein S1 are indicated. The last lane contains purified full-length b-gal. Figure shows lanes from two in- dependent gels. Removal of unnecessary gel lanes is indicated by a dashed black line. (E) Intensity-based absolute quantification (iBAQ) of TF co-purified with RNCs in low- or high-salt. Values are normalized to the average iBAQ value of all 70S ribosomal proteins. TF was present at low (B) or high (C) levels in both purification conditions or exhibited salt-sensitive behavior (H). Where shown, error bars correspond to SD of 3 technical replicates.

    Figure 5. Architecture of complexes between DnaK and RNCs (A) Binding of DnaJ/K to RNCs. Left: co-sedimentation assay. Empty ribosomes or RNCs purified from DTF E. coli were incubated with DnaK, co-chaperones, and ATP, then centrifuged through a sucrose cushion to separate the ribosomal fraction (pellet) from unbound (co-)chaperones (supernatant). Right: Coomassie- stained SDS-PAGE of the resuspended ribosomal pellet. RNC1–646 was incubated with either DnaK (+K), DnaJ (+J), both DnaK and DnaJ (+KJ), or DnaK, DnaJ, and GrpE (+KJ+E), with or without ATP as indicated. An immunoblot against DnaJ is shown below. (B) Client processing by the Hsp70 system. DnaJ and GrpE control the transition of DnaK between conformations with low (ATP state) and high (ADP state) affinity for the client protein. (C) XL-MS of DnaK:RNC complexes. Top: number of unique crosslinks between each DnaK domain (NBD: purple, SBD: pink) and the NC of different b-gal RNCs. Bottom: crosslinks between DnaK and RNC1–646. (D) Number of unique crosslinks between DnaK and residues on each NC, grouped according to their position in b-gal domains as in Figure 3A. (E) Cysteine-painting analysis of b-gal conformation. Error bars correspond to the SD of 3 independent labeling reactions. (F) Effect of DnaK on NC conformation. Top: difference in deuterium uptake, after 10 or 100 s deuteration, between NC peptides in RNC1–646 with or without bound DnaK. Lower values indicate less deuteration of peptides in DnaK-bound RNC1–646. Bottom: regions showing changes in deuterium uptake R0.5 Da at either time point are mapped onto the structure of b-gal truncated after 626 residues. Residues on RNC1–646 that crosslink to DnaK are shown as orange spheres. Regions that were not covered in the experiment are colored dark gray.
