AB  - In this study, a cost-effective sandwich ELISA test, based on polyclonal antibodies, for routine quantification SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein was developed. The recombinant N protein was produced and used for the production of mice and rabbit antisera. Polyclonal N protein-specific antibodies served as capture and detection antibodies. The prototype ELISA has LOD 0.93 ng/mL and LOQ 5.3 ng/mL, with a linear range of 1.52–48.83 ng/mL. N protein heat pretreatment (56 °C, 1 h) decreased, while pretreatment with 1% Triton X-100 increased analytical ELISA sensitivity. The diagnostic specificity of ELISA was 100% (95% CI, 91.19–100.00%) and sensitivity was 52.94% (95% CI, 35.13–70.22%) compared to rtRT-PCR (Ct < 40). Profoundly higher sensitivity was obtained using patient samples mostly containing Wuhan-similar variants (Wuhan, alpha, and delta), 62.50% (95% CI, 40.59 to 81.20%), in comparison to samples mostly containing Wuhan-distant variants (Omicron) 30.00% (6.67–65.25%). The developed product has relatively high diagnostic sensitivity in relation to its analytical sensitivity due to the usage of polyclonal antibodies from two species, providing a wide repertoire of antibodies against multiple N protein epitopes. Moreover, the fast, simple, and inexpensive production of polyclonal antibodies, as the most expensive assay components, would result in affordable antigen tests.

AB  - Нови корона вирус (SARS CoV-2) који се појавио у Вухану 2019. године припада групи једноланчаних РНК вируса [1]. Представља нови инфективни агенс за хуману популацију и веома је брзо детектован у великом броју земаља. Узрочник је респираторних инфекција које могу да буду праћене и веома тешком клиничком сликом. Брзо ширење, одсуство имунитета на овај вирус и одсуство поузданих тестова за детекцију вируса у тренутку избијања пандемије су болест изазвану овим вирусом брзо претворили у здравствени и друштвени проблем највишег приоритета на глобалном нивоу. Иако су највеће биотехнолошке компаније убрзано почеле са развојем и масовном производњом дијагностичких тестова и вакцина, њихова доступност у тренуцима највеће потражње је и даље недовољна, а цене истих су лимитирајући фактор за бољу контролу болести и ширења пандемије [2]. Развој сопствених и одржива производња тестова и вакцина за COVID-19 су од великог друштвеног значаја. Важан предуслов за одрживу производњу тестова је доступност рекомбинантних антигена вируса и могућност производње истих на великој скали за потребе производње домаћих тестова. Овим техничким решењем се описује добијање два кључна антигена новог корона вируса рекомбинантном технологијом и њихова примена у серолошком ЕЛИСА тесту који производи Институт за примену нуклеарне енергије, ИНЕП, као и за добијање реагенаса за детекцију антигена новог корона вируса (специфичних антитела). У првој фази, оптимизоване су секвенце протеина које су подигле осетљивост постојећих серолошких тестова. Иновативност нашег приступа се огледа и у разрађеним експерименталним протоколима за добијање рекомбинантних протеина нуклеокапсида на великој скали, као и у солубилној форми, што олакшава поступак пречишћавања. Избор фрагмента нуклеокапсида који се хетеролого експримира у солубилној форми, а специфично детектује антитела и генерише јак имуни одговор током имунизације животиња (имуногеност) на основу прегледа познатих епитопских секвенци је кључна иновација овог техничког решења. Ово је први пример успешно примењеног рекомбинатног протеина произведеног у Србији у дијагностичком тесту који је регистрован
код Агенције за лекове и медицинска средства Републике Србије (број решења 515-02-02370-21-002), а који је примену нашао и на међународном нивоу.

AB  - Plastic materials have become indispensable in the modern world, with their extensive use resulting in their environmental accumulation. A promising solution for overcoming this ecological threat may be found in recombinantly produced plastic-degrading enzymes. Due to the complexity of the heterogeneous catalysis occuring during enzymatic PET hydrolysis, quantifying and comparing activities of such enzymes is rendered difficult. Here, we have assessed various assays documented in existing literature, employing different preparations of the purified recombinant Ideonella sakaiensis PETase mutant W159H/S238F (expressed from commercial plasmid Addgene #112203). The investigated methods were as follows: p-nitrophenyl acetate (pNA) hydrolysis assay, bis-(2-hydrohxyethyl)-terephthalate (BHET) agar and PET agar diffusion assays, and UV absorbance monitoring after PET particle and PET bottle cut-out hydrolysis. Additionally, we introduced an indirect colorimetric assay using the indicator pyrocatechol violet (PCV).
Our work reveals many advantages and problems for each of the tested methods. The pNA hydrolysis assay is the quickest, but many substances which are usually present in enzyme buffers and solutions tend to hydrolyse this compound (e.g. imidazole). It is also unspecific due to hydrolysis by other esterase enzymes. The BHET diffusion assay offers a great tool for activity comparison and estimation, with greater enzyme specificity. However, it is slow and accurate activity quantification is difficult. PET hydrolysis was conducted on in-house prepared PET particles with UV spectrophotometric measurement or by a diffusion assay. Due to the measuring wavelength (240 nm), the importance of proper blanking is critical, but accurate results can still be obtained. The sensitivity of the diffusion assay is much lower in comparison to the similar BHET assay. We also report on a modification of the phenol red indirect colorimetric assay using PCV as the indicator and PET particles as the substrate, which has not been previously described in existing literature.

AB  - The optimization of expression conditions is a tedious, but necessary procedure for thesuccessful efficient production of recombinant proteins. Design of experiment (DoE) savestime and resources by using statistics to carefully select only a few experimental points(expression conditions) to obtain information about the whole tested range of variedconditions, unlike the most commonly used one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) method, whichrequires full imput space screening for optimization. Here, we have optimized theexpression conditions of His 6 and His8-mCerulean3-TEV-α-synuclein production from thethe pDUET vector, as well as the His 6-tagged protein from the pET-20b vector andexpressed into the periplasm. The proteins for which optimization was conducted wereexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) and BL21(DE3)pLysS. We have used DoE toplan adequate experimental points for optimization according to a Box-Behnken design,with IPTG concentration, temperature and time variation. After collecting the cultures atgiven experimental points, they were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and densitometry, thenmodelled and statistically analysed. The importance of correct sample preparation and gelloads for densitometric analysis is evident according to the obtained results. The largestexpression level was obtained from the His 8-tagged protein coded by the pDUET vector inE. coli BL21(DE3). We have also used densitometry to analyze expression levels indifferent culture media.

AB  - The optimization of expression conditions is a tedious, but necessary procedure for the
successful efficient production of recombinant proteins. Design of experiment (DoE) saves
time and resources by using statistics to carefully select only a few experimental points
(expression conditions) to obtain information about the whole tested range of varied
conditions, unlike the most commonly used one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) method, which
requires full imput space screening for optimization. Here, we have optimized the
expression conditions of His 6 and His8-mCerulean3-TEV-α-synuclein production from the
the pDUET vector, as well as the His 6-tagged protein from the pET-20b vector and
expressed into the periplasm. The proteins for which optimization was conducted were
expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) and BL21(DE3)pLysS. We have used DoE to
plan adequate experimental points for optimization according to a Box-Behnken design,
with IPTG concentration, temperature and time variation. After collecting the cultures at
given experimental points, they were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and densitometry, then
modelled and statistically analysed. The importance of correct sample preparation and gel
loads for densitometric analysis is evident according to the obtained results. The largest
expression level was obtained from the His 8-tagged protein coded by the pDUET vector in
E. coli BL21(DE3). We have also used densitometry to analyze expression levels in
different culture media.

AB  - Viral exonucleases play role in many processes essential for genome ma intenance,including DNA repair and recombination. Lambda exonuclease (λ -exo), isolated fromlambda bacteriophage, hydrolases double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) in the highly processivemanner in 5’→3’ direction, yielding mononucleotides and single -stranded DNA (ssDNA).This unique enzymatic properties offer several promising biotechnological applications,such as highly sensitive quantification of DNA modifications and single -moleculesequencing. Hence, optimization of the expression conditions is a prerequisite to achievehigh-level production of λ-exo. Here we have tested λ -exo expression in five different E.coli strains under various temperature regimes in order to establish the optimal conditionsfor efficient production of recombinant λ -exo. The N-terminally His -tagged λ-exo wassuccessfully expressed in E.coli BL21(AI), SHuffle T7, C41(DE3) and C43(DE3) strains inLB broth. Collected aliquots were analysed by SDS-PAGE, followed by CBB staining.Relative yield of target protein bands was determined by densitometry in total cell lysate, aswell as in soluble and insoluble cytoplasmatic fractions. We identified E.coli BL21(AI),SHuffle T7 and C41(DE3) as good producers of recombinant λ -exo, and upon scaling up, λ-exo was purified from crude cell lysates by metal affinity chromatography in satisfactoryyield. Our data suggest that densitometric analysis could serve as a powerful low-costscreening platform for improving recombinant protein expression strategies.

AB  - Introduction: Lambda exonuclease (λ-exo), isolated from lambda bacteriophage, plays a crucial role in
DNA replication, repair and recombination. The enzyme specifically hydrolases double-stranded DNA
(dsDNA) in a highly processive manner in 5’�����3’ direction, yielding mononucleotides and single-stranded
DNA (ssDNA). This efficient unidirectional degradation makes it an invaluable tool in various molecular
biology techniques, including novel sequencing technologies. Hence, optimization of the expression
conditions is a prerequisite to achieving high-level production of λ-exo.
Methods: The N-terminally His-tagged λ-exo fusion construct with thrombin cleavage site (AddGene
#104531) was successfully transformed into five different E. coli strains (BL21(AI), Shuffle T7, C41(DE3),
C43(DE3), and BL21(DE3)). Expression was tested under three temperature regimes (20 ˚C, 30 ˚C, and 37
˚C) over time for enhanced soluble production. Crude extracts were analysed by SDS-PAGE for total protein
expression, soluble and insoluble cytoplasmatic fractions. The exonuclease activity of the extracts
was monitored via in-house developed fluorescence-based screening assay. Optimal conditions for highyield
production were determined by densitometric analysis using NIH ImageJ software. The soluble and
active enzyme was produced on the large scale in a shaking flask culture under optimal conditions, and
purified to homogeneity from the soluble lysate via metal affinity chromatography.
Results:We identified E. coli BL21(AI), SHuffle T7, and C41(DE3) as good producers of recombinant λ-exo
and determined optimal conditions (30 ˚C, 6 h post-induction) for high-yield expression. The enzyme was
eluted from Ni2+-IDA-Sepharose 6B column in 300 mM imidazole and maintained its activity upon purification
assessed by an in-house developed fluorescence-based screening assay.
Conclusion: This study provides a scalable cost-effective approach for soluble λ-exo production in selected
E. coli strains. This expression system would be a helpful platform for development of high-yield
production of λ-exo, easing its exploitation in biotechnology and other scientific frontiers. Additionally,
we provided a valuable low-cost screening assay for monitoring exonuclease activity during each purification
step.

AB  - PET hydrolases are enzymes that have been shown to act upon PET as a substrate. Theseenzymes usually adopt an α/β hydrolase fold and are from the classes of esterases, lipases,cutinases, and hydrolases.Here, we have done sequence alignment by ClustalW of the sequences corresponding tothe entries available in the PAZy database (pazy.eu) with the addition of a highly efficientI. sakaiensis PETase mutant W159H/S238F and analyzed the results. The aligned sequencesincluded several different well-aligned segments, which were as follows: 18 single-amino acidsegments, 13 two-amino acid segments, 10 three-amino-acid segments, 1 four-amino acidsegment, 1 six-amino acid segment and 1 eight-amino acid segment. Additionally, at position238, which is adjacent to a highly conserved His237, the most common amino acids wereF,T, S, Y, W, L and G, whereas at position 159, the most common amino acids were W, H, I andL, flanked by a conserved three- and eight-amino acid region. These positions seem to becritical for the improvement of the PET hydrolytic activity based on the comparison ofI. sakaiensis PETase mutant W159H/S238F and wt enzyme.Using AlphaFold 2.0 we have predicted the structures of all enzymes available in the databasewhose structures haven't been previously reported and the presence of the α/β hydrolasemotif has been observed.

AB  - Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a widely used plastic material. Due to its convenient physicochemical properties, it has become irreplaceable in many scientific, industrial, medical and everyday uses, leading to an accumulation of this material in the environment and initiating many ecological problems, especially in marine ecosystems. One of the solutions for overcoming this  ecological threat may be found in recombinantly produced PET degrading enzymes.
The genes encoding proteins with prominent PET hydrolyzing activity (PETases) that have been successfully produced in Escherichia coli are commercially available (Addgene #112203 and #162667). These genes encode Ideonella sakaiensis PETase mutant W159H/S238F, and the fusion of the wild-type enzyme to MHETase (I. sakaiensis mono-(2-hydroxyethyl)terephthalic acid hydrolyzing enzyme).
Initially, we have done sequence alignment by ClustalW of the sequences corresponding to the entries available in the PAZy database (pazy.eu/doku.php) that contains information on many PET-degrading enzymes. We have identified amino acid substitutions that might be of interest for mutation towards improving the PET hydrolytic activity of IsPETase: at position W159 substitutions into H, I and L and at position S238 substitutions into F, T, Y, W, L and G. Since we are aiming to produce all of the abovementioned (double) mutants, we used different bioinformatic tools to predict the expression solubility of the mutated enzymes. To evaluate the accuracy of the available tools we have tested the expression levels and solubility of IsPETase W159H/S238F and IsPETase-MHETase fusion in E. coli. The IsPETase W159H/S238F protein was expressed fully soluble only at 20 oC, whereas the larger (~92 kDa) IsPETase-MHETase fusion protein was insoluble in all tested conditions. NetSolP (services.healthtech.dtu.dk/services/NetSolP-1.0/) gave the most accurate solubility predictions for the tested proteins and we used it for prediction of the solubility of the aimed mutants.

AB  - The accurate diagnosis of people with suspected infection with the SARS-CoV-2 is
essential to curb the global spread of COVID-19. The presence of SARS-CoV-2 can be
detected by RT-PCR (it detects RNA of the virus) or by the presence of viral antigens in
biological fluids in ELISA or similar techniques using antibodies developed in animals.
The aim of the study was the establishment of a quantitative polyclonal sera-based test for
routine measurement of the concentration of SARS CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein using
absorbance measurement in a standard 96-well microtiter plate. For the purposes of the test
development, recombinant N protein was produced and used for the production of mice
and rabbit antisera. Produced antisera were purified and titer was determined. High-affinity
polyclonal N-protein specific antisera were used for N-protein specific ELISA test
development. The test is based on mice polyclonal sera adhered to microtiter plate bottom
for the capture of the N protein from the specimen. Various concentrations of the
recombinant N-protein were used to generate a standard curve for protein quantification.
The N-protein bound to the mice antibodies was detected with rabbit polyclonal sera and
anti-rabbit antibody coupled to an enzyme that provides spectrophotometric measurement.
We have successfully developed the prototype ELISA for the quantification of N-protein
with the detection limit being in the range of ng/mL. The average LOD value for the
prototype ELISA was determined to be 9.2 ng/mL, while the average LOQ value was
10.2 ng/mL. We have demonstrated that produced polyclonal antisera are suitable for the
detection of N-protein with affinity and specificity similar to, or better than commercial
antibodies. Furthermore, the prototype ELISA can be used with satisfactory confidence for
quantification of the N-protein in protein-rich samples, similar to human sera.

AB  - The accurate diagnosis of people with suspected infection with the SARS-CoV-2 isessential to curb the global spread of COVID-19. The presence of SARS-CoV-2 can bedetected by RT-PCR (it detects RNA of the virus) or by the presence of viral antigens inbiological fluids in ELISA or similar techniques using antibodies developed in animals.The aim of the study was the establishment of a quantitative polyclonal sera-based test forroutine measurement of the concentration of SARS CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein usingabsorbance measurement in a standard 96-well microtiter plate. For the purposes of the testdevelopment, recombinant N protein was produced and used for the production of miceand rabbit antisera. Produced antisera were purified and titer was determined. High-affinitypolyclonal N-protein specific antisera were used for N-protein specific ELISA testdevelopment. The test is based on mice polyclonal sera adhered to microtiter plate bottomfor the capture of the N protein from the specimen. Various concentrations of therecombinant N-protein were used to generate a standard curve for protein quantification.The N-protein bound to the mice antibodies was detected with rabbit polyclonal sera andanti-rabbit antibody coupled to an enzyme that provides spectrophotometric measurement.We have successfully developed the prototype ELISA for the quantification of N-proteinwith the detection limit being in the range of ng/mL. The average LOD value for theprototype ELISA was determined to be 9.2 ng/mL, while the average LOQ value was10.2 ng/mL. We have demonstrated that produced polyclonal antisera are suitable for thedetection of N-protein with affinity and specificity similar to, or better than commercialantibodies. Furthermore, the prototype ELISA can be used with satisfactory confidence forquantification of the N-protein in protein-rich samples, similar to human sera.

AB  - Background: The world’s production of whey is estimated to be more than 200 milliontons per year. Although whey is an important source of proteins with high nutritional value andbiotechnological importance, it is still considered as a by-product of the dairy industry with loweconomic value due to low industrial exploitation. There are several challenges in the separation ofwhey proteins: low concentration, the complexity of the material and similar properties (pI, molecularmass) of some proteins.Methods: A narrative review of all the relevant papers on the present methodologies based on ionexchange and adsorption principles for isolation of whey proteins, known to the authors, was conductedResults: Traditional ion exchange techniques are widely used for the separation and purification ofthe bovine whey proteins. These methodologies, based on the anion or cation chromatographicprocedures, as well as the combination of aforementioned techniques are still preferential methodsfor the isolation of the whey proteins on the laboratory scale. However, more recent research on ionexchange membranes for this purpose has been introduced, with promising potential to be appliedon the pilot industrial scale. Newly developed methodologies based either on the ion exchangeseparation (for example: simulated moving bed chromatography, expanded bed adsorption, magneticion exchangers, etc.) or adsorption (for example: adsorption on hydroxyapatite or activatedcarbon, or molecular imprinting) are promising approaches for scaling up of the whey proteins’purification processes.Conclusion: Many procedures based on ion exchange are successfully implemented for the separationand purification of whey proteins, providing protein preparations of moderate-to-high yieldand satisfactory purity. However, the authors anticipate further development of adsorption-basedmethodologies for the separation of whey proteins by targeting the differences in proteins’ structuresrather than targeting the differences in molecular masses and pI. The complex composite multilayeredmatrices, including also inorganic components, are promising materials for simultaneousexploiting of the differences in the masses, pI and structures of whey proteins for the separation.

AB  - Alpha-synuclein is an intrinsically disordered protein prone to aggregation and it is involved in the formation of brain tissue amyloids in patients with Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases. By fluorescently labeling recombinantly expressed proteins, the processes of expression and purification of the same can be easily visually monitored. In a previous work, we have constructed three plasmids for the expression of α-synuclein fused C-terminally to His-tagged mCerulean3 through a polyasparagine linker and tobacco etch virus (TEV) proteolytic site. Here we have transformed these vectors into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) and BL21(DE3)pLysS and optimized the expression conditions by response surface methodology (temperature, time after induction, concentration of induction reagent) of the chimeric proteins coded by vectors. Expression of the chimeric protein was tested at optimal conditions in different media and terrific broth gave the highest yield. The obtained chimeric protein was purified by immobilized metal-affinity chromatography (IMAC), yielding ~29 mg of chimeric protein per liter of medium and was shown to be successfully proteolyzed by TEV protease, giving a fragment of α-synuclein of expected electrophoretic mobility. After another round of IMAC, the obtained α-synuclein of native sequence was mainly found to be in the flow-through.

AB  - Fluorescently labeled proteins are invaluable tools in laboratory practice to assess the in vivo localization and the interactions of proteins. Here we have designed an expression vector with an N-terminal hexahistidine-tagged mCerulean3 fused through a polyasparagine linker and the proteolytic site of tobacco etch virus protease (TEV) to - synuclein. This construct can be used to produce -synuclein of a native sequence after proteolysis with TEV protease. After fusion of the genes for mCerulean3 and -synuclein through a series of polymerase chain reactions (SOEing PCR), the resulting gene for the chimeric protein was cloned into the pDUET-1 plasmid. Escherichia coli BL21(DE3), upon transformation with this construct, can be used to produce the chimeric protein that retained the fluorescent properties of mCerulean3, with a yield of ~2 mg per liter of medium after purification by immobilized metal-affinity chromatography (electrophoretic purity: ~80%). This chimeric protein was successfully proteolyzed by TEV protease.

AB  - Serological testing is important method for diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Nucleocapsid (N) protein is the most abundant virus derived protein and strong immunogen. We aimed to find its efficient, low-cost production.

SARS-CoV-2 recombinant fragment of nucleocapsid protein (rfNP; 58–419 aa) was expressed in E. coli in soluble form, purified and characterized biochemically and immunologically.

Purified rfNP has secondary structure of full-length recombinant N protein, with high percentage of disordered structure (34.2%) and of β-sheet (40.7%). rfNP was tested in immunoblot using sera of COVID-19 convalescent patients. ELISA was optimized with sera of RT-PCR confirmed positive symptomatic patients and healthy individuals. IgG detection sensitivity was 96% (47/50) and specificity 97% (67/68), while IgM detection was slightly lower (94% and 96.5%, respectively).

Cost-effective approach for soluble recombinant N protein fragment production was developed, with reliable IgG and IgM antibodies detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

AB  - Serological testing is important method for diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2) infection and for assessment of immunological response after the vaccination. Nucleocapsid (N) protein is the most abundant virus protein and strong immunogen. The aim was develop efficient, low-cost production of N protein large fragment and to characterize it with bottom-up, high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry and immunologically.
SARS-CoV-2 recombinant fragment of nucleocapsid protein (rfNP; 58–419 aa) was expressed in E. coli in soluble form and purified by several chromatographic steps and was subjected to SDS-PAGE and in-gel digested with trypsin.
rfNP was tested in immunoblot using sera of COVID-19 convalescent patients. ELISA was optimized with sera of RT-PCR confirmed positive symptomatic patients and healthy individuals. IgG detection sensitivity was 96% (47/50) and specificity 97% (67/68), while IgM detection was slightly lower. Identity of rfNP was confirmed with high scores and peptide coverage above 80%. Estimation from the value of areas under ion extracted chromatographic curves is that only up to 0,03% of the total band protein quantity belongs to host proteins, while rfNP share is well above 99,9%, resulting in highly pure nucleocapsid protein preparation.

abstract = "Serological testing is important method for diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2) infection. Nucleocapsid (N) protein is the most abundant virus derived protein and strong immunogen. We aimed to find its efficient, low-cost production, suitable for serological diagnosis. SARS-CoV-2 recombinant fragment of nucleocapsid protein (rfNP; 58–419 aa) was expressed in E. coli in soluble form, purified by immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography and strong cation exchange chromatography after which it was analyzed by Mass and CD spectrometry and characterized biochemically and immunologically. Purified rfNP has secondary structure of full-length recombinant N protein, with high percentage of disordered structure (34.2%) and of β-sheet (40.7%). rfNP was tested in immunoblot using sera of COVID-19 convalescent patients. ELISA was optimized with sera of RT-PCR confirmed positive symptomatic patients and healthy individuals. IgG detection sensitivity was 96% (47/50) and specificity 97% (67/68), while IgM detection was
slightly lower (94% and 96.5%, respectively). Cost-effective approach for soluble recombinant N protein fragment production was developed, with reliable IgG and IgM antibodies detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection.",

AB  - Pollen allergies have tremendous global clinical impact. Diagnosis of allergy in a clinical setting
is based on the use of purified allergens which are considered to be more accurate and sensitive
than crude pollen extracts. Thus, proper identification and characterization of allergens at the
molecular level and production of a recombinant counterpart are of outmost importance for the
efficient use of the current diagnostic tools for allergy. Recombinant allergens are nowadays
produced instead of natural, as isolation of a natural allergen is a troublesome process. Tree
pollens that are most commonly associated with respiratory allergies are produced by birch in the
Northern, Central, and Eastern Europe, and by olive and cypress in the Mediterranean regions.
Accordingly, most research so far has focused on the allergenicity of pollens from birch, olive and
cypress. Allergy to linden pollen has been known, but no allergen has been described from this
source yet. Here we propose cloning and production of the first recombinant linden pollen
allergen that can be used as a marker allergen of linden pollen allergenicity and complement
existing diagnostic allergen-arrays. Also, production of this recombinant allergen has potential to
contribute to the development of novel allergen-diagnostic tools through collaborations with
biotech companies.

AB  - The COVID-19 diagnostic tools are categorized into two main groups of Nucleic Acid (NA)-
based and protein-based tests. To date, nucleic acid-based detection has been announced as the
gold-standard strategy for coronavirus detection; however, protein-based tests are promising
alternatives for rapid and large-scale screening of susceptible groups. During the first months, no
rapid and reliable detecting tool was readily available to adequatly respond to the requirement of
massive testing. The aim was to develope cost-effective, sensitive and rapid screening
mechanisms for the detection of immune response to SARS-CoV2 (which causes COVID-19),
based on the principle of ELISA. The institute INEP has developed tests for detection of IgM
and IgG SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies based on S and N proteins of virus intended to monitor
different phases of natural infection, ELISA test for IgG detection in naturale infection based on
the use of exclusively domestic components of the ELISA kit (including proteins produced in
Serbia, Faculty of Chemistry) and a test specifically designed to monitor the effects of
immunization (determination of IgG antibodies specific for the RBD domain of S protein). The
tests were independently validated at the relevant laboratories in the country and abroad, and
compared to an FDA/WHO approved tests of a major test producers. All testing for validation
was carried out on samples collected before COVID19 (negative controls), PCR confirmed
COVID19 samples (positive controls) and potencialy cross-reactive samples (other pathogens
and autoimmune diseases). The antibody tests showed high levels of sensitivity and specificity
and extremely low background noises. The kits are extremely stable, have a shelf life of 1 year
and opened kits are usable up to 3 months at storing temperatures of 5°C

AB  - Nucleocapsid (N) protein is the most abundant SARS-CoV-2 virus derived protein and strong immunogen which can be used as a component of the immunological tests for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Recombinant fragment of N-protein (58–419 aa) was expressed in E. coli in a soluble form using developed optimized protocol of expression (16-18h, 37 °C, 0.4 mM IPTG). After lysis of cells, N-protein from soluble fraction of lysate was purified using optimized protocol for purification by immobilized metal affinity chromatography on Ni-Sepharose in two repeated steps under different elution conditions. Obtained fraction of N-protein after the second chromatography was desalted and concentrated using phosphate buffer solution and ultrafiltration. The purity of isolated N-protein was deterrmined by SDS PAGE, while high resolution mass spectrometry was used for its characterization. Isolated N-protein was over 90% purity and identified as the most intense and abundant protein fragment, with PEAKS PTM score of 508 and sequence coverage of over 70%, including 173 unique peptides.
