- Transformed E.Coli cells with recombinant plasmids and screened for positive clones
- Protein Expression and Purification: Expressed HEV capsid proteins in suitable host cells
- Utilized the AKTA chromatography system for protein purification
- Conducted affinity and size-exclusion chromatography to obtain highly purified VLPs
- Western Blotting: Performed SDS-PAGE and Western blotting to confirm the expression and integrity of the HEV capsid proteins
- Used specific antibodies to detect the target proteins and ensure their proper folding and assembly
- RNA Isolation: Isolated RNA from various biological samples to study the expression levels of HEV genes
- Employed techniques such as TRIzol extraction and column-based purification methods
- Animal Experiments: Designed and conducted animal studies to evaluate the immunogenicity and efficacy of the prepared VLPs
- Administered VLPs to animal models and monitored immune responses
- Collected and analysed serum samples to measure antibody titers using ELISA
- Project Writing and Submission: Involved in writing detailed project proposals and reports for submission to the Department of Biotechnology (DBT)
- Coordinated with team members to compile experimental data and results
- Prepared presentations and documentation to support grant applications and project updates
- Outcome: The project aimed to create a viable vaccine candidate against Hepatitis E Virus by leveraging the immunogenic properties of VLPs
- The work involved extensive laboratory techniques and collaborative efforts to achieve significant milestones in vaccine development
