Although infection with Campylobacter jejuni is one of the leading causes of gastroenteritis worldwide, relatively little is known about the factors that are required to elicit a protective immune response. The need for a vaccine against this pathogen is well recognized and a number of vaccine candidates have been tested with varying degrees of success; however, there is still a lack of a suitable vaccine. To gain a better understanding of the outer-membrane protein components of this organism, a ‘gold standard’ method to purify the outer membrane is needed. Therefore, we attempted to develop a robust and reliable method which resulted in a pure outer-membrane fraction. A total of nine methodologies were examined and analysed by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting using subcellular markers for the cytoplasm, cytoplasmic membrane and outer membrane. We found that glycine extraction, differential detergent extraction using Triton X-100, serial extraction using 1 M Tris pH 7, spheroplasting by lysozyme and sonication, and carbonate extraction did not produce pure outer-membrane preparations. However, we identified three methods that provided outer-membrane fractions free from subcellular contamination. Isopycnic centrifugation using a 30–60 % sucrose gradient produced seven fractions free from cytoplasmic or cytoplasmic membrane contamination; however, these fractions did not correspond as well as expected with the typical outer-membrane-associated peak (e.g. Escherichia coli or Salmonella). The spheroplast method using lysozyme alone also resulted in pure outer-membrane fraction, as did carbonate washing of this sample. The extraction of outer membranes using N-lauroylsarcosine (Sarkosyl) produced the purest and most reproducible sample. These outer-membrane preparations will be useful for future studies aimed at identifying C. jejuni surface proteins as vaccine components.
