CCL21

thingiverse

The STL file was created by three immunology students - Sherazade, Aurore, and Mickael - at the University of Toulouse. They used this file to print the CCL21 chemokine molecule. This project was part of a pedagogical scenario aimed at teaching students how to analyze and handle 3D structures, resulting in a gallery of immunologically significant molecules. The printing took place at CampusFab, the University's LabLab (https://fablab.univ-tlse3.fr/wiki/index.php/Accueil), where they have a Twitter account (@campusfab). Printer Settings: Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer Model: MakerBot Replicator 2 Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Designing This Project Instructions: The 3D protein structure was obtained from the Protein Data Bank (http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/home/home.do) with accession number 2L4N. It was downloaded in .gz format and then converted for 3D printing using Chimera software (http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/). The file was saved as an STL file.
