Phone Conference

5/27/09

(Pacific Time)


 * 8:20PM: Meeting starts after a lot of technical difficulties


 * 8:22: Brad Lowell at Harvard does not have UCP2, Invitrogen may have it looked up UCPs on invitrogen
 * What expression vectors has the past iGEM teams used?
 * We need E. coli expression vectors


 * 8:32	Ahmad, ask them for the UCP


 * 8:29: Indu wrote a nicely worded email.


 * 8:31: Picking holins (there’s 3000!)
 * There are some in the registry
 * UC Berkeley from last year used Holin
 * Ahmad will ask them for a couple Holins


 * 8:49: 	CCDB – stops cell growth – can be another redundant mechanism
 * It is in the registry


 * 8:56: All of the parts so far are in the registry, we need a unique part to submit to the registry


 * 9:01: We need to schedule a meeting with the panel for when we get back!

 * 9:15: Somebody else – research a tight repressor!!


 * 9:17: Indu will follow up phone call the lab for the tick protein
 * Second idea to the histamine binding protein – have something that also binds IgE antibodies
 * This provides redundancy – both binding current histamine and stopping further secretion of histamine
 * Link them with glycine bridge


 * 9:26: Probiotic system: natural bacteria that secretes protein into bloodstream
 * We have getting it into the system from MIT yogurt

 * 9:45: Indu found a paper on protein that binds IGE antibody – she will put it on the google group
 * Somebody needs to research IGE
 * Eli will put up a paper about packaging
 * Will is emailing about drug delivery systems


 * 9:46: Any paper that may be useful to either project will be put on the google groups


 * 9:56: Before 8pm PST – everyone go on the google group and build on the research that’s already been done.


 * 10:00: Secretion: Eli, Will, Ashley
 * OK everyone just decide what to research on the google group.
