The result is wrong, so MiniPrep plasmids containing reverse lacI or promoter respectively and measure its concentration

2009.8.1

9:00
Pick up the colony and shake in the incubator

2009.8.2

11:00
Pick up 21 colonies and identify the results by PCR
It turns out that all the plasmids are self-ligation of the vector

21:00
ligate reverse lacI insert with lacI promoter again

2009.8.3

01:00
transformaiton

14:01
do the ligation again using the vector provided by WSK

20:00
transform the ligation product into DH5a

2009.8.4

Colony PCR
Lane1-39: my sample
Other lanes: WSK’s sample
The number of the right-sized insert: 1,2,3,5,11,12,17,18,19,21,22,23,25,26,27,31,32,33,35,37

22:25
pick up the colonies 11,12,17,21,25,31,35 and shake in the 37 centigrade incubator
Since the vector used for ligation this time is enzyme digested overnight without addition of BSA by WSK, the PCR results finally has the right insert band, about 1.5 kb.

2009.8.5

Enzyme digest plasmid 5 to get the insert: reverse lacI+promoter
PKU 20090810 Siheng He 1.JPG

Digestion confirmation
PKU 20090810 Siheng He 2.JPG

As shown in the figure, there are two bands, vector and insert respectively, it should be right
Recycle the insert in the gel and ligate it with GFP vector, then transform into DH5a

2009.8.11

Pick up nine colonies from the plate and PCR to check the results
PKU 20090811 Siheng He 1.JPG

As shown in the figure, 5.1-5.6 are all achromatic, but electrophoresis results show that they are self-ligation.
Shake colonies 5.7-5.9 which are green and shake them in the incubator, then MiniPrep plamid after 10 hours.

SampleConcentration(×50µg/mL)
5.71.4882
5.81.9782
5.91.5369

The results indicate that lacI with degradation tag LVA may not inhibit the expression of GFP
Use synthesized primer and universal reverse primer to PCR tetR-GFP plasmid, electrophoresis and cut gel to recycle the insert.

2009.8.12

Double enzyme digestion 5.7~5.9 plasmid, electrophoresis. It seems that only 5.8 insert is right
Use delete LVA primer (forward primer as control) to PCR plasmid 5, 5.7, 5.8.
PKU 20090812 Siheng He 1.JPG
As shown in the figure, to my surprise, 5F also shows positive result. Gel recycle of 5R. Since elongation time is short for 5.7 and 5.8, both results cannot be judged.

2009.8.13

Use dLVA primer to PCR plamid 5(no GFP), enzyme digestion and gel recycle the lacI insert, then ligate it with GFP vector.
Use dLVA primer to PCR plasmid 5.7 and 5.7(contain GFP), gel recycle to get the insert.
