- We are going to use pSB1A3 instead of PSB1C3 (Ampicillin resistance instead chloramphenicol resistance). We are transforming cells with them.
Date: 07/17/09
- We miniprep the DNA from the overnight liquid cultures of pSB1A3-RFP. Now, we are digesting pSB1A3 with EcoRI and SpeI according to the same protocol from 07/15/09). We are using 11ul of SB1A3 plasmid DNA (500ng at 6.2ng/ul) to make 20ul of double digests. We are adding 3ul of dH2O to the digest. However, the gel extraction fails because too much gel (1.2g) was cut out.
Date: 07/19/09
- We are ligating Signal Peptide insert into pSB1A3 according to the following:
- Ligation with a total volume of 10ul:
- Linearized DNA and semi vol vector = 2 – 4 ul
- 1x Ligase Buffer
- T4 DNA Ligase = 200ul
- The gel extraction’s concentration turns out to be too low so we are redoing the digest of pSB1A3 with EcoRI+ SpeI using Tom Knights Protocol:
50ul Reaction
- NEB2 Buffer/ Multicore = 5ul
- pSB1A3 DNA (700ng) = 15ul
- 100x BSA = 0.5ul
- EcoRI = 1ul
- SpeI = 1ul
- dH2O = 27.4ul
- We run the digest program on Thermal Cycler. We are incubating the digest at 37oC for 10 hr, then at 80 oC for 20min, and at 4 oC forever or until we need it.
