Cloning of the mgtc promoter into the pSB1A3 plasmid
Kamil
Tasks:
- Amplification of the mgtc promoter using new primers
- pSB1A3 plasmid digest
Methods:
- The PCR mix was prepared as follows:
5μl buffer B (EURx)
2μl 5mM dNTPs (EURx)
5μl forward starter
5μl reverse starter
2μl OptiTaq polymerase (EURx)
2μl Salmonella matrix
29 μl H2O- PCR programme:
4min 95°C
(30s 95°C, 35s 48°C, 40s 72°C)x28
(30s 95°C, 35s 58°C, 40s 72°C)x28
10min 72°C
~ 4°C- The PCR results were visualised with gel electrophoresis on 1% agarose gel.
- The digest mix was prepared as follows:
60μl plasmid isolation
7μl Buffer O (Fermentas)
1μl EcoRI enzyme
1μl PstI enzyme
1μl H2O- The digest was carried out in 37°C for 3h and inactivated for 15 min. in 80°C.
- 1μl of CIAP enzyme was added after the inactivation and allowed to work for 1h in 37°C and was later inactivated for 15 min. in 85°C.
- The resulting mix was separated on 1% agarose gel alongside the PCR and then selected bands were extracted for purification.
Results:
- No gel picture, but the PCR worked so great that I decided not to irradiate the gel with UV light more than it was necessary for band extraction.
Conclusions:
- The temperatures were chosen... wisely.
