CMV PCR (Sabine)
-PCR with primer for the CMV promotor; as DNA template the CMV+RLuc construct from the Ljubljana group (isolated from the parts collection 2007) was used.

For a 50 µl reaction:
40,4 µl H2O
5 µl buffer (10x)
1,5 µl FWD Primer (15pmol)(
1,5 µl REV Primer (15pmol)
1 µl dNTP (10mM)
0,1 µl DNA template
0,5 µl Pfu Polymerase

The settings for the PCR machine are the following:
1. T=94°C 00:02:00
2. T=94°C 00:00:30
3. T=62°C 00:00:30
4. T=72°C 00:01:00
5. GOTO 2 REP 29
6. T=72°C 00:10:00
7. HOLD 6°C

Sep. 12th 2008

1) Origami with NIP and fluorophor for the binding measurement (Norman+Simone)

We had to produce some new origami for our next binding measurements.

  • Origami with NIP and fluorophor
  • Origami only with fluorophor (without NIP); negative control

see at the protocol from 07-24-2008

2) Origami for the Calciummeasurement (Norman+Simone)

  • Origami with NIP
  • Origami without NIP (negative control)

see at the protocol from 07-24-2008

To increase the concentration of origami we also made to probes with the double amount

4)Add 15µl of the mixture/ml of cells -> incubate it in the dark for 45minutes at 37°C, shake it every 15minutes
5)Add 5-10ml medium (use the same medium as the one which will be used for the measurement) and centrifuge it at 1200rpm for 5minutes
6)Take supernatant out. And resuspend the cells to 2-5x10^6 cells/ml

Measurement on the FACS
Ca2+ response was induced by addition of the indicated stimulus 1 min after starting to record the ratio of Ca2+-bound Indo-1 versus unbound Indo-1 with a LSRII fluorescence spectrometer (Becton Dickinson). Data were analyzed with the FloJo 6.1 software.
For the measurement: prewarm 50ml of the medium for the measurement up to 37°C, to make sure that you have the optimal conditions for the cells.
