CMV PCR
I did a PCR with primer for the CMV promotor. As DNA template I used the CMV+RLuc construct from the Ljubljana group which I isolated from the parts collection 2007.

For a 50 µl reaction I used:
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

I got no product.

1) Origami with NIP and fluorophor for the binding measurement

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

  • 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

ingredients of the protocol from 07-24-2008

3) Master cycler

The origamis were produced in the mastercycler as explained before.

 4) Purification of the DNA Origami

Was done as before

5) Digestion of CMV+Rluc
Digestion with EcoRV und FspI(3h at 37°C)

  • 5µl plasmid
  • 10µl H2O
  • 0,5µl enzyme
  • 2,5µl buffer (2)
  • 0,5µl BSA

6) CMV PCR
I tried the same PCR with different annealing temperatures. The optimal annealing temperature is 62°C. I used a gradient between 58°C and 62°C. I again got no products.

CMV PCR
I again tried the CMV PCR, but this time with different polymerases. I used the Taq Polymerase and a Mix. I also tried one approach with the complete plasmid and one with the digested plasmid (see digestion of CMV+Rluc) I got products in the approach with taq polymerase as well as in the approach with the Mix. I cut out 3 bands from each approach.

09-16-2008

Gel purification
I did a gel purification of the PCR products.

Digestion of the PCR products and the transfectionvector
Digestion with EcoRI and PstI. Then Kathrin did a ligation.

09-18-2008

Transformation
I did a transformation with the ligation product.

09-19-2008

Transformation
There were no colonies on the plates.

09-20-2008

Digestion of the PCR products and the transfectionvector
Now I used the restrictionenzymes XbaI and SpeI.

Gel purification and ligation
The digested PCR products and the vector.

09-21-2008

Transformation of the ligation
I used 10 µl of the ligation and used RV 308 cells
