Total RNA is prepared from cells or frozen tissues with RNA STAT-60 according to the manufacturer′s instructions. For a typical assay, 4µg of total RNA is treated with a 1:5 dilution of RNase-free DNase I in the presence of 4.2mM MgCl2 in a final volume of 20µl. This is performed in 0.2ml thin-walled PCR tubes in a standard thermocycler at 37°C, 30 min., 75°C, 10 min., and 4°C hold. The reverse-transcription mix consisting of 1X First Strand Buffer, 10mM DTT, 200U of SuperScript RTII reverse transcriptase, 2mM dNTPs and 0.08µg/µl random hexamers is then added directly to the tubes with the DNAse-treated RNA for a final volume of 100µl. The cDNA synthesis is carried-out in the thermocycler at 25°C for 10 min., 42°C for 50 min., 72°C for 10 min., and 4°C hold. Following the reverse-transcription, DEPC-treated H2O is added to the unknown samples to bring the volume to 200µl, and the cDNA concentration to 20ng/µl. (Note that samples used as cDNA standards are not diluted prior to making the 5-fold dilution series used in primer validation and standard curve assays.) This will result in enough template cDNA to test approximately 40 QPCR targets.
For multivariate analysis of samples measured with the EuroFlow SOP and antibody panels, the Infinicyt software was used. For this purpose, the merge and calculation functions were applied for multi-tube panels prior to the analysis, as described elsewhere.31 (link), 32 (link) Briefly, prior to multivariate analyses, the populations of interest were selected and stored each in a distinct data file. Data files corresponding to the same cell population from an individual sample but stained with a different antibody tube of a multi-tube panel were merged into a single data file containing all information measured for that specific cell population. In a second step, ‘missing' data in one tube about markers only stained in the other tubes were calculated using previously described algorithms and tools implemented in the Infinicyt software.32 (link) Consequently, the generated final data file contained data about each parameter measured in the multi-tube panel for each of the events composing the cell population in that data file (

Example 4
The ends of the double-stranded nucleic acid can be ligated together via a ligation reaction where the ligation sequence splints the ligation to generate a circularized double-stranded nucleic acid also shown in
The circularized double-stranded nucleic acid can be amplified to generate a linearized double-stranded nucleic acid product, where the orientation of the analyte is reversed such that the 5′ sequence (e.g., 5′ UTR) is brought in closer proximity to the barcode (e.g., a spatial barcode or a cell barcode) (
The resulting double-stranded member of the nucleic acid library including a reversed analyte sequence (e.g., the 5′ end of the analyte sequence is brought in closer proximity to the barcode) can undergo standard library preparation methods, such as library preparation methods used in single-cell or spatial analyses. For example, the double-stranded member of the nucleic acid library lacking all, or a portion of, the sequence encoding the constant region of the analyte can be fragmented, followed by end repair, A-tailing, adaptor ligation, and/or amplification (e.g., PCR) (
As a result of the methods described in this Example, sequences from the 5′ end of an analyte will be included in sequencing libraries (e.g., paired end sequencing libraries). Any type of analyte sequence in a nucleic acid library can be prepared by the methods described in this Example (e.g., reversed).
We performed a retrospective nested case-control study at Tallaght University Hospital, Dublin, Ireland over 1 year. Adult patients who had undergone either an inpatient CCE or PIC were identified from a capsule database. Controls and subjects who had undergone outpatient CCE and PIC procedures during the same period, were sequentially selected, i.e. the next outpatient procedures after the case, in a 1:2 ratio. All participants were ambulatory and able to swallow the capsule. All procedures were performed using PillCam®Colon 2 Capsules (Minneapolis, MN, USA) using a standard bowel preparation and booster regimen. For PIC, the SB sleep mode was manually deselected prior to capsule ingestion. Risk factors for delayed transit were identified at pre-assessment for all outpatients, and if present, patients had a gastric transit assessment at 30 minutes, as per ESGE Technical Review guidance [1 (link), 10 (link)]. Similarly, all inpatients underwent a gastric transit assessment as they are an identified at-risk group. If gastric transit was delayed and in the absence of contra-indications, patients received a prokinetic (metoclopramide 10 mg PO / IV).
Patients took 4 7.5 mg Senna tablets 2 days before the procedure. Then, the evening before the procedure, they ingested the first litre of a two-litre split-dose bowel preparation with Moviprep® (Norgine, Amsterdam, Nederland) a PEG-based solution. The second litre was taken on the morning of the procedure and all procedures were performed before 12:00. The first booster, Moviprep® with 750 ml of water and 15 ml of castor oil, was given when the capsule reached the small bowel. Then, 3 hours later a second booster of Moviprep® with 250 ml of water was given [11 (link)].
All studies were analysed by trained capsule endoscopists using Rapid Reader software version 9.0, and the findings were approved by our institution’s capsule review board. Basic demographics and key outcome measures were identified from the procedure reports and hospital patient records as required. Findings were compared between groups using X [2 (link)] or student t-tests as appropriate, and relevant odds ratio (OR) calculations were performed as indicated. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered significant.
