Phenol chloroform isoamyl alcohol mixture

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

The Phenol-chloroform-isoamyl alcohol mixture is a laboratory reagent commonly used in the extraction and purification of nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, from biological samples. It is a biphasic solution that facilitates the separation of nucleic acids from proteins and other contaminants. The mixture consists of phenol, chloroform, and isoamyl alcohol in specific proportions.

Mice were weaned 20–25 days after birth. Ear and tail pieces were taken from adult mice and embryos for genotyping, respectively. DNA extraction was performed using phenol-chloroform-isoamyl alcohol mixture (Sigma) as per protocol. Screening was performed by PCR using the following primers: Rb flox primers: forward 5′ GGCGTGTGCCATCAATG 3′ and reverse 5′ AACTCAAGGGAGACCTG 3′, Cre primers: forward 5′ TGACCAGAGTCATCCTTAGCG 3′ and reverse 5′AATGCTTCTGTCCGTTTGCC3′. Rb heterozygous embryos (Bf-1 Cre+/−;Rb flox/+) showed a similar phenotype to wild-type embryos (Bf-1 Cre +/−;Rb+/+) embryos and thus used as controls compared with Rb mutant mice (Bf-1 Cre+/−;Rb flox/flox).

Pancreata from diabetic and non-diabetic mice (control) were used in protocols for isolating the mitochondria. Briefly, the pancreatic tissue was cut in pieces and added to 50 mL of medium (Hepes 10 mM, saccharose 250 mM e EGTA 1 mM) at pH 7.2 and homogenized for 15 s. Later, the pancreatic tissue was centrifuged at 600 g for 5 min, and the supernatant was collected and centrifuged at 2,000 g for 10 min. The pellet containing the isolated mitochondria was recovered. The mitochondria were sonicated at an amplitude of 100% (10 sonicagens of 30 s with 30 s intervals). Then, the suspension of lysed mitochondria was centrifuged at 12,000 g for 10 min at 4°C followed by centrifugation at 100,000 g at 4°C for 30 min. The supernatant from this centrifugation was used for DNA extraction with the phenol–chloroform–isoamyl alcohol mixture (Sigma-Aldrich). Finally, DNA quantitation was determined with a Nanodrop 2000 (Thermo Technologies).

Isolation of episomal DNA for the analysis of AAV transgene replication was performed as previously described.52 HEK293T cells were seeded in 10 cm dish and transfected with AAV packaging genes including ss-CAG-GFP. 48 h after triple transfection, cells were harvested and washed with DPBS. The cell pellet was incubated with 500 μL of Hirt lysis buffer for 10 min RT and followed by proteinase K digestion (50 μg/mL final concentration) for 1 h at 37°C. The reaction was stopped by adding 120 μL of 5 M NaCl, and tubes were kept at 4°C overnight to precipitate chromosomal DNA. Next day, samples were centrifuged for 1 h (17,000 g, 4°C), the supernatant was transferred to new tubes, and phenol/chloroform/isoamyl alcohol mixture (Sigma) was added. After centrifuging for 10 min, the upper layer was transferred, and sodium acetate was added. After overnight incubation at −20°C, the dried pellets were re-suspended with nuclease-free DW after washing with 70% ethanol. 1 μg of DNA was digested with DpnI (NEB) for 2 h at 37°C, followed by heat inactivation at 80°C for 20 min. qPCR was performed to measure the amount of replicated transgene using primers for ss-CAG-GFP.

9L cells were plated on 48-well plates (70–80% confluent) and transduced with RGD4C-AAVP carrying the Luc gene (RGD-Luc) or control non-targeted fd-Luc vectors in serum-free medium for 4 hours with or without 2 hours pretreatment with genistein (150 μΜ). On day 4 after transduction, cells were harvested and nuclei were extracted as previously reported [42 (link)]. Cells were washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS, Sigma), trypsinized and then pelleted by centrifugation at 1500 × g for 5 min. The pellet was washed with PBS and pelleted again by centrifugation at 1500 × g for 5 min. Subsequently, the pellet was resuspended in hypotonic buffer (20 mM Hepes-KOH, pH 8.0, 5 mM KCl, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 5 mM Sodiumbutyrate, 0.1 mM dithiothreitol [DTT]) and lysed by dounce homogenization. Nuclei were collected by centrifugation (10 min, 16,000 × g, 4°C) and resuspended in nuclear extraction buffer (15 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 1 mM EDTA, 0.4 M NaCl, 10% sucrose, 1 mM DTT). DNA was extracted using Phenol/Chloroform/Isoamyl alcohol mixture (Sigma) and precipitated by 100% ethanol (Sigma). The precipitates were washed with 80% ethanol and resuspended in 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.5.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
