The copy number of the inserted BAC clone in the BAC-TG mice was determined by performing Southern blotting. Genomic DNA, which was prepared from the lung, was treated with EcoRV (New England Biolabs Japan, Tokyo, Japan). The DNA was electrophoresed on 0.7% agarose gels and transferred onto GeneScreen Plus Hybridization Transfer Membranes (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA), and then blotted and detected using DIG-labelled DNA probes synthesised by using a DIG PCR Synthesis Kit (Roche Diagnostics Japan, Tokyo, Japan) in accordance with the manufacturer’s protocol.

Northern blotting for small RNAs followed previously described probes and procedures (Okamura et al. 2007 (link)). To obtain single-nucleotide resolution of 55–80 nt pre-miRNAs, 8–15 mg of total RNA was loaded on 12% polyacrylamide–urea sequencing gels (40 cm long) as previously described (Bortolamiol-Becet et al. 2015 (link)). Briefly, gels were pre-run in 1× TBE for 30 min at 50 mA, and samples were run at 20 mA for 20 min, then at 50 mA for 5–6 h. We transferred them to GeneScreen Plus Hybridization Transfer Membranes (PerkinElmer) in 0.5× TBE for an hour at 300 mA on a semi-dry transfer system and then prehybridized and hybridized them using standard procedures (Okamura et al. 2007 (link)).

Viral Infection Assay and Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK-293 cells, MRC-5 cells, Vero cells or L2-5 cells were infected with viruses indicated in the figures at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 5. Total protein or RNAs were prepared at different time points post inoculation. Western blot was performed using the antibodies described above. For RT-PCR, total RNAs were extracted using All-Prep DNA/RNA kits (Qiagen). The primer sequences are listed in S3 Table. The RT-PCR bands shown in the figures that correspond to novel splice junctions were further confirmed by Topo cloning and sequencing. HEK-293 cells were transfected with plasmids indicated in Fig 6D using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen). Total protein or RNAs were prepared 24 hours post transfection. For Northern blots, total RNAs were prepared from HEK-293 cells or Vero cells infected with HSV-1 KOS strain or ICP27 mutants by TRIzol (Invitrogen). Approximately 30 μg of total RNAs were separated in a formaldehyde denaturing 1.2% agarose gel (Life Technologies). After transfer to GeneScreen Plus hybridization transfer membrane (Perkin-Elmer), the membrane was incubated in NorthernMax hybridization buffer (ThermoFisher Scientific) at 58°C overnight with an HSV-1 ICP34.5-specific probe labeled with [α-32P] dCTP using a random priming kit (Promega).

Telomere Length Analysis Using Bal31 Exonuclease

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The assay was performed with Bal31 exonuclease (Takara Bio, Shiga, Japan) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, 1 µg of total DNA was adjusted to 250 µl with the 1× Bal31 nuclease buffer provided by the manufacturer. Samples (62 µl) were removed at regular intervals depending on the strain. The reactions were terminated by adding EGTA (Sigma) to a final concentration of 10 mM. The samples were ethanol precipitated, and the DNA was digested with PstI (Invitrogen) and electrophoresed on 1% agarose gels. The samples were then transferred to nylon membranes (GeneScreen Plus, Hybridization Transfer Membrane, Perkin Elmer Inc., Alameda, CA, USA) and hybridized to (TTAGGG)n, UT4-a, both, or rRNA gene sequences as a probe.

Klf13 Binds to IL-4 Promoter

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A nonradioactive chemiluminescent EMSA kit (Active Motif, Carlsbad, CA) was used to examine whether mouse Klf13 binds to the putative binding site on the mouse IL-4 proximal promoter. The oligonucleotides used as probes in gel shift assays were end-labeled at their 5′ ends with biotin, and the sequences are as follows: RANTES: forward, 5′-GCTATTTTGGAAACT CCCCTT-3′; reverse, 5′-AAGGGGAGTTTCCAAAATAGC-3′; IL-4: forward, 5′-GACACCAGCACCCTCGGACAC-3′; reverse, 5′-GTGTCCGAGGGTGCTGGTGTC-3′. Competitor oligonucleotides were the same sense and antisense sequences as above without the 5′-biotin label. The 21-bp probe and competitor DNA consisted of cDNA fragments annealed by heating to 95°C and slowly cooled to room temperature. All EMSA experiments were performed on 5% polyacrylamide gels in 0.5× Tris-borate-EDTA buffer. Each EMSA reaction mixture contained 50 ng poly(deoxyinosinic-deoxycytidylic) acid, 1× LightShift EMSA Kit binding buffer, 20 fmol biotin-labeled DNA probe and 5 μg 293T cell nuclear extract overexpressing mouse Klf13, and 4 pmol nonbiotinylated competitor DNA. EMSA gels were electroblotted onto GeneScreen Plus Hybridization Transfer Membrane (PerkinElmer). Signal development followed the LightShift Chemiluminescence EMSA Kit protocol with HyBlot ES Autoradiography Film (Denville Scientific) for luminescence detection.

HepG2 cell nuclear extract with ectopically expressed 3xFLAG-PATZ1 was extracted using NucBuster Protein Extraction kit (Novagen) and quantified with Qubit 2.0 Fluorometer (Life Technologies). The oligonucleotides were minimized to be around 20 bp in length with several nucleotides flanking both sides of the motif sequence for PATZ1. A list of probes used in this assay can be found in Supplementary Table S3. Both biotinylated and non-biotinylated probes were annealed with reverse complementary nucleotide sequences by NEB2 buffer (NEB). A total of 6 μg nuclear extracts were incubated with 200 fmol of biotinylated double-stranded probes for 40 min on ice in 10 mM Tris–HCl, 80 mM KCl, 1 mM DTT, 1 μg of Poly (dA-dT), 7.5% glycerol, 0.063% NP-40 and 2 mM MgCl2. For competition assay, extra amounts of unlabeled probes were added to the binding reaction and further incubated at room temperature for 20 min. Samples were separated in Criterion 5% TBE Precast Gels (Bio-rad), and electro-transferred into a Genescreen plus hybridization transfer membrane (Perkin Elmer). DNA–protein complexes were cross-linked using UV-light and detected by LightShift Chemiluminescent EMSA Kit (Life Technologies).

Mitochondrial DNA Verification in Kudoa Infection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To verify that the obtained genome sequence was derived from the mitochondrial chromosome and not from the nuclear copies of mitochondrial DNA (in nuclear chromosomes) or from fish mitochondria, we performed Southern blotting. We performed pulsed field electrophoresis of K. septempunctata isolate 0904 total DNA and Kudoa-free Paralichthys olivaceus total DNA (control) on a 1% agarose gel in 0.5x TBE. Using CHEF-DR II system (Bio-Rad), the electrophoresis was performed under 6 V/cm, 120° angle in two blocks: the run time was 3 h with 0.1–1 sec switch time ramp, followed by 11 h with 1–2 sec switch time ramp. DNA was transferred from the gel to a GeneScreen Plus Hybridization Transfer Membrane (PerkinElmer) by the alkaline transfer method. DNA probes were labeled using Amersham Gene Images AlkPhos Direct Labelling and Detection System (GE Healthcare) and hybridized to the DNA on the membrane. The probes were PCR products amplifying the region at 10194–11194 bp (within cox1 gene) or the region at 17170–17760 bp (no gene) of K. septempunctata isolate 0904 genome.

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.
