Total RNA was extracted from mammary gland tissue and cDNA was generated using M-MLV reverse transcriptase (TaKaRa). Pten-specific primer sequences (sense 5′-GGA ATT CCC GTT CCG AGG ATT ATT C-3′; antisense 5′-GGG GTA CCG TAA AAC AAG ATT GGT CAG G-3′) were used to amplify the desired sequence. After digestion of the PCR products with EcoRI and KpnI, the Pten gene segment was cloned into pMD18-T (Ambion) to generate pMD18-T-Pten. All clones were verified by DNA sequencing. Cloning of the Pten gene segment into pGCMV-IRES-EGFP (Ambion) was conducted using a similar method to that for pMD18-T-Pten.
DCMECs were transfected with the pGCMV-Pten-IRES-EGFP (recombinant plasmid) or pGCMV-IRES-EGFP (empty vector) using Lipofectamine 2000 (LF2000) according to the manufacturer’s recommendations (Invitrogen). Briefly, DCMECs (1×106 cells per well) were plated in 6-well culture plates. For each well, 1 µg of the appropriate plasmid DNA and 2.5 µL of LF2000 was diluted in 200 µL of OPTI-MEMI medium and incubated at room temperature for 20 min to allow for the formation of lipocomplexes; complexes were then added to wells. Cells were incubated with serum- and antibiotic-free medium at 37°C for 36 h. Optimal transfection conditions were screened in advance (Figure S3).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The miRNA expression vector pSuper was obtained from OligoEngine (Seattle, WA, USA). Subcloning of hsa–pre-miR-1 fragment into pSuper to form the expression vector pSuper–miR-1 has been described in previous studies17,18 (link). For PD-L1 overexpression in miR-1-expressing sorafenib-resistant hepatoma cells, the recombinant adenovirus vector encoding PD-L1 was constructed using the Adeno-XTM Expression System (Clontech, Mountain View, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, the PD-L1 cDNA was cloned into the shuttle vector pMD-18T (Takara, Dalian, Liaoning, China) and sequenced. Sequences of primers for full-length human PD-L1 cDNA amplification are shown as follows: 5′-TACTGCAGAAGATGAGGATATTTG CTGTC-3′(forward) and 5′-ATTGAATTCTTACGTCTCCTCCAAATGTG-3′ (reverse). The desired replication-deficient adenovirus containing the full-length cDNA of PD-L1 was generated by homologous recombination through cotransfection of plasmids pMD-18T-PD-L1 and pBHG1oXE1, 3Cre in HEK 293 cells using the Lipofectamine liposome reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). After several rounds of plaque purification, the adenovirus containing the PD-L1 gene was amplified and purified from cell lysates. The infectious titer was determined by a standard plaque assay.

Fifteen overlapping fragments of the complete genome of HPyV6 strain BJ376 were PCR amplified (Table 2) with the Takara Ex Taq kit. The 15 overlapping fragments were then cloned into pMD18-T and sequenced (Invitrogen). The nucleotide sequence of the full-length HPyV6 genome was then compiled using BioEdit 9.0 software. The full-length HPyV6 sequence was aligned with the sequences of other HPyVs and other HPyV6 strains available in GenBank with DNAStar software. A neighbor-joining tree was constructed with MEGA 6.0.

RNA samples were isolated from the leaves of 5-day-old seedlings using plant Trizol reagent (Vigorous Biotechnology, China). 2 µg aliquot of total RNA was used for cDNA synthesis by M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase (TAKARA, Japan). The ORF primers of GmACSL2 are: GmACSL2-1F: 5′-ATGGCGACAATTCCTATCACCTAC-3′ and GmACSL2-1R: 5′ -TTACATGTATAGATTGTCTATTTGCTCCC-3′. The primers were designed by Primer Premier 5.0 [29] . The PCR conditions were as follows: 95°C for 5 min; 35 cycles of 95°C for 40 s, 58°C for 40 s, and 72°C for 2 min; and an additional step of 72°C for 10 min. The amplified products were cloned into pMD18-T vector (TAKARA, Japan) and then sequenced.
The PCR product of GmACSL2 from pMD18-T vector was digested with BamHI/Xbal, and then subcloned into vector pYES2 (Invitrogen, America) to generate the pYES2-GmACSL2 plasmid for yeast vector construction. GmACSL2 was first subcloned into the pENTR vector for subcellular localization, and then LR recombined with pK7FWG2.0 to obtain pK7FWG-GmACSL2-eGFP through gateway system according to the protocol of Invitrogen [30] (link). The Plasmids of pCXDR-SSE1-dsRed were constructed following the method described by Chen et al [31] (link). GmACSL2 was subcloned into the vector pGFPGUSPlus (pCAMBIAl305.1113) for soybean hairy root induction, with the HPTII gene as the selective marker and GUS/GFP as the reporter gene [32] (link).

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.
