Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To attain a relative quantity of viral RNA, TaqMan fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR (RT-qPCR) was performed on all serum samples as described previously40 (link). The PCR products of conserved regions within ORF7 for type 2 PRRSV strains (180 base pair) was cloned with the PMD-19T (Takara, Korea) and transformed into DH5a competent cells (TIANGEN, China). Plasmid DNA was extracted by using a plasmid purification kit (TIANGEN, China) and quantified by the Thermo Scientific Varioskan Flash multimode reader. Real-time RT-PCR using Taqman probes was performed to generate a standard curve by known amounts of the serially diluted ORF7-based plasmid standards (101–108 copies/μL). Specific primers for qPCR in this study was performed as described40 (link), PRRSV F: 5′-ACAACGGCAAGCAGCAGAA-3′ and PRRSV R: 5′-GAGCGATGATCTTACCCAGCAT-3′ and the PRRSV probe: 5′-FAM-CTGGGYARGATYATCGCCCAGCA-BHQ1-3′. The concentrations in the tested samples were obtained by the Ct values plotted against the known concentration of the ORF7-based plasmid standards.

Cloning and Expression of T. gondii SAG4

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The entire coding sequences of the T. gondii SAG4 gene were amplified by PCR from genomic DNA of T. gondii strain RH with synthetic primers. Trans TagTM High FidelityDNA Polymerase (TransGen, Beijing, China) was used in PCR amplification.
SAG4: Forward primer: 5′-GGGGTACCATGACGAAAAATAAAATT-3′ Reverse primer: 5′-CGGGATCCTTACATTGATATCAACA-3′ (introduced KpnI and BamH I recognition sites, respectively, are underlined).
The PCR production of SAG4 gene was cloned into the pEASY-T1 Vector (TransGen, Beijing, China), digested with the appropriate restriction enzyme (KpnI and BamH I), and purified from agarose gels. SAG4 gene fragment was inserted into the eukaryocyte vector pEGFP-C1, generating pSAG4. The recombinant plasmids were then propagated in Escherichia coli DH5α and confirmed by restriction analysis and sequencing. Endotoxin-free plasmid DNA was isolated using a Plasmid Purification Kit (TianGen, Beijing, China). The concentrations of the purified plasmids were detected by spectrophotometer at 260 and 280 nm, and the 260:280 ultraviolet absorption ratio was between 1.8 and 2.0. All the plasmids were diluted into 1 mg/ml by sterile endotoxin-free PBS and stored at -20°C before use.

Codon-Optimized Ex160-cDNA Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Ex160-cDNA was synthesized with codon optimisation (S1 Data) for procaryotic expression (GenScript Biotech Co., Ltd., Nanjing, China) and cloned into BamHI/HindIII restriction sites in the same reading frame with the His tag in the pQE-30 vector. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into E. Coli DH5α. The plasmid was extracted from the bacteria using a plasmid purification kit (Tiangen Biotech Co., Ltd., Beijing, China), and digested by BamHI/HindIII enzymes (NEB, Beverly, MA, USA) to confirm ligation of this gene into the pQE-30 plasmid. Agarose gel electrophoresis was performed to confirm the correct insertion of the target gene.

RT-LAMP Assay for SARS-CoV-2 Delta Variant

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We tracked the SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences from the GISAID database and analyzed real-time mutation situation reports from the standardized, open-source database of COVID-19 (https://outbreak.info/). Target mutation sites were selected from typical mutations in the Delta variant, and the sequence region containing the mutation was analyzed by BLASTN to ensure that the region used for designing the RT-LAMP primers was specific to Delta. In addition, the conservative fragments that did not contain any mutations in the N gene were selected as the “internal reference” template.
The wild-type SARS-CoV-2 N gene plasmid (GenBank MN908947.3, 28274∼29533nt) was synthesized by Tsingke Biotechnology. The synthetic wild-type N gene plasmid was used as a wild-type positive control in the RT-LAMP reaction. Site-directed mutagenesis was performed on the 608th nucleotide of the wild-type N gene plasmid, which is the R203M mutation (G→T). Similarly, R203K/G204R (GGG→AAC) and T205I (C→T) mutations were also prepared. Then, the mutant plasmid was purified with a plasmid purification kit (TIANGEN BIOTECH), and sequenced by Tsingke Biotechnology. The quality and concentration of DNA were determined with a Nanodrop UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and the nucleotide copy number was calculated accordingly.

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.
