A conventional PCR was performed to determine the presence of PERV-C. PERV-C was detected using a set of primers with an amplicon length of 288 bp (described as PCR4 in [25 (link)]). It was carried out with AmpliTaq DNA Polymerase (Applied Biosystems, Waltham, MA, USA) and was set up with a Biometra TRIO cycler (Analytik Jena, Jena, Germany). The following temperature-time profile was used: 95 °C for 10 min (activation step), followed by 45 cycles at 95 °C for 15 s (denaturation), 55 °C for 30 s (annealing) and 72 °C for 30 s (extension) and a final extension at 72 °C for 5 min.
A conventional PCR to determine the presence of human-tropic PERV-A/C was set up using specific primer pairs (Table 1) [26 (link)]. The PERV-A/C long primer mix detects an amplicon of 1266 bp length. It was carried out with AmpliTaq DNA Polymerase (Applied Biosystems, Waltham, MA, USA) and was set up with a Biometra TRIO cycler (Analytik Jena, Jena, Germany). The following temperature-time profile was used: 95 °C for 10 min (activation step), followed by 45 cycles at 95 °C for 15 s (denaturation), 55 °C for 30 s (annealing), 72 °C for 90 s (extension) and a final single cycle at 72 °C for 5 min.

Nested PCR was carried out to analyze the overall methylation status of the LCR and methylation variation after demethylation treatment. The primers used for nested PCR are shown in S1 Table, and their products cover 7 methylated/unmethylated (M/U) CpG sites in the 5′-LCR and enhancer region. Bisulfite-modified DNA was first amplified by PCR with the BSP-6 primer set. The BSP was carried out in a 25 μl volume containing 0.2 mM of each of the 4 dNTPs, 2 mM MgCl2, 10 pmol of each primer, 1.25 units AmpliTaq DNA Polymerase (Applied Biosystems), and 100 ng bisulfite-modified DNA. The BSP conditions were 95°C for 5 min, followed by 25 cycles at 95°C for 60 s, 54°C for 60 s, and 72°C for 2 min, with a final extension at 72°C for 7 min. Then the product from the first round of PCR was subjected to a second round of amplification using methylation-specific PCR primer sets (S1 Table), so methylated and unmethylated sequences could be amplified separately. The PCR was carried out in a 20 μl volume containing 0.2 mM of each of the 4 dNTPs, 2 mM MgCl2, 10 pmol of each primer, 1.0 unit AmpliTaq DNA Polymerase (Applied Biosystems), and 3 μl product of the first round of BSP. The PCR conditions were 95°C for 5 min, followed by 25 cycles of 95°C for 40 s, 58°C for 40 s, and 72°C for 1 min, with a final extension at 72°C for 7 min.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Female FVB/N mice were purchased from the National Cancer Institute and used when 7-9 weeks of age. All mice were group-housed and all experiments were conducted in accordance with NIH and institutional guidelines. Stat1-/- mice were a generous gift from Dr. David Levy from the Kaplan Cancer Center, New York School of Medicine. Stat1-/- mice were originally generated on a mixed C57Bl/6 genetic background [35 (link)] and were backcrossed for at least five generations onto the FVB/N background before use. Heterozygous knockout (KO) mice were then mated to generate Stat1-/- and Stat1+/+ littermate control mice. Genotypes were determined by PCR analysis of DNA isolated from tail snips using the following primers: (ST11) 5′-GATATAATTCACAAAATCAGAGAG-3′, (ST12) 5′- CTGATCCAGGCAGGCGTTG-3′, (ST13) 5′- TAATGTTTCATAGTTGGATATCAT-3′ in a multiplex reaction utilizing 0.2 mM dNTPs and AmpliTaq DNA polymerase with Buffer I (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY, USA) with an annealing temperature of 55°C and 33 amplification cycles to detect both wild-type and mutant products (450 and 150 bp, respectively). IFNγR1 KO mice and C57BL/6 wild-type control mice were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME, USA).
