Example 2

Virtual TCR β chain spectratyping was performed as follows. Complementary DNA was synthesized from RNA extracted from sorted T cell populations and used as template for multiplex PCR amplification of the rearranged TCR β chain CDR3 region. Each multiplex reaction contained a 6-FAM-labeled antisense primer specific for the TCR β chain constant region, and two to five TCR β chain variable (TRBV) gene-specific sense primers. All 23 functional Vβ families were studied. PCR reactions were carried out on a Hybaid PCR Express thermal cycler (Hybaid, Ashford, UK) under the following cycling conditions: 1 cycle at 95° C. for 6 minutes, 40 cycles at 94° C. for 30 seconds, 58° C. for 30 seconds, and 72° C. for 40 seconds, followed by 1 cycle at 72° C. for 10 minutes. Each reaction contained cDNA template, 500 μM dNTPs, 2 mM MgCl2 and 1 unit of AmpliTaq Gold DNA polymerase (Perkin Elmer) in AmpliTaq Gold buffer, in a final volume of 20 μl. After completion, an aliquot of the PCR product was diluted 1:50 and analyzed using a DNA analyzer. The output of the DNA analyzer was converted to a distribution of fluorescence intensity vs. length by comparison with the fluorescence intensity trace of a reference sample containing known size standards.

DNA samples obtained from the cell biomass of isolates cultivated in 1/10 PYG at 10°C were used as templates for PCR amplification. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of the isolates were PCR-amplified using the 27f/1492r primer pair using AmpliTaq Gold DNA polymerase (Perkin-Elmer) and sequences were elucidated as previously described (Satoh et al., 2002 ). The sequences of the nearly complete 16S rRNA genes of the isolates were submitted to the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank database to search for similar sequences using the BLAST program (Altschul et al., 1997 (link)). The sequences of 16S rRNA genes from closely related species were edited using SeaView software (Gouy et al., 2010 (link)) and multiple alignments were performed with the CLUSTAL W program (Larkin et al., 2007 (link)). A phylogenetic tree was constructed from the evolutionary distance matrix by the neighbor-joining method with MEGA11 software (https://megasoftware.net/) (Saitou and Nei, 1987 (link); Tamura et al., 2021 (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.
