Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
High-fidelity, first-round PCR reactions were performed using 1 µg of digested normal lung or lung tumor genomic DNA as template. Each 200 µl PCR reaction contained: 10 mM KCl, 10 mM (NH4)2SO4, 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.75), 2 mM MgSO4, 0.1% Triton X-100, 0.1 mg/ml bovine serum albumin, 0.2 mM dNTPs, 0.2 µM RD1 (5′-TTAAGCGTCGATGGAGGAGTT-3′), 0.2 µM RD2 (5′-GTCCTGCACCAGTAATATGC-3′) and four units of cloned PfuUltra Hotstart DNA Polymerase (Agilent Technologies, CA, USA). The first-round PCR included a 2 min denaturation at 94°C, followed by 35 cycles of 1 min at 94°C, 1 min at 56°C and 1 min at 72°C and a final 7 min extension at 72°C. The 384 bp KRAS PCR product (which included sequence 5′ of exon 1, exon 1 and part of intron 1) was isolated following preparative agarose gel electrophoresis using a Geneclean Spin Kit (MP Biomedicals, Solon, OH), eluted with TE buffer and frozen as multiple single-use aliquots. The concentration of each DNA sample was determined by repeated measurement using an Epoch Spectrophotometer (BioTek, Winooski, VT). Final concentrations were calculated from three determinations that varied by ≤10% from the group mean.

Evaluating NL4.3 Virus Replication

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To test the replication capacity of NL4.3 viruses expressing wild-type HIV-1JR-FL Env or the adapted virus Envs, we introduced mutations into the HIV-1NL4.3(JR-FL) proviral DNA and transfected them into target cells. Site-directed mutagenesis was performed using the QuikChange II XL Site-Directed Mutagenesis protocol (Agilent) and the PfuUltra Hotstart DNA Polymerase (Agilent). Approximately 4×104 Cf2Th-CD4/CCR5 or R5-Low cells preincubated with 50 or 100 ng/mL doxycycline were transfected with 100 μg proviral DNA and passaged for 3 weeks. Supernatants of each cell sample were collected regularly throughout the culture period and evaluated for RT activity.

Multilocus Sequence Typing of Cryptococcus neoformans

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DNA was isolated by standard methods from the C. neoformans strains indicated. PCR amplification of multilocus sequence typing (MLST) allelic regions for the highly conserved regions of six genes (CAP59, GDP1, LAC1, PLB1, SOD1, and URA5) was performed with PfuUltra HotStart DNA polymerase (Agilent Technologies) according to the C. neoformans MLST consortium (28 (link)). The primer sequences, consensus MLST loci, and lengths of the trimmed sequence files used were from the Pathogenic Fungi MLST Database (http://mlst.mycologylab.org/defaultinfo.aspx?Page=MLSTconsensustable). PCR products were run on a 2% agarose gel to confirm product size prior to DNA sequencing. Trimmed MLST sequences were concatenated, resulting in the inclusion of 3,271 to 3,463 characters for alignment and phylogenetic analysis with ClustalW (63 (link), 64 (link)). Distances included for the unrooted tree were calculated by using ClustalW phylogeny. Distance values show the number of substitutions as a proportion of the length of the alignment, excluding gaps.

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.
