A. baumannii ATCC17978 cells in the exponential phase of growth were treated for 30 min at 37°C with 64 μg/ml OA dissolved in ethanol. Microarray analysis was performed as previously described [30 (link)]. RNA was isolated using the RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen), and RNA concentrations were estimated by measuring absorbance at 260 nm. The cDNA probes for microarray analysis were prepared by reverse transcription of total RNA (50 μg). The cDNA probes were cleaned up using a Microcon YM-30 column (Millipore) and then coupled to Cy3 or Cy5 (GE Healthcare). The dried Cy3- or Cy5-labeled cDNA probes were then resuspended in 55μl of 2x HI-RPM hybridization buffer (Agilent) containing 30% formamide (v/v), 5× saline-sodium citrate, 0.1% SDS (w/v), and 0.1 mg/ml salmon sperm DNA. The Cy3- or Cy5-labeled cDNA probes were mixed together and hybridized onto a microarray chip (MYcroarray.com). The hybridization images on the slides were scanned using an Axon 4000B (Axon Instruments), and data quantification was performed using GenePix Pro 6.0 (Axon Instrument). Genes that were upregulated more than 1.5-fold in at least two replicates were selected. The microarray data were deposited in the National Center for Biotechnology Information GEO site (under accession number GSE 60239). Microarray data were confirmed by quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR).
Microcon ym 30 column
The Microcon YM-30 column is a centrifugal filter device used for the concentration and desalting of protein samples. The column has a molecular weight cutoff of 30 kDa, allowing the retention of proteins above this size while permitting the passage of smaller molecules and salts.

Tomato Microarray Hybridization Protocol
Preparation of the RNA and cDNA, and hybridization reactions were conducted according to
Rodriguez-Saona et al. (2010) (link)
. Total RNA was extracted with TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Enrichment and purification of messenger RNA (mRNA) was conducted with Dynabeads Oligo (dT) 25 (Dynal Biotech, Lake Success, NY). The mRNA was reverse transcribed and labeled with Cy3- and Cy5-deoxyuridine triphosphate (Amersham Biosciences, Piscataway, NJ). The cDNA was purified using a Microcon YM30 column (Millipore, Billerica, MA). Tomato microarrays (TOM1, The Boyce Thompson Institute at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY) were hybridized at 65°C for 8 h. All treatments were dye reversed with Cy3 and Cy5 for a total of six microarray chips using a loop design for four biological replications for each treatment. The complete meta-grid size was 13,440 spots per array. Scanning was conducted with the Packard BioScience Scan Array 3000 equipped with red and green lasers at 10 µm resolution. Spot intensity was quantified using Imagene 5.1 (BioDiscovery, Inc., Marina Del Rey, CA). Gene identifications are available from the Sol Genomics Network (

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.
