Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Am methylated EGFP and Firefly luciferase mRNAs are purchased from Trilink (CleanCap EGFP mRNA (L-7601) and CleanCap
Fluc mRNA (L-7602)). m6Am methylated versions of these mRNAs are generated by in vitro methylation using full length human
recombinant PCIF1 protein. The methylation levels are verified with mass spectrometry.
Bicistronic Firefly-IRES-Renilla mRNA is in vitro transcribed from pFR_CrPV_xb, which was a gift from Phil Sharp
(RRID:Addgene_11509) (Petersen et al., 2006 ). The m7G-Am 5’ end is generated
co-transcriptionally using m7GpppAmG CleanCap Reagent AG (TriLink L-7113). For in vitro transcription, a PCR product amplified
from pFR_CrPV_xb is used. It contains Class II T7 promoter sequence that allows in vitro transcripts to start with adenosine.
The following primers are used for T7 template production. Class II T7 Fluc for CleanCap
TAATACGACTCACTATTAGGAACACCGAGCGACCCTGCAG T7 luc with polyA reverse TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTGTTAACTTGTTTATT The in vitro
transcription is carried out with purified PCR generated DNA template for 3 hours at 37°C. Am methylated bicistronic
construct is further in vitro methylated to m6Am using recombinant PCIF1. The RNA constructs are column purified using Zymo
RNA Clean & Concentrator-5 kit after each transcription and in vitro methylation step.

mRNA synthesis via in vitro transcription
was performed using linearized plasmid DNA with a High Scribe T7 Polymerase
HiScribe T7 High Yield RNA Synthesis Kit (New England Biolabs): 10
mM NTPs (final concentration), a 1× reaction buffer, 1 μg
of a DNA template, and 2 μL of HiScribe T7 polymerase in 20
μL of RNase-free water. eGFP mRNA was prepared using a DNA template
containing the open reading frame flanked by the 5′ and 3′
untranslated regions (UTR) and a poly-A tail. SARS CoV-2 spike protein
mRNA was prepared using a DNA template containing the open reading
frame flanked by the 5′ and 3′ UTR. Following IVT, template
DNA was removed by the addition of DNase I and RNA was purified using
silica columns as previously described.23 (link) RNA concentrations were determined using a NanoDrop 2000c spectrophotometer
(ThermoFisher Scientific) by absorbance at 260 nm normalized to a
1.0 cm (10.0 mm) path. Additional analysis of the RNA was subsequently
performed using ion pair reverse-phase chromatography to assess the
purity of the RNA. CleanCap Fluc mRNA and CleanCap Fluc mRNA (5-methoxyuridine)
were purchased from TriLink Biotechnologies.

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.
