Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A 630-bp DNA fragment covering the WT FLT3-691 site was amplified by PCR with primers P1 and P2 from a WT patient’s genomic DNA, then cloned into the pGem-T vector (Takara, China). After transformation into Escherichia coli DH5α, the T-vec-F691 plasmid was extracted by an AxyPrep Plasmid Miniprep Kit (Axygen, CA, United States). For constructing the FLT3-L691 plasmid, primers P3 and P4 carrying a T > G base mutation were used to amplify the T-vec-F691 plasmid circularly. Then the amplified product was self-ligated and cloned into the pGem-T vector to construct the T-vec-F691 plasmid. For identification of the specificity of crRNAs, 350-bp F691 and L691 DNA fragments were produced by PCR with primers P5 and P6 using T-vec-F691 and FLT3-L691 plasmids as templates. The quantification of the above plasmids and DNA fragments were conducted by a Nanodrop2000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, United States). The sequence information of PCR primers are listed in Supplementary Table S1.

Two pairs of universal primers (Table 2) were used to amplify the three PML-RARa transcripts and the ABL control gene from the positive samples. Amplified PCR products were then cloned into pGEM-T Easy vectors (Promega, Madison, USA). The plasmid DNA of selected clones was purified using AxyPrep Plasmid Miniprep Kit (AXYGEN, Union City, USA) and sequenced by Big Dye Terminator Cycle Sequencing Kit (Applied Biosystems, Carlsbad, USA) using ABI Prism 3130 sequence detection system to confirm the insert. The confirmed plasmids were measured by a NanoDrop spectrophotometer, and the molecular concentrations were calculated according to the molecular weights of the vector and the insert. Ten-fold series dilution of plasmid (106, 105, 104, 103, 102, and 10 copies in 2 μL) was used for the standard curves. PCR efficiencies were calculated from the slope of the curves produced from the diluted samples ( PCR efficiency=(101slope1)×100% ).

Plasmids in E. coli or R. eutropha were extracted using AxyPrep Plasmid Miniprep Kit (AXYGEN, China) according to the manuscript with some minor modifications. For R. eutropha, after extraction reagents were added to the collected sample from 1 mL LB medium and the mixture was centrifuged at 13,000×g for 20 min. While for E. coli, centrifugation was performed at 12,000×g for 10 min. To facilitate the following step of electroporation, the eluent solution of the kit was replaced by sterile deionized water for plasmid elution.

The conjugation experiment of biparental mating on the sterile nitrocellulose filter was performed using the multiple resistant P. aeruginosa as the donor cell and the rifampin-resistant Escherichia coli C600 (EC600) as the recipient (He et al., 2021 (link)). The transconjugants were selected on Mueller–Hinton agar plates containing 600 μg/ml rifampin and 32 μg/ml ceftazidime or 8 μg/ml meropenem. The target resistance gene in the transformant was verified by PCR with primers of the corresponding β-lactamase resistance genes (Table 1). The PCR product was sequenced and the sequence was compared with those in the public database by the BLASTN program (see footnote 15). The plasmid of the transformant was extracted with an AxyPrep Plasmid Miniprep Kit (Axygen Scientific, Union City, CA, United States), and the target resistance gene on the plasmid was also verified by PCR and PCR product sequencing as mentioned above.
