Molecular Identification of Culex pipiens Complex

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Morphological identification showed that the Cx. pipiens complex was the most common of all Culex species in the study area. Further molecular identification was conducted using PCR amplification to differentiate two members of the Cx. pipiens complex (i.e. Cx. pipiens pipiens and Cx. quinquefasciatus). This PCR targets the acetyl-cholinesterase-2 locus (ace-2). The ace-2 locus was amplified using primers B126, ACEquin, and ACEpip as previously described by Smith & Fonseca [47 (link)].
DNA was extracted from 280 specimens, randomly selected from the morphologically identified Cx. pipiens complex. A total of 5 µl of extracted genomic DNA per sample was amplified in a 20 µl reaction mix containing 1× PCR buffer, 250 µM dNTP, 2 mM MgCl2, 0.4 µM of universal primer and ACEquin, 0.2 µM of ACEpip, and 1 unit of Taq DNA polymerase overlaid by a drop of mineral oil. After PCR amplification, 10 µl of the DNA fragments were separated by electrophoresis on a 2.5% agarose gel stained with 0.5 µg/ml ethidium bromide and compared against a 100-bp DNA marker included in the gel. Separated DNA fragments were photographed under ultraviolet light using Kodak Gel Logic 100 imaging system and scored as Cx. pipiens pipiens (610 bp) or Cx. quinquefasciatus (274 bp).

Polymer-Coated siRNA Nanoparticles for Delivery

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Polymer/siRNA nanoparticles were prepared by thoroughly mixing equal volume of solutions containing polymer and siRNA diluted in HBG buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4), followed by 20 min of incubation at room temperature for the nanoparticle to self-assemble. Further mixture of the resultant polymer/siRNA nanoparticles with the same volume of HSA solution and incubation for 20 min gave the HSA coated nanoparticles (polymer/siRNA/HSA). The ability of the polymers to condense siRNA was tested by agarose gel electrophoresis assay. Polymer/siRNA nanoparticles were prepared at different w/w ratios and loaded into the wells in 2% agarose gel containing 0.5 μg/mL ethidium bromide. The gel was run at 75 V in 0.5 × Tris/Borate/EDTA buffer for 30 min and imaged under UV with the KODAK Gel Logic 100 imaging system. HSA coated nanoparticles also underwent electrophoresis to make sure HSA coating would not result in the release of the siRNA. Hydrodynamic size and zeta-potential of the nanoparticles were measured by DLS using a ZEN3600 Zetasizer Nano-ZS (Malvern Instruments Ltd., MA).
