Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
S. pyogenes cells treated with Ct (23.4 µg/mL), Pt (23.4 µg/mL), and Ct + Pt (11.7 + 11.7) µg/mL, or untreated (control), were grown at 37 °C in BHI medium for 24 h. RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen, Toronto, ON, Canada) was used to process the cell for RNA isolation. The total RNA concentration was determined using a Nano-Quant Plate, TECAN (Infinite M200 PRO, TECAN, Atlanta, GA, USA). The integrity of the isolated RNA was confirmed by running agarose gel electrophoresis. This was followed by the removal of contaminating genomic DNA by the addition of DNase I (Bio-Rad) prior to cDNA synthesis. One microgram of total RNA was taken to synthesize cDNA using an i-Script g DNA clear cDNA Synthesis Kit (Bio-Rad, Mississauga, ON, Canada) as per the manufacturer instructions. The conditions included the following: a cycle of 5 min at 25 °C; 20 min at 46 °C; and 1 min at 95 °C. The freshly prepared cDNA was immediately used for quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) [54 (link)].

For mycobacterial RNA, Mtb H37Rv cultures grown under different conditions were harvested and resuspended in Trizol (Invitrogen, USA) and lysed using a bead beater for 15 cycles of 1 min pulse and 2 min pause. The lysate was centrifuged at high speed for 10 min at 4°C and processed for RNA isolation following the manufacturer’s protocol. Further, 10 µg of isolated RNA was treated with DNase I (NEB, England) to remove any genomic DNA contamination. 1ug of DNase I treated RNA was converted to cDNA by using the iScript cDNA synthesis kit (BIO-RAD, USA) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The diluted cDNA was used as the template for the qRT-PCR. The qRT-PCR was performed using the iTaq Universal SYBR green Supermix (BIO-RAD, USA) following the manufacturer’s protocol, in a 96-well plate (Applied Biosystems, USA) and analyzed using QuantStudio3 software.

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.
