The SST-REX method was performed as described3 (link)4 (link). Total RNA was purified from LNCaP-CR and LNCaP cells using Trizol (Invitrogen) and mRNA was isolated using Fast-Track 2.0 kits (Invitrogen). cDNA was synthesized using random hexamers with SuperScript Choice System (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions and inserted into BstXI sites of pMX-SST vector3 (link)4 (link) using BstXI adaptors (Invitrogen). The ligated vectors were electroporated into E. coli using an E-coli Pulser (Bio-Rad) at 1.8 kV. Then, the cDNA library was prepared by culturing the transfected E. coli. High-titer retroviruses from the above cDNA library were produced using the packaging cell line Plat-E (Cell Biolabs). Ba/F3 cells were infected with the retroviruses using Polybrene (Chemicon). Ba/F3 clones that grew in the absence of IL-3 were selected. Genomic DNA extracted from the IL-3-independent Ba/F3 clones was applied to PCR to recover the integrated cDNAs using the PCR primers, 5′-TAATACGACTCACTATAGGGCGCGCAGCTGTAAACGGTAG-3′ and 5′-ATTAACCCTCACTAAAGGGAGGGGGTGGACCATCCTCTA-3′. The PCR products were sequenced using BigDye Terminator v3.1 Cycle Sequencing kits with 5′-ATTAACCCTCACTAAAGGGAGGGGGTGGACCATCCTCTA-3′ as a primer.

Biotinylated cRNA was prepared according to the standard Affymetrix protocol using the Superscript Choice System (Invitrogen) and the RNA transcript labeling kit (ENZO, Farmingdale, NY) for cRNA preparation. Following fragmentation 10ug of cRNA was hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse 430 2.0 Gene Chip. Microarray analysis was performed using the Affymetrix GeneArray Scanner G2500A. The Affymetrix Expression Console Software Version 1.4.0 was used to create summarized expression values (CHP-files) from expression array feature intensities (CEL-files). Raw data were normalized with robust multichip analysis (RMA) with Affymetrix transcriptome analysis console (TAC) software. DNA microarray and sample annotation data were deposited in GEO under the accession number GSE65874.

5μg total RNA was used to synthesize first strand cDNA using oligonucleotide probes with 24 oligo-dT plus T7 promoter (Proligo LLC, St. Louis, MO), and the SuperScript Choice System (Invitrogen). cRNA probe was generated and biotinylated using the BioArray RNA High Yield Transcript Labeling kit (ENZO Life Sciences Inc). Fragmented cRNA (10μg) was hybridized to the GeneChip Human Exon 1.0 ST Array (Affymetrix, Inc, Santa Clara, CA) for 16h at 45°C, and incubated with streptavidin-phycoerythrin conjugate. Staining was amplified with biotinylated goat anti-streptavidin antibody, followed by staining with a streptavidin-phycoerythrin conjugate. Fluorescence was detected using the Affymetrix G3000 GeneArray Scanner and GeneChips were analyzed with the GeneChip Operating System 1.1.1 (GCOS) software from Affymetrix.

Total RNA was extracted from the B. arietans venom gland (1 g) using TRIZOL (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), and mRNA was isolated from total RNA by a Poly(A)Purist mRNA purification kit (Ambion, Austin, TX, USA). cDNA was synthesized by the SuperScript Choice system (Invitrogen) using an oligo-dT primer. This cDNA was used for bitiscetin-specific PCR experiments. In addition, the cDNA was also cloned into Lambda ZAP II vector (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA, USA) to create a library, and the amplified library was used to find the open reading frame ends. For all procedures we followed the instructions provided by the kit supplier.

RNA Isolation, cDNA Synthesis, and cRNA Labeling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We isolated total RNA using Trizol reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA)
and purified the RNeasy Total RNA Isolation Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany).
The SuperScript Choice system (Invitrogen) was used to synthesize
double-stranded cDNA. Phase Lock Gels-phenol and chloroform extractions
(Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany) were used to clean up the cDNA template. We
then generated biotin-labeled cRNA from this template using a BIOARRAY
HIGHYIELD RNA Transcript Labeling Kit (Enzo Life Sciences, Farmingdale, NY,
USA). In vitro transcription products were purified using
RNeasy spin columns (Qiagen) and were quantified by spectrophotometric
analysis. After the purification, the cRNA was fragmented using the standard
procedure by Affymetrix to obtain a distribution of RNA fragments sized from
approximately 35 to 200 bases. Fragmented RNA was checked with agarose gel
electrophoresis.

Expression cloning was performed as previously reported [13 (link)] with slight modifications. cDNA library was generated from MLL/AF9 leukemia cells using Superscript Choice System (Invitrogen) and BstXI adaptor (Invitrogen). cDNA fragments ranging from 1.0 to 5.0 kb were selected by Chroma spin column (Clontech, Mountain View, CA, USA) and electrophoresis on an agarose gel and subcloned into pMX retrovirus vector (a kind gift from Toshio Kitamura, Tokyo University, Tokyo, Japan). Retrovirus carrying cDNA library derived from MLL/AF9 leukemia cells was produced by transient transduction to Plat-E cells, and then infected to YB2/0 cells [13 (link)]. YB2/0 cells reacted with R54 or B2 mAbs were FACS-sorted and expanded. After third round of FACS-sorting, insert DNA was amplified from cDNA derived from the enriched cells, and sequenced.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The SuperScript Choice system (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) was used for transcription of total RNA into double-stranded cDNA. To assembly first-strand cDNA synthesis a T7-(dT24) oligonucleotide primer with a RNA polymerase promoter site was used. In vitro transcription followed after second-strand synthesis in the presence of biotin-11-cytidine triphosphate and biotin-16-uridine triphosphate (Enzo Diagnostics, New York, NY, USA). Next, biotin-labelled cRNA were fragmented (20 μg at 94°C for 35 minutes) and added to a hybridization solution to a final cRNA concentration (0.05 mg/mL). The solution was incubated for hybridization with an oligonucleotide array (AffymetrixGeneChip [Hu133A]), containing 22,283 probe sets for known genes or expressed sequence tags (ESTs). After staining with streptavidin-phycoerythrin a Gene Array scanner G2500A (Hewlett Packard, Palo Alto, CA, USA) was used for scanning of the hybridisation products according to the recommendations of the manufacturer.

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.
