Functional Expression of Human nAChR α7

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Functional expression of insect only nAChRs in heterologous systems has proven technically difficult. In contrast, the vertebrate nAChR α7 readily expresses as a functional receptor in vitro and so human nAChR α7 in pSP64GL (Broadbent et al. 2011) was used to study the effect of exon 3 skipping on receptor functionality. Two BglII sites were introduced into hα7 flanking exon 3 using the QuikChange II XL site‐directed mutagenesis kit (Agilent Technologies). Exon 3 was excised and plasmid DNA treated with Mung bean nuclease (New England Biolabs) to remove the 5′ and 3′ overhangs prior to religation using T4 ligase. The absence of exon 3 and the preservation of the reading frame were verified by nucleotide sequencing (Eurofins Genomics).

HBV core DNA was extracted as previously described, with minor modifications [20 (link)]. Briefly, cells were lysed in 200 µL lysis buffer containing 0.5% NP-40, then incubated with Mung Bean Nuclease (M0250S, New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA, USA) and DNase I (EN0521, Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China) to remove the input plasmid DNA. Viral DNA was ethanol precipitated after protease K (Calbiochem, San Diego, CA, USA) digestion in the presence of 0.5% SDS at 55 °C overnight. Purified DNA was dissolved in 16 µL double-distilled water and separated by 1% agarose gel. Following overnight transfer to nylon membrane, the blot was hybridized with a Digoxigenin-labeled HBV-specific probe.

Microsatellite DNA was isolated as described previously [21 (link)]. The extracted gDNA (1 μg) was digested with RsaI (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA, USA) for 10 s according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The resulting DNA fragments were treated with mung bean nuclease (New England Biolabs) for 30 min to obtain blunt ends and dephosphorylated using calf intestinal phosphatase (New England Biolabs). DNA fragments of 200–800 bp were separated using electrophoresis on 1.5% agarose gels and recovered using a QIAquick gel extraction kit (Qiagen, Germantown, MD, USA). The recovered DNA fragments were ligated to adapters (SNX/SNX reverse linker) by combining with 60 μM SNX adapter, 5 μL of NEB #2 buffer, 0.5 μL of 100× BSA, 1 μL each of NheI (New England Biolabs) and XmnI (New England Biolabs), 50 mM rATP (Promega, Madison, WI, USA), and 2000 units of ligase (New England Biolabs) in a total volume of 50 μL.

Titers of serum anti-nucleosome antibodies were determined by ELISA as described previously [16 (link), 17 (link)]. In brief, met-BSA-precoated Immunolon plated were coated overnight with dsDAN and then with total histone solution. Samples were incubated on plates in various dilutions between 1:600 and 1:1,200, and then plates were washed, and autoantibodies were detected with anti-mouse IgG-HRPO (GE Healthcare).
Autoantibody titer was expressed as ELISA unit, comparing OD values of samples with a standard curve prepared with serial dilutions of ANA-positive NZM2410 serum pool. Antichromatin and anti-dsDNA titers were determined as for the antinucleosome levels. UV-irradiated Immunolon plates were incubated overnight with 3μg/ml chicken chromatin [24 ] or mung bean nuclease (New England Biolabs, Ins.)-treated dsDNA (Sigma-Aldrich. Anti-single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) was determined as describe previously [25 (link)]

Genome-length Jad cDNA Transcription and Transfection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genome-length Jad and intergenotypic Jad/C recombinant cDNAs were linearized with XbaI and treated with mung bean nuclease (New England BioLabs, Evry, France) prior to in vitro transcription using T7 RiboMAX Express Large Scale RNA production system (Promega) and purification of resulting synthetic RNAs, as described previously49 (link). Huh-7.5 cells (2 × 106 cells) were transfected by electroporation with 5 µg of synthetic, genome-length RNAs, in 4-mm-gap-width cuvettes by applying one pulse at 240 V at 900 F using EasyjecT Plus instrument (Equibio, Lancashire, United Kingdom). Electroporated cells were then immediately resuspended in complete medium and seeded at 1.6 × 106 cells per 75 cm2 flask.

Exonuclease and Mung Bean Nuclease Treatment of DNA Bands

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
S1 nuclease-untreated DNA bands excised from PFGE gels was used for exonuclease treatment. After washing the excised plugs with TE buffer, exonuclease treatment was performed using a modified procedure described previously (Kinashi and Shimaji-Murayama, 1991 (link); Kalkus et al., 1993 (link); Overhage et al., 2005 (link); Rose and Fetzner, 2006 (link); Dib et al., 2010 (link)). The DNA bands were digested with 100 U of exonuclease III (New England BioLabs) at 37°C for 1, 2, or 3 h. In addition, the DNA bands were digested with 10 U of lambda exonuclease (New England BioLabs) at 37°C for 15 h.
To remove the single-stranded DNA, 1 U mung bean nuclease (New England BioLabs) was used at 30°C for 0.5 or 1 h. S1 nuclease-treated pMG2200 was used as a control for linearized circular plasmid (Zheng et al., 2009 (link)).

Selective Degradation of Viral DNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Viral DNA was extracted from a stock of PCV2 strain 1121, using QIAamp Cador Pathogen mini kit (Qiagen). Then, 1 µg of virus DNA was incubated with 100 units of the lysosomal DNase II (Sigma-Aldrich), in the presence of 50 mM sodium-acetate (pH 5.0) at 37 °C for 18 h to allow a complete reaction [24 (link)]. In addition, the Mung Bean Nuclease (New England BioLabs, Ipswich, MA, USA) which targets single-stranded DNA, and the Benzonase endonuclease (Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA) which degrades all forms of DNA and RNA, were used to control the degradation of PCV2 genome. Due to the small amount of DNA, instead of a direct visualization by agarose gel electrophoresis, the digested products were purified and evaluated by PCR with three sets of primers (Table 1). These primers amplified different regions of the PCV2 genome, as shown in Figure 3 [23 (link),25 (link)]. The PCR was performed with Herculase II fusion DNA polymerase as described in Section 2.6. The amplification products were examined by agarose gel electrophoresis.

Generation of Csf1r-mApple Transgenic Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The 7.2 kb Csf1r reporter construct previously used to generate the Csf1r-EGFP mice (Sasmono 2003) was digested with ApaI and SalI (NEB) to remove EGFP before gel purification using the QIAquick gel extraction kit (Qiagen). Overhangs were removed with Mungbean nuclease (NEB), DNA purified using QIAGEN MinElute columns (Qiagen) and DNA then dephosphorylated using TSAP (Promega). A construct encoding the fluorescent protein Csf1r-mApple (34 (link)) was digested with SmaI and AflII and similarly purified and overhangs removed before both constructs were precipitated with EtOH/NaOAc and then ligated with T4 ligase (NEB) at 16°C overnight. The resulting Csf1r-mApple construct was transformed into DH5α competent cells. The Csf1r-rtTA-M2 construct utilizing the same 7.2 kb mouse Csf1r promoter region was used previously to generate Csf1r-rtTA transgenic mice (35 ) For generation of transgenic mice, plasmid backbones were removed by digestion with DrdI/PvuI (Csf1r-mApple, NEB) and SalI/MluI (Csf1r-rtTA, Promega/NEB) and then gel-purified using a QIAquick gel extraction kit. DNA was then further purified using AMPure XP beads (Agencourt) according to instructions.

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.
