JAK3 and IL2Rγ Expression Analysis in CMK Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CMK cells were transfected with the indicated siRNA. Total RNA was extracted using an RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Valencia, CA). cDNA was synthesized using Oligo(dT)-primers with SuperScript-First-Strand Synthesis kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). cDNA was amplified with Opticon-3 thermal cycler (MJ Research, Waltham, MA) using 2xSYBR Green (Invitrogen). Primers used were as follows: JAK3 Forward: 5′-GGCCCCATCACTCTGGACT-3′, JAK3 Reverse: 5′-GCCCTTATAATCAGGACCAAGG-3′, IL2Rγ Forward: 5′-CCACAGCTGATTTCTTCCTGA-3′; IL2Rγ Reverse: 5′-GCAGAGTGAGGTTGGTAGGC-3′, GAPDH Forward: 5′-TCCTGCACCACCAACTGCTTAG-3′, and GAPDH Reverse: 5′-GGCATGGACTGTGGTCATGAG-3′.

Quantifying Target Gene in gDNA using qPCR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The quantity of the target gene in the gDNA was estimated using the qPCR method. The amplification reactions contained 0.5 μM nested primer pairs (Table 1), the DyNAmo HS SYBR Green master mix (Finnzyme, Espoo, Finland), and 15–25 ng gDNA or 5 μl of the serially diluted standard DNA. The qPCR assays were performed using an Opticon 3 thermal cycler (MJ Research, Waltham, MA, USA) with the following program: 95°C for 15 min, 40 cycles of 95°C for 10 s, 58°C for 20 s, and 72°C for 30 s. The melting curve analysis was conducted by serially increasing the temperature at a rate of 0.2°C per 1 s from 45°C to 95°C. The copy number of each standard DNA sample was calculated from the amount and molecular mass of the linearized plasmid using a DNA molecular weight calculator (http://www.currentprotocols.com/WileyCDA/CurPro3Tool/toolId-8.html). The Ct values were determined using the Opticon Monitor Software (MJ Research). The standard curve of the Ct value vs. the copy number was generated and used to calculate the total number of genome in the target gDNA template. The experiments were repeated six times, and each repetition included two technical replicates.

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.
