Positively charged nylon membrane

Manufactured by Roche
Sourced in Germany, United States, Switzerland, United Kingdom

The positively charged nylon membrane is a specialized laboratory equipment used in various biochemical and molecular biology applications. It is designed to facilitate the effective binding and immobilization of negatively charged biomolecules, such as nucleic acids and proteins, through electrostatic interactions. The membrane's positive charge enables efficient capture and retention of these target molecules, making it a valuable tool for techniques like blotting, hybridization, and antibody-based assays.

For northern blot analysis, total RNA was extracted from leaf tissues as described previously [37 (link)]. Total RNA (5 µg) was separated on 1% formaldehyde agarose gels, transferred to positively-charged nylon membranes (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany), and probed with digoxigenin-labeled specific RNA probes for the RNA1 and RNA2 3′-untranslated region of TRV (6548–6789 nt of RNA1 and 1860–2101 nt of RNA2), and for the 3′-end region of PVX (5875–6403 nt of PVX cDNA sequence in pgR107 vector). For tissue blot hybridization, fresh cross-sections of four non-inoculated leaf petioles or stems were squash blotted on positively-charged nylon membranes (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany), and blots were hybridized with the digoxigenin-labeled RNA probes mentioned above. The hybridization conditions used were those recommended by the manufacturer (DIG Application Manual for Filter Hybridization, Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany). Membranes were exposed to X-ray film (X-Omat AR, Kodak, Rochester, NY, USA) and developed following a conventional photographic process.

Genomic DNAs were digested with HaeIII (Fermentas), HpaII (Fermentas), MspI (Promega), PvuII (New England Biolabs) and TaqI (Roche). Restriction products were resolved by gel electrophoresis, transferred to positively charged nylon membranes (Roche), and hybridized overnight with the DIG-labelled SSUsat probe. To test homology in low, moderate and high stringency conditions, different experimental temperatures (60, 65 and 68 °C) were used. Signals were detected with alkaline phosphatase conjugated anti-digoxigenin antibodies (Roche) using CDP-Star (Roche) as substrate.
The proportions of the satellite present in the genomes of S. subtruncata, S. solida, M. stultorum and D. trunculus were estimated by dot blotting. Serial dilutions of genomic DNAs (10–250 ng) and cloned SSUsat (0.3–10 ng) were dot-blotted onto positively charged nylon membranes (Roche) and hybridized with SSUsat probes. Hybridisation signals were quantified using ImageJ (http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/).

Ten randomly selected subgingival plaque samples from VD patients with CP were assessed for the presences of red complex bacteria (RCB) using checkerboard DNA–DNA hybridization. NaOH (100 µl of 0.5 M) was added to 100 µl of subgingival plaque samples in TE buffer and vortexed. After boiling for 10 min, 800 µl of 5 M ammonium acetate was added to neutralize the samples. The DNA was then applied into the extended slots of a Minislot-30 apparatus (Immunetics, Cambridge, MA) with a positively charged nylon membrane (Boehringer Mannheim, Indianapolis, IN). The membrane had two lanes with DNA standards equivalent to 105–106 cells per target species tested. The membranes were hybridized with 20 digoxigenin labeled whole genome probes of species significant for the subgingival microbiota, including RCB (Table 2) (30 (link)). DNA from the type species was used as probes.

Five µg of RNA extracted from 8325-4 cultures after 60′ (late exponential) and 240′ minutes (early stationary) of growth post ajoene treatment (see previous description) was loaded onto a 1% agarose gel and separated in 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer as described previously56 (link).

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.
