To generate the pDNA-encoding firefly luciferase gene (pVAX1-Luc), the Luc gene from the pcDNA3-Luc plasmid (Addgene, Watertown, MA, USA) was cloned into the pVAX1 plasmid vector (ThermoFisher, Ottawa, ON, Canada) using HindIII-HF and XbaI restriction enzymes (New England Biolabs, Whitby, ON, Canada). pVAX1-Luc was transformed into NEB® 10-beta Competent E. coli (High Efficiency) (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA, USA)according to the manufacturer’s protocol). Large-scale amplifications of pVAX1-Luc were generated using the EndoFree QIAGEN Plasmid Giga Kit (Montreal, QC, Canada) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Construction of NoMi Expression Plasmid
Each assembly reaction contained approximately 100 ng insert and 50 ng expression vector and was incubated at 50 °C for 30 min - 4 h following the manufacturer’s protocol. The plasmids were transformed into NEB® 10-beta Competent E. coli (High Efficiency) (New England Biolabs) and overnight grown at 37 °C on antibiotic containing agar plates [10 mL Bacto agar (Sigma) with LB medium in a 60 mm dish]. Single colonies were picked, grown in LB broth (Sigma) and extracted using a QIAprep Spin Miniprep Kit (Qiagen). To confirm correct insertion, a restriction digest was performed, and fragments electrophoresed in a 1.5% agarose gel and stained with GelRed (Biotium). Images were acquired under UV light using Azure Biosystems c300 Image. When correct profiles were detected, complete plasmid sequencing using Next-Generation sequencing technology (MGH CCIB DNA Core) was performed to validate plasmid integrity.

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.
