Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DNA methylation was analyzed by bisulfite conversion (EpiTect Bisulfite Kit, Qiagen) of genomic DNA from differentiated myocytes. To perform the bisulfite analysis of the 4qA-L allele, previously published [21 (link)] PCR oligonucleotide primers (BSS4qALF for forward 5′-TTATTTATGAAGGGGTGGAGTTTGTT and BSS3626R for reverse 5′-AACAAAAATATACTTTTAACCRCCAAAAA) were utilized. All PCRs were performed using the hotstart Taq (JumpStart REDTaq from Sigma) at 95 °C for 5 min, 95 °C for 30 s, 55 °C for 30 s, 40 cycles at 72 °C for 1 min and 72 °C for 1 min. The amplified 354-bp PCR product was then gel purified and cloned into pGEM-T-Easy vector system II (Promega) and transformed into DH10B electrocompetent cells. The DH10B cells that carried the ligated vectors were selected by color change on agar plates containing the ampicillin/X-gal/IPTG. The white colonies represented the vectors with the PCR product, while the blue colonies represented empty vectors. The white colonies were picked and bulked in LB medium. The plasmids containing the target DNA were extracted by using the QIAprep Spin Miniprep Kit (Qiagen) and sequenced to reveal methylation distribution at a single molecule level.

Multiplex PCR for Listeria Identification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A multiplex PCR was developed with the aim to identify the six species of Listeria (L. monocytogenes, L. innocua, L. ivanovii, L. grayi, L. seeligeri and L. welshimeri) and Listeria spp., by using the PCR protocol described by Ryu et al. (2013 ) that has been partially modified in order to obtain the seven differentials bands for each Listeria species in a single reaction. Primers concentrations are reported in Table 1. All amplification reactions were performed in a final volume of 25 µL containing 5 µL of DNA, 5 µL of 10X PCR buffer (JumpStart REDTq DNA Polymerase, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), 4 mM of MgCl2, 0.1 mM each of dNTP, and 2 U of JumpStart RED Taq (Sigma-Aldrich). All amplification reactions were performed in a Gene-Amp 2700 Thermal Cycler (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) programmed as follows: denaturation at 94°C for 5 min, annealing at 58°C for 30 sec and elongation at 72°C for 30 sec, followed by a final extension period at 72°C for 5 min. The amplified fragments were separated by 3% agarose gel electrophoresis (Roche diagnostics, Milan, Italy) in 1X Tris-acetate EDTA (TAE; Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and stained with ethidium bromide (0.1 mg/mL) for 20 min. The gels were observed and the images acquired by the Gel-Doc UV trans-illuminator (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA).

C57BL6/J and MOLF/EiJ mice were from Jackson Laboratories (Bar Harbor, ME), STING-deficient mice - from Glen Barber (U. Miami). B6.MOLF-Tmem173molf (STINGMOLF/MOLF) congenic mice were established via genotyping of the backcross mice at Tmem173 locus. A panel of F2 intercross mice was generated by, first, producing F1 (C57BL6/J × MOLF) mice followed by brother-sister intercrossing. Mice were phenotyped at the age of 6-8 weeks. For phenotyping, peritoneal macrophages were plated at a density of 105 cells/well of the 96-well plate and transfected (Lipofectamine 2000) next day with c-di-AMP or c-di-GMP (2ug/mL) for 16 hrs. Genome wide genotyping of the F2 panel of mice was performed with 3 polymorphic microsatellite markers per chromosome using MIT primer sequences obtained from The Jackson Laboratory Mouse Genome Informatics Web site: http://www.informatics.jax.org/marker. PCR fragments were amplified using Jumpstart REDtaq (Sigma) and resolved on 3% gels. J/qtl v.1.3.x and R.2.0 software was used for linkage analysis. For generation of the B6.MOLF-Tmem173molf (STINGMOLF/MOLF) congenic mice, F1 (B6 × MOLF) hybrids were backcrossed for 9 generation to C57BL6/J. Phenotyping assays with congenic mice were done using 8-12 week-old females.

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.
