Primer design was aided by Clone Manager 9 (Professional Edition (c) 1994-2010, Scientific and Educational Software, Cary, NC, USA). cDNA was generated from total RNA using Invitrogen’s SuperScript IITM reverse transcriptase and the appropriate oligonucleotide primers (denaturation phase 5 min at 94 °C; synthesis phase 1 h at 42 °C). This was followed by PCR performed on the cDNA template using Invitrogen Platinum®Taq DNA Polymerase High Fidelity. Amplified cDNA fragments were gel purified and extracted using a MinElute Gel Extraction Kit (QIAGEN), ligated into the pCR 2.1 TOPO vector, and cloned using the TOPO TA Cloning Kit as described by the supplier (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Plasmids with virus-derived cDNA inserts were sequenced by Sanger sequencing at the Nucleic Acid Protein Service Unit, UBC, (Vancouver, BC, Canada), on an Applied Biosystems 3730 DNA Analyzer (Thermo-Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA).

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.
