Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The FOXP1 3’ UTR, a miR-9 full length binding site (23 nt) and a mutant miR-9 binding site with 4 mismatched nucleotides were cloned between Xho1 and Not1 restrictions sites of the psiCHECK™-2 reporter plasmid (Promega, Madison, WI). Between 5 × 104 and 1 × 105 cells were plated into 24 well plates. Cells were co-transfected with 100nm reporter plasmid and 100nM microRNA mimics (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) or 100nM miR-9 Locked Nucleic Acids (Exiqon Inc., Woburn, MA). Relative luciferase activity was determined 30hrs after transfection.

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.
