  • General Planning
  • Discussion of RNAi
  • Construct and order primers for sense and antisense parts

Results/ Conclusions

Our goal is to work with Arabadopsis thaliana and strawberry DNA. We will extract gDNA and use PCR to obtain parts coding for allergens LTP, Bet, and Ger.

  • Extract gDNA of arabadopsis and strawberries

Results

We were able to extract two samples of Arabadopsis gDNA (100 microliters of 1.5ng / microliter). We were not able to extract gDNA from strawberries.

  • Grew up cultures of completed ihpRNA constructs (Bet, LTP, Ger) in pORE expression vector
  • amiRNA PCR
    • Will look at results of PCR tommorrow

Tasks

  • amiRNA PCR appears to have worked at every Tm we tried:

AmiRNA-try-3.jpgAmiRNA pcr 8.3.jpg


  • Digested V9/V10 to insert our constructs into
    • Realized that we hadn't gel purified our ihpRNA inserts
    • Gel purification of inserts (entire ihpRNA parts)

Gel 1

Ladder, 9, 11c1, 11c2, ladder, 25c1, 28c1, 28c2, 36c1, 36c2, ladder

Results

  • Successfully gel purified our inserts and digested backbones that we will ligate into

08-05-2010 [ top ]

  • Gel extracted V9/V10 backbone

V9v10.jpg

Lanes: Ladder, V9, Ladder, V10

Concentrations: V9 (9.4 ng/uL; V10 (16.4 ng/uL)

  • Ligated ihpRNA inserts into V9/V10 and transformed
    • For our ligations we only used ~ 2uL of backbone (around 18 and 32 ng of backbone)and used a 3x excess of insert
  • Verified that amiRNA stitching of Bet, LTP yielded the proper insert with a low level of background through PCR:

AmiRNA-insert-diagnostic.jpg

Lanes: 1-7: Bet, corresponding to 65.55 degrees C for stitching Tm (even spacing)

Lanes: 8-10: LTP, corresponding to 65.55 degrees C during stitching annealing, even spacing

  • Digested
    • Bet,LTP inserts with X+P; B21 with X+P+phosphatase
  • Ligated, Transformed
