='''Testing of putative amplification from human cell lysate MDA on 02-24-09'''= ==Objective== *Using regular PCR (Taq enzyme 2X) to confirm four putative amplicons. ==Materials== *Enzyme - Taq 2X master mix (New England Biolabs) *Positive control template - 1/100 diluted Jurkat cell genomic DNA (NEB) -> 1 ng/uL *Human genome primers **1-1 (cho.1, 270 bp, Tm 52C) **2-1 (cho.2, 540 bp, Tm 52C) **3-1 (cho.3, 235 bp, Tm 52C) **4-1 (cho.4, 383 bp, Tm 52C) **18S-306 (cho. 21) - previously tested *Templates (1 uL): B2, B4, B5, C3, E3(p-Neg), Pos(1/100 gDNA), H2O ==Exp. Design== Templates (A->H) ------------------------------------------------------- B2 B4 B5 C4 p-Neg Pos H2O ------------------------------------------------------- Primer Strip1 P1 (1-1) stirp2 P2 (2-1) strip3 P3 (3-1) strip4 P4 (4-1) strip5 P5 (18S-306) ==Procedures== *Thaw the Taq2X enzyme and primers. *Set up 52C program. *Preppare 5 trips of 8-well PCR tubes and transfer the 1 uL template. *Master Mix - x 5 tubes: 1 rxn 8 rxn ---------------------- H2O 3.5 28.0 Primer 0.5 4.0 - primer is differnt in each one of five master mix Taq 2X 5.0 40.0 ---------------------- 9.0 72.0 (uL) 72/8=9 *Transfer 9 uL of master mix into each reaction *Perform PCR reaction **Strip 1-4 go to block A (program GENE52: Tm52, 30 cycles) **Strip 5 goes to block B (program GENE59: Tm59, 30 cycles) *Gel Electrophoresis **1.5% agarose: (1.5 g agarose +100 mL 0.5X TBE + 8 uL SYBR safe) **Run at 135 V for 30 min. ==Results== '''FIG. Gel electrophoresis picture ''' [[Image:ZhangLab_2 2009-02-26 09hr 46min copy.bmp|600px]] [[Image:low mass ladder.bmp|150px]] '''Left gel: test by primer 2-1 (540 bp); Right gel: test by primer 3-1 (235 bp)''' [[Image:ZhangLab_2 2009-02-26 12hr 04min.bmp|600px]] '''Left gel: test by primer 4-1 (383 bp); Right gel: test by primer 18S (306 bp)''' ==Discussion== *None of four putative polonies has contained the human genomic DNA *The n-Neg (Negitive control in MDA) has no band, which means the contamination is not human genome either. *The 10 uL reaction volume works fine for this applification (PCR testing) and is able to save more enzyme for multiple reaction. *The ladder is not shown well on 100, 200, 300 bp band even 6 uL of ladder was used. ==Suggestion== *For gel electrophoresis, running at 135V, 20 min is sufficient. *Need to repeat the MDA using different scale of dilution method and try to decrease the background in MDA reaction. *It is also possible the salts left in MDA reaction inhibited the following ragular PCR reaction (PCR products need to be purified before they can serves as new templates).
