Padlock Probes (Started 8/13/2014)

Dye Labeling

Time for dye labeling of the padlock probes. I'm going to label the padlock probes with Alexa 488 and I'm going to make a Cot1-546 for controls.

Sample Matrix

Sample uL Sample ug Sample uL ULS 488 uL ULS 546
Cot1 2 2 0 5
PPRL 40 1.4 2 0
  1. Add 100 uL DMSO to vial containing ULS dye (stable for 6 months at 4C)
    1. For AlexaFluor 488 label using 5 uL DMSO (stable for 1 month at 4C)
    2. VORTEX THESE SOLUTIONS VIGOROUSLY BEFORE USE EVERY TIME!
  2. Resuspend DNA in 20 uL labeling buffer (Component C)
  3. Denature DNA at 95C for 5 minutes and snap cool on ice; centrifuge briefly
  4. Add appropriate volume of dye to sample (see table 2); if necessary add labeling buffer to bring volume to 25 uL
  5. Incubate at 80C for 15 minutes; stop the reaction by plunging the tube into an ice bath
  6. Purify using a column (Centri-Sep recommended)

Labeling Results

Sample ng/uL ssDNA pmol/uL dye pmol/uL DNA dye/probe bp:dye
PPRL-488 33.5 0.6 1.0 0.6 169
Cot1-546 22.9 0.8 0.5 1.7 87

The results for PPRL are not very good, but it'll have to do. I should probably add more sample during hybridization.
