Testing human 18S using regular PCR
Objective
- Check if the 18S primers are specific by agarose gel.
- Using different conc. of human gDNA to optimize the condition.
- Using Taq 2X master mix (New England Biolabs) enzyme which is newly opened.
Reagents
- H2O - (Ambion)
- Enzyme - Taq 2X master mix (New England Biolabs)
- Template - diluted human genome DNA (Jurkat cell, New England Biolabs
- 18S primer mix (10 uM forward + 10 uM Reverse) -> hS18_212, hS18_306
Exp. Design
Template gDNA (100 ng/uL) H2O ------------------------------ 1/10 1/100 1/1000 Dilution factor ------------------------------ Primer: 18S-211 #1 #2 #3 #4 (#1, #2 - replicates) 18S-306 #5 #6 #7 #8 (#4, #5 - replicates)
Preparation
gDNA Template dilution: Stock solution 100 ug/mL = 100 ng/uL Oligo tube Dilution from 100 ng/uL ->10 ng/uL (1/10), 1 ng/uL (1/100), 100 pg/uL (1/1000)
Procedures
Step1: Preparing master mix
1 8+2 rxn -------------------------------------------- H2O 8.0 80.0 uL Taq 2X Master Mix 10.0 100.0 uL -------------------------------------------- 18.0 180.0 uL(180/10=18)
Step2: Transfer 18 uL of Master mix into each of 8 wells in PCR tube-strip
Step3: Add 1 uL primer (h18S-211 or h18S-306) and 1 uL template (gDNA or H2O) as indicated in Exp. design
Step4: Perform regular PCR
