  • ✓ RT-PCR: 4-day dox induction of Pc-ATF lines, mCh primer optimization
  • ✓ Senescence assay: expand KAH126-3, -4 cell cultures to 10 cm plates (maintenance med.)
  • ✓ Minipreps: FlpE (4)

RT-PCR

> Reaction 1: optimization of mCherry primers
--> cDNA templates

  1. KAH126-1 (1:1)
  2. KAH126-1 +dox (1:1)
  3. KAH126-1 (1:10,000)
  4. KAH126-1 +dox (1:10,000)
  5. FTRx (1:1)
  6. FTRx +dox (1:1)
  7. FTRx (1:10,000)
  8. FTRx +dox (1:10,000)

--> primers

  1. mCh f1/r1, 100 bp, #1-8
  2. mCh f2/r2, 100 bp, #9-16

--> Aliquot 19.5 μL of each DNA mix to appro. wells
--> Add 0.5 cDNA to each well
--> PCR (96-well)

  • 95°C/ 3 min.
  • [95°C/ 30 sec., 57°C/ 30 sec., 72°C/ 30 sec.] x35
  • 72°C/ 3 min.
  • 4°C/ ∞

--> Result: primer pair one shows expected results at 1:10,000 dilution
--> Next PCR: full Pc-ATF sample set, plus gene target primers
