Summary Gel Extracted/Purified BL01 Retransformed BL01 & BL05 Digested CMV/MV9 with XbaI for LCR LCR Digested CMV/MV9 with XbaI and desphos'd, clean and concentrated for long transformation Long Transformation Gel Extraction/Purification of BL01 Reagent Volume Expected: 1. BL01 = 2500bp DNA(BL01) 15.0 μL 10X buffer 3.0 μL XbaI 1.0 μL SpeI 1.0 μL dH2O 10 μL Total 30 μL --> 37°C/ 15 min. Gel Purification: BL01/V0120 Using Prior Digest Placed 15μL 1kB Ladder in well one and 30μL of BL01 digest in well two. Ran gel at 110V for 55 minutes. Placed gel on UV transilluminator and cut out desired band(2500bp). Used Zymo gel purification kit. Assumed 200mg gel, added 600μL ADB to the 1.5mL tube containing extracted gel piece. Put on heat block at 55°C for 8 minutes. Put ~750μL gel/ADB into spin column, centrifuged at max rpm for 30 seconds. Pipetted 200μL wash buffer to the tube, centrifuged at max rpm for 30 seconds. Repeated once. Transferred column to new labeled 1.5mL tube. Pipetted 15μL elution buffer to the column. Spun at max rpm for 30 seconds. Concentration Plasmid OD260 OD260/280 ng/μL 1.

Placed in thermocycler on LCR setting. Normal Transformation (BL01 & BL05 in V0120) Warmed selection agar plates at 37°C. Incubated DH5α Turbo competent cells on ice just until thawed. Use 50 μL per transformation. Added 50 μL thawed cells to 5μL LCR product. Immediately placed on ice and incubated for 10 min. (Do not heat shock; No 30 min. recovery is required for Amp resistance) Pipetted the total volume of cells + LCR reaction onto the agar; spread using sterile glass beads. Incubated overnight at 37°C. Long Transformation Using the set up ligation products from above. DH5α-T cells were thawed in ice. Two 1.5mL tubes were setup and labeled; LCR BL01 & Long Transformation BL01. 60μL of thawed cells were mixed and then transferred into each of these two empty tubes. The ligation products were then transferred into their respective tubes and flicked to mix. Set back on ice. All tubes incubated on ice for 35 minutes. All tubes were heat shocked on the heat block at 42°C for 30 seconds and then placed back on ice for 2 minutes. 900μL SOC Medium was pipetted into each of the three tubes. Tubes were taped into an empty plate. The plate was taped to the shaker within the incubator. Incubated on shaker for 1 hour at 37°C and 240rpm. Centrifuged for 1.5 minutes at 9 x g. 500μL media removed from each tube. Resuspended cell pellet in remaining 400μL media. 300μL cells transferred onto respective plate. Sterile glass beads used to spread cells onto plate. Placed in the incubator for overnight growth.
