Interesting.  I saw this paper, tried it, and found it to work extremely not
so well.  Did you A/B it with gelatin, BSA, milk, etc.?  I'd be interested
in whether you altered the protocol at all.  In my hands, coomassie blue
would have given the same results.  Are you doing chemi or colorimetric?

    Recently we reported a strategy based on the alkline lysis method to
prepare minipreps using a simple and economic way. Please see the
following publication.
    Ramakrishna Lakshmi, Vijaya Baskar and Udaykumar Ranga.: `Extraction
of Superior    Quality Plasmid DNA by a Combination of Modified Alkaline
Lysis and Silica Matrix`. Anal. Biochem., 272, 109-112, 1999
    We used silica from Sigma (#S 5631) that costs about 12-13 USD. With
this quantity of silica approximately 60,000 (sixty thousand) minipreps
could be prepared from E. coli. The quality of DNA is comparable to that
of commercial kits. Whereas the commercial kits cost 1-2 USD per each
miniprep, this in-house method costs next to nothing. The yield of DNA
by our method is roughly half compared to the standard alkaline method,
therefore for several routine applications (where yield not a
consideration) it is a good alternative to commercial kits.

Do you known something DNA binding resins or similar surface to

I did labelling yearsago with inserts in plasmids. Everything was the same
as normal PCR except cold p32 1/3 of normal concentration, hot p32 the same
as in random labelling.

1. You just need to use random priming method by replacing the random
primer with your specific pcr primers, so that you will get a full length
labelled probe DNA. We have used this approach and it works well.
2. Label your DNA ends by kinase (T4 PNK), or kinase label your PCR primers
before pcr.
3. PCR labelling is a bit tricky. It is not reliable in my hands at all.
hope this of help.

Dear sirs

I want to determine the amino acid sequence of a monoclonal antibody we have
isolated. I heard that there are some kits specialized to isolate cDNA of
immuno globulines or RT-PCR kit (or custome-made primers?). Please tell me
information for the kits if some of you  know about it.

You can e-mail me directly at
fujimoty@pharm.teikyo-u.ac.jp

Thank you very much!

I want to perform RNAse protection assays. In the normal protocol you have
to digest the RNAse with protease and extract with phenole/chloroform to
get rid of active RNase after the digestion step. 
Now we have problems with the organic radioactive waste and I would also
like a faster and more convenient procedure. Ambion sells a kit which
contains a inactivation/precipitation solution. Does anybody know the
composition of this solution (I suppose it contains a chaotropic salt and
a reducing agent) or has another good alternative for the proteinase K
step?
I do not want to start a new discussion about kits but buying it from
Ambion is to expensive and additionally I really want to know about the
things I work with.

TIA, Juergen

Does anybody know where to obtain caspase-1 / ICE (rec. active enzyme, or
homogenate containing caspase-1 activity)?
Is it commercially available or is it possible to obtain small amounts from
research groups?

Hi behrends
I remember an article in Elsevier's Technical Tips Online
(http://www.biomednet.com/db/tto). "Purification of a hexahistidine-tagged
protein using L-histidine as the eluent"
by                                                                            
Steve Gort and Stanley Maloy
I must admit that i tried it but had problems at 4oC wuth the histidine
solubility.
Hope this helps
Dave

Have you tried just precipitating after Proteinase K digestion without
phenol extraction? The RNAse shoould be dead after PK, and the carry
over of the PK shouldn't hurt anything downstream.

BTW, is the problem with phenol in general, or radioactive phenol? If
the latter, can't you just hold it until it decays to background (I'm
assuming you're using 32P here), then treat it like ordinary phenol
waste?

Nick

Hello everybody!!

We have been trying to use the RevTET system from Clontech for inducible
expression in 3T3-L1 without any success.

We have tried both serial and simultaneous infection of the target
cells, with virus produced from both transiently transfected packing
cells and selected packing cells.
We have used Doxyciclin (0,5 and 1 µg/ml) for induction during 12, 24,
72 hours.

No expresion whatsoever!!!

Any feedback from successful AND unsuccessful attempts to use this
system will be very welcomed (preferably by E-mail).

Thanks!

You need to be a little more specific here, as there are ***many*** steps in
the protocol where things can go awry. Have you already been
troubleshooting, and if so, what?

Best,

Hi Soenke,
Try elution with low pH. It works great and does not usually harm your
protein. I routinely use solutions buffered at pH 6.3, pH 5.5, pH 4.8
(e.g. phosphate buffer). Most proteins elute at 5.5, some at 4.8. It is
usually desirable to back-titrate to neutral as soon as possible.
There are two potential problems:
1. The protein does not elute. Try 50mM HCl as eluent, and allow to
elute directly into a reaction tube containing 1M Tris, pH 8.0.
2. The protein gets "degraded". If you see distinct degradation bands,
your protein may be susceptible to acid hydrolysis. This kind of
degradation is enzyme-independent (so protease inhibitors won´t change
the situation), and usually cleaves proteins at DP bonds (the peptide
bond between aspartic acid and proline). In that case, acid elution is
NOT an option, of course.

A second possible way to elute your protein is to chelate the nickel
with EDTA. Try elution with 100mM EDTA. The column (which is usually
slightly blue) will turn white as the nickel elutes together with your
protein. Elution with EDTA also works very well, but has the drawback
that the eluted protein will have to be dialysed to get rid of nickel
and EDTA.

As to cleavage from the column: This works if you don´t need lots of
your protein. You can e.g. use enterokinase, factor Xa, or thrombin, but
these enzymes are quite expensive. So for larger amounts of recombinant
protein it is not economical to do. In addition, the commercial enzymes
are not very pure. This means you cleave off the protein and at the same
time contaminate it with the protease (and the other proteins in the
enzyme preparation). I wouldn´t resort to that unless absolutely
necessary.

Hope this helps,
Gruesse aus Konstanz,
Frank

Help ! !  !

Can anyone give me some alternative methods to analyse the methlyation status
of genomic DNA (eg CpG) other than the classic mspI/hpaII-southern method ?
maybe some modern ones !!

your help is much appreciated !!

Hi Younes,
What about growing the cells in a medium they like to get biomass first, then
spin them down and concentrate, say tenfold, by resuspension in induction
medium.

just a thought,

This isn't about alternative elution methods, but, since you have a
hemoprotein, it should be easy to detect if the heme becomes unbound
from the protein spectrophotometrically. Do an absorption scan of your
protein from about 400-500 nm in the absence or presence of various
concentrations of imidazole. If the heme group becomes unbound, the
absorbance peaks (esp. the Soret peak) should shift position
dramatically (at least, it does for hemoglobin and cytochrome c).

I doubt it! If you are indeed concerned do the following. 
Add 250 mM imidazole to your protein solution, wait an hour
or so, than do spin gel-filtration over Sephadex G-25 or Bio-Gel
P6 (such columns are sold commercially or can be easily 
prepared in the lab). If eluate (excluded protein) is colorless, 
then you do have heme dissociation. If the protein is still 
colored, you don't have anything to worry about. 
(or simply measure heme's absorbance shift which usually is 
pretty big). 

In any case, you can always try elution at pH < 6.0
if your protein survives it (not all do). 

Finally, there is always an option to wash the column with
20 mM imidazole and elute bound protein by 50 mM EDTA
(then dialysis to get rid of Ni2+/EDTA).

:I have thought also to construct a  His-tag with TEV protease
:site and cleave it off the column, but I am forced to tag
:the C-terminus and I have not found any vector / technique

You always have an option to insert the tag manually at C-terminus
in frame with the upsteam sequence. In most cases this requires
blunt end ligations but that's no problem, right?

Does anyone out there do isolated nuclei work?  I was wondering:  when
you fractionate nuclei out of cell lysates, do cytoplasmic proteins
remain attached to the outside of the pore complexes?  Does anyone have
a protocol for isolating nuclei that leaves no question that all
proteins found were inside the nucleus and not just attached to the
outside at the NPC's?

Thank you

I am trying to clone a very GC rich repetitive DNA fragment. I have been
getting very low yield of plasmid DNA (sometimes with some smear like
contamination on the gel check). Does this have something to do with the
repeat sequences? Does anybody have similar experience?

hi,

I'm helping to organise a workshop regarding protein sequencing and
biomolecular modelling. Can anybody give any suggestions as to what
topics are suitable for such a workshop? So far, there are some topics
such as the fundamentals of protein sequencing, strategies and
optimization. Any other suitable topics which would be useful for the
participants? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

rowyna

Dear helpful scientist

I'm working on the construction of a genomic phage library of a mutant
mouse genome, and I ordered the complete set of FIX-II Partial Fill-in
Kit, Ligation-Kit and Klenow- Fill-in Kit from STRATAGENE.

First I had problems with the positive Partial Fill-in Control, but I
fixed This up.

So, now the yield of clones after packaging is not satisfied ! The Phage
arms disapperd after ligation to partial digested and filled-in DNA, but
I got only 12000 pfu (Packaging control gave 1,25 E9 pfu)

So, the hypothesis arose, that to much genomic DNA (2 micro g in this
ligation) to 1 micro g FIX-II Vector is to much.
Now I ligated 0,4 microg DNA to 1 microg FIX-II in the hope to get more
pfu.

Is there someone with experience with library construction by partial
digestion, partial fill-in technique and ligating to FIX-II ?

Is my hypothesis right ? The information is important because ligation
and packaging in expensive and time consuming.

AND: Is there someone with a technique to amplify  the FIX-II Vector for
further experiments ?

Thank you

Possibly because the majority of US users had or still have Macs. As the
software companies were also US they wrote software primarily for that
market. In the UK we never used Macs, because PC's were more readily
available than Macs. I don't wish to open a Mac v PC debate.

8-) I'm glad you speak for yourself and not the whole UK! I work at a
lab (since '87) where we are almost exclusively Mac for labwork with
UNIX machines for the bigger jobs.  Macs have always been 'available' if
one cared to make the choice.  If by 'available' you mean 'cheap' then
that's a different story.

Hi,

unfortunately I don't have the solution for your particular problem
but I experienced one thing when using Stratagene's library construction
kits: In my hand it was absolutely crucial to use Stratagene's ligase to
get satisfactory results. When I used Boehringer's ligase to construct
a genomic library into ZAP-Express it didn't work at all, when I
switched
to Stratagene's ligase, which didn't come with the kit, everything was
perfect no matter what insert to vector ratio I used.
Hope this helps

Ricky

Muh?  In my experience of the academic life (in the UK) the administrators
&c. tended to use IBMPCs and the scientists, Macs.

Good . . .

There is no such thing... because of the basic chemistry of the SH group

The deprotonated form (RS-) is much more nucleophilic than the protonated
form (RSH). Fuethermore, the typical thiol has a pKa of around 8.5. Thus at
pH 9 thiols are more than 50% deprotonated, while at pH 6 there is
essentially no unprotonated thiol.

The bottom line... the reaction of thiols with any reagent will depend on
the pH in the range 6 to 9. Reactions will proceed quite well at pH 9 and
very poorly (if at all) at pH 6.

Dear All,

Currently, I am interested in detecting the differences between the
administration of OVA protein and OVA plasmid to mucosa with respect to
the immune response. Can someone supply me with an expression vector
encoding OVA or any other plasmid containing the OVA gene so I can
subclone OVA myself? Email me at J.van_Helvoort.cell@med.vu.nl. Thanks
in advance,

Best regards, Joop van Helvoort

Greetings,

I am investigating the possibility of using a polysaccharide-based polymer
to form nanoparticles with DNA via coacervation (eg Leong et al. 1998
Journal of Controlled Release, vol 53 p.183). I am looking for a supplier
of high-quality Chitosan. Sigma/Fluka etc. only supply practical grade
material that I am reluctant to use (and indeed I observe problems with
dissolving the supplied material). Does anyone out there know of a company
(preferably near the UK) that could supply my needs?

Also if anyone has information concerning the solubility of chitosan
(especially in regards to pH) I'd appreciate it - the literature suggests
a 0.02% w/v solution pH5.5 in 5 mM NaHOAc0 for a working concentration but
in my hands, with the material as supplied large quantities of insoluble
material remains.

Cheers in advance.

Chris

My first thought was "how is it normally done?" and "how are you actually doing
it?"
I used cyclosporine a long time ago and what we used to do is slowly add diluent
(culture fluid etc) to the etoh-csa.  Are there other solvent you can use
(DMSO).  WHat temp is the culture fluid?  does serum play a role either pos or
neg in the precipitating out?

I used GIBCO's kit (I solemnly affirm that I am not affiliated to them)
with good success on guard-cell material. The key, of course, is in primer
design.  You can find their protocol on www.lifetech.com.  Others have
reported success with Clontech, but it did nothing in my hands.

Good luck.

I have used both the Digoxygenin system from Boehringer, and the
Alk-Phos direct system from Amersham (No assoc etc...).  Each kit has
it's advantages and disadvantages.  Namely: the Dig-kit has a few extra
steps in detection (essentially a Western step) but has more flexibility
in generating probes (such as random priming, PCR, klenow etc.)  The
Amersham kit is nice b/c the probe can be labeled in a matter of a half
an hour, and the signal generation/detection is less complex than the
Dig system.  The main disadvantage to the Amersham system (in my
opinion) is the lack of flexibility in post hyb stringency washes.  This
system utilizes an enzyme that is only stable to ~55oC, so high temp
washes are out of the question, although you do have great latitude in
adjusting alt concentrations to make up for it.

In my hands both kits have worked very well, the quirks associated with
each system of minor consequence.  Information and protocols for these
kits are available on line from the supplier.

Best of luck.

Tied DMSO? Toxic, but dissolves many molecules really well, so you can
dilute it strongly with medium before use.

Good luck,

Cutting at the edge of the DNA molecule is tricky, and it depends on the
enzyme you are using. The New England Biolabs catalog gives some good
information on this in one of the appendices (not relation with the
company). SacI it is quite bad for this, and BamHI is not very good. I
would suggest adding extra bases (from 3 to 5-10) to the end of the
oligo for improving the cutting. Check the NEB list for choosing better
enzymes for this job.

If you go to the Roche Diagnostics web site, do a product search typing
in the catalogue no. for their RACE kit, and you will find a .pdf
document with the complete protocols, recipes etc. for their RACE kit.
You don't have to use their kit but it will give a good overview and
fault finding guide.

OK I hold my hands up. My generalisation was too general. So I'll bow

     Has anyone used RQFlex for measuring chloride ion, is it good or not, 
     currently, one of my friends is interested in purchasing one, but he 
     is not sure if it is reliable and accurate, your comments would be 
     highly appreciated. Thanks a lot.  Changyong
