1. We carried out agarose gel electrophoresis to detect the PCR products.

2. We transformed E. coli XL-1 blue with the plasmid pUAST-flag.

Results

1. Image of the agarose gel.

Lane 2；the amplified API2-MALT1 cDNA fragment

Lane 3；the amplified DIAP2 cDNA fragment

Sizes of the fragments were different from the expected sizes.

2. The transformed bacterial colonies were detected.

1. I have repeated the PCR reactions to amplify API2-MALT1 cDNA and DIAP2 cDNA under the same conditions as those carried out on 8th, August.

2. I picked up the colonies and grew them in liquid culture.

Results

2. I have successfully grown the transformed bacteria.

1. Amounts of the isolated plasmid DNA samples were quantified by measuring the absorbance at OD260.

2. We grew the transformed bacteria (25 ml x 2) and the plasmid pUAST-flag DNA was isolated by Midi-prep (Invitrogen).

Results

1. The absorbance at OD260 of two independent plasmid DNA samples are shown in Table 1.

The restriction enzyme-digested PCR fragments and pUAST-flag DNA were extracted from the agarose gel by QIAquick Gel Extraction Kit.

Results

Image of agarose gel after DNA fragment isolation.

The amount of the purified pUAST-flag vector was 45.0375 ng/µl.
