pGA vector Assay
- Prepare these mixtures on ice
- Obtain a 40 uL aliquot of BL21 cells.
- Add 120 uL of ice water to the aliquot.
- The total volume is now 160 uL; split evenly among four labeled tubes: INS + BCK, INS + BCK, INSctrl, BCKctrl.
- INS + BCK tubes (x 2)
- add 1 uL of 10X-diluted pGA Gibson product (1A3 BCK/INS pLacGFP)
- INSctrl tube
- add 100 pg of pLacGFP gel extract
- BCKctrl
- add 100 pg of 1A3 gel extract
- INS + BCK tubes (x 2)
- Repeat steps 1-3 for the comparison vector pSB using the following instead:
- 1 uL of pSB Gibson product (T19-1A3/pLacGFP)
- 1 ng INS (pLacGFP- gel extract)
- 1 ng BCK (T19-1A3- gel extract)
- Once all the samples are ready, begin the transformation.
- Rescue each sample in 500 mLs of LB
- Incubate all samples @ 37oC for ~45 min.
- Plate 50 uL on each sample onto a LB + Chlor + Amp + IPTG plate.
- 1 plate for each control in each vector set.
- 3 plates for each Gibson product tube in each set. ( 6 plates for each vector set + 2 control plates)
