The original protocol suggested a double digest with EcoRI and NcoI that resulted in two relatively large bands &#8211; one at 2kb and one at 5kb. In concequence, the length relations made it hard to reliably identify clones with an intact isert. With this alternative Protocol, conducting a digestion with XhoI, you get a gel picture that is, in my opinion, much easier to interpret.</p>
<p><strong>unfortunately, the protocol is currently only available in German.</strong></p>
<h2>Alternatives Screening-Protokoll</h2>
<h3>Material</h3>
<ul>
<li>Plasmid Miniprep Kit (Qiagen #27104)</li>
<li>XhoI (Fermentas #ER0691)</li>
<li>TopVision LE Agarose (Fermentas #R0491)</li>
<li>Rotiphorese 10x TBE-Buffer (Carl Roth 3061.1)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Procedere</h3>
<ol>
<li>(Tag 1) Nach der Trafo und 16-18h Kultur auf LB-Amp Agarplatten ca. 5-10 Kolonien von der Platte picken und in 3ml LB-Amp übernacht kultivieren.</li>
<li>(Tag 2) 2ml der ÜN-Kultur für eine Mini-Präp verwenden,<br />
Achtung: für den Elutionsschritt ddH<sub>2</sub>O oder Tris-HCL Puffer nehmen, da EDTA die anschließenden enzymatischen Reaktionen stören kann. Die restliche Kultur wird vorübergehend im Kühlschrank bei +4°C gelagert oder kann als Glycerolstock eingefroren werden.</li>
<li>Für die photometrische Messung des DNA-Gehalts, mache eine 1:100 Verdünnung mit 5µl miniprep DNA und 495µl ddH<sub>2</sub>O</li>
<li>Setze einen Master-Mix für den Verdau-Ansatz an (plane für n+2 Ansätze).<br />
Berechne für jeden Ansatz:</p>
<ul>
<li>1µg miniprep DNA</li>
<li>2µl Puffer R (Fermentas 10x Puffer für XhoI)</li>
<li>0.5µl XhoI</li>
<li>auf 20µl ddH<sub>2</sub>O</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Inkubiere die Verdauansätze bei 37°C für 1-2h</li>
<li>Trage die Verdauansätze auf ein 1% Agarosegel auf und mache einen Gellauf bei 10V/cm für ca. 45 Minuten.</li>
</ol>
<p>Positive Klone haben eine deutliche Bande bei 380bp, außerdem eine schwache Bande bei 190bp und den &#8220;Rest&#8221; bei ~5000bp. Diese Klone sollten zur Sequenzierung eingeschickt werden. Bei nicht intakten Inserts ergibt sich ein Bandenshift von 50-80bp. Klone mit religiertem Stuffer haben außerdem eine Bande bei ~2000bp.</p>

So, in the next few months Peter and myself will establish the spheroid-assay at our lab at the pancreas research center in heidelberg.<br />
last week i got a phone call from the surgery’s residency director asking me to begin my clinical work next monday (!) initially i was supposed to start my residency in april… just the other day i gave the first “release candidate” of my medical thesis to dr. schwartz-albiez, who is my supervisor at the <a href="http://www.dkfz-heidelberg.de/cellimmunol/" class="liexternal">dkfz</a>. i keep my fingers crossed that he agrees on submitting the work without further editing. yipee! today i got my medical identity card. now i am officially enabled to get all those fine drugs and pills (just for my own requirements) at the pharmacy</p>
