<p><b>Results: </b></br>We went to see our bacterial culture: <ul style="text-align: left; list-style: disc;font-size: 16px;" >
<li>Bacteria transformed with pET 43.1 had not grown.</li>
<li>Bacteria transformed with pSB1C3 had formed colonies.</li></ul></br></p>
<p><b>Interpretations: </b></br>
Bacteria transformed with pET 43.1 did not grow. We found a non-commercial tube of pET 43.1  in the freezer from last year team, and we decided to try to amplify it because we did not have any commercial tubes of pET 43.1. Transformation did not work as expected, probably because:<ul style="text-align: left; list-style: disc;font-size: 16px;" >
<li>There was no DNA left in the tube.</li>
<li>The concentration of DNA was too low .</li></ul></p>
<p></br>We cultivated the transformed pSB1C3 bacteria in liquid medium 2 x 25ml + Chloramphenicol (25µg/ml) overnight at 37°C, 180 rpm.</br></p>
<p><b>Results: </b></br>
Bacteria successfully transformed with pSB1C3.</br>

<p><b>Extraction</b>:</br>
We extracted the pSB1C3 plasmid from the bacterial culture.</br>
The protocol used was the Qiagen Plasmid Purification Kit (See Midiprep for plasmid extraction protocol <a href="https://2018.igem.org/Team:Pasteur_Paris/Protocols/CellBio" style="font-weight: bold ; color:black; text-decoration:none;" target="_blank">here </a>)</br>
Measure of the DNA concentration in each tube thanks to the NanoDrop (Blank used : TE.1)
(See the NanoDrop protocol <a href="https://2018.igem.org/Team:Pasteur_Paris/Protocols/CellBio" style="font-weight: bold ; color:black; text-decoration:none;" target="_blank">here</a>)</br></p>



<p><b>Results</b>:</br>
We used the Nanodrop to quantify the purified DNA.</br></p>

<p><b>Interpretations</b>:
</br> 
<ul style="text-align: left; list-style: disc;font-size: 16px;" >
<li>Tube 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 did not contain DNA at all. This problem can be due to the fact that we failed the precipitation with ethanol, meaning that when we removed all the supernatant, we also removed the DNA, or that we removed by mistake the DNA pellet when removing all the supernatant after precipitation (the pellet was so small that we couldn’t see it with the naked eye). </li>
<li>Tube 3, 4 and 5 had DNA inside. The amount of DNA obtained is enough for us. These tubes have been placed in the freezer for later use. </li>
</ul></br>

<p></br>In order to constitute a stock of this commercial vectors, we transformed DH5-α competent cells with the plasmid we received, and then we cultivated them on agar plates covered with LB medium and carbenicillin.</br>
As the bacteria transformed with pET 43.1a did not grow, we tried again to transform the bacteria with pET 43.1a in a higher quantity than previously.</br></p>

<p><b>Interpretations</b>: </br>
Transformation of Seq#1 – 3a_NGF_Part1, Seq#2 – 3a_NGF_Part2 and Seq #8 – T7_RIP did work as expected. </br>
Transformation of Pet43.1a (+) did not work again. As mentioned before, the tube of pET43.1a (+) was a non-commercial tube that we found in the freezer from last year’s team, and we decided to try to amplify it because we did not have any commercial tubes of pET 43.1. We tried to transform our bacteria twice, with no results, so the most probable hypothesis is that the tube did not contain DNA anymore. After this experiment, we decided to buy a tube pET43.1a(+). </br>
</br>
We cultivated two different colonies from each plate (seq#1, seq#2, seq#8):<ul style="text-align: left; list-style: disc;font-size: 16px;" >
<li>One in an Erlenmeyer in 25 ml LB medium + Carbenicillin (100µg/ml) overnight at 37°C, 180 rpm.</li>
<li>One in two Falcon tube in 15 ml LB medium + Carbenicillin (100µg/ml) overnight at 37°C, 180 rpm.</li></ul></p>

<p><b>Extraction - MidiPrep</b>:</br>
We extracted the 3 plasmids Seq#1 – 3a_NGF_Part1, Seq#2 – 3a_NGF_Part2 and Seq #8 – T7_RIP from the bacterial cultures.</br>
The protocol used was the Qiagen Plasmid Purification Kit (See Midiprep for plasmid extraction protocol <a href="https://2018.igem.org/Team:Pasteur_Paris/Protocols/CellBio" style="font-weight: bold ; color:black; text-decoration:none;" target="_blank">here </a>)</br>
Measure of the DNA concentration in each tube thanks to the NanoDrop (Blank used : TE.1)
(See the NanoDrop protocol <a href="https://2018.igem.org/Team:Pasteur_Paris/Protocols/CellBio" style="font-weight: bold ; color:black; text-decoration:none;" target="_blank">here</a>)</br></p>

<p><b>Results</b>:</br>

<p><b>Interpretations</b>:</br> 
We have DNA in our tubes. The DNA is too concentrated so we will have to dilute them before next use. We froze the tubes at -20°C until next use.</p>

</br>
<p><b>Interpretations</b>: </br>
Transformation of Seq5 – RIP_Part1, Seq7 – RIP_Part3 and pBR322 did work as expected. </br>
Transformation of Pet43.1a (+) did not work again. The tube of pET43.1a (+) was another non-commercial tube that we found in the freezer from last year’s team, and we decided to try to amplify it because we did not have any commercial tubes of pET 43.1. We tried to transform our bacteria twice, with no results, so the most probable hypothesis is that the tube did not contain DNA anymore. </br>
We are still waiting for the commercial pET43.1a(+) (we ordered it last week).</br></p>
</br>
<p><b>Bacteria transformed pVDL 9.3</b>:</br>
The culture on agar plate did work, but we were not able to isolate one colony.</br>
We stopped the liquid culture and measured the OD600 of the culture medium.</br></p>

<p><b>Interpretations</b>: </br>
There is DNA in all the tubes. For Seq5 and Seq7, we obtain high DNA concentrations, which is good. For pBR322, the DNA concentration is lower. This is probably due to the fact that pB322 is a low copy plasmid. However, the quantity of DNA is enough.</br></br></p> 
<p><b>Preparing cultures for stocks</b>: </br>
We set some pre-cultures of Seq5, Seq7 and pBR322, in order to make some stocks to store at -80°C. 
In a 15 mL Falcon tube, we placed 5 mL of LB media, and 10 <FONT face="Raleway">μ</FONT>L of antibiotic (Carbenicillin). We added one of each colony inside each Falcon and placed the Falcon tubes inside the incubator (37°C – 180 rpm) and let grow overnight. </br></p>

                                        <p> Voltage difference calculated is extremely low, indicating a very good conductivity for the platinum wires, so its resistance (in low frequencies) can be neglected at first glance when it will be used in PDMS well chips. Resistance increases in higher frequencies, because of the skin-effect in metals: the strip transforms into an antenna. But as we are going to use only low frequencies, this doesn't affect us.</p>

<p><b>Interpretations</b>:</br>
The initial amount of each DNA fragment before digestion was 1500 ng.</br>
We can therefore evaluate the efficiency of our digestion and extraction:<ul style="text-align: left; list-style: disc;font-size: 16px;" >

As expected, we could observe a lot of colonies for the positive control. Some colonies had grown for the negative control (due to the linearized plasmid which circularized itself). For our ligated plasmid, we only observed a few colony (as much as in the negative control) so we didn’t know if the ligation succeeded. This is why we picked up 20 colonies and cultivated them overnight, hoping that one of these had the correct plasmid.</br></br>

The plate containing DH5-α transformed with Seq6 also had a lot of colonies, as expected.  </br></p>

<p><b>Liquid culture of DH5-α with Seq6</b></br>
We cultivated 2 different colonies in 250 mL Erlenmeyer containing:<ul style="text-align: left; list-style: disc;font-size: 16px;" >
<li>25 mL LB medium</li>
<li>25 <FONT face="Raleway">μ</FONT>L carbenicillin (25 mg/mL)</li></ul></br></p>
<p></br>
We cultivated it overnight in a shaking incubator at 37°C, 180 rpm.</br>

<p><b>Liquid culture of Stellar transformed with pBR322-Seq8</b></br></br>

<li>5 mL LB medium</li>
<li>5 <FONT face="Raleway">μ</FONT>L carbenicillin (25 mg/mL)</li></ul></p>

<p></br>We chose to verify which colony had acquired the plasmid containing the Seq8 insert. To do so, we digested the plasmid with the restriction enzymes EcoRI and PstI and ran a 1% agarose gel. </br>
The size of the plasmid pBR322 is 4361 bp. Once we cut the sequence between the sites EcoRI (bp position 4359) and PstI (bp position 3611), this leaves us with an empty backbone of 3613 bp. The size of the insert Seq8 is 461 bp. </br>
Here we made a mistake, by confusing the right restriction enzymes to use. Indeed, we should have used XbaI and SpeI instead of EcoRI and PstI. Moreover, as these two restriction sites are present in the pBR322 backbone (748 bp away), this digestion should show two DNA fragments.</br>

<p><b>1% Agarose gel of the miniprep of the ligated plasmid (pBR322 + Seq8)</b> from Stellar</br>
Only the first half of the samples (1 to 11) were deposed today. </br>
The preparation of the gel was done according to the Agarose Gel Preparation protocol.</br>
The samples were made according to the following proportions:<ul style="text-align: left; list-style: disc;font-size: 16px;" >
    <li> 5 µL DNA </li>
    <li>3 µL 10X Cutsmart Buffer </li>
    <li> 1 µL EcoRI</li>
    <li> 1 µL PstI</li>
    <li> 20 µL H2O</li></ul></p>
<p></br>
These samples were then incubated for 10 min at 37°C to allow digestion by the enzymes. </br>
The reaction was stopped by the addition of 6 µL of 6X Loading Dye. </br>

<p></br>This resulting gel shows the two DNA fragments we expected. Moreover, the column 3 shows a lower molecular weight (MW) than others for the plasmid part. As this part is supposed to contain our insert, it might suggest that colony 3 doesn’t possess the insert, but all others do. </br>
However, we will need to make the right experiment using restriction enzymes XbaI and SpeI (see date 08.02.2018) to verify that our insert was correctly put into the plasmid.</br></p>

<p></br>We let the DNA migrate for 10 minutes at 85 V on order to let the DNA penetrate the gel, and then 40 min at 125 V to efficiently separate the fragments.</br>
We then revealed the gel under UV lamp.</br></p>

<p></br><b>Observations</b>: For samples 1 to 11, we can only see DNA streaks. In wells 12 and 13, we can clearly see the plasmid pET43.1a linearized (well 12) and circular (well 13). In the well 14 we can clearly see the ladder. </br></br>

<b>Interpretations</b>: The streaks observed on the gel are probably due to the genomic DNA contamination. As mentioned the 08.03.2018, there was an error in the Miniprep of pET43.1a + Seq1 + Seq2. </br></p>

<p></br><b>Observations</b>: The 6 samples are linearized and migrated exactly like the plasmid pBR322 + Enzyme. Moreover, sample 6 without enzyme migrated like pBR322 without enzyme. </br></br>

<li>Colony 8 with no enzyme (well 8)</li>
<li>Two colonies from the negative control of the cloning with enzyme</li></ul></p></br>

<b>Interpretations</b>: We observed only one fragment for all the digested plasmids, and all the fragments have the same molecular weight as the negative control (vector without insert).</br>
Cloning did not work again. </br></br>

We assume that the failure might be:<ul style="text-align: left; list-style: disc;font-size: 16px;" >
<li>A too low initial amount of linearized vector before cloning, resulting in all the Stellar bacteria being transformed with an empty and uncut vector.</li>
<li>Too long overlaps, or too GC rich overlaps.</li></ul></p>
</br>
<p><b>Digestion of pBR322, PET 43.1, AND PLASMIDS CONTAINING Seq1, Seq2 and Seq8</b></br>
</br>
We plan to try cloning again with longer digestion and longer electrophoresis migration, in order to digest all the vector and to increase the efficiency of our separation.</br>

<p></br>We let the DNA migrate for 10 min at 85 V on order to let the DNA penetrate the gel, and then 80 min at 125 V to efficiently separate the fragments.
We then revealed the gel under UV lamp.</br></br>

<b>Interpretations</b>: Values of the ratio Abs<sub>(260 nm)</sub>/Abs<sub>(280 nm)</sub> are very high, indicating that our DNA is highly contaminated. Moreover, the concentrations obtained are too low for further use for cloning.</br>
</bt>
We have several hypotheses to explain why our experiment did not work:<ul style="text-align: left; list-style: disc;font-size: 16px;" >
<li>The Gel extraction kit we used might be expired (particularly the final buffer with which we elute DNA might have turned unusable)</li>
<li>We need to check the wavelength of the nanodrop</li></ul></p>
<p></br>We are going to try the digestion and extraction again tomorrow in order to try having better concentrations before proceeding to cloning.</p></br></br>

<h2>08.09.2018</h2></br></br>
The digestion and extraction of yesterday did not work well (the obtained concentrations of plasmid and insert were still too low to proceed to the cloning step with a suitable volume).</br>
Today, we will proceed again with the digestion, extraction and then try the cloning again, using this time the right amount of insert and vector (as recommended by Clontech molar ratio tool) and following the pieces of advice given to us by Takara Clontech technician we called.</br></p>

We let the DNA migrate for 10 min at 85 V on order to let the DNA penetrate the gel, and then 80 min at 125 V to efficiently separate the fragments.</br>
We then revealed the gel under UV lamp.</br>

<b>Interpretations</b>: <ul style="text-align: left; list-style: disc;font-size: 16px;" >
<li>For pBR322 + Seq8: On lanes corresponding to Col 1,3,4,5,6 two bands are clearly visible. One at 4 kb and another one at 1 kb, meaning that the plasmid digested by NdeI contained the insert Seq8. One band is visible on lane 2, Col 2 did not contain the insert. The control on lane 7 shows the plasmid digested without the insert at a higher molecular weight. The cloning worked for this construction, because bands observed between 700 bp and 1000 bp.</li>
<li>For pET43.1a + Seq1 + Seq2: From lanes 8 to 11, only one band is visible, and bands are visible at the same molecular weight as the control one (pET43.1a w/o insert and digested with NdeI). On lane 12, the band is lightly lower than the others but no other band corresponding to an insert is visible on lane 12. The cloning did not work for this construction.</li>

<p><b>Liquid culture pET43.1a + Seq1 + Seq2 and pBR322 + Seq8</b></br></br>
Colonies transformed with pET43.1a+Seq1+Seq2 (Colonies 7 to 25) were cultured in 5 mL LB media + 5 µL carbenicillin each (50 mg/mL)</br>
Two culture of pBR322+ Seq8 (Col 3 and Col 4) were cultured in 25 mL LB media + 25 µl carbenicillin each (50 mg/mL)</br>

<p><b>Electrophoresis on agarose gel</b></br></br>
We prepared a 1 % agarose gel in order to separate the different fragments of the cut plasmids.</br>
(See <a href="https://2018.igem.org/Team:Pasteur_Paris/Protocols/CellBio" style="font-weight: bold ; color:black; text-decoration:none;" target="_blank">here</a> the Agarose Gel Preparation protocol)</br> </br>

We filled:<ul style="text-align: left; list-style: disc;font-size: 16px;" >
<li>2 wells with digested pET43.1a  (n°1 and n°2)</li>
<li>10 wells with digested pET43.1a with NdeI (n°4 until n°13)</li></ul></p>
<p></br>
We let the DNA migrate for 10 min at 85 V on order to let the DNA penetrate the gel, and then 80 min at 125 V to efficiently separate the fragments.</br>
We then revealed the gel under UV lamp.</br>

<b>Interpretations:</b><ul style="text-align: left; list-style: disc;font-size: 16px;" >
<li>pET43.1a has correctly been cut/linearized (lane 1 and 2). It was excised from the gel and extracted using Quiaquick Gel extraction kit.</li>
<li>pET43.1a+ Seq1+seq2 cloning worked successfully on these colonies. We observed two bands as expected: one at ~ 6-7 kb and one at 1 kb. </li></ul></p>
<p></br>We choose to do a Midiprep with sample 10 and 11 in order to have enough DNA for preparing samples for sequencing. We also transformed sample 11 in BL21(DE3) pLysS, our chassis. </br></br>

The low concentrations can be due to a problem during the centrifugation steps, or to a too slow manipulation. </br></p>

Since the results from this morning’s midiprep were not high enough, we cultivated again the results from cloning pBR322 + Seq8 and pET 43.1a + Seq1 + Seq2.
We cultivated:<ul style="text-align: left; list-style: disc;font-size: 16px;" >

<p></br>
Each colony is cultivated in two Falcon tubes, each containing 15 mL LB medium + 15 <FONT face="Raleway">μ</FONT>L carbenicillin (50 mg/mL), in order to do a midiprep.</br>

The bacteria are cultivated overnight in a rotative incubator at 37°C, 180 rpm.</br></p>

<p></br>
We let the DNA migrate for 8 min at 85 V on order to let the DNA penetrate the gel, and then 65 min at 125 V to efficiently separate the fragments.</br>
We then revealed the gel under UV lamp.</br>

                                        <p> <b> Interpretation </b> </p>
                                        <p> Voltage difference calculated is very low, indicating a very good conductivity for the gold-coated membrane. Technically, we measured the conductivity of the system membrane+platinum wire, but we showed that the wire's conductivity could be neglected. Resistance increases in higher frequencies, because of the skin-effect in metals: it transforms into an antenna. But as we are going to use only low frequencies, this doesn't affect us.</p>

When the DO reaches 1.5 (and the bacteria are not in an exponential growth phase any more), we induced RIP production by adding IPTG.</br>
(See <a href="https://2018.igem.org/Team:Pasteur_Paris/Protocols/CellBio" style="font-weight: bold ; color:black; text-decoration:none;" target="_blank">here</a> the IPTG Induction of protein expression protocol)</br></br>

Different IPTG concentrations are tested for induction:<ul style="text-align: left; list-style: disc;font-size: 16px;" >
<li>0.05 mM</li>
<li>0.1 mM</li>
<li>0.2 mM</li>
<li>0.5 mM</li></ul></p>

DO600 is measured every 30 minutes (the sample is diluted 1/10 before each measure)</br>

<p><b>BL21 – NGF culture and protein induction</b></br></br>
Yesterday’s preculture was centrifuged at 4500 x g for 15 minutes. Supernatant was discarded and pellet was washed with 5 mL fresh sterile LB medium. 
We centrifuged again for 10 minutes at 4500 x g and supernatant was discarded.</br>
Pellet was resuspended in 10 mL LB medium + 10 <FONT face="Raleway">μ</FONT>L carbenicillin and 10 <FONT face="Raleway">μ</FONT>L chloramphenicol.</br>
</br>
From this suspension, three liquid culture were launched in three 250 mL sterile Erlenmeyer.</br>
Each Erlenmeyer contains:<ul style="text-align: left; list-style: disc;font-size: 16px;" >
<li>35 mL LB medium</li>
<li>35 <FONT face="Raleway">μ</FONT>L carbenicillin</li>
<li>35 <FONT face="Raleway">μ</FONT>L chloramphenicol</li>
<li>1 mL resuspended pellet</li></ul></p>
<p></br>
The Erlenmeyers are incubated in a shaking incubator at 37 °C and DO is followed to induce protein expression when bacteria are in exponential growth phase.</br>
</br>
At t = 80 min, when OD reaches 0.7, synthesis of the secretion system and NGF is induced by adding IPTG.</br>
(See <a href="https://2018.igem.org/Team:Pasteur_Paris/Protocols/CellBio" style="font-weight: bold ; color:black; text-decoration:none;" target="_blank">here</a> the IPTG Induction of protein expression protocol)</br></br>

Different IPTG concentrations are tested:<ul style="text-align: left; list-style: disc;font-size: 16px;" >
<li>Erlen 1 : 0.1 mM</li>
<li>Erlen 2 : 0.5 mM</li>
<li>Erlen 3 : 1 mM </li></ul></p>
<p></br>
The Erlenmeyer are incubated again, DO is measured every hour for two hours.</br>
Two hours after induction, cultures are stopped and 1 mL of each culture is pipetted and put in a 1.5 mL Eppendorf tube.</br>
Tubes are centrifuged, and pellet and supernatant are conserved separately.</p></br>

<p><b>Analysis of protein expression</b></br></br>
We analyzed the protein present in the supernatant and in the cytoplasm of induced cells by SDS-Page gel.</br>
(See <a href="https://2018.igem.org/Team:Pasteur_Paris/Protocols/CellBio" style="font-weight: bold ; color:black; text-decoration:none;" target="_blank">here</a> the SDS-PAGE protocol)</br>
</br>
The wells were filled as following:<ol style="text-align: left;font-size: 16px;" >
<li> Culture medium before induction</li>
<li>Uninduced supernatant</li>
<li>Uninduced pellet</li>
<li>Culture medium after 0.1 mM induction</li>
<li>Supernatant after 0.1 mM induction</li>
<li> Pellet after 0.1 mM induction</li>
<li> Culture medium after 0.5 mM induction</li>
<li> Supernatant after 0.5 mM induction</li>
<li> Pellet after 0.5 mM induction</li></ol></p></br></br>

This SDS-PAGE didn’t give satisfying results. There was a misunderstanding of the purification protocol as we had let the charging of the column go on over the weekend, which led to the emptying of the nickel from the column.</p></br>

<p><b>Kill switch test #1</b></br></br>
 
Cells pre-culture of DH5a + Seq9 + Carbenicillin (25 µg/mL) at different temperatures.</br>

Three culture conditions were performed: 37°C, 15°C and 4°C without positive control. After 4 hours of incubation 5 ml of each samples were placed at 37°C, 15°C or 4°C and incubated overnight.</br></p>

<p></br>Bacterial cultures placed at 15°C did not grow up on the four-hour period compared to the one a 37°C. Once placed at 37°C all bacterial cultures grown up again even if it is only slightly for the ones placed at 15°C and 4°C. </br>
We supposed the Kill switch has a bacteriostatic effect. We will perform another test with a positive control and different temperatures. </p></br>

Culture is diluted 1/10, making the OD600nm 0.228.</br>

When OD reaches 0.667,  BL21(DE3)pLysS culture is separated into four 5 mL cultures in 50 mL Erlenmeyer. RIP production is induced with different concentrations of IPTG:<ul style="text-align: left; list-style: disc;font-size: 16px;" >
<li>One is not induced (Negative control)</li>
<li>One is induced with 0.1 mM</li>
<li>One is induced with 0.5 mM</li>
<li>One is induced with 1 mM</li></ul></p>
<p></br>
Results after two hours induction (i.e. 550 minutes in the protocol above), OD is measured again:</p>

At around 33 kDa, one band more intense seems to be the NGF.</br>
</br>
The result of this Western Blot is not very clear. Yet, there seems to be a band at 33 kDa in moleculrar weight (MW) (which is the size of un-cleaved proNGF with the signal sequence HLYA). Several other bands of upper and lower MW bands are also visible. To confirm that the expression of recombinant proNGF is effective, this band along with a set of lower MW ones will be studied by Mass Spectrometry as shown below. If confirmed, this will mean that our NGF is not retained on the Ni-NTA column for an unknown reason, and that our proNGF is not cleaved from the signal peptide by the TEV protease. Presence of proNGF in lower bands might mean that the signal is cleaved, or that the full length protein has suffered from protease attack.</p></br>

<p><b>Test biofilm formation on various metals #1</b></br></br>
In order to test the adherence of our biofilm to metallic surfaces, two cylindrical pieces of metal, one made of titanium (TA6V4)  and the other of stainless steel (316L), approximately 5 cm in length and 1.0 cm in diameter each (Generous gift from I-CERAM, Limoges, France), were incubated in Falcon 15 + 7 ml of LB+ CAM.  50 µl of BL21(DE3)pLysSeq5,6,7 were inoculated. Incubation over the weekend at 37°C, 180 rpm. </p></br>

                                        <p> Bare alumina oxide membrane imaging confirmed the presence of 0.2 micrometer pores on the surface, enough to confine bacteria like <i>E. coli</i>. PEDOT:PSS-coated membrane revealed cluster-like formation of PEDOT:PSS deposits. It is thought that the lack of uniformity of the coating won't give the expected results in matters of biocompatibility and conductivity.</p>

Bacterial culture placed at 20°C over-weekend and spread on plate placed at 37°C formed a mat, i.e. completely covered the plate, for either the Kill-Switch and controls. However, when they were placed at room temperature (RT), the positive control formed a mat whilst the one containing the Kill-Switch formed small colonies (58 CFU) at D+1.  </br>
</br>
Cultures placed at 37°C over the week-end and incubated either at RT and 37°C grew as a mat. However, on the one containing the Kill-Switch less colonies grew. We counted 125 colonies at 1/50 dilution.</p></br></br>

<p>PBS 1X is drained from the 9 remaining chips. Cells are first permeabilized by adding Triton X-100 at 0.5 % for 10 min at room temperature and unspecific sites are saturated using bovine serum albumin (BSA) 1 % for 30 min at room temperature. Cells are stained for 1 h at room temperature using a mix of DAPI 1/20 000, anti MAP2 antibody coupled with Alexa Fluor 555 nm 1/500 and 1/500 Anti--tubulin antibody coupled with Alexa Fluor 448 nm. 
Antibody mix is drained, and cells are stored in PBS 1X in the dark at 4°C. </p>

Samples were centrifugated. Pellets were resuspended in 1 mL of LB. The sample going for the mass spectrometry measurement was resuspended in Buffer (Tris 20 mM, pH 8, NaCl 200 mM) and thermolyzed (5-10 min in dry ice and then placed at 37°C for 3 min). The lysate was centrifugated at 16 000 rpm during 5 min and supernatant was kept. </br>

<p>Stimulation and measure of the electric signal at the interface of the neuronal system and the conductive membrane using an oscilloscope and a low frequency generator. 
</p>

<p><i><b>Materials:</b></i>
</br>
-Vertical chip with PEDOT:Ts membrane (see <a href="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2018/6/60/T--Pasteur_Paris--Cell-Culture.pdf" style="font-weight:bold; color:black; text-decoration:none; "target="_blank">here</a> the Membrane PEDOT:Ts and PEDOT:Cl coating protocol) seeded with neurons and filled with culture medium (see <a href="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2018/6/60/T--Pasteur_Paris--Cell-Culture.pdf" style="font-weight:bold; color:black; text-decoration:none; "target="_blank">here</a> the Seeding neurons into the microfluidic chip protocol). 
</br>
-Function generator (GW Intstek SFG-2010)
</br>
-Oscilloscope (Tektronix TBS 2000 Series)
</br>
-Phosphate buffered saline solution (PBS)
</br>
</p><br>

<p><i><b>Procedure:</b></i>
</br>
The goal is to measure the output of nerves in presence of a membrane by subjecting them to an electric signal. 
Function generator is set on sine mode, 240 mV at 50 Hz. The two wires are connected to the silver paste spots on the bottom of the imaging dish and between the two layers of PDMS composing the chip to allow the current to pass through the system. An oscilloscope is then connected to these spots as well. First measurements indicate that the input signal is not being transmitted at all (<i>Figure 1</i>) by the system neurons + membrane, suggesting something is not working well in the setup.

</br>

<p>It is hypothesized, the ions in the culture medium might be perturbing the measure, so the decision is taken to remove the culture medium from the chip. The result is the same (<i>Figure 2</i>).</p>

</br>

<p>The chip is then washed with PBS 1X and another measurement is made. Results remained the same (<i>Figure 3</i>).</p>

</br>

<p><i><b>Results:</b></i>
</br>
Results: It can be concluded from this experiment, that testing the electric conductivity of the system neurons + membrane is harder than expected and might indicate the need for more precautions and more rigorous methods of measurement.</p>

<p><b>Batch purification of 6xHIS-tagged proNGF (Seq1,2) with Ni-NTA beads under native and partial denatured conditions. </b></br></br>

<u>Aim</u>: Purify the proNGF under both native and partial denatured form to study whether the His-tag is accessible for Ni-NTA purification. We already tried on Ni-NTA column without any  retention of our His-tagged protein on the column. </br>
</br>
Material:<ul style="text-align: left; list-style: disc;font-size: 16px;" >
<li>2 x 200 µl Ni-NTA beads (100 µl beads)</li>
<li>Buffer A (Tris 20 mM, pH 8, NaCl 200 mM) and Buffer U (Tris 20 mM, pH 8, NaCl 200 mM, Urea 2M)</li></ul></p><p></br>
Under native conditions, work at 4°C, under partial denatured work at room temperature (RT).</br></br>
</br>
Ni-NTA beads were equilibrated with 4 volumes of beads (Buffer A or U), centrifuged for 5 min at 500 x g, two times. One volume of protein solution was added and allowed to bind for 1 hour at 4°C or RT. Beads were centrifuged for 5 min at 500 x g and an aliquot was taken. Beads were washed 4 times with 4 volumes of buffer containing 20 mM Imidazole. One volume of elution buffer (Imidazole 250 mM) was added and allowed to stand for 10 min. Centrifugation allow to get back the supernatant containing purified proteins.  </br>
</br>

Addition of loading buffer and heat the sample at 95°C for 5 min. Sample were loaded on 2 Bis-tris 12% gel. </br>
One gel was stained with E/Z blue staining. The other gel was transferred on to a nitrocellulose membrane and stored in PBS at 4°C. </p></br></br>

<p></br>
We performed batch purification using NiNTA beads under native and partial denaturing conditions (Urea 2 M) followed by Western Blot analysis with immunodetection through Anti-His Antibodies Alexa Fluor 647. (Figure 10) Detection of His-tag in the pellet supernatant of induced BL21 with 1 mM IPTG and flow through when partially denatured.
His-tagged proNGF was not retained on NiNTA beads. N-terminal His tag may be hidden in the protein fold. Consequently, we did not manage to purify the proNGF.</p></br></br>

                                        <p> Membrane microchannel chip bacteria confinement experiment. Optical density measure of a sample of liquid culture. Liquid culture was poured in a microchannel chip on one side, and optical density of the liquid that flowed to the other side of the microchannnels was measured. 
                                        <p><b> Results </b></p>
                                        <p> Liquid culture OD: 0.44 </p>
                                        <p> OD of liquid after flowing through the chip: 0.41. </p>
                                        <p><b> Interpretation</b></p>
                                        <p> We expected a much lower OD after liquid flow through the chip, so this suggests the presence of a leak in the chip, that allows the liquid culture to flow without retaining the bacteria. The decision was taken to investigate further and to observe the flow under a microscope. </p>

Urea 8M </br>
Ni-NTA beads (200 µl)</br>
</br>
<u>Aim</u>: Purify the NGF under denaturing condition to know if the His tag is accessible for NiNTA purification. We already tried under native and partial denaturing condition but the protein was not retained on beads. </br></br>

Material:<ul style="text-align: left; list-style: disc;font-size: 16px;" >
<li>200 µl Ni-NTA beads (100 µl beads)</li>
<li>Buffer Equilibration (Tris 20 mM, pH 8, NaCl 200 mM, Urea 8M)</li>
<li>Buffer Wash (Tris 20 mM, pH 8, NaCl 200 mM, Urea 8M, Imidazole 20 mM)</li>
<li>Buffer Elution (Tris 20 mM, pH 8, NaCl 200 mM, Urea 8M, Imidazole 250 mM)</li></ul></p></br>
<p></br>

Ni-NTA beads were equilibrated with 1 ml of Equilibration buffer and centrifuged for 1 min at 3500 x g, two times. One volume of protein solution was added and allowed to bind for 1 hour at RT. Beads were centrifuged for 1 min, centrifuged at 3 500 x g and an aliquot was taken. Beads were washed 4 times with 4 volumes of buffer containing 20 mM Imidazole. Two volumes of elution buffer (Imidazole 250 mM) was added and allowed to stand for 10 min. Centrifugation allowed to get back the supernatant containing purified proteins. </p></br> </br>

On the opposite, PEDOT:Cl and PEDOT:Ts seem to exhibit on average better conductivities, but in the same time, the coating of these membranes revealed by electron microscopy seemed to have covered the alumina oxide membranes in a more uniform way, assuring enhanced conductive capabilities. These results can be criticized because of the high deviation and because the membranes conductivity was measured after several biofilms were grown on them, which may have affected the measurements. </p>

                                        <p> Membrane is located on the right side, and liquid culture was poured on that side, before the membrane. Bacteria was still able to flow to the left side, but they were not following the microchannels, instead they were just flowing in a single direction, suggesting the membrane lifts the microfluidic chip from below and thus causes massive leakings in the microfluidic circuitry. We concluded that the microchannel chips we designed didn't really meet the requirements they were designed for. </p>

                                        <p> <b> Interpretation </b> </p>
                                        <p> As told by the membrane manufacturer, biofilm formation on gold membranes seems indeed to be more difficult than on other membranes. However we expected PEDOT:PSS-coated membranes to stimulate more the growth of biofilm, but perhaps that may be just another indicator of the incomplete coating. Surprisingly, PEDOT:Cl tends to allow better formation of biofilms. We realized only after the experiments the need for a control biofilm culture without membrane. </p>
                                        <p> Conductivity with a biofilm is better with gold membranes, although the conductivity of gold membranes themselves isn't the best. This may be explained by the fact, that because of the thinner biofilm formation on gold membranes, the electrical wires touched not only the biofilm, but also the membrane, bypassing the biofilm and leading to imprecise measurements.
                                        <p> Approximate biofilm conductivity is therefore probably wrong for the gold membrane. However, it is interesting to notice that the biofilm conductivity measured for the bare alumina oxyde, PEDOT:Ts-coated one and PEDOT:PSS-coated give more or less the same value, suggesting that with more measurements, adapted equipement and better methods it would be indeed possible to measure the biofilm's conductivity with our PDMS well chips. </p>

                                        <p> <b> Interpretation </b> </p>
                                        <p> Membrane is located on the left side, and liquid culture was poured on that side, before the membrane. Bacteria this time wasn't able to flow to the right side, the membrane stopped their progression. It is clear on figure 6, that the left side is crowded with bacteria, and the right side is empty (apart from a few PDMS impurities). Final conclusion on the membrane microchannel chips is, that although the integration method of the membrane filter in the chip is complicated and a bit improvised, some chips apparently do fulfill their purpose, demonstrating this way the confinement of the bacteria with a membrane.</p>
