February
We began working in our brand-new lab space! When we first arrived, the lab was nothing but two work benches. We had to collect and organize the equipment, materials, cell culture room, and work area; all according to lab safety standards. We also began cloning the plasmids for our experiments and learning how to work with cell culture by practicing on HEK293 cells.
Highlights: clone Steap4, Timp1, F4/80 into pGL4.17 and pGL3 plasmid for Promoter Assay.
March
In March, we experienced our first little success. We cloned our promoters into the pGL3 vector and were able to begin our first experiment, the Promoter Assay. Meanwhile, so far, our practice cells were alive and well.
Highlights: A decision was made to concentrate our efforts on the pGL3 plasmid expression assay. Because, then we could compare the expression among the promoters and we wouldn’t have to use two sets of luciferase kits.
