Transforming E.Coli NEB Turbo to amplify plasmids for pRED/ET Engineering

2018/05/07
Participants: Dominic Schwarz
Protocol: Electro-transformation
Notes: pkD3 contains resistance cassettes with FRT-sites for pRED engineering. Due to the temperature sensitive promotor pNPTS138-R6KT which is used for bone-knockin via RecA recombineering, the cells were incubated at 30°C overnight.
Results: No colonies. We suspected electroporation to be a problem and switched to chemical transformation in NEB Turbo next.

Redo: Transforming E.Coli NEB Turbo to amplify plasmids for pRED/ET Engineering

2018/05/18
Participants: Dominic Schwarz
Protocol: Chemical Transformation
Notes: Inoculate pRED at 30°C because of temperature sensitive promoter
Results: No colonies. We suspected the E. Coli NEB Turbo to be a problem and switched to E. Coli Dh5α.

Redo: Transforming E.Coli Dh5α to amplify plasmids for pRED/ET Engineering

2018/05/24
Participants: Dominic Schwarz
Protocol: Electro-transformation
Notes: inoculate pRED at 30°C because of temperature sensitive promoter, pKD3 contains resistance cassette flanked by FRT sites
Results: We got cells containing the plasmid from PD Dr. Jürgen Lassak of the LMU.

Transforming E.Coli Dh5α to amplify plasmids for pRED/ET Engineering

2018/05/25
Participants: Dominic Schwarz
Protocol: Chemical transformation
Notes: pKD3 contains resistance cassette flanked by FRT sites
Results: No colonies. Because pRED/ET could not be transformed, we got readily transformed cells from PD Dr. Jürgen Lassak from the LMU

DNA preparation for pRED/ET Engineering

2018/05/26
Participants: Dominic Schwarz
Protocol: Miniprep
Notes: The cells from PD Dr. Jürgen Lassak were used for DNA preparation.
Results: Concentration of the plasmids obtains from MIniprep: pRED/ET: 37,5 ng/µl pNPTS138-R6KT: 60ng/µl
