Notes: Knockout mice deficient in the tyrosine kinase receptor Kit, which is critical for the development of melanocytes from neural crest-derived precursor cells, were generated. The Kit encoding region was replaced in these mice with the LacZ gene, a convenient marker for Kit expression. Kit-LacZ homozygous mices were identified by PCR using Promega's Taq DNA Polymerase to amplify a 800bp band corresponding to LacZ and to confirm the absence of the 148bp band of Kit. Primary neural crest cell cultures from knockout mouse embryos were immunostained with the Anti-β-Galactosidase mAb to localize Kit expression. Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldhyde and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton®-X-100 prior to immunostaining. (2422)

Notes: Total RNA was isolated from human serum by combining 100µl of serum with 175µl of SV RNA Lysis Buffer. Only fresh or once-frozen serum was used. The SV Total RNA Isolation System was also used to isolate total RNA from tumor tissue. The rest of the protocol was followed as directed in the technical manual. The quantities of RNA isolated from serum were too low to quantitate so 1µl or 5µl of the isolated RNA was used in RT-PCR to analyze RNA content. (2160)

Notes: The pTARGET™ Mammalian Expression Vector was used to clone and express MIG (monokine-induced by Interferon-gamma) and IP-10 (interferon-inducible protein 10) in A549 human adenocarcinoma cells. Stable transfectants were obtained through G418 selection. (2058)

Notes: The Access RT-PCR System was used to amplify Vα₁₀Jα₂₄ mRNA of the TCR alpha chain and the resulting product was cloned with the pGEM^®-T Vector System. (0734)

Notes: Total RNA was isolated from uninfected Vero cells and Vero cells infected with either Simkania negevensis Z^T or Chlamydia trachmatis using the SV Total RNA Isolation System. The isolated RNA was used in RT-PCR amplifications to determine the size of the unspliced intron form of the 23S rRNA to differentiate between a group I intron where the rRNA intron is spliced with religation and an intervening segment where the rRNA is fragmented to functionally remove the intervening segments. The isolated RNAs and Promega's RNA Markers were separated by electrophoresis to judge RNA integrity. (2302)

Notes: The authors used the Tfx™-50 Reagent to transfect bovine aortic endothelial cells. They also used the pGEM^®-T Easy Vector System to clone PCR products. (1482)

Notes: Authors use the Wizard^® Genomic DNA Purification Kit to isolate DNA from newborn mice livers. They performed nested PCR on V(H)-D-J(H) genes and cloned these into the pGEM^®-T Vector and sequenced the rearrangements using the fmol^® DNA Cycle Sequencing System. (0908)
