  • Miniprepped YebF+GMCSF and PelB leader sequence.
  • Flow cytometry indicated that there was no GFP
  • Transformed J23100 yet no plate growth

Week 8

  • Ordered Antigen primers
  • Ligation and transformation of PelB+GMCSF+pSB1C3/4K5

  • Transformed I13522 into N10B on LB Amp

August: Week 11

  • Grew up six cultures of ligations
  • Miniprepped the PSB1c3 backbone and grew up additional backbone in cultures
  • Transformed the GFP and GMCSF in the backbone
  • Ran LLO pcr on gel and all had correct band lengths

September: Week 15

  • Made ligations of FLU+1c3, MelA+1c3, Flu+J04..., MelA+J04...
  • Made liquid cultures of non-red colonies from FLU+1c3, MelA+1c3, Flu+J04..., MelA+J04 transformation
