Re-PCR of DelH fragment F1a & F1b

Result

Expected band: 5 Kb.

Fig.7.1 Gel of Re-PCR of DelH-F1a and DelH-F1b (loaded 20 µL)
l1 2 log ladder, l2F1a, l3 F1b
no specific band at expected 5 Kb

There are no specific bands at 5 Kb.

=> We therefore failed to reamplify DelH F1a and F1b from the PCR product.
=> Additionally, in the elctroporated colonies, there is no fragment F1a and F1b.
=> We need to design new forward primers for DelH F1a & F1b.

Because the annealing temperature of DelH_f1_fw_long is 77,4°C and of the primer DelH_EcoRI_rev is 69,6°C, a 2-step PCR was performed.

l1 2 log ladder, l2F1a, l3 F1a
l2 DelH-1a fragment shows a specific band ~ 5 Kb

There is a specific band at 5 Kb for DN11. The other primers show only unspecific products.

=>The DN11 primer will be used. Using PCR conditions F1a.W7.A and short2 primer, the PCR was repeated to produce more product.
