'''I) Purpose'''
+
===5/3/13===
-
: To isolate the T7 minor capsid protein
+
- Performed agar test, focusing primarily on ×8
-
'''II) Expected Outcome'''
+
: [[5.3 T7 phage selection method test]]
-
: We expect that we will have isolated the T7 minor capsid protein.  This can be visualized by gel electrophoresis and there should be one band that matches the number of base pairs in the minor capsid protein.
+
- Processed phage amplification
-
'''III) Reagents Used'''
+
: [[5.3 T7 phage amplification/purification]]
-
ADD
+
===5/4/13===
-
'''IV) Procedure'''
+
- Performed dilution series using stock 5.3 (-1 through -11)
-
1)  Isolating DNA
+
- Started two 5mL overnights of BL21
-
- Put 5 ul of phage stock and 45 ul of ddH20 in one PCR tube and 10 ul of phage stock and 40 ul of ddH20 in another PCR tube.
+
===5/5/13===
-
- Boil for 12 minutes in the PCR machine.
+
- Spot test using stock 5.3 and its dilution series (from 5.4)
-
- Remove the tubes from the PCR machine and shake the tube.  Centrifuge it for 1 minutes at top speed.
+
: [[5.3 T7 phage amplification/purification]]
-
- Keep on ice.  DNA should be in the supernatant.
+
- Started liquid culture for purification team (at around noon)
-
2) PCR
+
: 1mL of BL21 overnight + 4mL of LB + 100μL -2 phage (received stock)
-
- To a centrifuge tube, add
+
- Started 5.5 amplification from a plaque test
-
: 120 ul ddH20
+
 
-
: 15 ul 10X TAQ Buffer
+
: [[5.5 Amplification from a plaque test]]

-
: 3 ul of reverse primer
+
 
-
- Mix well
+
- Continued [[5.3 T7 phage amplification/purification]]

 +
- We performed T7 Mutagen Concentration Test
-
- Label 3 PCR tubes "C" (Control), "5" (5 ul of phage stock), and "10" (10 ul of phage stock).
+
: [[5.20 Mutagen Concentration Experiment]]
-
- Add 2 ul of template DNA from the supernatant of step 1 into their respective tubes (nothing in the control tube).
+
- We performed T7 Minor Capsid Protein PCR
 +
: [[5.20 T7 Minor Capsid Protein PCR]]
-
- Add 1.5 ul of TAQ Polymerase into the centrifuge tube (master mix).
+
===5/21/13===
-
- Pipette 48 ul of master mix into each PCR tube.
+
XL
-
- Run 35 cycles with temperatures of 95 C, 50 C, and 72 C with an extension time of 1.5 minutes.
+
- started two 5mL E coli BL21 overnight at around 7:00pm
-
- Leave overnight at 4 C.
 
-
- Remove and place in the freezer.
+
===5/22/13===
 +
- Continued with [[5.20 Mutagen Concentration Experiment|T7 Mutagen Concentration Test]]
 +
- Continued with [[5.20 T7 Minor Capsid Protein PCR|T7 Minor Capsid Protein PCR ]] by running an agarose gel to confirm that we got the desired PCR product.
