Plasmid Purification
- Product: ZR Plasmid Miniprep ™-Classic
- Company: Zymo Research
- Lot: ZRC182892
- Catalog No: D4016
Changes to the protocol included an extra step to dry the column before elution and the use of water for elution instead of elution buffer. For elution of large plasmids we used prewarmed water.
Gel Extraction
- Product: ZymocleanTM Gel DNA Recovery Kit
- Company: Zymo Research
- Lot: ZRC183055
- Catalog No: D4002
Changes to the protocol included an extra step to dry the column before elution and the use of water for elution instead of elution buffer. For elution of large plasmids we used prewarmed water.
Lactate Detection Kit
- Product: L-Lactic Acid
- Company: Megazyme
- Lot:
- Catalog No:
Changes to the protocol included an extra step to dry the column before elution and the use of water for elution instead of elution buffer. For elution of large plasmids we used prewarmed water.
The detection of lactate using this kit relies on two enzymatic reactions. In the first, L-lactate and NAD&sup+; were converted into pyruvate and NADH+H&sup+; by L-lactate dehydrogenase. In the coupled reaction, pyruvate is used with D-glutamate by the D-glutamate-pyruvate transaminase to have the equilibrium of the first reaction in favour of the pyruvate. The concentration of NADH is finally measured as the optical density at 340 nm (OD340).
Bacterial strains and Mammalian Cell Lines
TOP10
The bacterial strain we used as a base for all our transformations was TOP10.
A list of all strains we generated in the course of our project can be found here (link).
Jurkat Cells
Immortalized human T lymphocyte cell line. We used this cell line as a model line for cancer cells with elevated lactate production and TRAIL susceptibility (papers).
HL60
Cell line derived from acute myeloid leukemia. We used this cell line as a model line for cancer cells with elevated lactate production and TRAIL susceptibility (papers).
3T3
Murine fibroblast cell line. We used this cell line as a model line for healthy cells which are restistant to TRAIL and produce normal levels of lactate.
SK-BR-3
HER2-positive breast cancer cell line. We used this cell line to validate the chimeric receptors of the Stockholm iGEM team.
