چکیده

mouse genotyping by the three-primer multiple PCR. However, both of the smaller PCR products of 1068 (specific for the wild-type allele of mGluR4) and 1170 bp (specific for the mGluR4 transgene) were visible. Thus, all three allele combinations were clearly distinguishable on agarose gels stained with ethidium bromide. DNA from wildtype mice give a single smaller band (1068 bp; see Figure 2B, lanes 4, 5, 6 and 10). All transgenic homozygous mice showed the 1170-bp product (Figure 2B, lanes 2 and 9), and the heterozygous mice showed both PCR products (Figure 2B, lanes 1, 3 and 8). The results of the three-primer multiple PCR genotyping of mGluR4 mutant mice were confirmed by Southern blot and immunoblot analysis (data not shown). The results presented here confirm that multiple primer PCR can be applied to the genotyping of transgenic mice. The three-primer protocol outlined above increases the reliability of a genotyping screen because, unlike conventional two-primer PCR, threeprimer PCR will give a PCR product regardless of the genotype. Our results indicate that three-primer multiple PCR provides a very useful alternative for genotyping transgenic mouse and ES cells lines.

In Vitro Evaluation of Protective Effect of Rutin on Acrylamide-Induced Cellular Senescence in NIH3T3 Cells

Background: Aging is one of the important factors in the development of age-related diseases. Acrylamide can be produced during carbohydrate-rich foods prepared at high temperatures. Recently, studies showed that acrylamide can induce cellular senescence. On the other hand, Rutin as a natural flavonoid, has a potent antioxidant activity. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the ptotective ef...

Functional Investigation of the Novel BRCA1variant (Glu1661Gly) byComputationalTools andYeastTranscription Activation Assay

Introduction: Mutations in the BRCA1 gene are major risk factors for breast and ovarian cancers. However, the relationship between some BRCA1 mutations and cancer risk remains largely unknown. Cancer risk predictions could be improved by evaluation of the impairment degree in the BRCA1 functions due to a specific mutation. This study aimed to assess the functional effect of a novel variant (Glu...

Highly sensitive microplate β-galactosidase assay for yeast two-hybrid systems

The yeast two-hybrid system is a powerful tool to monitor protein-protein interactions. It relies on the expression of hybrid proteins in the yeast nucleus and the activation of reporter genes when a hybrid transcription factor (e.g., Gal4) is reconstituted via two interacting proteins (1). The method has been used at the genome level in organisms ranging from viruses to plants to assess protei...

In this study, immobilization of partially purified almond (Amygdalus communis) β-galactosidase on Con A layered calcium alginate-cellulose beads was investigated. Immobilized β-galactosidase retained 72% of theinitial activity after crosslinking by glutaraldehyde. Both soluble and immobilized enzyme exhibited the samepH and temperature optima at pH 5.5 and 50ºC, respectively. Howev...
