This protocol has been used successfully to 15N or 13C/15N label our proteins using our pET1120/BL21(DE3) expression system: Preparing M9 minimal media begins with preparing a 5x stock solution of M9 salts. Generally, M9 salts contain a nitrogen source in the form of NH4Cl. Since we want to add a labeled nitrogen source, our 5x salts are prepared minus NH4Cl. Standard 5 X M9 Minimal Media salts minus nitrogen source For 1L 5xM9 salts: - [Read Expression Protocol in M9 Minimal Media via T7 Promoter]

The yeast, Saccharyomyces cerevisiae, has become an important organism in molecular, biochemical, and genetic analysis. The organism has specific requirements for growth under a variety of conditions. The media, both liquid and solid, simple, define, and complex are describe in this unit. Also included are methods for handling, storing, and shipping stock of yeast. - [Read Media and Culture of Yeast Protocol]

To prepare phage lysates to be used for small or large scale phage DNA preps. This method usually produces lysates with titers of 2-8x10e10 pfu/ml. - [Read Phage Plate Stock Lysates Protocol]
Protocol describes a method for generating isolated plaques from a stock of bacteriophage lambda. Each plaque derives from infection of a single bacterium by a single bacteriophage particle. Because each plaque contains the progeny of a single virus particle, the bacteriophages derived from a single plaque are essentially genetically identical to one another. - [Read Plating Bacteriophage Lambda Protocol]
his protocol provides methods for the preparation of protein samples and for loading them into pulled microinjection pipettes. Stock solutions of proteins are thawed, diluted (if desired), centrifuged at high speed to remove aggregates, and kept on ice until loading. Loading into micropipettes can be done using either a "front-loading" or a "backfilling" procedure. - [Read Preparation and Loading of Protein Samples for Microinjection Protocol]
Protocol describes how to seed plates with E. coli OP50 for C. elegans cultures. Includes: Bacterial Stock Plate Preparation; Bacterial Broth Preparation; Seeding Bacteria Plates for Culturing Worms. - [Read Preparation of Seeded NGM Plates For Worm Food Protocol]
Protocol describes methods to superinfect bacteria carrying a recombinant phagemid with a high-titer stock of an appropriate helper virus and to assay the yield of filamentous virus particles that carry single-stranded copies of the phagemid DNA. The key to success in using phagemids is to prepare a stock of helper virus whose titer is accurately known. - [Read Producing Single-stranded DNA with Phagemid Vectors Protocol]
A Single Stranded Plasmid DNA Isolation Protocol describing the production and isolation of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) using bacteriophagemid-containing bacteria and helper phage. Infection of the host cells with helper phage allows for packaging of ssDNA into bacteriophage. The ssDNA can then be isolated from phage particles.
DNA microarrays are an ordered arrangement of DNA molecules complementary to genes of interest that are "spotted" by robotic equipment onto a glass slide substrate. The expression of genes in cells can be monitored with microarrays by preparing cDNA from the mRNA of cells of interest and measuring the hybridization to the microarray. This protocol describes the labeling of genomic DNA for use as a probe for hybridization to the cDNA spotted on the array.
Tubulin is polymerized into microtubules by incubating tubulin at 37°C with GTP. A nucleation seed is added when the purpose is to assay microtubule elongation. Tubulin can also be polymerized for the purposes of recycling the tubulin or labeling the microtubules with fluorescently labeled tubulin. Based on the protocol by Timothy Mitchison of Harvard University.
A protocol for the selection of Phage Antibodies using Immobilized Antigen. This method describes the selection of antibodies from bacteriophage antibody libraries that recognize a specific antigen. The phage display library of antibody-displaying phage particles is exposed to antigen attached to a solid substrate (Nunc Immuno™ tubes). The phage particles with affinity for antigen bind to the immobilized antigen and are selected from the library of phage expressing antibodies.
This protocol a protocol on how to generate transfected embryonic stem (ES) cell clones. The previous protocol in this series is the Protocol for Electroporation of ES cells. The next protocol in the series is the Protocol on Disaggregation, Expansion, and Freezing of Transfected ES Clones.
