<br>
 +
Ligation product prepared on 9/9 (UAS and pSB1C3) gave us some colonies and negative control sample gave us no colony. We therefore picked up four independent colonies and cultured them in 2.5mL LB Chloramphenicol (+) medium at 37℃ for 16 hours.

 Total  7.5uL 


8. 7 ligation products were transformed into E. coli XL-1 Blue and spread on the LB Chloramphenicol(+) plate and incubated at 37℃ for 16 hours.

September 10th


At 20 min after removing the medium, 25 uL of serum free medium containing the 1 uL of siLentfect and 200 ng each of pAct5C-GAL4 DNA and pUAS-EGFP-TNFAIP3 DNA was added to the well. At 4 hours after transfection, the transfection medium was removed and the Schneider’s Drosophila medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum was added to each well. The cells were incubated for 48 hours at 25 ℃.

1. Single colony isolation of ligationproducts
Ligation product prepared on 9/9 (UAS and pSB1C3) gave us some colonies and negative control sample gave us no colony. We therefore picked up four independent colonies and cultured them in 2.5mL LB Chloramphenicol (+) medium at 37℃ for 16 hours.

2. Digestion of HS promoter fragment and Act5C promoter with XbaⅠ and BamHⅠ
DNA fragments carrying HS promoter (prepared on 9/5) and those carrying Act5C promoter (prepared on 9/3) were digested with XbaⅠ and BamHⅠ.
