lab work

CCMV Bricking:

Monday:

  • Check agar plates for colonies
  • Grow colonies in LB medium + kanamycin, checked optical density

Colonies:

  1. CCMV-1
  2. CCMV-2
  3. d26-CCMV-1
  4. d26-CCMV-2
  5. d26-CCMV-3
  • overnight in shaker 37 degree Celcius

The monday morning of this week started with a bit of a shock: our plates with our transformed E.coli we're almost completely empty. Luckely there was at least one colony on both of the plates with transformed E.coli containing bricks. We put them in Greiner tubes with LB-medium and a antibiotic and after a few hours checked their optical density. In the afternoon we prepared the samples for a PCR to validate the bricks.


Tuesday:

  • Checked Greiner tubes

Colonies:

  1. CCMV-1: growth
  2. CCMV-2: no growth
  3. d26-CCMV-1: growth
  4. d26-CCMV-2: growth
  5. d26-CCMV-3: growth
  • Mini prep the 4 remaining samples

CCMV test protocol:

Monday:

  • Followed dialysis protocol
  • Change: instead of sonicator for cell lysis, French press was used

We've also made two samples of wt CCMV VLP ready for dialysis. There is only one modification applied in the protocol, instead of using the horrible sonicator, we used the French press, which is a great apparatus and easy to use. In the late afternoon we started with the dialysis.
