September 11thThe female-virgin flies (yw) and male flies (yw) were again collected and separately kept at 25℃.
September 12thTNFAIP3 The transfected cells were examined under the confocal lazer microscope (Olympus, Fv10i) Results: about 20 % cells were observed to be EGFP-positive, indicating that the P-element plasmid, pUAS-EGFP-TNFAIP3 is functional in Drosophila cells. We therefore decided to microinject this DNA into Drosophila embryos to establish transgenic flies. 1-2-7 Purification of the candidate pSB1C3-UAS-EGFP and pSB1C3-UAS-LacZ DNAs We purified the candidate pSB1C3-UAS-EGFP and pSB1C3-UAS-LacZ DNAs by QIA prep Spin Miniprep Kit from E. coli cultured in LB medium for 16 hours (9/11). 1-1-47 Digestion of pSB1C3-UAS DNA by Spe1 We incubated BglⅡ-digested pSB1C3-UAS (9/11) DNA with SpeⅠfor 2 hours. The reaction conditions are shown below. The female-virgin flies (yw) and male flies (yw) were again collected and separately kept at 25℃. Composition
The digested DNA were applied to agarose gel electrophoresis. We isolated DNA from the gel by using QIA quick Gel Extraction Kit. Photo of Agarose gel.

EcoRⅠand SpeⅠ
BglⅡ
Then the digested samples were applied to Agarose gel electrophoresis in the order of no cut sample, EcoRⅠ/SpeⅠ-digested sample and BglⅡ-digested sample. Result of electrophoresis 
Results: No insert DNA was detected. Therefore we were not successful for these cloning. 1-1-51, 2-1-37 and 2-2-9. Ligation Ligation of DNA fragments carrying GAL4 to pSB1C3 DNA was carried out for 2 hours at 16℃ in the reaction described below. Composition

1-1-52, 2-1-38 and 2-2-10 Transformation of E. coli by Ligation products We did transformation of E. coli Xl-1 blue with each of ligation products. Finally, we spread them on the LB Chloramphenicol(+) plate and cultured at 37℃ for 16 hours. September 14thThe adult male and virgin female flies from microinjected embryos were mated with yw virgin female flies and yw male flies, respectively. Mated flies were transferred to the new food vials in every three days to lay eggs as much as possible. The female-virgin flies (yw) and male flies (yw) were again collected and separately kept at 25℃. 1-1-53 and 2-1-39 Isolating a single colony of E. coli transformed with Ligation products We picked up three colonies of E. coli carrying the candidate pSB1C3-G4L4, two from the candidate pSB1C3-UAS-EGFP and three from the candidate pSB1C3-UAS-LacZ (made on 9/13), and cultured in 2.5mL LB Chloramphenicol(+) liquid medium at 37℃ for 16 hours. 1-1-54 and 2-2-11 Purification of the candidate pSB1C3-UAS-LacZ and pSB1C3-HS-GAL4 DNA The pSB1C3-UAS-LacZ DNA and pSB1C3-HS-G4L4 DNA was purified from E. coli (cultivated on 9/12) by QIA prep Spin Miniprep Kit. 1-1-55 and 2-2-12 Cut check of the candidate pSB1C3-UAS-LacZ, pSB1C3-UAS-EGFP, and pSB1C3-HS-GAL4 DNA These candidate pSB1C3-UAS-EGFP DNA (prepared on 9/12), pSB1C3-UAS-LacZ DNA (prepared on 9/12), pSB1C3-UAS-LacZ DNA (prepared on 9/14) and pSB1C3-HS-G4L4 DNA (prepared on 9/14)
