GENOTYPING THE ENTIRE COLONY OF TRANSGENIC MICE By: Sweta Roy & Whitney Lai Mentor: Dr. Sumanta Goswami Location: Yeshiva University KEY TERMS Primer – a DNA fragment; used to start DNA synthesis Buffer solution - solution that creates a neutral environment by resisting any pH changes Taq Polymerase – DNA polymerase that creates matching nucleotides based from the DNA template Transgenic mice- carries a foreign gene that has been inserted into its genome WAP & MT Whey Acidic Protein- a gene that codes for milk protein in certain mammals. -a Middle T promoter -found on chromosome 11 -found in dog, domestic; pig, domestic; rabbit, European; rat Middle T (MT) – a gene that causes cancer POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a process that amplifies DNA through a series of heating and cooling. Denature, anneal, and elongation are the basic steps in Polymerase Chain Reaction. 1. Denature: The DNA separates into two strands 2. Annealing: Primers are added and forms hydrogen bond with template 3. Elongation – Primers begins the replication process polymerase is activated; as polymerase runs through the strand, the complementary nucleotides are created with the use of dNTPs PURPOSE Goal: To genotype the entire transgenic mice population To identify the mice that has both WAP and Middle-T which are the genes that we desire; to identify mice with Middle T MATERIALS DNA Extraction PCR Preparation o Razor blade Tubes o Lysis buffer Pipettes o Proteinase K 4 μL of DNA of each subject o Iso-amyl alochol 5 μL of water o Tubes 1 μL of primer o Pipettes 10 μL of immomix o Centrifuge PCR machine o NanoDrop Apparatus Box full of ice o Ethanol o Incubator Gel Running o Flask o TAE Buffer o Agarose (tablets) o Microwave o Buffer Chamber o Gel container o Gel slits PROCEDURE OF DNA EXTRACTION 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Add 5 μL water Add 4 μL of DNA (the average) Add 10 μL of Immomix Add 1 μL of primer n uL DNA + n uL Water = 9 uL Spin the tubes in the centrifuge Place the tubes in fisher vortex to make sure it mixes Spin the tubes in centrifuge again Place the tubes in the PCR machine and run the Genotype PCR program Genotype PCR Program 94°C– 7 min (starts the cycle) 95 °C – 15 sec 60 °C – 15 sec 72 °C– 30 sec 72 °C– 7 min Ice – repeats 25x PROCEDURE : RUNNING THE GEL Making a gel 1. In a 500 mL flask, add 1g of agarose ( 2 tablets of agarose) 2. Add 50 mL of 1xTAE buffer to the flask 3. Heat in microwave for less than 1 minute. Watch until bubbles appear 4. Allow the liquid to cool off a bit, about 2-3 minutes or so. 5. Once its no longer boiling hot, add ethidium bromide to a final concentration of .5 μL/mL 6. Pour into gel cast and wait for gel to harden, approximately 10-15 mins 7. Pour TAE buffer in the Buffer Chamber 8. Place the hardened gel that is still in the slot in the Buffer chamber; the buffer should cover the gel slightly DNA Prep 1. To your amplified DNA sample, add loading dye in appropriate volume; add 4 μLof 6x Loading Dye 2. Mix DNA and dye well 3. Add about 10 μL DNA to each well 4. In addition to DNA add 3-4 μL DNA ladder to one of the wells 5. Run the gel at around 100 v for 30-40 minutes 6. Visualize / photograph gel using uv lamp RESULTS: CONCLUSION From our results we can see that tube 11and tube 5 have both middle T and WAP which are the genes we desire. The ones that have WAP and Middle T will grow a tumor within two months Future We are going to finish the experiment and see what results we get. Then we will breed the mice who does not have one of the genes we desire. Try to reduce the WAP population REFERENCE Weinberg, Robert A. Biology of Cancer. New York: Garland Science, 2006. Print.
