Figure 1. Confocal images at 400x magnification of HeLa cells to locate GFP activity. HeLa cells were (A) tagged with Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) (B) labeled with GFP and 14.13 µl Dexamethasone (C) tagged with GFP fused to the glucocorticoid binding domain (GBD) and (D) the subcellular localization of GFP-GBD in the presence of 14.13 µl Dexamethasone.

HeLa cells were transfected with a vector plasmid containing either GFP (A,B) or GFP-GBD (B,C). Following incubation for two days in 1 ml of complete media, the cells containing 0.45 ml of transfection complexes were washed with 1 ml HBSS to remove any

Figures (B) and (D) included 14.13 µl of dexamethasone whereas figure (C) was without dexamethasone.
Results
A plasmid vector pRK5 has been transfected into HeLa cells. 125 ng of 210 µg/ml pRK5-GFP DNA and 100 µg/ml pRK5-GBD-GFP DNA were added to the Buffer EC in different wells at the same ratio, 0.595 µl and 1.25 µl, respectively. Two of the wells contained GFP DNA whereas the other two wells contained GFP-GBD DNA. All four of the wells were condensed with 1 µl of an

    To grow the bacterial culture, use 10 ml of liquid LB growth media for incubation. 500 ml of the bacterial culture is allowed to grow overnight at 37°C. It is later shaken vigorously to increase the OD600 to 0.5, which means that time equals zero. At time zero, 1 mL of the culture is transferred into a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube and centrifuged for 5-10 minutes to obtain a pellet. The supernatant should be discarded. The centrifuge with the bacterial pellet is labeled “G0” and stored at -20°C. The culture is induced with 1 Mm of IPTG and allowed to keep growing. After 3 hours past induction, 1 mL of the culture is pelleted into a different 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, and the bacterial pellet is labeled “G3.” The centrifuge with G0 bacterial strain needs 15 mL of the strain to be collected and to be pelleted into the centrifuge tube. The last pellet is labeled “G3-15 mL.” Finally, both the G3 and G3-15 mL are to be stored at -20°C.…

    There are 2 ways that the fomites can be transmitted. These include direct and indirect transmission. Direct transmission occurs when there is physical contact between an infected person and a susceptible person. Indirect contact transmission occurs when there is no direct human-to-human contact. Contact occurs from a reservoir to contaminated surfaces or objects, or to vectors such as insects or animals. Direct contact infections spread when microorganisms pass from the infected person to the healthy person via direct physical contact with blood or body fluids. Examples of direct contact are touching, kissing, sexual contact, contact with oral secretions, or contact with body lesions. Indirect contact infections spread when an infected person…

    1. Some potatoes increased in mass while others decreased due to osmosis. Potatoes that had a higher concentration increased in mass because water passed through the membrane into the potato in an effort to dilute it. Potatoes that had a lower concentration than the solution decreased in mass because water flowed through the membrane into the solution trying to dilute the solution. The water moves to the higher concentration to dilute it/maintain homeostasis, increasing or decreasing mass depending on whether it goes in or out.…

    For many decades, HeLa cells have helped scientists develop many achievements in vaccination, mapping chromosomes, and even cloning. HeLa derived from the first two letters of the first and last name of Henrietta Lacks. These cells were taken from her in the 1950’s without her or her family’s knowledge. Only twenty years after her death did they discover its’ existence.…

    Protein-DNA complexes were formed using 1 µg of plasmid pTriEx-1.1 Hygro at different pDNA: protein molar ratios (1:100, 1:200, 1:500, 1:1000, 1:2000, 1:8000) during 10 minutes. The increasing molar ratios were assessed by gel retardation assay on a 0.8% agarose gel and visualized by ethidium bromide staining. For further experiments, all samples were prepared in the 1:8000 pDNA:protein molar ratio with 1…

    This DNA-CaCl2 mixture (5µg DNA) was incubated at Room Temperature for 5 minutes. Afterwards, the CaCl2-DNA solution was added drop wise to 250μl of 2X HBS (50 mM HEPES and 1.5 mM Na2HPO4, 280 mM NaCl and 20 mM KCl, adjusted to pH 7.12) and the solution was incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes to form a homogeneous calcium phosphate -DNA precipitate. Before transfection, the DNA-Ca2+ - phosphate solution was mixed and added to HEK- 293 cells by dropping slowly. The plate was swirled to distribute the precipitate equally over the…

    This study’s objectives are first to verify the direct proportionality of acceleration and net force if the mass of the body is constant and then to verify the inverse proportionality of acceleration and mass if the net force is constant. With the use of, mainly, the dynamics cart and the weight hanger, certain variables such as the mass on the cart and the mass on the hanger which is the net force were manipulated, controlled or changed in order to illustrate Newton’s second law of motion. However, through the process, some sources of error were expected that makes the results not a hundred percent accurate.…

    The correct insert size was determined by Colony PCR. Plasmids from clones containing the correct-sized inserts were isolated and the MCS was sequenced using both a forward and a reverse primer (HT7 For and Flexi R). During cloning an extra GTT, which encodes for a valine residue in the proteins' primary structures, was inserted immediately prior to each stop codon. As a universal stop codon TAA was used, replacing other stop codons if present. This was mainly done to gain maximum flexibility during cloning as the Flexi vector system enables the direct transfer to other vectors with different tags. A GTT is mandatory to later transfer the gene of interest to a vector encoding a C-terminal tag.…
