35delG Mutation Detection by Bsl1 Enzyme Digestion Do PCR using the special primers for the detection of the 35delG mutation Forward: GGT GAG GTT GTGTAA GAG TTG G Reverse: CTG GTG GAG TGT TTG TTC CCA C PCR Protocol Per 25 l Reaction for one sample PCRMix 15 l 25M Primer F 1 l 25M Primer R 1 l Sample DNA 1 l1 D.D. H2O 12 l We multiply each portion by the number of samples that we are doing +1 ( for control). Usualy 1l DNA is sufficient. If the reaction doesn’t work, try to change DNA quantity to reach optimal concentration (100-300ng per reaction). Change water amount respectively. 1 PCR Program 94 0C 3 minutes 94 0C 1min 60 0C 1min 72 0C 1min 72 0C 5 Minutes END 35 times Enzymatic digestion with Bsl1 Bsl1: 10X Buffers 3: D.D.
