Course objectives
Safety of work in molecular biotechnical laboratory. Word with GMO. Cultivation of bacterial cells E. coli carrying recombinant and nonrecombinant plasmid pUC19 DNA. Microisolation of plasmid DNA and recombinant plasmid DNA estimation of their lenghts and the lenght of insert.Transfer of reombinant and nonrecombinant plasmid DNA into bacterial cells E. coli JM109. Plating and selection of transformants. Preparation of DNA probe labelled with digoxigenine, performance of DNA/DNA hybridization (dot blot and Southern blot) and immunological detection of hybridization products. Evaluation of results. The practical course is supplemented by course Bi7430.
At the end of this course, each student should be able to known some procedures of molecular biotechnology. There are included methods of microisolation of plasmid DNA, estimation of insert length,, transformation of plastid DNA into bacterial cells and selection of transformants. In the next part of the course students will prepare DNA probe and performe DNA/DNA hybridisation including imunological detection of hybridisation product.
