TL;DR: It is suggested that for further lymphoma studies based on the real-time RT-PCR quantification of gene expression, that RNA input in each reaction be equalized between the specimens by spectrophotometric OD260 measurements.

TL;DR: Using the new high resolution tandem time of flight MALDI‐(TOF/TOF) mass spectrometer, examples of successful identification and characterization of bovine heart proteins separated by two‐dimensional electrophoresis and blotted onto polyvinylidene difluoride membrane are described.
Abstract: Although peptide mass fingerprinting is currently the method of choice to identify proteins, the number of proteins available in databases is increasing constantly, and hence, the advantage of having sequence data on a selected peptide, in order to increase the effectiveness of database searching, is more crucial. Until recently, the ability to identify proteins based on the peptide sequence was essentially limited to the use of electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (MS) methods. The recent development of new instruments with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) sources and true tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) capabilities creates the capacity to obtain high quality tandem mass spectra of peptides. In this work, using the new high resolution tandem time of flight MALDI-(TOF/TOF) mass spectrometer from Applied Biosystems, examples of successful identification and characterization of bovine heart proteins (SWISS-PROT entries: P02192, Q9XSC6, P13620) separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis and blotted onto polyvinylidene difluoride membrane are described. Tryptic protein digests were analyzed by MALDI-TOF to identify peptide masses afterward used for MS/MS. Subsequent high energy MALDI-TOF/TOF collision-induced dissociation spectra were recorded on selected ions. All data, both MS and MS/MS, were recorded on the same instrument. Tandem mass spectra were submitted to database searching using MS-Tag or were manually de novo sequenced. An interesting modification of a tryptophan residue, a "double oxidation", came to light during these analyses.

14 Nov 2003TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present methods and compositions involving the production or generation of siRNA mixtures or pools capable of triggering RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) in a cell.
Abstract: The present invention concerns methods and compositions involving the production or generation of siRNA mixtures or pools capable of triggering RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) in a cell. Compositions of the invention include kits that include reagents for producing or generating siRNA pools. The present invention further concerns methods using polypeptides with RNase III activity for generating siRNA mixtures or pools that effect RNAi, including the generation of a number of RNA molecules to the same target gene.

TL;DR: The precision of the 310 capillary electrophoresis system, coupled with software developed for automated genotyping of alleles based on the use of an allelie ladder, allows for accurate genotypesing of STR loci.
Abstract: Automated fluorescence analysis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified short tandem repeat (STR) systems by capillary electrophoresis (CE) is becoming an established tool both in forensic casework and in the implementation of both state and national convicted offender DNA databases. A new capillary electrophoresis instrument, the ABI Prism 310 Genetic Analyzer, along with the Performance Optimized Polymer 4 (POP-4) provides an automated and precise method for simultaneously analyzing ten flourescently labeled STR loci from a single PCR amplification kit, which provides a power of discrimination of approximately one in five billion from a single PCR amplification. Data are presented on sizing precision, sizing accuracy, and resolution for the STR loci in the AmpFlSTR Profiler™ kit. Sizing accuracy is highly dependent on the electrophoresis system, and therefore the reporting of alleles based on the nucleotide size obtained from an electrophoresis system is not recommended for forensic work. The precision of the 310 capillary electrophoresis system, coupled with software developed for automated genotyping of alleles based on the use of an allelie ladder, allows for accurate genotyping of STR loci. Sizing precision of ⩽ 0.16 nucleotide standard deviation was obtained with this system, thus allowing for accurate genotyping of length variants that differ in length by a single nucleotide.
