Week 2

Event:  Lab day 1

Agenda: Laboratory safety training, use of pipette gun, allocation of reagents, manipulation and use of precision instruments, allocation of LB medium, PCR manipulation and use, shaken plasmid, agarose gel electrophoresis.

Purpose: Amplified NS3-Hel and NS3-ZIKA genes together with pET28a and constructed the plasmids by instrumentation.

Event: Lab day 2

Agenda: Plasmid extraction and concentration determination, DNA tool enzyme digestion, ligand, transformation of DH5α cells, plate coating screening.

Purpose: After enzyme digestion, the target fragment of NS3-Hel/NS3-ZIKA was obtained by PCR, and the recombinant plasmid was obtained by enzyme-linking.

Event: Lab day 3-4

Agenda: The transformers were identified by PCR, the monoclonal seed solution was selected, and the plasmids pET28a-NS3hel and ET28a-NS3-ZIKA were extracted and transformed into BL21(DE3).

Purpose: Prove that the plasmid solution contain NS3-Hel and NS3-ZIKA by comparing the magnitude of the stripes, and transfer the DNA recombinant plasmid into BL21(DE3).

Week 3

Event: Lab day 5

Agenda: Isolation of single bacteria, PCR identification of inverters, agarose gel electrophoresis verification of target bands, isolation of monoclonal culture seed solution, preparation of protein purification buffer.

Purpose: The purpose of running a gel and performing PCR validation after amplification is to verify the presence of target bands for NS3-Hel and NS3-ZIKA, and to inoculate and validate the correct colonies, and to perform pre-culture of the bacterial suspension for subsequent experiments.

Event:  Lab day 6-7

Agenda: Expanded culture seed solution, IPTG induced expression, SDS-PAGE protein glue preparation.

Purpose: To trigger the expression of the target gene or protein in the transformed cells.

Event: Lab day 8-9

Agenda: Ultrasonic crushing, nickel column affinity purified protein, SDS-PAGE protein electrophoresis.

Purpose: Filter or purify the target protein from other protein.

Event: Lab day 10-11

Agenda: SDS-PAGE protein electrophoresis, protein glue staining and decolorization

Purpose: Validation protein expression.

Week 4

Event: Lab day 12-13

Agenda: Functional test - enzyme marker test

Purpose: Test the function.

Week 5

Event: Lab day 15

Agenda: Functional test II - enzyme marker test

Purpose: Duplicate the function test by adding controls.

Event:  Lab day 16

Agenda: WIKI&PARTS key points interpretation and task division, organization of writing WIKI, organization of uploading PARTS
