Protocol 19783: Standard PCR Assay - Tg(HLA-A/H2-D)2Enge
Version 1.0

Notes

The genotyping protocol(s) presented here have been optimized for reagents and conditions used by The Jackson Laboratory (JAX). To genotype animals, JAX recommends researchers validate the assay independently upon receipt of animals into their facility. Reaction cycling temperature and times may require additional optimization based on the specific genotyping reagents used.

Expected Results

Mutant = 356 bp
Heterozygote = 283 bp and 356 bp
Wild type = 283 bp

This assay is able to distinguish tg/o from tg/tg.  Integration site is known to be on mChr 12.

JAX uses a very high speed Taq (~1000 bp/sec), use cycling times recommended for your reagents.
JAX uses a 'touchdown' cycling protocol and therefore has not calculated the optimal annealing temperature for each set of primers.
