Protocol 25379: Standard PCR Assay - Tg(TAU*P301S)#Elan
Version 2.2

Notes

This assay will NOT distinguish hemizygous from homozygous transgenic animals.

Validation/LC Conversion data attached to rec 167015

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

Transgene = ~254 bp

Internal positive control = 324 bp

 

Transgene      Tm = 88   Area = 22

IPC                   Tm = 82   Area =40

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.
