Protocol 26790: Standard PCR Assay - Tg(APOC3)3707Bres
Version 2.2

Notes

This assay will NOT distinguish hemizygous from homozygous transgenic animals.

Internal Positive Control (IPC) band does not typically amplify when transgene is present.
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 = 173 bp
Internal positive control = 197 bp

Separated by gel electrophoresis on a 3.0% agarose gel.

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.
