Protocol 24729: Standard PCR Assay - Tg(SNCA)129Mjff
Version 2.2

Notes

This assay will NOT distinguish hemizygous from homozygous transgenic animals.

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 = 215 bp

Internal positive control = 324 bp

 

IPC                 Tm = 82      Area = 33.5

Transgene    Tm = 79.5   Area = 50   (WT*  Tm = 83   Area = 28.5

*MCA WT with Tg assay @TD50EG but expect minimal -to-no WT @TD60EG  (TD60EG  MCA plate was not exported).  SC 6-28-12

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.
