        DNA Preparation for Microinjection or Electroporation

        This protocol was developed by Jan Parker-Thornburg at The Ohio State Universtiy


        1)Run the DNA digest on an agarose gel:

        2) Purifiying the DNA fragment.
        • Load about 200-300µg of the gel cut onto a GeneClean spin column(BIO 101'S GeneClean Spinkit)--usually a fragment will require 6-8 columns to take care of all the gel.
        • Prior to adding the fragment-laden gel pieces, add 500µl of glassmilk.
        • Once the gel is in the tube, melt at 55o C for 5 min (flicking the tube at least every 1 and 1/2 minutes).
        • Then, spin out the solution for 30", wash 2X with NEW wash, spinning 30" each time, dry the filter by spinning for 1'.
        • Elute the fragment by using 10-20µl of elution buffer, incubating at 37o C for 5 min (flick the tube at least 2X in that period), spinning down, and then repeating to get any remaining DNA.
        • Precipitate the DNA overnight, using 3MTris pH 7.4 or ammonium acetate as the salt. If 3M Tris is used, incubate overnight at -20o C. If ammonium acetate is used, incubate overnight at room temp.
        • Then, do 2 X 70% EtOH washes.
        • Resuspend in whatever volume looks like is appropriate.
        You can dialyze overnight against 2 liters of injection buffer at this point, but it's really not necessary.

        This method of prepping fragments is proving to be a really reliable and clean method. I have used it on pieces as large as 18 kB (that't the reason I went to spin columns in the first place). The spin columns are simply a GeneClean kit with a filter to catch any residual glass beads. The literature that they send says that the columns are good for DNA from .2-200kB.

        Pronuclear Injections:

        Egg Production for injections
        To obtain a large quantitiy (>250) of eggs for injection, sexually immature FVB/N females (4-5 weeks of age) are superovulated by using consecutive PMS and HCG hormone injections. Females are mated to stud males immediately following the HCG injection.

        Harvesting the eggs
        Eggs are harvested the next day from the ampulla of the oviduct of the mated females. Eggs are treated with hyaluronidase to remove nurse cells, and are then washed through several dishes of M2 media. Fertilized eggs are then stored in M16 media at 37o C and in 5% CO2 until injection.

        Injecting the eggs
        30-50 eggs are removed from the incubator at a time for injection. Each egg is individually injected with the DNA fragment of the day under high magnification. When each egg in that group has been injected, all the eggs are returned to the incubator. This procedure is repeated until all eggs have been injected. At the end of the injection period, eggs which have not survived injection are removed from each group.

        Implanting the eggs
        Injected eggs are then implanted in groups of 10-15 bilaterally into the oviduct of pseudopregnant females (females which have been mated to vasectomized males). The animals are allowed to recover from anaesthesia on a warming plate, and then returned to the animal room. They are kept under sterile conditions throughout their pregnancy.

        Morula Aggregation:
        This technique has been beautifully described by
        Andras Nagy (one of the developers of the technique) in his web page. Click on his name to go there.

        Tail DNA Preps for Genomic Southerns

        This protocol was developed by Arun Subramaniam from Proctor and Gamble

        Digestion of the tail clip:


        Restriction digests of genomic DNA:
        • -use 10µg of DNA in a total volume of 300µl.
        • -allow water, buffer and DNA to sit together 10-15 minutes at 37o C prior to adding enzyme.
        • -digest the DNA > 7 hours
        • -precipitate the DNA with 2 volumes of EtOH (best to do overnight)
        • -spin, then wash with 70% EtOH
        • -dry, then resuspend in 18µl of water
        • -heat the DNA at 65o C for about 10' prior to loading on the gel
        • -add 2µl of gel loading dye
        • -run the gel slowly (about 4V/cm)

        Obtaining a University Approved Animal Protocol
        Prior to performing any transgenic work, we require the investigator to have an IACUC approved animal protocol. Information regarding the procedures for obtaining the protocol can be accessed using the
        ULAR web page--just click on the highlighted ULAR.
