ABSTRACT:
After transfection, cells were cultured during 24 h in RPMI medium as above mentioned and total RNA was extracted using the mirVana kit (Ambion), which served as template for cDNA synthesis. Gene knockdown was confirmed by semi-quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) using the primers 5prim CATCCTGGATTTCTGGAGGA 3prim forward and 5prim GCTCTTTGAGGCCAGAGTTG 3prim reverse, which allowed amplification of a 253 bp PCR product corresponding to a segment of the Aire mRNA (cDNA). The PCR mix contained 200 uM dNTPs, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 50 mM KCl, 10 mM TRIS-HCl (pH 8.4), 10 uM each primer and 2 U Taq DNA polymerase. The cycling temperature was: 35 x 30 sec each (94oC, 57oC and 72oC).
An anti-HPRT siRNA included in this kit but whose sequence was not furnished was used in parallel to evaluate the efficiency of the gene knockdown assay on 3.10 mTEC cell line (data not shown).
