Project description:Transcriptional profiling of an El Tor biotype crp mutant The virulent V. cholerae El Tor Ogawa strain C7258 (Peru isolate 1991) and an isogenic deletion mutant (WL7258) lacking DNA sequences encoding the cAMP receptor protein were grown in LB medium to optical density at 600 nm of 1.5. The cultures were chilled in ice, cells quickly collected by centrifugation and total RNA imediately extracted. RNAwas extracted and purified using the Trizol plus RNA purification system (Invitrogen) followed RNEasy miniElute cleanup (Qiagen). RNA samples were conserved at - 80 C and used within a week. Keywords: Genetic modification
Project description:RNA microarrays technology was used to compare hESC-derived cell populations to undifferentiated hESC and to human EL cell populations. Microarrays confirmed the hematoendothelial, endothelial and hematopoietic identity of hPSC-derived CD144+-EBs, BCs and ECs, respectively, and the similarities between hESC-derived cell populations and human EL equivalent populations.
