NF-κB was then induced by the addition of TNF-&alpha (2.5µM) for 10 hours, and left uninduced as a control. The plate was then scanned by TECAN, an automated fluorescence plate reader. TECAN is very imprecise on eukaryotic cells, and the arbitrary fluorescence we meausred is not proportional to [http://2009.igem.org/Team:Heidelberg/Project_Measurement REU] or another precise measure of mammalian promoter activity, but it can serve as a rough indicator of promoter induction. The result (Fig. 1) shows that most clones appear not to be induced by NF-κB, whereas others are induced at varying levels of strength. We picked clone 31 for submission to the registry and detailed characterization.

Design Notes

[http://2009.igem.org/Team:Heidelberg/Project_Synthetic_promoters RA-PCR] (Fig. 2) was conducted with Oligos containing a NF-κB binding site, plus a small number of "general activators" (NF-Y, Sp1, Ap1, CREB) (for exact amount of Oligos used, see table below). 33 clones were picked, miniprepped and transfected. NF-κB was then induced by the addition of TNF-&alpha (2.5µM) for 10 hours, and left uninduced as a control. The plate was then scanned by TECAN, an automated fluorescence plate reader. TECAN is very imprecise on eukaryotic cells, and the arbitrary fluorescence we meausred is not proportional to [http://2009.igem.org/Team:Heidelberg/Project_Measurement REU] or another precise measure of mammalian promoter activity, but it can serve as a rough indicator of promoter induction. The result (Fig. 1) shows that most clones appear not to be induced by NF-κB, whereas others are induced at varying levels of strength. We picked clone 31 for submission to the registry and detailed characterization.
