12 Protocol 2. Place the required tubes fr om the Megaprime system, with the exception of the enzyme, at room temperature to thaw . Leave the enzyme at -15°C to -30°C until required, and return immediately after use.
13 Protocol Component RPN1604/5 RPN1606/7 Labelling 10 µl buffer Unlabelled 4 µl of each – dNTPs omitting those to be used as label Reaction 5 µl – buffer Radiolabelled (dNTP) 5 µl 5 µl (dCTP) Enzyme 2 µl 2 µl 6. Mix gently by pipetting up and down and cap the tube.
14 Protocol 7. Incubate at 37°C for 10 minutes continued. 8. Stop the reaction by the addition of 5 µl of 0.2 M EDT A . For use in a hybridization, denature the labelled DNA by heating to 95–100°C for 5 minutes, then chill on ice. Notes 7. Continued.
15 Protocol 8. Stop the reaction by the addition of 5 µl of 0.2 M EDT A . For use in a hybridization, denature the labelled DNA by heating to 95–100°C for 5 minutes, then chill on ice continued. Notes 8. Continued under the conditions given above is not requir ed with the isotopes 32 P and 33 P.
16 Protocol 3. Place 25 ng (5 µl) of template DNA into a clean microcentrifuge tube and to it add 5 µl of primers. Denature by heating to 95–100°C for 5 minutes in a boiling water bath. 4. Spin briefly in a microcentrifuge to bring the contents to the bottom of the tube.
17 Protocol Reaction 5 µl – buffer Enzyme 2 µl 2 µl Water* as appropriate for a final reaction volume of 50 µl* * When calculating this volume remember to allow for the volume of radioactive nucleotide to be added. 6. Cap the tube and spin for a few seconds in a microcentrifuge to bring the contents to the bottom of the tube.

Notes 9. Continued described in Appendix III. Calculation of probe specific activity is described in Appendix II.
5.3. Use of alternative reaction conditions a. Use of more than one labelled [ α – 32 P]dNTP . Table 1 lists the r esults of a selection of standard reactions, using a variety of input labels under optimum conditions. Figure 3 gives more complete information on their use in Megaprime reactions.
c. Use of [ 32 P]dNTP α S. When using 32 S-labelled radionucleotides the incubation time should be extended to 1 hour at 37°C. d. Labelling at room temperature. If desired, labelling reactions can be carried out at r oom temperature. Maximum incorporation occurs after an incubation time of 45–60 minutes.
22 a. At the specific activity reference date of the labelled nucleotide. b. Formulation code 1 = 370 MBq/ml, 10 mCi/ml in stabilized aqueous solution. c. The probe specific activities were calculated using observed incorporation levels which are similar to those found in figure 3b.

The results shown are the means of a number of experiments in which different nucleotides and combinations of nucleotides were used.
c. The data was generated using the standard labelling pr otocols. If dNTPs <3000 Ci/mmol are to be used, then the desired pr obe specific activity must be multiplied by a conversion factor , before determining the amount of input label.
27 Protocol 1. Fractionate restriction endonuclease digested DNA in a suitable low melting point agarose gel containing 0.5 µg/ml ethidium bromide. Estimate the DNA content of the band by reference to a set of standards of known concentration on another track.
28 Protocol 3. Add water to a ratio of 3 ml per gram of gel and place in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes to melt the gel and denature the DNA. 4. If the DNA is to be used immediately remove the appropriate volume containing 25 ng, add to the primers as indicated in the labelling protocol (page 11, step 3).
29 Protocol 1. Remove a 1 or 2 µl aliquot of the reaction mixture to a clean microcentrifuge tube containing 20 µl of water or 10 mM Tris/HCl pH.8.0.
30 Protocol 5. Place the squares in separate vials with at least 5 ml of scintillation fluid and count . 6. Efficiency of counting will vary, but the percentage incorporation can be used to calculate probe specific activity.
31 Protocol 6. Continued. The amount of radioactivity incorporated during the reaction (B) in dpm. B = total number of µCi added x 2.2x10 4 x % incorporation Thus the specific activity of the labelled DNA is specific activity = B x 10 3 dpm per µg specific activity = A Notes B.
6. Wash the filter discs six times with 2 ml 10% TCA solution and dry the filter discs thoroughly, for example using an infra-red lamp. Avoid overheating and possible charring of the discs. 7. Count the dried filter discs by liquid scintillation or Cerenkov ( 32 P) and count with the samples set aside in step 3.
any liquid from the microcentrif uge tube. Refill with Sephadex and centrifuge as before. Continue until the column is packed to a volume of 1 ml. ™ Sephadex is a trademark of GE Healthcare 4. Add a volume of TE buffer equal to the reaction volume, to the top of the column and centrifuge, as in step 3.
6. Wash the pellet once in 90% ethanol, in the same manner . Dry the pellet . 7. Finally redissolve the DNA pellet in TE buffer for use as a pr obe and for storage. 6.4. Appendix IV . Additional equipment and reagents TE buffer (10 mM Tris/HCl, pH 8.0, 1 mM EDT A) 0.
35 Problem 1. Low signal Possible cause 1. Incomplete denaturation of template DNA 2. Low probe concentration 3. Low probe specific activity Remedy 1. Ensure denaturation protocol is followed. 2. Accurately measure the concentration of template DNA used in the labelling reactions.
36 Problem 2. Non-specific background over whole of filter Possible cause 4. Loss of dNTP during evaporation 1. Presence of unincorporated label Remedy 4. If the dNTP solution has been evaporated to dryness prior to use, handling losses may have occurred.
37 Problem Possible cause 2. Concentrated probe has contacted membrane directly during probe addition 3. Probe concentration is too high 4. Probe not denatured Remedy 2. It is suggested that up to 1.0 ml of the buffer used for prehybridization is withdrawn for mixing with the probe.
