In Vivo Tetsing


Aims

To Determine if the Tet-LuxR-pLux-GFP construct works in vivo after inducing at 1mM AHL concentration

Tested on Tested 17-08-2007

Results

Test: 17-08-2007


17-08-2007- Results of pLux
The results show that the pLux construct works in vivo. Three repeated measurements were performed on three different samples and compared to a diluted concentration of GFP used as a positive control. On the graph on the right you can see the fluorescence reading of the pLux assembly 7 hours after it has been induced with AHL. The readings of pLux are comparable to those of the positive control, diluted GFP solution, and so we can conclude that GFP has been expressed.


Discussion

The construct has been found to work in vivo. The results show a strong response after induction of the pLux promoter. In addition there was a lot of variability within the results, this was a problem for the pTet construct and so we will investigate the fluorometer settings to improve upon this variability

Conlusion

We will now test to see if pLux can express in vitro
