Project Overview
Phase 1 - Intial Testing
Intialy testing of various simlpe constructs to confirm there is gene expression in vitro and in veso, the simlpe constructs are:
Test Constructs | |
Constitutive E.coli Promoter | |
Constitutive T7 Promoter | |
Inducible E.coli Promoter | |
Inducible E.coli Promoter |
Firstly we will test the promoters in vitro system. We will be simply testing whether the promoters actually work so we are not interested in a lot of details at present. The promoter construct plus any inducer required (if the promoter is inducable) will be mixed together and the levels of fluorescence will be monitored over time.
We preferably want to use a constitutive promoter for Cell by Date. If all constitutive promoters are found working then we will need to chose one of them. The dicision can be made based on their levels of activity (the higher, the better) and their operating temperature range. This needs to be as close as possible to the CBD operating range of 4oC - 37oC
For Infector Detector, only the Lux promoter can be used so it is needed to work in vitro.
Phase 2 - Device construct
Cell by Date
Phase 3 -Validation device construct
The two simple constructs will then be implemented in the two project applications of cell by date and infecter detector.
