Equipment

NEB 100 bp ladder; 2% agarose gel in TBE

Reaction mix

  1. Set up each 25 µL reaction as in the table: 5.5 µL of Nuclease-free water, 12.5 µL of OneTaq Hot Start 2X Master Mix (New England Biolabs), 1 µL of Forward primer (10 µM stock), 1 µL of Reverse primer (10 µM stock) and 5 µL of Eluted DNA.

  2. Run the cycling program for the primer set, as in its table below.

  3. Run the product on the 2% agarose gel in TBE beside the NEB 100 bp ladder.

    Expected:

    A band at the set's product size: see where the REV amplicons sit on the genome and, for LPDV, PCR LPDV p31/CA. On the original pages each gel showed a band in the REV-positive lane and none in the negative lane.
