90 l 10x PCR buffer (Life Technologies)
90 l dNTPs (2.5 mM)
90 l lectin gene forward primer (2.5 M)
90 l lectin gene reverse primer (including recognition sequence)
(0.5 M)
90 l Amplifluor UniPrimer primer (5.0 M, Intergen)
9 l Platinum Taq polymerase (5 U/l, Life Technologies)
27 l MgCl2 (50 mM)
342 l H2O (tissue-culture grade, Life Technologies)
The master mix was thoroughly mixed and stored on ice prior to use.
DNA was prepared from an in-house Roundup Ready GM soy standard and diluted
to 20 ng/l to make a 100% soy stock. This stock was then further diluted
in a 10-fold dilution series to a 0.1% soy stock. A 2 l aliquot of
each diluted soy DNA stock was placed in each of 3 wells on a 96-well
optical plate. DNA was also prepared from commercially available Roundup
Ready GM soy standards to use as unknowns. Standards were obtained from
Fluka (series 410R) and containined 0%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, and 5% Roundup
Ready GM soy. DNA from each of the commercial standards was diluted to
20 ng/l and 2 l of these stocks was added to each of 3 wells on the
same 96-well plate. Three control reactions containing 2 l of tissue-culture
grade water were also prepared. To each tube containing DNA or water,
23 l of master mix was then added. The plate was covered with a sheet
of optical sealing film. PCR conditions were 95C for 3 min, followed
