Optimized PCR-based Detection of Mycoplasma
Paige L. Dobrovolny 1, Dan Bess 1
1Product Management, Sigma-Aldrich

The LookOut Mycoplasma PCR Detection Kit utilizes the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which is established as the method of choice for highest sensitivity in the detection of Mycoplasma, Acholeplasma, and Ureaplasma contamination in cell cultures and other cell culture derived biologicals.

FSL Constructs: A Simple Method for Modifying Cell/Virion Surfaces with a Range of Biological Markers Without Affecting their Viability
Deborah A. Blake 1, Nicolai V. Bovin 2, Dan Bess 1, Stephen M. Henry 1
1Biotechnology Research Institute, AUT University and KODE Biotech Ltd, 2Shemyakin Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry RAS, Moscow, Russia

Function-Spacer-Lipid (FSL) constructs allow the surface characteristics of living cells and virions to be modified without loss of vitality. The method requires only simple contact of an FSL construct solution with a cell/virion and spontaneous and stable surface incorporation occurs.

MISSION LentiPlex Pooled shRNA Library Screening in Mammalian Cells
Matthew J. Coussens 1, Courtney Corman 1, Ashley L. Fischer 1, Jack Sago 1, John Swarthout 1
1Sigma-Aldrich

Here we use a human LentiPlex pooled library and traditional sequencing methods to identify gene targets promoting cell survival. We demonstrate how to set up and deconvolute a LentiPlex screen and validate the results.
