Filter plates – Millipore Multiscreen Durapore 0.65um, low nucleic acid binding membrane. XP bead size is 1um so they do not traverse the membrane – no beads were visible in the wells after test spins.
Input – 2x tubes of inactivated MEFs used as starting material, spun down and lysed in 400ul RLT by vortexing and Qiashredder
50ul then extracted with RNeasy column as control and eluted into 30ul. Yield 217ng/ul, i.e. >6ug
2 x 50ul incubated for 10 mins with 100ul beads suspended in DNA buffer 2 x 50ul incubated for 10 mins with 100ul beads suspended in RNA buffer
o beads float a bit in the RNA buffer so have to be intermittently mixed One of each DNA & RNA extracted on the magnetic rack in the usual manner with 3x 80%
EtOH washes, 200ul each. o The beads were very clumpy, presumably due to the large amount of DNA present,
but they resuspended in water for elution into 30ul The other two were loaded into one well each of a filter plate and spun for 4 minutes at
4000rpm (3200 rcf) in the plate centrifuge over a collection plateo About half of the liquid spun through but due to overloading with excess nucleic
acids the filter clogged and so the remainder was pipetted off the top Washes carried out with 80% ethanol, 3 x 200ul, 1 minute each at 4000 rpm
o These spun through with no issues When the beads lost their sheen, they were assumed to be dry enough for elution
o One minute was sufficient Elution with 30ul water and a 3-minute incubation followed by 2-minute spin at full speed
over a hard-shell PCR plateo Not all of the water passed through the bead bed, probably due to the quantity of
beads and nucleic acid present so the column effectively cloggedo Beads spun through on their own without nucleic acid present didn’t do this
Yields:
1. RNeasy – 217ng/ul2. DNA buffer, magnet – 190ng/ul3. RNA buffer, magnet – 215ng/ul4. DNA buffer, plate – 65ng/ul5. RNA buffer, plate – 61ng/ul

Conclusions so far:1. RNA quality is excellent and will be very suitable for cDNA and assay2. The 2:1 ratio of bead buffer to RLT works well3. Spin plates work well and are fast and easy but unsuitable for large input quantities, need to
establish what the reasonable limit is to get quantitative elution4. The home-made buffers work well

Follow-up experiments
In a previous experiment (not shown) I determined that input of lysate containing less than 1ug of nucleic acids worked very reliably and extraction efficiency and consistency is excellent using 50ul of XP beads. I wanted to measure viral recovery from lysate so used a lentiviral transduction titration plate as a surrogate retroviral RNA source. The titre in transduction units is a 2-fold serial dilution in 6 steps from 32000 to 2000. I do not know what this corresponds to in terms of viral genome copy number, suitable control material and primers are on order.

RNA extraction1. 106 frozen cells (mouse embryo fibroblasts) spun down for 1 minute at 3000 rpm in
microfuge and resuspended in 700ul Qiagen RLT2. Complete lysis ensured by vortexing for 1 minute 3. Lysate divided into 2 sets of 7 x 50ul aliquots on a storage plate4. Lentiviral serial dilution added – 1ul/well, 6 wells leaving the last one blank5. Control set of aliquots extracted with Qiagen RNeasy kit and eluted with 30ul water6. Test set extracted with XP beads in RNA binding buffer as follows:
a. 50ul beads at 1x manufacturers supplied concentration diluted 1:1 with RNA binding buffer
b. 100ul of bead suspension added to each 50ul lysate and binding allowed to take place for 10 minutes with occasional vortexing
c. Binding mix applied to filter plate with multichannel pipette and plate placed securely on 0.8ml storage plate then spun for 1 minute at 4000 rpm in plate centrifuge, leaving beads evenly distributed over filter bed
d. 200ul of 80% ethanol applied to wells and plate spun for 1 minute at 4000 rpme. Wash repeated twice moref. Beads dried briefly – the surface takes on a matt appearance, about 1 minuteg. 30ul water added per well, plate incubated at room temp for 3 minutes

h. Plate placed on Twin Tec PCR plate for elution and spun for 1 minute at 4000 rpm
Yields were all close to 20ng/ul, i.e. 600ng/well No significant difference seen between Qiagen and XP
cDNA synthesis and qPCR1. 5ul template RNA converted to cDNA using superscript IV according to the manufacturer’s
instructions, final volume 20ul 2. Virus qPCR carried out with Clontech LTR primers and SYBR green reporter3. Control set repeated with PPIA Taqman probe PCR
a. Unfortunately I currently have no suitable mouse control that works with SYBR qPCR
PPIA Taqman assay
I did not expect amplification in the no RT control as the PPIA probe set spans exons, however the two sets of preps are clearly comparable and the Ampure spin plate preps are performing as well as the Qiagen extractions

There was significant DNA carryover with the no RT control amplifying on average 3 CTs later than the cDNA. I believe this is due to plasmid carried over from the transfections originally used to produce the virus.
The experiment was repeated with Qiagen Quantitect, which incorporates an initial DNA removal step, leading to a large improvement with a difference of 10 CTs between cDNA and no RT control and a consistent
Ongoing work The viral titre experiment is being repeated independently, with more replicates and newly
arrived controls Optimal operating windows for extraction to be determined in detail Post-elution DNase procedure to be worked up, to enable method usage with any brand of
reverse transcriptase
