<h3>Gold Medal Criterion #4</h3>
 
  
<p>
 
Teams that can show their system working under real world conditions are usually good at impressing the judges in iGEM. To achieve gold medal criterion #4, convince the judges that your project works. There are many ways in which your project working could be demonstrated, so there is more than one way to meet this requirement. This gold medal criterion was introduced in 2016, so check our what 2016 teams did to achieve a their gold medals!

If you have built a proof of concept system, you can demonstrate it working under real world conditions. If you have built a biological device that is intended to be a sensor, can you show it detecting whatever it is intended to sense. If it is intended to work in the field, you can show how this might work using a simulated version in the lab, or a simulation of your device in the field.<strong> Please note biological materials must not be taken out of the lab</strong>.

DEMONSTRATE

  Functional test of this system was carried out by adding IL-10 to E. coli having plasmid of IL-12. And we will investigate whether IL-12 is transported out of the cell by performing SDS-page after collecting the media. And we will check the expression of IL-12 by western blotting.

Detects and check whether IL-12 is transport out of the cell.



However, there is a big problem to conduct functional test by using this method. That is, IL-12 antibodies used for Western blotting is expensive. Therefore, we will use GFP to check whether the system works properly. IL-10 is added to the medium of E. coli carrying two plasmids (GFP) and observed whether GFP is expressed. When the expression of GFP on the medium is confirmed, we will then observe the medium with fluorescence microscope to confirm whether GFP has been transported out of the cell.



If the functional test using GFP succeeds, we will test this system at the protein level.
