An Efficient Method to Prepare PCR Cloning Vectors
نویسندگان
چکیده
An improved procedure for preparing PCR cloning vectors was developed. This procedure includes the incorporation of adapters to create XcmI restriction enzyme sites in pBluescript II SK(+) vectors, digestion with XcmI followed by further digestion of the small fragment produced by XcmI digestion with additional enzymes, and purification with PCR purification kits. Using this procedure, PCR cloning vectors with high ligation efficiencies and low blue or false-positive colonies were obtained.

Highly efficient yeast-based in vivo DNA cloning of multiple DNA fragments and the simultaneous construction of yeast/ Escherichia coli shuttle vectors.
In vivo recombinational cloning in yeast is a very efficient method. Until now, this method has been limited to experiments with yeast vectors because most animal, insect, and bacterial vectors lack yeast replication origins. We developed a new system to apply yeast-based in vivo cloning to vectors lacking yeast replication origins. Many cloning vectors are derived from the plasmid pBR322 and h...
متن کاملIn silico cloning and bioinformatics study of Brucella melitensis Omp31 antigen in different mammalian expression vectors
Brucella melitensis, as a pathogenic gram-negative intracellular bacterium, causes brucellosis in animals and humans. According to literature, the B. melitensis outer membrane protein 31 (Omp31) is considered as an important vaccine candidate against brucellosis. The aim of the current study was to compare three different expression constructs containing B. melitensis Omp31 antigen using bioinf...
متن کاملRapid one-step recombinational cloning
As an increasing number of genes and open reading frames of unknown function are discovered, expression of the encoded proteins is critical toward establishing function. Accordingly, there is an increased need for highly efficient, high-fidelity methods for directional cloning. Among the available methods, site-specific recombination-based cloning techniques, which eliminate the use of restrict...
متن کاملAn Alternative Method to Facilitate cDNA Cloning for Expression Studies in Mammalian Cells by Introducing Positive Blue White Selection in Vaccinia Topoisomerase I-Mediated Recombination
One of the most basic techniques in biomedical research is cDNA cloning for expression studies in mammalian cells. Vaccinia topoisomerase I-mediated cloning (TOPO cloning by Invitrogen) allows fast and efficient recombination of PCR-amplified DNAs. Among TOPO vectors, a pcDNA3.1 directional cloning vector is particularly convenient, since it can be used for expression analysis immediately after...
متن کاملDesign, simplified cloning, and in-silico analysis of multisite small interfering RNA-targeting cassettes
Multiple gene silencing is being required to target and tangle metabolic pathways in eukaryotes and researchers have to develop a subtle method for construction of RNA interference (RNAi) cassettes. Although, several vectors have been developed due to different screening and cloning strategies but still some potential limitations remain to be dissolved. Here, we worked out a simple cloning stra...
