Construction of gene-targeting vectors by recombineering.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recombineering is a technology that utilizes the efficient homologous recombination functions encoded by gamma phage to manipulate DNA in Escherichia coli. Construction of knockout vectors has been greatly facilitated by recombineering as it allows one to choose any genomic region to manipulate. We describe here an efficient recombineering-based protocol for making mouse conditional knockout targeting vectors.

Subcloning Plus Insertion (SPI) - A Novel Recombineering Method for the Rapid Construction of Gene Targeting Vectors
Gene targeting refers to the precise modification of a genetic locus using homologous recombination. The generation of novel cell lines and transgenic mouse models using this method necessitates the construction of a 'targeting' vector, which contains homologous DNA sequences to the target gene, and has for many years been a limiting step in the process. Vector construction can be performed in ...
متن کاملAn improved Red/ET recombineering system and mouse ES cells culture conditions for the generation of targeted mutant mice
Targeted mutant mice generated on a C57BL/6 background are powerful tools for analysis of the biological functions of genes, and gene targeting technologies using mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells have been used to generate such mice. Recently, a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) recombineering system was established for the construction of targeting vectors. However, gene retrieval from BACs...

Objective(s): Up to now, many researches have been performed to improve the antitumoral effect of melanoma differentiation-associated gene-7 (mda-7) protein. The purpose of our research was to construct 3 expression vectors producing mda-7 in fusion with RGD (Arginine-Glycine-Aspartic acid) peptide and evaluate their expression. Materials and Methods: mda-7 gene with two different RGD sequ...
متن کاملA recombineering based approach for high-throughput conditional knockout targeting vector construction
Functional analysis of mammalian genes in vivo is primarily achieved through analysing knockout mice. Now that the sequencing of several mammalian genomes has been completed, understanding functions of all the genes represents the next major challenge in the post-genome era. Generation of knockout mutant mice has currently been achieved by many research groups but only by making individual knoc...
متن کاملRecombineering, transfection, Western, IP and ChIP methods for protein tagging via gene targeting or BAC transgenesis.
Protein tagging offers many advantages for proteomic and regulomic research. Ideally, protein tagging is equivalent to having a high affinity antibody for every chosen protein. However, these advantages are compromised if the tagged protein is overexpressed, which is usually the case from cDNA expression vectors. Physiological expression of tagged proteins can be achieved by gene targeting to k...
