Large-scale production of lambda bacteriophage and purified lambda deoxyribonucleic acid.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Large amounts of a heat-inducible phage lambda mutant (lambdaCI857) may be obtained under standardized conditions. The phage is harvested by simple polyethylene glycol (C 6000) precipitation and purified by CsCl density gradient banding. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is extracted by cold phenol and purified by sucrose density gradient sedimentation to yield a homogenous population of unbroken lambda DNA molecules.

Isolation of the bacteriophage lambda receptor from Escherichia coli.
A factor which inactivates the phage lambda can be extracted from Escherichia coli. This factor is a protein and is located in the outer membrane of the bacterial envelope. It is found in extracts of strains which are sensitive to phage lambda, but not in extracts of strains specifically resistant to this phage. We conclude that this factor is the lambda receptor, responsible for the specific a...
متن کاملConstruction of the Recombinant Plasmid Expressing AID under the Control of Temperature-sensitive Promoter of Bacteriophage Lambda
Background and purpose: Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is a B-cell specific enzyme responsible for somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination (CSR) of antibody genes within the B-cell follicle of peripheral lymphoid organs. Ectopic overexpression of the enzyme leads to mutations in non-B cells and Escherichia coli (E.coli) genes. However, induction of mutations in E...
متن کاملImproved Procedure for Screening Expression Libraries for Novel Autoantigens
The standard method for immunoscreening of a cDNA expression library is time-consuming becauseof the production of a large proportion of false positives during the first and second round of screening.This problem is more important when a sensitive chemiluminescence detection system is used. Due tothe high sensitivity of the detection system, there is a need to avoid false posi...
متن کاملCyanobacterial ribonucleic acid polymerases recognize lambda promoters.
We compared the initiation specificities in vitro of deoxyribonucleic acid-dependent ribonucleic acid polymerases purified from two cyanobacteria, Fremyella diplosiphon and Anacystis nidulans, and from Escherichia coli. A restriction fragment made from lambda deoxyribonucleic acid was used as a template. The cyanobacterial and E. coli ribonucleic acid polymerases recognized the same lambda prom...
متن کاملIntroduction of bacteriophage lambda into cells of Klebsiella aerogenes.
We have shown that a mutation in the cro gene of phage lambda greatly reduces zygotic induction. This observation has allowed us to move this phage on an episome into cells of Klebsiella aerogenes where it grows as well as in cells of Escherichia coli. This technique should allow the introduction of various derivatives of lambda into any organism which is able to receive deoxyribonucleic acid f...
