a highly efficient cloning vector was constructed for cloning pcr products by inserting an 80 bp dna fragment into pgem-5zf (+) vector. the xcm i digestion of this vector gave rise to a 3’ overhanging deoxythymidine offering the possibility of cloning pcr products with 3' adenosine overhang created by taq dna polymerase. furthermore, two ecor i sites were added to the construct for identificati...

A rapid DNA cloning system is a research interest of many scientists. TA cloning is one of the methods used for the cloning of PCR-amplified DNA molecules. The TA cloning method is a convenient and labor-saving replacement to traditional, restriction enzyme-mediated cloning strategies. A T-vector called pBlueskript ΙΙ SK-1 with the lethal gene ccdB was designed to construct a positive selection...

objective: the aim of this study was to construct a pcdna3.1+ vector containing fmdv type o/irn/1/2007-vp1 gene, protein expression in bhkt7 cells and evaluation of immune response in balb/c mice. materials and methods: fmdv type o/irn/1/2007 was isolated from a cattle in ray in 2007 and serotyped. the purified vp1 gene was sub-cloned into the ptz57r/t vector and pcdna3.1+ expression vector. t...

Toxoplasmosis is a common and widespread infection in humans and many other species of warm–blooded animals. Toxoplasma gondii-derived heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) may play an important role in the virulence of Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii). In the present study, T. gondii Hsp70 was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from the DNA of the T. gondiitachyzoite RH strain through the use o...
