Phage cloning strategy two

  • Mutagenesis PCR of pBlue with insert to remove KpnI restriction site
    • using turbo Pfu
    • elongation: 12,5min
    • DpnI digestion 2h at 37°C
    • transformation in TOP10, plated out on Cm plate


Phage cloning strategy one

  • mutation of old insert in pBluescript
  • pBluescript + insert was cut with BamHI --> the resulting backbone cut out of the gel and religated. With this vector 2 mutagenesis PCRs were done to eleminate the two remaining XbaI restriction sites.
  • The resulting vector was digested with XbaI/XhoI to get the insert with the correct restriction sites for ligation into lambda phage
