Plasmid preparation for cloning of protein A DNA to pET15b+OmpA-alpha

Antoni

1. Isolation of plasmid from cultures inocluated on previous day (pET15b+OmpA-alpha).
2. Digest of pET15b+OmpA_alpha with NdeI and NotI (Orange buffer) and dephosphorylation with CIAP.
3. Gel electrophoresis (Fig. 1.) and gel-out of 6300 bp band.

Cloning of protein A DNA to GeneArt plasmid

Antoni

1. Isolation of plasmids from bacterial cultures inoculated on previous day (pKS+A and pGeneart+Z).
2. Digest of pKS+A and pGeneart+Z with SacI and NotI (BamHI buffer), pGeneart dephosphorylation with CIAP.
3. Gel electrophoresis (Fig. 1.) of digested plasmids and gel-out of proper bands (470 bp for protein A lane and 2570 for pGeneart)
4. Overnight ligation of pGeneart and A.
