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.
