Backbone

• Vector backbone: pBAcPAK8
• Backbone manufacturer: Clontech
• Total vector size (bp): 7595
• Modifications to backbone: The pAC8_MF-p10-mCh (VE5626) is a derivative of pBAcPAK8 (Clontech) for generation of recombinant baculoviruses by homologous recombination. It contains the Multibac dual expression cassette composed of two divergent baculovirus late promoters (PH and p10), each followed by a multiple cloning site (MSC1 and MSC2) and a transcription termination signal (SV40 pA and HSCV pA). It also possess a multiplication module for insertion of additional expression cassettes and a loxP site for Cre-mediated fusion with a donor plasmid containing additional expression cassettes. The protein expressed from the remaining mCherry gene will be used to monitor infection. Insertion of DNA sequence is typically performed in the two multiple cloning sites (MCS1 with BamHI/XbaI under the PH promoter and MCS2 with XhoI/NheI under the p10 promoter) by restriction/ligation or homology based cloning (SLIC, Infusion or Gibson). Dual expression cassettes can also be assembled directly using a 4 fragment reaction where the plasmid backbone is combined with the promoter module and the cDNAs encoding the two target genes.
