Backbone

  • Vector backbone
    pcDNA6.V5.HisB
  • Backbone manufacturer
    Invirtogen
  • Backbone size w/o insert (bp) 4985
  • Total vector size (bp) 7549
  • Modifications to backbone
    pcDNA6.V5.HisB vector was modified with NheI and PmeI restriction digestion enzymes to cut out MCS, V5 and His tag sites. New multiple cloning sites using annealed primer pair were ligated back into the vector. The newly generated cloning site comprises: NheI, KpnI, EcoRV, XhoI and SacII. Codon optimized Large T was cloned between EcoRV and XhoI restriction sites.
