Depositor Comments

Alternate plasmid name: K15(-4.8)-pGL3

The K15 promoter was cloned from C57 BL/SJ mouse genomic DNA (isolated from tail) by PCR using the Supermix High Fidelity Kit (GIBCO). The sequences of the forward and reverse primers were

CTGAGCTACCAGCGAGACTCC (K15F1)
and
TTCCTGTCCCTAGCAAGCAGGAGAG (K15R1),

respectively. XhoI and EcoRI restriction sequences were added to the 5' end of forward and reverse primers respectively for subsequent cloning of the PCR product into PBK/CMV vector (Stratagene). The promoter fragment was then subcloned into pGL3-Basic (Promega).

The entire K15 promoter-luciferase transgene can be released by digestion with XhoI/SalI.
