Notes
ATCC size is 7600 bp. The order of the major features in this plasmid is: pUC19 - EcoRI - HSV thymidine kinase promoter - SV40 late 16S/19S splice signals - NotI - lacZ - NotI - SV40 late polyadenylation signal - XbaI - HindIII - pUC19. [1] The lacZ gene may be excised by NotI and replaced with alternative sequences. [1] Reporter plasmid permitting visual detection of beta-galactosidase activity by histochemical staining. [1] Designed to express low levels of beta-galactosidase or an alternative gene product. May be used as a reference plasmid in transfection experiments or to monitor the effect of trans-acting factors. [1] Restriction digest of the clone give the following sizes (kb): EcoRI--7.2, 0.9; HindIII--7.6; EcoRI/HindIII--4.5,2.7,0.9; NotI--4.4, 3.2; BamHI--3.8 (doublet). (ATCC staff) Medium is -1 TB plus ampicillin (200 ug/ml). Hosts: E.coli DH5alpha, E.coli, monkey COS cells, vertebrate cells. Related vectors: pBR322, pADbeta, pNASSbeta, pCMVbeta, pSVbeta.
