摘要:
The invention relates to a nucleic acid marker ladder which is a restriction endonuclease digest, wherein a nucleic acid restriction endonuclease digest is a collection of nucleic acid fragments resulting from complete digestion of one or more nucleic acids by one or more restriction endonucleases; the restriction endonuclease digest contains at least 3 fragments; and the size of the fragments in base pairs is a multiple of an integer, wherein the integer is 10 or more.

A method for immunization using genetic material is disclosed. Compositions for genetic immunization comprising cationic lipids and polynucleotides are also disclosed. Methods for using genetic immunization to produce polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies are also disclosed. A method for epitope mapping is also disclosed.
摘要:
The present invention discloses cationic lipids useful for making lipid aggregates for delivery of macromolecules and other compounds into cells. They are especially useful for the DNA-dependent transformation of cells. Also disclosed are lipids useful both for the delivery of macromolecules and also useful as intermediates for making other such lipids.
摘要:
The present invention provides novel modified nucleotide compounds having the general formula: X-n(J)-(d or r)NTP where N is adenosine, guanosine or cytidine; X is H, a fluorophore, a chromophore, a luminescent compound, a ligand or a hapten; n is an integer of 7 or more; and J is a Jeffamine (TM Texaco, Inc.) substituent. These compounds are substantially superior substrates for incorporating label into nucleic acids during enzyme-catalyzed synthesis. Use of a Jeffamine-linked labelled nucleotide derivative as a partial substitute for unlabelled substrate therefore leads to significantly greater incorporation, hence increased label density per unit length of nucleic acid, than the same label joined by a prior art linker. Jeffamine-modified ribo- or deoxyribo-nucleotides are also provided for synthesis of Jeffamine-modified nucleic acids. The invention further provides an improved method of synthesizing labelled nucleic acids. This method provides greater frequency and higher efficiency of label incorporation, thus requiring lower amounts of nucleotide derivative in the reaction mixture.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to recombinant hosts which contain and express the Cla I Type-II restriction endonuclease and/or modification methylase genes. The present invention is also directed to vectors or DNA molecules which contain these gene, and to methods of producing the enzymes. One source of these enzyme is Caryophanon latum, although other microorganisms may be used to isolate the restriction endonuclease isoschizomers and modification methylase isoschizomers of the invention.
摘要:
A method of incorporating an exo-sample nucleotide (e.g. deoxyuridine in DNA) into amplified product strands resulting from a nucleic acid amplification process is disclosed. Once the product strands have been obtained and analysed (e.g. by hybridisation, Southern blot, etc.), the exo-sample strands can be selectively destroyed by acting on the incorporated exo-sample nucleotide. Two procedures are described. In the first procedure the exo-sample nucleotide is incorporated by conducting the amplification reaction in the presence of an excess of exo-sample nucleotide triphosphate. In the second procedure the exo-sample nucleotide is incorporated by conducting the amplification reaction in the presence of an oligonucleotide which has, as part of its sequence, one or more exo-sample nucleotides.
摘要:
Clonage et expression dans un hôte tel que Escherichia coli du système de modification-restriction à partir de Klebsiella pneumoniae utilisant un protocole à deux étapes. La protection initiale de l'hôte E. coli avec une méthylase exprimée sur un vecteur a été nécessaire pour stabiliser un vecteur compatible portant à la fois les gènes d'endonucléase et de méthylase dans un seul fragment d'ADN. Un carte chromosique a été dressée pour localiser les gènes de méthylase et d'endonucléase de KpnI. On a construit une souche de E. coli qui produit des niveaux d'endonucléase KpnI plus élevés de plusieurs milliers de fois que le niveau produit par Klebsiella pneumoniae. La présente invention a aussi trait au clonage et à l'expression de gènes codant pour des isoschizomères d'endonucléase de restriction de KpnI et/ou des isoschizomères de méthylase de modification de la méthylase KpnI.
摘要:
A process for detecting specific nucleotide sequences, called targets, in which a special DNA probe molecule, called a probe-vector, is capable of transforming bacteria if and only if it is held in a circular configuration by base pairing to a target nucleic acid, said transformation resulting in the detection of a phenotype specified by the probe-vector, said detection establishing the presence, absence, or quantity of the target; and a probe-vector molecule for performing the process.
