AAV Vector Production and Purification Protocol Protocol is used to propagate and purify AAV vectors for experiments both in vitro and in vivo. Includes: Principles of the Triple Plasmid Transfection System; Plasmids; Transfection and Extraction of Virus; Purification of the AAV vector.
Directional Cloning into Plasmid Vectors Protocol Directional cloning requires that the plasmid vector be cleaved with two restriction enzymes that generate incompatible termini and that the fragment of DNA to be cloned carries termini that are compatible with those of the doubly cleaved vector.
Phosphatase Treatment of Linearized Vector Protocol To minimize self-ligated vector in your transformation, treat your linearized vector with a phosphatase to remove the 5' phosphates necessary for ligation. This should improve the percentage of colonies with inserts.
Viral Vector Handling Information Information on how to handle viral vectors. Includes: Adenovirus; MoMLV retrovirus; MoMLV-based Retroviral Vectors: Base classification BSL-1.
