Abstract:
:Molecular cloning of targeting vectors (TgVs) is a prerequisite procedure for gene disruption in embryonic stem cells. In cases where target genes display complex features (e.g., gene overlap, alternative exon usage), TgVs must mediate deletions with very high precision to prevent unwanted effects. This is often difficult to achieve by procedures using restriction endonucleases and DNA ligases. Therefore, to prepare TgVs for inactivation of two complex genes of immunological interest: PTPRF and NWC, we employed an alternative method, which involves engineering bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) by inducible, plasmid encoded "Red/ET recombinase" expression system. Here, we report rapid and efficient construction of PTPRF and NWC TgVs without using restriction endonucleases.
