TA Cloning Kits

TA Cloning technology greatly simplifies traditional restriction and ligation cloning with a one-step cloning strategy that eliminates the need for any enzymatic modifications of the PCR product and not require the use of primers that contain restriction enzyme sites.

Description

Principle

TA cloning kit can connect DNA fragments in an instant (a few seconds to a few minutes) and efficiently (close to 100%) under the action of Topoisomerase, so that PCR fragments are efficiently linked to carriers. TA cloning kit can connect fragments up to 10kb (that is, the insertion efficiency of 5kb fragments reaches more than 80%), which is a simple, fast, zero-background screening TOPO TA cloning vector.


PCR®2.1 Preparation

1. Prepare the solutions

   Fresh PCR Solution/1uL 1000bp control

0.5-8 uL

   pTOPO-T Vector

1 uL

   10’Enhancer

1 uL

   Sterile Water

X uL

 

10uL

2. Ligation Reaction

After adding the reagent, gently blow the mixture with a pipette or flick the bottom of the tube to mix it.

Incubate at room temperature for 15 minutes. Longer incubation times increase the cloning efficiency.


3. Centrifuge

Collects all liquids at the bottom of the centrifuge tube based on low speed instantaneous centrifugation.


Transformation

1.  50-100mL receptive cells, thawed at room temperature, after completely thawed (about 1 minute) gently dust several times to evenly suspend the cells.

2.  Add 5mL of the connecting solution (up to all can be added, as long as the volume does not exceed 1/10 of the volume of the receptive cells), gently mix, and leave for 5 minutes at room temperature.

3.  The carrier of our company uses commercial receptive cells without ice bath and heat shock, and can obtain enough converters by placing them at room temperature for 5 minutes, if self-made in the laboratory.

4.  When receiving cells or efficiency is low, it can be carried out according to standard procedures. Add 300-500mL LB or SOC medium (without antibiotics) and oscillate for 10 min at 180 rpm at 37℃.

5.  Take 200mL bacterial solution, coating the plate and culture overnight (if few transformogenes are expected, in order to obtain more clones, centrifuge at 4000rpm for 1min, absorb part of the supernatant, retain 100-150mL, lightly suspend the bacterial body, and take all bacterial solution coating plate.

Note:

(1)  Generally, the medium (balanced to room temperature in advance) can be directly added to the 1.5mL centrifuge tube of the receptive cells, covered with the centrifuge tube cap, and fixed horizontally in the oscillating incubator for oscillating culture resuscitation, without the need to transfer to tube culture for resuscitation.

(2)  Generally, when the commercial receptor cells do not exceed 2kb of inserted fragments, a sufficient number of inverters can be obtained in 10 minutes of resuscitation. If the self-made receptor cells are used in the laboratory or the inserted fragments are long and few inverters, the resuscitation time can be increased to 30-60 minutes to obtain more inverters.

Result Analysis

The positive rate of this product is quite high, under normal circumstances, you can achieve what you see is what you get, as long as the growth of the colony is normal (not contaminated bacteria, the number of transformers is not too small), basically contains insertion. Therefore, when the inserted fragment does not exceed 2-3kb, 1-2 bacteria can be directly selected for sequencing without identification.

1.  The plasmid was extracted with the bacterial solution of the white colony cultured above. If the inserted fragment was large, the inserted plasmid could be directly identified by electrophoresis to see the size of the plasmid. The inserted fragment could also be released by EcoR I/Ecor V double enzyme digestion or cut with other appropriate enzymes, and the fragment size could be checked by agarose gel electrophoresis to determine whether the target fragment was contained.

2.  Select colonies for direct PCR detection (see Molecular cloning version 3 or consult us).

3.  Universal M13F/M13R primer sequencing to determine whether the target clone is present.
