  • PCR using the both new forward primer (prf_Xba1 koz_GGGGG_VP2 and prf_XbaI_koz_GGGGG_myc_VP2)
  • gel electrophoresis

Materials:

  • prf_Xba1 koz_GGGGG_VP2 (FP 1)--> myc-
  • prf_XbaI_koz_GGGGG_myc_VP2(FP2)--> myc+
  • prr_VP2_pstI_Temp68 (RP)

Method:

  • PCR (PCR protocol: 02.07.2012)
  • gel electropohoresis: : 2.1 and 0.5 µL pcr product of primer pair myc+ and myc- loaded on gel

Results:

  • gel electrophoresis: pcr product at 2000 bp present, primer dimer obvious

Further tasks:

  • ligation
