In 1938, Craigie and Yen adapted Vi phages by selective propagation and used them at their critical test dilutions to differentiate 11 types of B. typhosus. [19] In 1943, Felix and Callow extended the method to Salmonella paratyphi B . in 1943 and differentiated 12 types with 11 phages. [ 20 ]
Cosmids are predominantly plasmids with a bacterial oriV, an antibiotic selection marker and a cloning site, but they carry one, or more recently two, cos sites derived from bacteriophage lambda. Depending on the particular aim of the experiment, broad host range cosmids, shuttle cosmids or 'mammalian' cosmids (linked to SV40 oriV and mammalian ...
This may be a multiple cloning site (MCS) or polylinker, which contains many unique restriction sites. The restriction sites in the MCS are first cleaved by restriction enzymes, then a PCR-amplified target gene also digested with the same enzymes is ligated into the vectors using DNA ligase. The target DNA sequence can be inserted into the ...
The integration of phage λ takes place at a special attachment site in the bacterial and phage genomes, called att λ. The sequence of the bacterial att site is called attB, between the gal and bio operons, and consists of the parts B-O-B', whereas the complementary sequence in the circular phage genome is called attP and consists of the parts ...
This procedure is termed panning. It utilizes the binding interactions so that only specific peptides presented by bacteriophage are bound to the target. For example, selecting antibody presented by bacteriophage with coated antigen in microtiter plates. The washing step comes after the capturing step to wash away the unbound phages from solid ...
The first step in Gateway cloning is the preparation of a Gateway Entry clone. There are a few different ways to make entry clone. Gateway attB1 and attB2 sequences are added to the 5' and 3' end of a gene fragment, respectively, using gene-specific PCR primers and PCR amplification. The PCR amplification products are then mixed with a propriet
Bacteriophage derived proteins are used for detection and removal of bacteria [2] [3] and bacterial components (especially endotoxin contaminations) in pharmaceutical and biological products, human diagnostics, food, [4] [5] and decolonization of bacteria causing nosocomial infections (e.g. MRSA).
Hershey and Chase inserted the radioactive elements in the bacteriophages by adding the isotopes to separate media within which bacteria were allowed to grow for 4 hours before bacteriophage introduction. When the bacteriophages infected the bacteria, the progeny contained the radioactive isotopes in their structures. This procedure was ...
