T4 dna ligase

Manufactured by Beyotime
Sourced in China

T4 DNA ligase is an enzyme used in molecular biology to join DNA fragments together. It catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds between adjacent 3'-hydroxyl and 5'-phosphate ends in double-stranded DNA, DNA-RNA hybrids, or single-stranded DNA. The enzyme is derived from the T4 bacteriophage.

Cloning and Expression of Human TRAIL in ADSCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Full-length human TRAIL cDNA was cloned into the pcDNA3.3-TOPO plasmid using a pcDNA 3.4 TOPO TA Cloning Kit (#A14697; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) as shown in Fig. 1A. In brief, TRAIL cDNA was amplified from MIGR1-TRAIL-GFP as described by Wiley et al (18 (link)) and then sub-cloned into the pcDNA3.3-TOPO plasmid. The TRAIL cDNA was connected to the pcDNA 3.3-TOPO plasmid with T4 DNA ligase (#D7006; Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Beijing, China). After colony polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification (the template was bacterium suspension) and DNA sequencing confirmation (performed by Sangon Biotech Co., Ltd., Wuhan, China), this plasmid containing TRAIL cDNA was used for tail PCR and modified with the MEGAscript T7 kit (Ambion; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). Then, modified TRAIL mRNA was isolated with Ambion Anti-Reverse Cap Analog (ARCA; #AM8045) and purified with Ambion MEGAclear spin columns (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) and treated with Antarctic Phosphatase (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA, USA) to remove residual 5′-triphosphates. The transfection of the TRAIL plasmid into ADSCs was conducted using TransIT-mRNA (Mirus Bio LLC., Madison, WI, USA) according to the manufacturer' instructions and ADSCs transfected with TRAIL-cDNA were defined as TRAIL-ADSCs.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
