AnyFusion® Protocol
1. Vector
preparation
1) Cut the vector to linearize. Single or
double cuts do not make any difference in cloning results. Complete
digestion is crucial.
2) Heat-inactivate the restriction enzyme(s)
used if it is heat-labile. If it is heat-resistant, use a PCR clean-up
kit to remove the enzyme(s)
3) Use distilled water to adjust the vector
concentration. 10~100ng of the linearized vector is used for AnyFusion® reaction.
2. Insert
preparation
1) Perform PCR using Pfu polymerase (See
Fig.3 for designing the primer). If the PCR template is a plasmid containing
the same antibiotic resistance gene as the cloning vector, it can make a
cloning background. To reduce it, pre-cutting the template vector before
PCR is recommended.
2) If the PCR result shows only a specific
product, no purification is needed. Otherwise, agarose gel purification
is recommended. For cloning multiple inserts, purification using a PCR
clean-up kit or through agarose gel electrophoresis is recommended.
10~100ng of the insert is used for AnyFusion® reaction.
[Designing PCR
primers]
1. The 14 nucleotides homologous to the
cloning vector is needed. The 10 nucleotides in length shows ~80% cloning efficiency.
2. To regenerate the restriction enzyme site,
include the nucleotides in ( ) in Fig.3 to the primer sequence.
