Cloning of the Ssap-NtrB prokaryotic gene into the eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1 / V5 / His B vector

Abstract

Suicide gene therapy has recently emerged as a method used in cancer treatments. These therapies utilized enzymes that are expressed in the cell. In this study, Staphylococcus saprophyticus supsp. saprophyticus Nitroreductase gene (Ssap-NtrB) was subcloned into the eukaryotic expression vector namely pcDNA3.1 / V5 / His B. For this purpose, Nitroreductase gene region was firstly amplified from the pET14B vector using PCR strategy and cloned into the pGEM-T-Easy vector. After this step, the Ssap-NtrB gene was restricted with KpnI/ApaI and was ligated into pcDNA3.1 / V5 / His B vector. Recombinant colonies were verified using KpnI/ApaI restriction enzymes. As a result, the Ssap-NtrB gene was cloned into pcDNA3.1/V5/His B vector and was readyfor use in suicide gene therapy in eukaryotic human cancer cells.
