Description

The TA Cloning Kit uses the pCR2.1 cloning vector and ExpressLink™ T4 DNA Ligase to generate a ligation product in a fifteen-minute, room-temperature ligation step. Reactions typically yield >80% recombinants containing inserts.

• Fast and convenient: 15-minute, room-temperature ligation
• Efficient: blue/white screening and >80% clones with correct insert
• Flexible: choice of kanamycin or ampicillin resistance for flexible antibiotic selection
• Hassle-free: eliminates any enzymatic modifications of PCR product
• Streamlined: does not require use of PCR primers that contain restriction sites
• 3'-T overhangs for direct ligation of Taq-amplified PCR products
• T7 promoter for in vitro RNA transcription and sequencing
• Versatile polylinker with flanking EcoR I sites for easy excision of inserts
• M13 forward and reverse primer sites for sequencing

• How TA Cloning™ Works
• Taq polymerase has non-template-dependent activity that adds single deoxyadenosine (A) to 3' ends of PCR products
• Llinearized vector supplied in this kit has single 3' deoxythymidine (T) residues
• Allows PCR inserts to ligate efficiently with vector
• Kit Configurations
• TA Cloning™ Kit is offered in a variety of configurations: without competent cells (K2020-20 and K2020-40), with One Shot™ INVF' Chemically Competent E. coli (K2000-01 and K2000-40), with One Shot™ TOP10F' Chemically Competent E. coli (K2030-01 and K2030-40), and with One Shot™ TOP10 Chemically Competent E. coli (K2040-01 and K2040-40) in 20- and 40-reaction kit sizes
