pRIG15_8

Infection with the Herpes Simplex Virus 1 leads to life-long persistence of the virus inside the body as a latent infection. ¹⁾ The glycoprotein G is one of 11 glycoproteins expressed by HSV-1. ²⁾ The sequence we used for our experiment was obtained from Jaaskelainen et al., 2009. ³⁾

Figure 1: pRIG15_8. BBa_K1621002 inserted into the submission backbone pSB1C3.

To insert the sequence for HSV-1 glycoprotein G into pSB1C3 we designed Gibson primers with compatible overhangs that also included the start codon ATG. This fragment was amplified via PCR and then assembled with the digested pSB1C3 backbone using Gibson assembly. To prove correct insertion of our fragment we did a test digest and sent the whole plasmid for sequencing.
