pRIG15_6

The Rubella Virus causes the Rubella disease or the so-called „German measles“. It is a typical children’s disease and can get dangerous when first infection occurs after childhood. In this biobrick we include the sequence for the Rubella Glycoprotein E1 which is an envelope associated protein 1). To insert the sequence for rubella glycoprotein E1 into pSB1C3 we designed Gibson primers with compatible overhangs that also included the start codon ATG. The insert was amplified via PCR (Link zum Labjournal-Eintrag) and then assembled with the digested pSB1C3 backbone using Gibson assembly.

To prove correct insertion of our fragment we did a test digest (Link Labjournal) and sent the whole plasmid for sequencing (GATC).
