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 HSV1. 2) The sequence we used for our experiment was obtained from Jaaskelainen et al., 2009. 3)
To insert the sequence for HSV1 glycoprotein G into pSB1C3 we designed Gibson primers with compatible overhangs that also included the start codon ATG. This fragment 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. Link to genebank file: BBa_K1621002.gb.
