Backbone

  • Vector backbone
    pMLS280
  • Backbone manufacturer
    Erik Jorgensen (Addgene plasmid #73738)
  • Backbone size w/o insert (bp) 2438
  • Total vector size (bp) 7202
  • Modifications to backbone
    A backbone SapI site in pMLS280 was changed to an NdeI site
  • Vector type
    DNA amplification

Growth in Bacteria

  • Bacterial Resistance(s)
    Kanamycin, 50 μg/mL
  • Growth Temperature
    37°C
  • Growth Strain(s)
    NEB Stable
  • Growth instructions
    We routinely grow in NEB 5-alpha for amplifying large quantities from the sequenced plasmid stock. Due to the repetitive sequence, for propagation and distribution, NEB Stable would likely be better suited.
