BACs obtaining bases on pseudorabies virus without packaging sequences by homologous recombination in E. coli
Keywords:
Amplicons, Pseudorabies, Homologous recombination, Pac sequencesAbstract
The herpes simplex virus-based vectors have great advantages such as being neurotropic, efficient infection, es- tablishment of latency, capacity to transport large amounts of DNA, but also have a major drawback being a pathogenic virus for humans, even undergoing modification to alter its virulence it can never be ruled out. Pack- aging sequences (pac) are necessary for correct cutting and packaging of the virus and are located in BamHI fragments 13 and 14’ respectively with a size of 3.2 Kpb. The objective of the study was to obtain BACs based on pseudorabies virus without packaging sequences (pac). PRV BACs modifying was made using homologous recom- bination into DH10B cells and recombination was verified by hybridization analysis.
