Simple cDNA library preparation with the PrimeScript Double Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit

The PrimeScript Double Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit contains all of the reagents necessary to synthesize double-stranded cDNA from purified poly A⁺ RNA templates using the Gubler-Hoffman method (Gubler and Hoffman 1983). First-strand cDNA is synthesized using PrimeScript RT and either oligo(dT) primers or random primers. After cDNA synthesis, E. coli RNase H7 is used to nick the RNA portion of mRNA-cDNA hybrids. E. coli DNA Polymerase I is subsequently used for second-strand synthesis by nick translation, and E. coli DNA Ligase repairs breaks in the second strand. Finally, T4 DNA Polymerase is used to blunt the ends. The resulting double-stranded cDNA can be cloned into an appropriate vector to generate a cDNA library.

cDNA cloning is used for structural analysis of genes and RNAs, and expression of target proteins. Generating a cDNA library involves synthesizing double-stranded cDNA that is complementary to the target mRNA, inserting the cDNA into a vector of bacterial or viral origin, and introducing the vector into bacterial or eukaryotic cells. The cloned cDNA can be then used for analysis, and in vitro transcription and translation. The PrimeScript Double Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit synthesizes double-stranded cDNA from polyA⁺RNA of animal or plant origin using the Gubler-Hoffman method.
