Objective:
To construct a chimeric SEA-hPLAP-1 cDNA with gene splicing by overlap extension.
Methods:
The SEA gene and a DNA fragment encoding the signal for GPI-anchor attachment of hPLAP -1 were amplified by PCR. The two amplified gene sequence was annealed to form a chimeric GPI- anchored SEA molecule with gene splicing by overlap extension. The resulting chimera was cloned in pGEM-T vector and verified by sequencing analysis.
Result:
A chimeric SEA-hPLAP-1 cDNA was successfully constructed with gene splicing by overlap extension.
Conclusion:
Gene splicing by overlap extension is a successful specific PCR technique for gene recombination.
