Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Biotechnology
  • Gene Cloning

Context:

  • Human osteosarcoma cells were used as the source for RNA extraction.
  • Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) plays a crucial role in bone formation and regeneration.

Purpose:

  • To clone the human BMP-2 gene.
  • To construct a eukaryotic expression vector for the BMP-2 gene.

Summary:

  • Human BMP-2 cDNA was amplified from osteosarcoma cells via RT-PCR and cloned into the pGEM-T vector.
  • The cloned BMP-2 gene was confirmed by restriction enzyme digestion, PCR, and nucleotide sequencing.
  • The confirmed BMP-2 cDNA was then inserted into the pcDNA3.1(+) eukaryotic expression vector.

Impact:
