The Retro-X Integration Site Analysis Kit contains all the reagents needed for PCR-based identification of retroviral vector integration sites in transduced cell clones. The first step is the construction of pools of adaptor-ligated genomic DNA fragments, referred to as “libraries”. These libraries can then be used for identifying genomic DNA sequences flanking the 5′ end of the integrated provirus using long-distance PCR.
Overview
