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
Simple determination of retrovirus integration sites using GenomeWalker technology
Determine the precise site of integration of MMLV- and MSCV-based retroviruses
Compatible with most commercially available retrovirus vectors
Complete system including all the necessary enzymes, primers, controls, PCR kit, genomic DNA purification kit, and gel purification kit
Lentiviral version also available for detecting integration sites for lentiviruses
Flow chart of the Retro-X integration site analysis protocol
Flow chart of the Retro-X integration site analysis protocol. The major steps include construction of three viral integration libraries, PCR amplification of genomic DNA from the libraries, and analysis of PCR products. The gel shows a typical result, the amplified bands can be purified and sequenced.
