Library Information

NAME OF LIBRARY:Brugia malayi microfilaria cDNA (SAW94LS-BmMF)


ORGANISM: Brugia malayi
ABBREVIATED NAME: B. malayi
STRAIN:TRS Labs
COMMON NAME: lymphatic filarial nematode parasite of humans
VECTOR: lambda UniZap XR
VECTOR TYPE: Phage
RESTRICTION ENZYME 1: EcoR I
RESTRICTION ENZYME 2: Xho I
HOST: XL1-Blue MRF'
DETAILED DESCRIPTION: mRNA was prepared from microfilariae of Brugia malayi isolated from jirds and converted to double stranded cDNA using reverse transcriptase and oligo(dT) followed by RNase H and DNApol I. The library had 3.5 x 10E5 independent recombinants and average insert size was 900 base pairs. There are 92% recombinants in the amplified library.The library was constructed by Lori Saunders.
AVAILABILITY: The library is available from Dr. S.A. Willams, email swilliams@smith.smith.edu.
