Library Information

NAME OF LIBRARY:Brugia malayi infective larva cDNA (SAW94WL-BmL3)


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 third stage infective larvae of Brugia malayi isolated from mosquitoes 10 days after infection and converted to double stranded cDNA using reverse transcriptase and oligo(dT) followed by RNase H and DNApol I. The library had 1.6 x 10E6 independent recombinants and average insert size was 900 base pairs. There are 95% recombinants in the amplified library. The library was constructed by Wenhong Lu.
AVAILABILITY: The library is available from Dr. S.A. Willams, email swilliams@smith.smith.edu.
