INSTITUTION: Smith College
ADDRESS: Northampton, MA 01063, USA
ORGANISM: Onchocerca volvulus
ABBREVIATED NAME: O. volvulus
STRAIN:TRS Labs
COMMON NAME: cutaneous 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 Onchocerca volvulus 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 1.8 x 10E5 independent recombinants and average insert
size was 900 base pairs. There are 90% 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.
