Abstract:
Messenger RNA was isolated directly from lung cancer cell line A549 using magnetic particles. First strand synthesis from mRNA was driven by M-MLV(Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus) reverse transcriptase and random hexam-eric primer, followed by second strand synthesis using RNase H and DNA polymerase I After treatment with T4 DNA polymerase to flush the ends, the double-stranded cDNA was cloned into the plasmid expression vector digested with EcoRI and followed by removing cohesive end. The number of independent clones of the resulting cDNA library was about 9.0 x 105. The estimated percentage of colonies with inserts was about 85 % . The insert size ranges from 0.5 kb ~ 4 kb. The CPP32 gene coding for death protease was obtained by PCR with the cDNA library from lung cancer cells as a template for the first time. Construction of the cDNA library laid a foundation for screening other genes regulating death of lung cancer cells.
