The mutation detection system of repackaged lambda phage containing LacZ gene

摘要

cqvip:The mutation detection system of repackaged lambda phage has been constructed.the mutagen-treated lambda DNA with LacZ gene was repackaged in vitro and the packaged lambda phages were then grown in e.coli Y1090 on a selective plate containing x-gal and isopropylthio-β-D-galactoside.the survival and mutation frequency was determined by counting the clearplaque mutants,the molecular mutation mechanisms of 1-ethyl-1-nitrosourea(ENU) and 9-aminoacridine(9-AA) were further studied by extracting and sequencing the LacZ gene of the mutants.The results demonstrated that the mutation detection system of repackaged lambda gtll DNA containing LacZ gene was not only simple,cheap and timesaving,but also was high specific and high sensitive.Then it is possible for this system to be used as a preliminary mutation screening for chemicals by analyzing the survival of the packaged phages and the mutation frequency,and it's also possible used to analyze the molecular mutation mechanism be sequencing the partial or entire LacZ gene.
