Description
This construct will be used to characterize the transfection of two effectors of death (Survivin siRNA and apoptin) in mammalian cells mediated by bacteriophages. The survivin siRNA is expressed under an hTERT promoter, specific for cancerous cells lines. The apoptin is expressed under a CMV promoter because it is extremely specific, so it wouldn't harm the normal cells.
The construct will be contained in a phagemid with de f1 origin of replication (for single stranded DNA), and it is intended to replace the M13 genome.
Notes
The construct structure is as follows: CMV // Apoptin // terminator // hTERT // siRNA // terminator
Source
The apoptin DNA sequence was retrieved from NCBI with the accession number of NC_001427.1. The siRNA was designed by us. And the rest of the parts were from the registry.
