Abstract

Recombinant plasmid containing fowl adenovirus 4 hexon gene designated as pCDNA3.1/V5-His-TOPO was digested with 17 restriction enzymes i.e. PstI, BamHI, EcoRI, HindIII, XmaI, XhoI, BglII, SpeI, SacI, SalI, DraI, AluI, AccI, XbaI, HhaI, KpnI and TaqI with their specific assay buffers. DNA fragments of expected size was observed and confirmed the right orientation of insert gene as analyzed on 0.7% agarose gel electrophoresis. It was found that enzymes BamHI, PstI, HindIII, SpeI, DraI had no site on insert DNA while EcoRI and XbaI had no site on vector as well as on insert DNA.
