Molecular cloning and functional analysis of Bovine mammary gland matrix attachment regions
牛乳腺核基质附着区的克隆及其功能研究

The bovine genomic DNA was extracted from bovine blood, then bovine mammary gland matrix attachment region (BMARs) was cloned using a pair of primers, which were designed based on the related sequences in GenBank through bio-software Primer5.0 and Vector7.0. Upon preliminary analysis with bio-software, BMARs was TA cloned into PMD-18 T vector. By means of adding Kpn2 I and Xho I to 5' upstream of sensitive and antisensitive primers respectively, expressing vector BE was constructed after BMAR was cloned into the downstream of the reporter gene in pEGFP-C1. Bovine ear fibroblast cells were transfected by expressing vector BE with Lipofectamine.Compared with control bovine ear fibroblast cells transfected with pEGFP-C1, the effect of cloned BMR was apparent in dispelling position effect and enhancing gene expression.
