title: New bacteriophage vectors for the large scale production of single stranded insert DNA.
abstract: SSEV 18 and SSEV 19, derivatives of the bacteriophages M13mp18/19, are new versatile cloning vectors allowing the large scale preparation of single stranded (ss) insert DNA. Replacing the original multiple cloning site by a synthetic 96 bp DNA fragment, a new polylinker region has been introduced containing complementary sequences designed to form a stem structure where single stranded insert fragments can be excised via a 'master restriction' site. The usefulness of such a vector has been demonstrated by the cloning of a 900 bp HindIII fragment derived from the Mycoplasma hyorhinis 23 S rRNA gene. After excision the single stranded insert was labeled isotopically and tested for sensitivity and specificity in detecting homologous sequences in pure DNA or cellular material immobilized on filters.
