RESUMO
A 2400 base pair DNA segment containing the leftward operator (OL) of phage lambda was covalently joined in vitro to a fragment of simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA harboring the SV40 replication origin. The recombinant molecule was propagated in the presence of helper wild-type SV40 DNA in monkey kidney cells and partially cloned by an infectious center procedure. After propagation in monkey cells and purification, the hybrid DNA could be distinguished from wild-type SV40 DNA by its shortened length (about 80% that of SV40), specific hybridization to denatured lambda DNA immobilized on filters, specific affinity for lambda repressor, and preservation of a large part (about 2300 base pairs) of the lambda immunity region as determined by restriction nuclease cleavage patterns and electron microscopic heteroduplex analysis. These results indicate that defective SV40 replicons can serve as vectors for propagating foreign DNA in mammalian cells.
