Rolling Circle Amplification is a high fidelity and efficient alternative to plasmid preparation for the rescue of infectious clones 2020-06-23 .txt text/plain 4116 225 53 The traditional approach to rescuing virus from an infectious cDNA clone requires propagating large amounts of plasmids in bacteria, which can result in unwanted mutations in the viral genome due to bacterial toxicity or recombination and requires specialized equipment and knowledge to propagate the bacteria. We have developed an alternative method of preparing large quantities of DNA that can be directly transfected to recover infectious virus without the need for bacteria by amplifying the infectious cDNA clone plasmid using rolling circle amplification (RCA). Typically, the propagation of infectious cDNA clones before viral rescue requires the generation of high concentration plasmid stocks from bacteria, which is not only cumbersome and time-consuming but also presents an opportunity for the introduction of unwanted mutations during amplification in bacteria. To ensure that the above results were not restricted to a specific RCA kit, Vero cells were transfected in triplicate in two independent replicates with RCA product produced using both the Evomics SuperPhi Kit and the GE GenomiPhi Kit or plasmid DNA (Fig. 4) . ./cache/cord-102370-5uy8dq18.txt ./txt/cord-102370-5uy8dq18.txt
