The vector is very important in this cloning. We should digest completely all the vectors, in order to prevent the self-linkage of the vectors. My experience is that if you want to digest 4ul plasmid as vector, you had batter digest it overnight. If you want to quick such as in two hours, reduce the amount of plasmid.

From the lane 5 to the last one are 24 results of L-lacP PCR.
Since there is not any DNA larger than 1kb, all of these 24 colonies are wrong!!!
All these DNA are about 200bp. So they are the result of self link of lacP!!! There must be something wrong with the digested lacP!!!

Result

At last, I successfully constructed: Pcat-2M-lacI/tetR-term+lacP/tetP, and they are the parts K228817/18.

Experience

The vector is very important in this cloning. We should digest completely all the vectors, in order to prevent the self-linkage of the vectors. My experience is that if you want to digest 4ul plasmid as vector, you had better digest it overnight. If you want to quick such as in two hours, reduce the amount of plasmid.
