Cloning and sequencing of the gene coding for diphtheria toxin from corynebacterium diphtheriae vaccine strain at IVAC

In this study, PCR technique was used with 2 primer pairs for amplifying DNA fragments at 5’ and 3’ of the gene encoding diphteria toxine of the strains Corynebacterium diphtheriae. After the cloning and sequencing, 2 separated fragments were joined to form a complete gene. The sequence of gene was translated into protein and the results were submitted into Gene Bank Database
