Screening a genomic
library using DNA
hybridization to a
(radio-)labeled DNA
probe
Note: a cDNA is commonly
(radio-)labeled and used as
a DNA probe to screen a
genomic library

method [uses the Klenow fragment of DNA polymerase]

The first step in making a
cDNA library: Purification
of polyadenylated mRNA
using oligo(dT)-cellulose
Note: selection of the
proper source (organ,
tissue) of the RNA is
critical here!
Complementary DNA or
cDNA cloning:
cDNA library construction
Note: ds cDNAs are typically
placed in a cloning vector such
as bacteriophage lambda (l)
or a plasmid

There are several possible ways to
screen a cDNA library
•Using a DNA probe with a homologous sequence
(e.g., a homologous cDNA or gene clone from a
related species)
•Using an oligonucleotide probe based on a known
amino acid sequence (requires purification of the
protein and some peptide sequencing)
•Using an antibody against the protein of interest
(note: this requires use of an expression vector)
•Plus/minus or differential screening (the least
specific way)
Screening a cDNA
library using DNA
hybridization to a
(radio-)labeled
DNA probe
Screening a cDNA library with a labeled oligonucleotide probe
based on a known peptide sequence
Using polynucleotide kinase and
g-32P-labeled ATP to radiolabel oligonucleotide probes
Immunological screening of an
expression cDNA library with a
primary antibody and labeled
secondary antibody; note the
label is often an enzyme label
like alkaline phosphatase or
horseradish peroxidase, but it
can also be 125I

expression vectors

A cosmid cloning system:
another possible cloning
vector which can be used
for genomic library but
not for cDNA libraries
In summary, you have seen:
•How to make and screen gene libraries
•How to make and screen cDNA libraries
•Several different cloning vectors including
plasmids, bacteriophage lambda (l), and
cosmids
