replicating units that can be easily introduced into hosts such as E.coli, plasmids are very useful in recombinant DNA technology. pUC19 is a circular, double stranded plasmid of size 2.7kb. The plasmid has the following features :

(d) The multiple cloning site: the MCS is situated in the lacz gene. It has sites for several restriction enzymes such as HindIII, XbaI, KpnI, etc.

(e) Ampicillin resistance gene: the AmpR gene serves as a selectable marker.

(f) Ori: plasmid pUC19 has a high copy number and hence is useful as an expression vector.

All these features of pUC19 make it an ideal candidate for transformation into other cells for recombinant DNA technology applications. This pUC19 from Genei is purified by Caesium chloride density gradient block centrifugation.
