Abstract  

The PCR technique has been widely used in various fields of molecular biological studies. However, multiplex PCR for determination of plasmid copy number has not been reported. To further explore the research in this field, based on the multiple PCR primer design and evaluation computer programs, Two-plex PCR primers were disigned to amplify the bacterial genome and plasmid DNA; then using bacterial liquid of E. coli with different plasmid vectors as the template for multiple PCR reactions. Finally, the integrated optical density of the gel image was analyzed to determine relative copy number of the plasmids. The data showed that the result of relative copy number of the plasmids determined by multiplex PCR was consistent with which determined by Real-time PCR and Southern blot, indicating that multiplex PCR was an alternative and valuable method compared with traditional techniques in routine experiments. So a rapid and efficient method in identification of the plasmid copy number was established, which provides a suitable way to host cell selection by easily and rapidly determining the relative copy number of clone vector and expression vector.
