Genetic Applications of an Inverse Polymerase Chain Reaction
TLDR
The feasibility of IPCR is shown by amplifying the sequences that flank an IS1 element in the genome of a natural isolate of Escherichia coli.Abstract:
A method is presented for the rapid in vitro amplification of DNA sequences that flank a region of known sequence. The method uses the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), but it has the primers oriented in the reverse direction of the usual orientation. The template for the reverse primers is a restriction fragment that has been ligated upon itself to form a circle. This procedure of inverse PCR (IPCR) has many applications in molecular genetics, for example, the amplification and identification of sequences flanking transposable elements. In this paper we show the feasibility of IPCR by amplifying the sequences that flank an IS1 element in the genome of a natural isolate of Escherichia coli.read more

TL;DR: The HEp-2 system is therefore not a good predictor of behavior in gut tissue in this model and mutations found to be insertions in two previously identified invasion genes, invG and invH, and in a gene not normally associated with invasion, pagC should be cautious in the interpretation of the biological significance of data obtained from invasion of tissue culture monolayers when extrapolated to gut tissue.
