Figure 2.
The 2D separation of replication intermediates of pUCneo plasmid isolated at 6, 12, 54 and 72 h after Cos-1 cells transfection. Upper panels: replication intermediates digested with EcoRI opposite to the origin. Purified monomers of pUCneo were used for transfection. Middle panel: replication intermediates isolated 6 h after transfection and digested with EcoRI opposite to the origin. Total plasmid sample that consisted of monomers, dimers, and other multimers, was used in this transfection. Lower panel: replication intermediates digested with EcoRI and DpnI. Replication pattern gradually switches from random (Y arc) to origin-based (bubble arc). The Y, bubble and X-shaped recombination products arcs are shown with arrows.
