pGEM-T easy vector gives extra band

[R. Jayakumar]

DEar Susanne
      Can you please explaing what you meant by the answer.  it will be
helpfull.  actually, we got pgemt from promega.  I know that it is possible
to generate T tailed vectors.  I also have some papers from NAR.  But have
you done this in your lab.  if so can you send me the standardised protocol
for that.  I will be very grateful for your lab.
    Anyway, the insert was flanked by the two sites HindIII/PstI inserted on
either sides through the primers which was synthesised with these sites at
the 5' end, for a specific purpose.  The insert does get released as
expected when idigest the chimeric plasmid with these enzymes, but for the
extra band.
   thank you for your helpful suggestion
sincerely
jakku
