Abstract

A method for producing a fusion peptide. A vector is provided with nucleic acid encoding a carrier peptide and at the 3' end of the nucleic acid, a unidirectional restriction endonuclease cleavage site recognized by a restriction endonuclease with the ability to create a non-palindromic 3-base overhang. The vector is cleaved with the restriction endonuclease to produce a cleaved vector. One or more nucleic acids encoding a desired peptide and having at least a 3-base overhang at each end configured and arranged for ligation with the cleaved vector is then ligated to the cleavage site.
