The ccdB gene is a known topoisomerase II poison and will kill all available cell lines with the exception of DB3.1 cell lines available from Invitrogen. The gene can be used as a selectable marker by ligating it with the plasmid and structure of interest and transforming it into a cell line susceptible to the toxic effects of ccdB. Colonies that grow on plates should contain the plasmid and gene of interest as ccdB inserted into the plasmid will kill cell cultures.
