Question Problems Cloning Large DNA Fragments Together

Hey!!
I try to clone a 5.5 kb DNA fragment into a smaller PGL3 luciferase vector 4.8 kb vector without any success.

Despite the 3:1 molar ratios and dephosphating techniques is possible to ligate a fragment of that size into a smaller vector?


Is it also possible for the competent cells to take up such a large plasmid after cloning of 11kb plus??

Should i use electrocompetent cells?

Also will transfection of mammalian cells with a construct of this size get good transfection efficiencies??

Thanks for any advices
