Introduction

This kit provides fast purification of high-quality RNA from cells, tissues, and yeast using silica-membrane spin columns with a binding capacity of 100μg RNA. There is no need for phenol/chloroform extractions and time-consuming steps such as CsCl gradient ultracentrifugation or isopropanol precipitation. RNA purified using the HiPure Total RNA Purification System can be used for applications such as RT-PCR, Northern blotting, poly A+ RNA (mRNA) purification, nuclease protection, and in vitro translation.

Specifications

Principle

The Kit isolates total RNA from up to 10⁷ cells or 20 mg tissue. A short workflow enables RNA isolation with genomic DNA removal in less than 25 mins. Samples are first lysed and homogenized. The lysate is passed through a DNA Mini column, ethanol is added to the flow-through, and the sample is applied to a RNA column. RNA binds to the membrane and contaminants are washed away. High-quality RNA is eluted in as little as 30µl water using the Kit.

Advantages

• Efficient removal of DNA – unique genomic DNA removal column without DNase treatment
• High quality – high purity total RNA can be directly used in various sensitive downstream applications
• Fast – several samples can be extracted in 25 minutes by column method
• Safe – no phenol chloroform extraction required
• Sensitive – RNA can be recovered at the level of PG

Description

Not all cyanobacterial strains produce toxins. However, the toxin-producing strains cannot be distinguished from the nontoxin-producing strains by traditional light microscopy, commonlyused to monitor water bodies.  An alternative for the differentiation of potentially toxic strains from nontoxic strains is to use molecular methods to detect the presence of toxin biosynthetic genes. Such methods are already available and could be used for the detection and identification of potential microcystin and nodularin producers present in environmental samples (Attogene catalog number NA2024).

Screening for the toxin itself, can be very costly.  In turn, real time PCR for the detection of a gene region responsible for assembling  in cyanobacterial strains and environmental samples can be a key indicator for the prescense of cyanobacteria capable of expressing the aetokthonotoxin toxin.  Attogen has thus, designed primer pairs and probes targeting a the conserved gene region in order to enable the amplification and detection of several producer genera using real time PCR.  Screening for the toxin genes can save significant costs and act as a triage for samples needing to be analyzed for the toxin itself.

Cyanobacterial neurotoxin aetokthonotoxin (AETX), a peculiar pentabrominated biindole alkaloid implicated in fatal Vacuolar Myelinopathy.  This neurodegenerative disease was first recorded in 1994 during an outbreak of bald-eagle poisonings at De Gray Lake in Arkansas, USA.  AETX was experimentally confirmed to be produced by the true branching heterocytous cyanobacterium Aetokthonos hydrillicola.  The production of AETX is dependent on bromide (Br−) availability, and likely linked to its hyper-accumulation by the host plan.  Thus regular monitoring of A. hydrillicola (accompanied by assessment of Br− and AETX levels) is highly advisable to predict the possible threat of further VM outbreaks.

The cyanobacterial AetA gene which encodes the unique FAD-dependent halogenase involved in the pathway for AETX synthesis has been adapted to develop a -aetokthonotoxin specific quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay.

Test Principle

The technological basis for the GenLine tests  is the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with lateral flow tests.

Labelled specific primers are used to amplify specific DNA fragments. In addition to the target gene, a control gene, which is also present in the PCR mixes, is amplified in order to make sure that the PCR process works properly.

The resulting PCR products carry the labels of the incorporated primers.

In a second part of the test, the created PCR products are detected by a lateral flow Test Strip.  A “molecular sandwich” is formed and becomes visible as a line on the test Strip.

Brief Instructions
The PCR reagents and the samples are prepared.
After the addition of the sample to the PCR reagents, the PCR is started.
The resulting PCR products are detected by a simple lateral flow test

Sulfo DBCO-TFP Ester is a water-soluble, amine-reactive labeling reagent that enables simple and efficient incorporation of Sulfo DBCO moiety onto amine-containing molecules. The hydrophilic, sulfonated spacer arm greatly improves water solubility of DBCO derivatized molecules, in many cases making them completely soluble in aqueous media. A short spacer arm adds minimal mass to modified molecules.
