Overview

• Detection kits for the BKV
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

The BK virus is a member of the polyomavirus family. BK viral infections are typically asymptomatic in healthy individuals, however very mild symptoms may appear including mild respiratory infections and fever. Once an individual has been infected the virus disseminates to the kidneys and the urinary tract where it remains for the lifetime of the individual. Infections with BK virus in immunocompromised or immunosupressed patients are much more severe and may involve renal dysfunction. In fact, in kidney transplant patients the immunosupressive drugs required for the transplant may allow the virus to replicate within the graft, resulting in a disease called BK virus nephropathy (BKVN). It is thought that 1-10% of renal transplant patients progress to BK virus nephropathy (BKVN) and up to 80% of these patients are reported to have lost their grafts. The onset of nephritis can occur as early as several days post-transplant to as late as 5 years. The mode of transmission of the virus is not clear, however it has been suggested that BKV may be transmitted through respiratory fluids or urine, since infected individuals periodically excrete virus in the urine. This virus can be diagnosed by BKV blood & urine testing, in addition to carrying out a biopsy in the kidneys. PCR techniques are now widely used to identify the virus.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All kit components can be stored for 2 years after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.

All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 2 x) of the Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots.

Introduction

HiPure Insect DNA Kits provides a simple and rapid solution for total DNA extraction of insect tissue samples. This kit is based on silica gel column purification technology without toxic phenol chloroform extraction and time-consuming alcohol precipitation. The whole extraction process only takes 30 minutes. HiPure Insect DNA Kit can process tissue samples less than 10mg at a time. Hipure Insect DNA 96 kit can process 96 insect tissue samples at a high throughput. The obtained DNA can be directly used in PCR, Southern blot, viral DNA detection and other experiments.

Specifications

Principles

This product is based on silica column purification. The sample is lysed and digested with lysate and protease, DNA is released into the lysate. Transfer to an adsorption column. Nucleic acid is adsorbed on the membrane, while protein is not adsorbed and is removed with filtration. After washing proteins and other impurities, Nucleic acid was finally eluted with low-salt buffer (10mm Tris, pH9.0, 0.5mm EDTA).

Advantages

• High purity DNA – can be used in sensitive downstream applications such as multiplex and quantitative pcr
• Good repeatability – suitable for extracting high-yield DNA from insect tissue samples
• Safe – without phenol chloroform extraction and alcohol precipitation

Storage and Stability

Proteinase K, RNase A should be stored at 2-8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 12 weeks) at room temperature (15-25°C) does not affect their performance. The remaining kit components can be stored at room temperature (15-25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions. The entire kit can be stored at 2–8°C, but in thiscase buffers should be redissolved before use. Make sure that all buffers areat room temperature when used.

Isothermal nucleic acid Principle Summary

The kit is based on rapid nucleic acid amplification technology at room temperature and constant temperature, its principle is that at room and constant temperature, the recombinase and primer form a protein/single-stranded nucleotide complex Rec/ssDNA, and invade the double-stranded DNA template with the help of auxiliary proteins and single-stranded binding protein SSB; then form a D-loop region at the invasion point and start to scan the DNA duplex, after finding the target region complementary to the primer and disintegration of the complex Rec/ssDNA, the polymerase also binds to the 3′ end of the primer to start the chain extension.

Isothermal nucleic acid Product Features

1/ High sensitivity and specificity, short reaction time.

2/ The reagent form is freeze-dried, stable and easy to operate.

3/ The reaction can be operated by metal bath and water bath pot without purchasing expensive PCR apparatus.

Technical Parameters:

Isothermal nucleic acid Applications
