Propargyl-PEG10-acid is a propargyl PEG linker with a terminal carboxylic acid. The terminal carboxylic acid forms amide bonds with primary amines; activators (EDC or HATU) will be needed. The propargyl group can react with azide-bearing compounds to form stable triazole bonds. Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.

Norgen’s Urine DNA Isolation Kit for Exfoliated Cells or Bacteria is designed for the rapid isolation of either: 1) human genomic DNA from exfoliated cells that have been shed into the urine from the urinary tract; or 2) bacterial genomic DNA from urine samples. The kit allows for the isolation of DNA from 1 to 50 mL of urine. The genomic DNA isolated from exfoliated cells can be used in a number of diagnostic and research applications including the diagnosis and monitoring of bladder, kidney, or other urinary-tract cancers. Bacterial genomic DNA from both human urine samples and urine samples from animals can be isolated with this kit in order to study the levels and types of bacteria that are present. The kit allows for the isolation of genomic DNA from both Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria, including E. coli, Proteus spp., Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp., Serratia spp., Pseudomonas spp, Clostridial ssp. and Leptospirosis spp.Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Typical yields of human genomic DNA from exfoliated cells will vary depending on the cell density of the urine sample, which is affected by a number of factors including health, diet and sex of the individual donating the urine. Typical yields of bacterial genomic DNA will vary depending on the urine sample and the bacterial species, if any, present in the urine. Healthy humans generally have < 10, 000 CFU of bacteria per mL of urine, and this kit is sufficiently sensitive to isolate and detect DNA from even this minimal amount of bacteria. The genomic DNA purified with this kit is fully digestible with all restriction enzymes tested, and is completely compatible with downstream applications such as PCR, qPCR and Southern Blot analysis.

The BK virus is a member of the polyomavirus family. It has been suggested that this virus may be transmitted through respiratory fluids or urine, since infected individuals periodically excrete virus in the urine. BK viral infections are typically asymptomatic in healthy individuals, however very mild symptoms may appear including mild respiratory infections and fever. 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). The JC virus is a type of human polyomavirus and is very common in the general population, infecting 70 to 90% of humans. Most people acquire JCV in childhood or adolescence. Typically the infection is subclinical and no of consequence in individuals with healthy immune systems. The initial site of infection may be the tonsils or the gastrointestinal tract, and the virus then remains latent in the gastrointestinal tract. JCV can also infect the tubular epithelial cells in the kidneys, where it continues to reproduce, shedding virus particles in the urine. Also, JCV can cross the blood-brain barrier into the central nervous system. JCV is known to cause the usually fatal progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) by destroying oligodendrocytes in the brain in immunodeficient or immunosuppressed individuals. The JC and BK viruses are very similar, with their genomes sharing 75% homology. It is however important to differentiate between the viruses due to the differences in pathology and especially the invariably fatal outcome of PML which is only caused by the JC 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.
