Mucin 1 (MUC1) is a membrane-bound glycoprotein involved in a number of protective and cell-signaling functions, including cell-cell adhesion, proliferation, motility, invasion, and survival. Overexpression of MUC1 is clinically indicated in breast carcinomas, papillary thyroid carcinomas, and thymic carcinomas, and reports have named MUC1 as a useful marker for differentiating thymic carcinoma from type B3 thymoma. The expression of MUC1 is correlated with the grade of malignancy in thymic epithelial tumors, and loss of MUC1 expression has been associated with reactive gastropathy. MUC1 is not expressed in normal human epidermis, but has been detected in the epidermis of psoriatic plaques of biopsies from patients diagnosed with psoriasis vulgaris.
Robust Lysis Solution processes even the most challenging plant species such as pine needle and grape
No phenol extractions
DNA and all sizes of RNA are recovered, including microRNA
High quality DNA and RNA are purified simultaneously using the same spin column
No need to split the lysate
Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s proprietary resin separation matrix
This kit provides for rapid spin column isolation and purification of total RNA and genomic DNA simultaneously from a single plant sample without splitting the lysate. Norgen’s plant lysis solution is highly robust and effective over a wide range of plants including challenging samples. The total RNA and genomic DNA are both column purified in under 30 minutes. Since RNA and DNA are isolated without splitting the lysate, variability and inconsistent results are reduced.All sizes of RNA including microRNA are recovered without the need for phenol. Optional on-column DNase and RNase treatments provide flexibility to isolate DNA-free RNA or RNA-free DNA respectively. Isolated nucleic acids are of a high quality and yield, and are ready for downstream use including PCR, qPCR, RT-PCR, qRT-PCR, sequencing and more.
Background
It is often necessary to isolate total RNA and genomic DNA from a single plant sample, such as for studies of gene expression, mutant or transgenic plant characterization, and host plant-pathogen characterization. This is of great benefit when isolating RNA and DNA from precious, difficult to obtain or very small samples. Furthermore, gene expression analysis will be more reliable since the RNA and DNA are derived from the same sample, therefore eliminating inconsistent results.
