Overview

• Detection kits for XMRV
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

Xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) is a gammaretrovirus. The virus was first described in 2006 and has since been isolated from human biological samples. XMRV belongs to the family Retroviridae and the genus gammaretrovirus. It has a single-stranded RNA genome that replicates through a DNA intermediate. The virus gets its name due to its close relationship with the murine leukemia viruses (MuLVs). The viral genome is approximately 8100 nucleotides in length and is 95% identical with several endogenous retroviruses of mice. While gammaretroviruses have well-characterized oncogenic effects in animals, they have not been shown to cause human cancers. However, XMRV was recently discovered in human prostate cancers and is the first gammaretrovirus known to infect humans. In addition to prostate cancer, a possible association with chronic fatigue syndrome has been reported, however it has yet to be established whether XMRV is a cause of this disease.

The causal role of XMRV in cancer has yet to be established and the virus does not appear to be capable of transforming cells directly. In prostate cancer, XMRV protein has been found in tumour-associated but nonmalignant stromal cells, but not in the actual prostate cancer cells. This raises the possibility that the virus may support tumorigenesis. In other studies, XMRV proteins and nucleic acids were found in malignant cells.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All kit components can be stored for 1 year 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

Usages:

For the rapid detection and enumeration of Escherichia coli.

Principle:

Peptone and yeast extract powder provides carbon and nitrogen sources and trace elements; sodium chloride maintains osmotic equilibrium; agar as medium coagulant; dodecyl sulfate inhibit Gram-positive bacteria; chromogenic substrate and large intestine coli β- glucuronidase enzyme specific reaction, hydrolysis of the substrate, the release of the color groups produce green colonies on the light yellow plate.

Formulation (per liter):

Peptone :15.0g

Yeast extract powder: 3.0g

Sodium chloride: 5.0g

Sodium lauryl sulfate:0.1g

Agar: 12.0g

Chromogenic substrate 6.5g

Final pH 7.0 ± 0.2

How to use:

1. Weigh 41.6g of the product, adding 1.0L distilled or deionized water, heated to boiling stirring until completely dissolved, dispensing into flask, 115 autoclaved for 10minutes.

2. Take 25.0g or 25.0ml of sample with sterile procedures , added  to the flask containing 225.0mL of sterile phosphate buffered saline (or saline) , shaken thoroughly homogenized with a homogenizer or a 1:10 dilution of 1min solution, diluted 1:10 and then continue to select the appropriate serial dilutions of three, the two plates inoculated with each dilution, poured dissolved by heating and cooled to about 45 medium.

3, observe the results.
