DBCO-PEG4-PABA is an analog of DBCO-Acid with PEG linker and a 4-Aminobenzoic acid (PABA) group. The DBCO groups is commonly used for copper-free Click Chemistry reactions due to its strain promoted high energy. The hydrophilic PEG chain allows for increased water solubility. Reagent grade, for research use only.

These kits provide a fast, reliable and convenient method to sequentially isolate and concentrate exosomal RNA as well as Free-Circulating RNA from different plasma/serum sample volumes. The purification is based on spin column chromatography that employs Norgen’s proprietary resin. These kits are designed to isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA as well as all sizes of the free-circulating protein-bound RNA, including microRNA. These kits provide a clear advantage over other available kits in that they do not require any special instrumentation, protein precipitation reagents, extension tubes, phenol/chloroform or protease treatments. Moreover, these kits allow the user to elute into a flexible elution volume ranging from 50 µL to 100 µL. The RNA isolated from the purified exosomes is free from any protein-bound circulating RNA and is of the highest integrity. Moreover, the free-circulating, protein-bound, RNA is free from any exosomal RNA. The purified RNA can be used in a number of downstream applications including real time PCR, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array assays.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All solutions should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment. It is recommended to warm Lysis Buffer A for 20 minutes at 60°C if any salt precipitation is observed.
Important Note
This kit is suitable for the purification of exosomes from fresh or frozen serum or plasma prepared from blood collected on either EDTA or Citrate. Plasma samples prepared from blood collected on heparin should not be used as heparin can significantly interfere with many downstream applications such as RT-PCR.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a retrovirus which destroys essential cells in the human immune system, such as CD4+ lymphocytes (a type of T cell), macrophages and dendritic cells. Infection with HIV therefore leads to an impaired immune system and increased susceptibility to opportunistic cancers and infections. Due to the mutating nature of HIV and damage to the T cells, the immune system is unable to fight off infections and disease. Without treatment, HIV can progress to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The rate of HIV progression to AIDS depends on a number of different factors including viral, host and environmental factors. However, with adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), many individuals with HIV will never progress to AIDS, having near normal life expectancy. Transmission of HIV is through direct contact with infected bodily fluids, either sexually; by the sharing of blood-contaminated needles or instruments; maternally through childbirth or breastfeeding; or via blood transfusion/organ transplant.
