Bile Salt Export Pump (BSEP) is a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, which mediates the transport of bile acid, taurocholate and other cholate conjugates across the hepatocyte canalicular membrane into the canaliculus. BSEP is associated with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 (PFIC2) and benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 (BRIC2). PFIC2 caused by mutations in the BSEP gene increases the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in early life.
HL-dsDNase is especially developed to remove contaminating genomic DNA from RNA preparations. Figure 1 shows that HL-dsDNase can reduce 50 ng of human gDNA to levels non-detectable by qPCR. In figure 2, a human total RNA sample was treated with HL-dsDNase and analysed on the Bio-Rad Experion™ System. The results indicate that HL-dsDNase has minimal impact on RNA quality and quantity.
HL-dsDNase is an engineered version of dsDNase that is rapidly and completely inactivated by incubation for 5 minutes at 58°C with 1 mM DTT at pH 8.0 or above. Chemical inactivation in downstream compatible RT or PCR buffers allows milder heat inactivation and, in some cases, skipping heat inactivation altogether. This makes HL-dsDNase very useful for removal of DNA from RNA preparations since the enzyme may be inactivated using various strategies with reduced risk of auto-degradation of RNA in the presence of magnesium, making HL-dsDNase an ideal enzyme when working with small volumens of RNA.
HL-dsDNase is also an excellent choice for removal of unwanted external DNA from samples prior to analysis of nucleic acids protected by biological membranes, e.g., bacteria, viruses, and sperm. Especially if using downstream analysis methods that might be affected by host cell DNA, as metagenomic sequencing and STR-profiling. The easy inactivation of HL-dsDNase makes it a fast and efficient alternative to methods as differential extraction, where sample material is often lost.

Nucleic acid testing (NAT) is the method of choice for detection and quantification of a wide range of micro organisms. Primerdesign manufactures and supplies high quality quantitative real-time PCR kits for the detection and simultaneous quantification of numerous significant pathogens . A copy number standard curve is provided for quantification and an the internal extraction template (DNA or RNA), controls for the quality of the nucleic acid extraction and eliminates false negative results.
The kit is designed with the broadest possible detection profile to ensure that all clinically relevant strains and subtypes are detected. Target sequences are selected by working with data from key opinion leaders in the field. Multiple sequence alignments and unprecedented real-time PCR expertise in design and validation ensure the best possible kit. Details of the target and priming specificity are included in the individual handbooks above.
