N-(Propargyl-PEG4-carbonyl)-N-bis(PEG1-methyl ester)

Overview

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

Hepatitis C virus infection is a major cause of chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) worldwide. Neither a vaccine nor an effective treatment is available for HCV. Pegylated interferon-α (PEG-IFN- α), combined with ribavirin, is the current standard therapy. Its efficiency ranges between 20-80%, depending on the HCV genotype. Unfortunately, many HCV infected patients do not respond to or do not tolerate the IFN-based therapy. Therefore, the number of patients progressing to HCC, as a result of HCV infection, is expected to increase over the next 20-30 years. The natural history of the disease reveals the elusive nature of the virus in a number of features. First, the infection is often detected incidentally at the time of blood donation as the acute infection is clinically asymptomatic in most patients. Second, HCV successfully escapes multi-specific host immune responses in the majority of patients which establishes persistent infection. Third, a significant number of persistently infected individuals remain unaware of the infection for decades, until liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and/or hepatocellular carcinoma develop.

RevTaq RT-PCR DNA polymerase is an engineered, extremely thermostable reverse transcriptase and combined DNA polymerase, obtained through directed, artificial evolution.

RevTaq RT-PCR DNA polymerase can be used similarly to Tth DNA polymerase also for reverse transcription, but does not require the addition of Mn2+ for RT-PCR, which simplifies assay setup and possible sample processing.

– half-life at 95°C of >40 min.

– fast start function due to a hotstart aptamer formulation which prevents unspecific amplification at lower temperatures (<57°C)

– facilitates “zero-step” RT-PCRs directly from RNA templates (without an isothermal reverse transcription step), as reverse transcription takes place simultaneously with DNA amplification during the cycled PCR elongation step.

– allows reverse transcription reactions at high temperatures, thus minimizing the problems encountered with strong secondary structures in RNA that melt at elevated temperatures.

– RevTaq RT-PCR DNA polymerase is the pure, reverse transcription active enzyme ingredient of our Volcano3G® RT-PCR Master Mixes

Please note: Due to the thermostable nature of the enzyme, it is recommended to design very high melting primers and probes (>65°C). See more details in FAQ.
