Influenza virus infection of birds, humans and other animals is a major public health problem worldwide. Influenza viruses are classified as either type A, B or C based on differences in their nucleoproteins and matrix proteins. The type A viruses are the most virulent human pathogens among the three influenza types and cause the most severe disease and epidemics. The different types can be further classified into subtypes based on antigenic differences in two surface glycoproteins; hemagglutinin and neuroamidase. All known subtypes of influenza A can be found in birds (H1-H16, N1-N9), while a limited number of the subtypes have been found in humans (H1-H3, N1 and N2). However, over the past few years, various subtypes of Influenza A viruses, including H5N1, have been reported to infect humans (WHO, 2006). In addition, the coexistence of human influenza viruses and avian influenza viruses may provide an opportunity for genetic material to be exchanged between these viruses. This could potentially create a new virulent influenza strain that is easily transmissible and lethal to humans (Food Safety Research Information Office, 2006). Thus, there is the need for sensitive diagnostic tests to allow for the rapid and early detection of these H5 influenza virus infections, to help reduce the risk of epidemics or pandemics in both animals and humans.

A custom designed PACE® Genotyping Assay, designed to your target sequence. Compatible with all PACE genotyping master mixes.
PACE (PCR Allelic Competitive Extension) genotyping chemistry is a homogeneous, PCR-based allele-specific technology for the analysis of DNA sequence variants, most commonly SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) and Indels (insertion / deletions).
PACE genotyping chemistry is comprised of two parts:
When combined with sample DNA, these components create a PACE Genotyping Reaction, as illustrated in the figure below.
We have extensive knowledge and experience in assay design, especially when it comes to allele-specific PCR. PACE Genotyping Assays are available to purchase either Validated and Unvalidated. Validated assays require customer DNA to validate and optimise, for guaranteed performance. Unvalidated assays are designed in silico and supplied untested.

Norgen’s FBS Exosome Depletion Kits provides a quick and easy protocol for the depletion of bovine exosomes from FBS prior to using it as a growth supplement in your culture medium. The FBS recovered from the depletion process is exosome-depleted and does not contain any quantifiable bovine miRNAs. Moreover, the exosome-depleted FBS will support the growth of your cells of interest similar to the non-depleted FBS. Norgen’s kits allow for the processing of different FBS volumes. The depletion is based on Norgen’s proprietary resin. These kits provide a clear advantage over other available kits in that they do not require ultracentrifugation, any special instrumentation, precipitation reagents or any protease treatments. More importantly, the depletion process is an inexpensive method for exosome depletion from FBS, as compared to the expensive current ready-to-use exosome-depleted media available on the market.
Background
Most culture medium used for the growth and propagation of cells in culture require the addition of fetal bovine serum (FBS) as a growth supplement to media. FBS is obtained from bovine (cow) serum, and therefore contains large quantities of bovine exosome vesicles. These exosomes may interfere with some types of studies, or may lead to unreliable results when studying the exosomes shed from your cells of interest in normal culture conditions. Therefore, the use of exosome-depleted FBS is highly recommended for many types of studies.
