EndoG Monoclonal Antibody

EndoG Monoclonal Antibody

Catalog# : PM-4581

The fragmentation of nuclear DNA is a hallmark of apoptotic cell death. The activities of caspase and nuclease are involved in the DNA fragmentation. Caspase-activated deoxyribonuclease (CAD), also termed DNA fragmentation factor (DFF40), is one such nuclease, and is capable of inducing DNA fragmentation and chromatin condensation after cleavage by caspase-3 of its inhibitor ICAD/DFF45. Caspase and CAD independent DNA fragmentation also exists. Recent studies demonstrated that another nuclease, endonuclease G (EndoG), is specifically activated by apoptotic stimuli and is able to induce nucleosomal fragmentation of DNA independently of caspase and DFF/CAD. EndoG is a mitochondrion-specific nuclease that translocates to the nucleus and cleaves chromatin DNA during apoptosis. The homologue of mammalian EndoG is the first mitochondrial protein identified to be involved in apoptosis in C. elegans. EndoG also cleaves DNA in vitro.

DRAM Antibody

DRAM Antibody

Catalog# : 4035

Damage-regulated autophagy modulator (DRAM) is a p53 target gene encoding a lysosomal protein that induces autophagy, a process that degrades cytosolic proteins and organelles. It has been suggested that activation of DRAM by p53 is simultaneous to the activation by p53 of one or more proapoptotic genes such as PUMA, Bax, etc., and that the signaling pathways regulated by these genes together promote a full cell death response. By itself, DRAM cannot induce apoptosis, but the fact that it is inactivated in certain cancers highlights the importance of DRAM and suggests that autophagy may play a more important role in cancer than initially suspected. At least two different isoforms of DRAM are known to exist.

Low Copy Plasmid DNA MiniPrep

Low Copy Plasmid DNA MiniPrep

Catalog# : NB-17800
Price/Unit : $110.00
Unit : 25 preps
For the rapid purification of low copy plasmids

* High yield of low copy plasmid DNA
* Alcohol-free protocol
* Fast and easy processing

Bio-Synthesis's Low Copy Plasmid MiniPrep Kit is designed for the rapid preparation of low copy number plasmid DNA from small batch cultures of E. coli. The kit is able to purify 0.5 - 1 µg of low copy number plasmid DNA from 3 mL of bacterial culture. Purification of plasmids up to 14,000 bp in size have been verified.

Purification is based on spin column chromatography using Bio-Synthesis's proprietary resin as the separation matrix. Briefly, the bacteria harbouring the plasmid is pelleted and lysed, and the released plasmid DNA is bound to Bio-Synthesis's column in the presence of Binding Solution (BIND). Under these conditions only the DNA will bind to Bio-Synthesis's resin while most of the contaminating RNA and cellular proteinaceous components are removed in the flowthrough. The bound DNA is then washed to remove any remaining impurities (WASH). Lastly, the purified DNA is eluted into 30 - 50 µL of the provided Elution Buffer or water (ELUTE). Please see procedure flowchart to the right.

The kit purifies DNA without alcohols, a significant improvement over other techniques to achieve full compatibility with alcohol-sensitive applications. The purified DNA is free of genomic DNA, RNA and cellular proteins and is suitable for many downstream applications.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

* Fast and easy processing - Rapid spin-column format allows for the processing of multiple samples in 30 minutes.
* High yield - 0.5 to 1 µg of low copy number plasmid DNA can be purified from 3 mL of bacterial culture
* Recovered plasmid DNA is suitable for downstream applications - Purified plasmid DNA is fully compatible with restriction enzyme digestions, and manual or automated sequencing.
* Alcohol-free protocol - No alcohols are used during the purification process, thus the DNA is compatible with alcohol sensitive downstream applications.

* Available in 0.45 µm and 0.22 µm filter formats

Bio-Synthesis's Water RNA/DNA Purification Kit provides a convenient and rapid method for the detection of microorganisms from environmental water samples. The kit allows for the rapid isolation and purification of total RNA and DNA simultaneously from the microorganisms found in different types of water samples. The total RNA and DNA (including genomic DNA) are isolated from all the microorganisms found in the water, including bacteria, fungi and algae without the use of any inhibitory organic substances. The kit purifies genomic DNA, and all sizes of RNA, from large mRNA and ribosomal RNA down to microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA). The purified RNA and DNA are highly concentrated, and can be used directly in a number of downstream applications including real time PCR, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, Southern blotting and sequencing reactions.

Purification is based on spin column chromatography using Bio-Synthesis's proprietary resin as the separation matrix. Briefly, the microorganisms present in the water sample are collected using either a 0.22 µm Filter Column or a 0.45 µm Filter Column. The captured microorganisms are then lysed using a provided Bead Tube and Lysis Solution. Next, ethanol is added to the lysate and it is loaded onto a spin column (BIND). Under these conditions only the RNA and DNA will bind to Bio-Synthesis's resin, while the proteins and other contaminants are removed in the flowthrough. Next, an optional step can be carried out in which the genomic DNA can be digested allowing for a more pure RNA sample to be isolated. Alternatively, the RNA can be digested resulting in a more pure genomic DNA sample. The bound nucleic acid is then washed to remove any impurities (WASH). Lastly, the purified RNA and/or DNA is eluted with 50 µL of the provided Elution Buffer or water (ELUTE). Please see the procedure flowchart to the right.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

* Rapid isolation of DNA/RNA from microorganisms in non-turbid water samples –Only three buffers are required to complete isolation of total DNA and RNA from all microorganisms found in water, including bacteria, fungi and algae.
* Complete column purification - The RNA and DNA are both column purified simultaneously using the same column.

Total RNA was isolated from 50 mg samples of apple (red), peach (green), pine needle (blue) and grape leaves (burgundy) using Bio-Synthesis's Plant/Fungi Total RNA Purification Kit. Three µL of the eluted 50 µL of RNA was used in an RT-qPCR reaction for the detection of EF1-α. EF1-α was detected from all samples, indicating that the RNA is of high quality and that the Plant/Fungi RNA Purification kit is highly sensitive for total RNA isolation.

Figure 3. High Yield of Plant RNA Samples isolated from Apple, Peach and Pear. Total RNA was isolated using Bio-Synthesis's kit (Blue bars) and competitor’s kit (Green bars) from 50 mg of apple, peach and pear according to the provided manual. In each case the RNA was eluted into 50 µL. RNA yield was measured by spectrophotometer in triplicate, and the average concentration was used for data. Bio-Synthesis's kit resulted in higher yields of total RNA, including miRNA. Total processing time was less with Bio-Synthesis's kit than competitor’s kit.

DR4 Antibody

DR4 Antibody

Catalog# : 1139

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, occurs during normal cellular differentiation and development of multicellular organisms. Apoptosis is induced by certain cytokines including TNF and Fas ligand in the TNF family through their death domain containing receptors, TNFR1 and Fas. A novel death domain containing receptor was recently identified and designated DR4 (for death receptor 4). The ligand for this novel death receptor has been identified and termed TRAIL2,3, which is a new member in the TNF family. DR4 is also called TRAIL receptor-1 (TRAIL-R1). DR4 is expressed in most of human tissues including spleen, peripheral blood leukocytes, small intestine and thymus. Like TNFR1, Fas and DR3, DR4 mediates apoptosis and NF-kappaB activation in many tissues and cells.

DNase II Antibody

DNase II Antibody

Catalog# : 2059

Apoptosis is characterized by several morphological nuclear changes including chromatin condensation and nuclear fragmentation. These changes are triggered by the activation of members of caspase family, caspase activated DNase, and several novel proteins including AIF and Acinus . DNase II causes both chromatin condensation and DNA fragmentation . The genes encoding human (2-4), porcine (4), and murine (5) DNase II have been cloned. The DNase II gene encodes a 40 kDa proenzyme. The mature enzyme consists of two non-identical subunits, the 32 kDa (a) and 12 kDa (b) chains, generated by proteolytic processing. Overexpression of DNase II induces chromatin condensation (3). DNase II is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues.

DFF45 Antibody

DFF45 Antibody

Catalog# : 1148

Apoptosis is related to many diseases and induced by a family of cell death receptors and their ligands. Cell death signals are transduced by death domain containing adapter molecules and members of the caspase family of proteases. These death signals finally cause the degradation of chromosomal DNA by activated DNase. A human 45 kDa DNA fragmentation factor (DFF45) was identified recently that was cleaved by caspase-3 during apoptosis. Mouse homologue of human DFF45 was identified as a DNase inhibitor designated ICAD. DFF45/ICAD have short forms that were termed DFF35 and ICADs, respectively. Upon cleavage of DFF45/ICAD, the caspase activated deoxyribonuclease (DFF40/CAD) is released and activated and eventually causes the degradation of DNA in the nuclei. Therefore, the cleavage of DFF45/ICAD, which causes DFF40/CAD activation and DNA degradation, is the hallmark of apoptotic cell death.
