DESCRIPTION

This product is a recombinant type human ribonuclease inhibitor purified using a combination of ion exchange and affinity chromatography.
This inhibitor exhibits broad-spectrum RNase inhibitory properties, including RNase A, RNase B, RNase C and human placental RNase. Does not inhibit RNase T1, S1 nuclease, RNase from Aspergillus, and RNase H. The 50kDa protein exerts its inhibitory effect by noncovalently binding to RNases in a 1:1 ratio. This inhibitor can be applied to a reverse transcriptase reaction.

FEATURES

  • Stabilizes RNA in a cDNA synthesis or a RNA synthesis reaction.
  • Dees not inhibit SP6, T7 or T3 RNA Polymerase, AMV or M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase, or Taq DNA polymerase.
  • Exhibits broad-spectrum RNase inhibitory properties.
  • Active over a broad pH range (pH 5-8).

APPLICATIONS

  • cDNA synthesis, in vitro transcription, in vitro translation

SOURCE

E. coli strain carrying the cloned human placenta ribonuclease inhibitor gene

UNIT DEFINITION

STORAGE CONDITION

20 mM Hepes-KOH (pH 7.6), 50 mM KCl, 8 mM DTT, 50% Glycerol
Store at -20ºC

COMPONENTS

RNase inhibitor (20-40 U/µL)*

* Specific activity : approximately 100 U/µg protein

APPLICATION DATA

Example 1.Inhibition effect of RNase inhibitor on RT-PCR

Reverse transcription was performed with a random primer using total RNA from HeLa cells as a template with or without RNase inhibitor and RNase A. The results of amplification of human IL-8 genes from the cDNA suggest that the addition of RNase inhibitor to the reverse transcription step effectively and efficiently protects mRNA.
