It is a DNA polymerase that uses single stranded RNA or DNA as template to synthesize complementary DNA strands in the presence of primers. It is one of the most widely used reverse transcriptase.sApplication：First strand cDNA synthesis using total RNA or mRNA as template; DNA probe labeling with fluorescence, biotin, digoxin or isotope; RNA analysis by primer extension.This product is highly cost-effective. The RT II M-MLV reverse transcriptase (RNase H-) is a recombinant reverse transcriptase expressed and purified from E. coli transformed with the expression plasmids carrying the pol gene fragment of M-MLV with RNase H coding region removed. The enzyme has been engineered to have better thermal stability and higher reverse transcription activity.Definition of enzyme activity: One unit of the enzyme incorporates 1nmol of dTTP into acid-precipitable material in 10 min at 37℃ using poly(A)•oligo(dT)12-18 as template-primer. The reaction system contains 50mM Tris-HCl (pH8.3), 75mM KCl, 3mM MgCl2, 10mM DTT, 0.5mM [3H]-dTTP and 0.4 mM poly(A)•oligo(dT)12-18.Purity: Free from DNA endonuclease, DNA exonuclease, phosphoesterase and RNase.Enzyme storage buffer: 20mM Tris-HCl (pH7.5), 300mM NaCl, 0.1mM EDTA, 1mM DTT, 0.01%(v/v) NP-40 and 50% (v/v) glycerol.Inactivation or inhibition: RT II M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase (RNase H-) can be inactivated by incubation at 80ºC for 10 minutes, or inhibited by EDTA, EGTA, inorganic phosphates, pyrophosphates and polyamine.This product has high reverse transcription activity, and is able to synthesize long cDNA.

Not for drug, household, or other uses.For your safety and health, please wear lab coat and disposable gloves during the operation.Instructions for Use：1. First-strand cDNA synthesis.a. Set up the first-strand cDNA synthesis reaction in a nuclease-free PCR tube on ice or at room temperature as follows. RNase Inhibitor and dNTP mix can be purchased from.

If the volume of dNTP is not 0.8µl, adjust the volume of DEPC-treated water accordingly.*** If gene specific primers or Oligo(dT)18 primers are used to reverse transcribe the cDNA over 5kb, the volume of RT II M-MLV reverse transcriptase (RNase H-) should be increased to 2µl.b. Mix the reaction by vortex or pipetting gently, centrifuge briefly to allow liquid to accumulate at the bottom of PCR tube.c. Incubate the reaction at 42ºC for 60min if Oligo(dT)18 primer or gene-specific primer is used. If random hexamer is used, carry out incubation at 25℃ for 10min, followed by incubation at 42℃ for 60min. Note: For RNA template with high GC content or secondary structures, incubate the reaction at 50℃ for 60min in order to improve the reverse transcription efficiency.d. Stop the reverse transcription by incubating the reaction at 80ºC for 10min to inactivate RT II M-MLV reverse transcriptase (RNase H-). Note: Heat-inactivation of reverse transcriptase is not recommended for long cDNA over 5kb, as this method may cause shearing of long cDNA fragments. In such a case, phenol-chloroform extraction or column purification can be considered.e. The reverse transcription products can be used directly for subsequent experiments such as PCR, or stored at -20℃ for future use. We recommend using 2µl reverse transcription products in a PCR reaction volume of 50µl.2. For other applications such as primer extension and probe labeling, please refer to reference related to M-MuLV reverse transcriptase (RNase H-).FAQ：1. The reverse transcription product of total RNA is invisible after electrophoresis.It is a normal phenomena, because the amount of RNA template is low, and the amount of reverse transcription products in different size is even lower. 2. No specific product can be amplified from the reverse transcription product.a. To exclude the problem of PCR reaction system or reverse transcription product, use gene-specific primers to amplify internal reference genes, such as actin and GAPDH. If reference genes can be amplified but not the target gene, it indicates primers of target gene are not well designed, the expression of the target gene is too low to be detected, or the reverse transcription efficiency is low. b. Template RNA may be degraded. The integrity of total RNA can be checked by agarose gel or on-chip electrophoresis. Intact total RNA exhibits sharp, clear 28S and 18S rRNA bands, and the 28S rRNA band should be approximately twice as intense as the the 18S rRNA band. A ratio less than 2 indicates the degradation of total RNA and new total RNA should be prepared. c. RNA samples may contain some components that inhibit the activity of reverse transcriptase. Those contaminants include phenol, SDS, EDTA, guanidine salts, phosphoric acid, pyrophosphoric acid, polyamine, and spermidine etc, which can be removed effectively by column purification or precipitation, washing, and redissolution. Total RNA extracted by Zol (, #R0011) or Trizol (, #R0016) usually can meet the requirements of reverse transcription.d. Insufficient templates for reverse transcription. When DNase I used to remove the residual DNA in RNA sample is subjected to heat-inactivation prior to reverse transcription, EDTA should be added to RNA sample at a final concentration of 2.5mM to protect RNA from degradation under high temperature. Additionally, to amplify a specific gene, it is necessary to extract RNA from tissues in which the target gene is highly expressed. e. Inappropriate primer is used for reverse transcription. Random hexamer instead of Oligo(dT)18 should be used for the reverse transcription of bacterial total RNA which does not have poly(A) tails. Gene-specific primers used for reverse transcription must be well designed.f. For RNA template with high GC content or secondary structures, increase the reverse transcription temperature to 45-50℃ to improve the reverse transcription efficiency...

It is a secreted phosphoglycoprotein that belongs to the clade F subfamily, serpin superfamily of proteinase inhibitors. The PEDF is a noninhibitory serpin with neurotrophic, anti-angiogenic, and anti-tumorigenic properties. It is synthesized as a 418 a.a. about 50kDa precursor that contains a 19 a.a. signal sequence and a 399 a.a. mature region that shows a pyroglutamate at Gln20. Like other serpins, it contains three β-sheets, 810 α-helices, and a C-terminal RCL (reactive center loop). Unlike other serpins with Ser protease inhibiting activity. PEDF has functions of inducing extensive neuronal differentiation in retinoblastoma cells, inhibiting of angiogenesis. As it does not undergo the S (stressed) to R (relaxed) conformational transition characteristic of active serpins, it exhibits no serine protease inhibitory activity. PEDF is researched as a therapeutic candidate for treatment of such conditions as choroidal neovascularization, heart disease, and cancer... Read More |
