Products Introduction This product is a premixed system consisting of a new high efficient fast DNA Polymerase, Mg2+, dNTPs, and PCR stabilizers and enhancers at 2× concentration. It is a new rapid DNA polymerase developed by CombiSigma with high amplification speed and stability. The extension speed is up to 5 s/kb, and the PCR can be completed in as little as 15 minutes, while longer fragments (>3 kb) or complex templates can be extended at a speed of 10-30 s/kb or a higher number of cycles. The unique MasterMix formula makes the whole reaction system very stable, while complex templates can be amplified effectively, and more than 98% of PCR amplification can be successful in one run. Simply add the DNA template and primers and top up with water to minimize human error, contamination and time.The dye (blue) has been added to the product and it is ready for electrophoretic detection at the end of the reaction. The PCR product is amplified with an 'A' base at the 3′ end and can therefore be used directly for T/A cloning and is suitable for use in the CombiVerge Seamless Cloning Kit, T4 Ligation Kit and sensory products.This product is mainly suitable for ultra-fast PCR, complex templates, complex secondary structures, gene cloning and large-scale genetic testing that requires high fidelity. quality control No exogenous nuclease activity was detected; no host residual DNA was detected by PCR; single-copy genes in various genomes could be amplified efficiently. UsageThe following is an example of a PCR reaction system and reaction conditions for amplifying a 1 kb fragment using human genomic DNA as a template, which should be improved and optimized according to the template, primer structure and size of the target fragment in actual operation.PCR reaction system Note: Please use the final concentration of 0.1-1.0 µM as a reference for setting the range of primer concentration. If the amplification efficiency is not high, the primer concentration can be increased; if a non-specific reaction occurs, the primer concentration can be decreased to optimize the reaction system.PCR reaction conditions Note: 1) Note: For simple templates, the pre-denaturation time can be controlled at 30 s-1 min, for complex templates such as bacterial fluids, the pre-denaturation time can be increased to 2 min.Optimization of parameter settings 1. Template DNA amount setting:Excessive amounts of template may result in non-specific amplification or smear. The recommended amount of template DNA in a 50 µl PCR reaction system is as follows:-Human genomic DNA 5 ng-500 ng-Escherichia coli genomic DNA 50 pg-100 ng-plasmid DNA 10 pg-1 ng 1. 30-35 number of cycles2. Primer concentration setting: The primer concentration can be set between 0.1 µM and 1.0 µM. A low primer concentration may result in low amplification products. Too high a primer concentration will inhibit specific amplification and may result in non-specific amplification.3. Annealing temperature setting: In general, the annealing temperature is 5℃ lower than the melting temperature of amplification primer Tm, so the annealing temperature can be lowered appropriately when the desired amplification efficiency cannot be obtained; the annealing temperature can be raised appropriately when non-specific reaction occurs. For complex templates, it is necessary to adjust the annealing temperature to achieve efficient amplification.4. Extension time setting: The extension time should be set according to the size of the amplified fragments. The following extension times are recommended: simple templates such as plasmids: 5-15 s/kb; regular genomes, cDNA templates: 10-15 s/kb; complex templates, crude templates: 20-30 s/kb; (the extension time should not be too short and should be at least 5 s/kb, but should not exceed 30 s/kb).5. Number of cycles: The number of cycles can be set according to the downstream application of the amplified product. If the number of cycles is too low, the amount of amplification will be insufficient; if the number of cycles is too high, the chance of mismatch will increase and the non-specific background will be serious. Therefore, the number of cycles should be minimized under the premise of ensuring the product yield...

It is produced during activation of both the classical and lectin pathways of complement. C4a is a member of the anaphylatoxin family of three proteins (C3a, C4a and C5a) produced by the activation of complement (Hugli, T.E. et al. (1981)). It is an unglycosylated polypeptidecontaining 77 amino acids with a molecular mass of 8,759 daltons. Many of the biological functions of C4a are similar to those of C3a, but the specific activities are far below those of C3a. C4a activity is so low, in fact, that it was initially thought to be inactive. These measured activities include inducing muscle contraction in the guinea pig ileum test (spasmogenic activity), desensitization of muscle to C3a stimulation suggesting that the same receptor for both C3a and C4a is involved (tachyphylactic activity) and inducing vascular permeability in human skin (Gorski J.P. et al. (1979)). C4a does not show tachyphylactic activity against C5a or chemotactic activity. Removal of the C-terminal arginine by serum carboxypeptidase N destroys all these activities (Meuller-Ortiz, S.L., et al. (2009)). C4a appears to act through the C3a receptor (C3aR) which is a G-protein coupled receptor found widely distributed on peripheral tissues, lymphoid cells (neutrohphils, monocyes, and eosinophils) and in the central nervous system (astrocytes, neurons and glial cells) (Law, S.K.A. and Reid, K.B.M. (1995)). Physical Characteristics & StructureMolecular weight: 8,759 calculated molecular mass. Observed mass (MALDI-TOF) is 8,762 + 9 mass units. pI = 9.0 to 9.5 (Gorski, J.P. et al. (1981))Amino acid sequence (77 amino acids): NVNFQKAINE KLGQYASPTA KRCCQDGVTR LPMMRSCEQR AARVQQPDCR EPFLSCCQFA ESLRKKSRDK GQAGLQRC4a is thought to be structurally very similar to C3a and C5a to which it is homologous. Thus its 3D structure is probably similar to the X-ray-derived crystal structureof C3a (Huber, R. et al. (1980)) and the NMR derived structure of C3a: Nettesheim, D.G. et al. (1988); Murray, I. et al. (1999).FunctionSee General Description above. C4a exhibits much weaker biological activities than C3a and C5a. Its activity in inducing erythema and edema in human skin is 25,000-fold weaker than that of C5a and 100-fold weaker than C3a per nanomole. The spasmogenic activity of C4a is 2000-fold weaker than C5a and 100-fold weaker than that of C3a. Due to these differences the role of C4a in these responses in vivo is thought to be negligible.AssaysTwo well established assays for C4a and C3a functional activities include induction of contraction in the guinea pig ileum and the permeation of a dye such as trypan blue from the vasculature into skin. The anaphylatoxins also induce mast cell degranulation, (measured as histamine release), platelet aggregation, IL-1 release from monocytes and the release of prostaglandins and leukotrienes from many cells and tissues. The other assays used for C3a (Dodds, A.W. and Sim, R.B. (1997)) should also respond to C4a, but few reports have described utilizing these assays with C4a. ELISA kits for the assay of C4a levels (or more correctly C4a desArg levels) in blood and other fluids are sold by several companies. These measurements are useful for detecting complement activation in vivo, but the interpretation of their meaning is complicated by the fact that clearance of the anaphylatoxins is rapid. In vivoFreshly drawn normal human serum contains significant levels of all three anaphylatoxins. Although these may represent the resting concentration in vivo it is difficult to draw or store blood without some complement activation so a true in vivo concentration is difficult to determine. The presence of EDTA and Futhan in the collection tubes can minimize this background (Pfeifer, P.H. et al. (1999)). Full activation of all C4 in blood (600µg/mL) would result in ~3,400 nM C4a (~30 µg/mL). Due to the low biological activity of C4a it could require activation of most of the C4 in a small region to achieve the micromolar C4a concentrations necessary to elicit a response.RegulationC4a levels are regulated by three processes: formation, inactivation and clearance. There are two enzymes that cleave C4 and release C4a: C1s and MASP-2. C4a is “inactivated” by removal of its C-terminal arginine amino acid. The product C4a desArg (or C4a without the C-terminal arginine) is produced by the action of the plasma enzyme carboxypeptidase N (Mueller-Ortiz S.L. et al. (2009)). The inactivation is rapid and most C4a is converted to C4a desArg within minutes of its formation. Inactivated C4a lack measurable biological activity. Because of the large number of cells bearing C3a/C4areceptors (endothelial, immune, smooth muscle, neuronal, etc.) the capture, internalization and digestion of C4a and C4a desArg probably results in its removal from circulation.DeficienciesA deficiency of C4 or a deficiency of all of the enzymes that cleave C4 to generate C4a could result in the absence of C4a. There are no known complete deficiencies of all ofthe C4 cleaving enzymes. Examples of C4 deficient humans and mice exist (Wessels, M.R. et al. (1995)), but the degree to which pathologies associated with C4 deficiency are due to the lack of C4 or the absence of C4a is unclear. DiseasesThere are no known diseases connected to C4a or C4a desArg. Precautions/Toxicity/HazardsThe source of C4a is human serum, therefore appropriate precautions must be observed even though the source was shown by certified tests to be negative for HBsAg, HTLV-I/II, STS, and for antibodies to HCV, HIV-1 and HIV-II.Injection can cause anaphylatic shock which is a generalized circulatory collapse similar to that caused by an allergic reaction.Hazard Code: B WGK Germany 3...

HMGB1 is a DNA-binding nuclear protein,Purity:>90%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Coomassie® Blue Staining.Description: High-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1), also known as HMG-1 or amphoterin previously, is a member of the HMGB family consisting of three members, HMGB1, HMGB2, and HMGB3. HMGB1 is a DNA-binding nuclear protein, released actively following cytokine stimulation as well as passively during cell death. It is the prototypic damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecule and has been implicated in several inflammatory disorders. HMGB1 signals via the receptor for advanced glycation end-product (RAGE) and members of the toll-like receptor (TLR) family. The most prominent HMGB1 protein and mRNA expression arthritis are present in pannus regions, where synovial tissue invades articular cartilage and bone. HMGB1 promotes the activity of proteolytic enzymes, and osteoclasts need HMGB1 for functional maturation. As a non-histone nuclear protein, HMGB1 has a dual function. Inside the cell, HMGB1 binds DNA, regulating transcription, and determining chromosomal architecture. Outside the cell, HMGB1 can serve as an alarmin to activate the innate system and mediate a wide range of physiological and pathological responses. Extracellular HMGB1 represents an optimal " necrotic marker" selected by the innate immune system to recognize tissue damage and initiate reparative responses. However, extracellular HMGB1 also acts as a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine that contributes to the pathogenesis of diverse inflammatory and infectious disorders. HMGB1 has been successfully therapeutically targeted in multiple preclinical models of infectious and sterile diseases including arthritis. As shown in studies on patients as well as animal models, HMGB1 can play an important role in the pathogenesis of the rheumatic disease, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and polymyositis among others. Besides, enhanced postmyocardial infarction remodeling in type 1 diabetes mellitus was partially mediated by HMGB1 activation... Read More |
