USB HotStart-IT® Method: Primer Sequestration

USB HotStart-IT® provides researchers with a complete line of robust, sensitive and specific reagents for hot start PCR, qPCR, and qRT-PCR. Rely on USB HotStart-IT® to

provide premium quality and consistency for your most critical and routine PCR applications.

HotStart-IT® Taq DNA Polymerase uses a novel hot start method called primer sequestration. In general, hot start PCR methods reduce or eliminate non-specific primer-extension products formed at lower temperatures during assembly of PCR reactions. At these less stringent annealing temperatures, primers can bind non- specifically, which often leads to unwanted amplification products and primer-dimers. USB HotStart-IT® uses a recombinant protein which binds and sequesters primers at lower temperatures making them unavail-able for use by Taq DNA Polymerase. This primer-sequestration technique effectively blocks DNA synthesis from mispriming events at lower temperatures. Following the initial denaturing step during PCR, the protein is inactivated and the primers are free to participate in the amplification reaction. This novel hot start method enhances PCR reactions by increasing both specificity and yield.

USB products having the Tested User FriendlyTM brand are functionally tested in a

specific application with a buffer and protocol. The tested buffer and protocol accompany each product, providing time-saving convenience and reducing the number of variables which could hinder your most critical experiments. Many TUF qualified enzymes are supplied with a reaction buffer and functionally tested enzyme dilution buffer.

HotStart-IT® SYBR® Green qPCR Master Mix is supplied as a 2X pre-mixed formulation containing HotStart-IT® Taq DNA Polymerase,

MgCl2, Ultrapure nucleotides, and SYBR® Green I for use in real-time quantitative PCR reactions (qPCR). The SYBR® Green I dye detects any double-stranded DNA that accumulates during the amplification process. The hot start feature increases sensitivity and specificity of SYBR®-based qPCR by reducing the formation of primer-dimers and non-specific products. Simply add DNA template, primers, and water and the reactions are ready for cycling. Separate tubes of the

passive reference dyes, ROX™ and fluorescein, are included for added convenience.

GAPDH Assay using HotStart-IT® SYBR® Green qPCR Master Mix (PN 75762). Triplicate reactions were performed with a cloned region of the human GAPDH gene as template using an ABI 7500 Fast instrument. The non-specific dsDNA binding dye, SYBR® Green I, was used to detect the 122 bp amplicon and ROXTM was used as a passive reference dye. The amplification process was linear over eight orders of magnitude and a single copy of the target could be efficiently detected.

HotStart-IT® Probe qPCR Master Mix (2X) 75766 100 reactions (50 µl rctn vol) $140.00 500 reactions (50 µl rctn vol) $595.00

HotStart-IT® Probe qPCR Master Mix is supplied as a 2X premixed formulation containing HotStart-IT® Taq DNA Polymerase, MgCl2, and Ultrapure nucleotides for use in real-time quantitative PCR reactions (qPCR) with fluorescent probes. Since fluorescent probes are designed to hybridize to the target of interest, detection specificity is greatly increased relative to non-specific dsDNA binding dyes such as SYBR® Green I. The Taq DNA Polymerase used in the master mix has the 5'→3' exonuclease activity necessary for efficient removal of the 5'-fluorophore from the 3'-quencher in TaqMan® probes.

HotStart-IT® Probe qPCR Master Mix is supplied as a 2X premixed formulation containing HotStart-IT® Taq DNA Polymerase, heat-labile UDG, MgCl2, and Ultrapure nucleotides with an optimized dUTP to dTTP ratio for use in real-time quantitative PCR reactions (qPCR) with fluorescent probes. The UDG in the master mix eliminates at least 105 copies of dUTP-containing contaminating template. Use of fluorescent probes designed to hybridize to targets of interest increase detection specificity relative to non-specific dsDNA binding dyes such as SYBR® Green I. The Taq

qPCR with carryover preventionHotStart-IT® qPCR Master Mixes with UDG are supplied as 2X pre-mixed formulations containing HotStart-IT® Taq DNA Polymerase, MgCl2, Ultrapure nucleotides with an optimized dUTP to dTTP ratio, and heat-labile UDG for use in real-time quantitative PCR reactions (qPCR) with either fluorescent probes or SYBR® Green Dye. Since the mix contains dUTP and UDG, carry-over contamination prevention can be performed, which is especially important for high throughput applications.(1) The dUTP in the mix ensures that products which contain uracil are destroyed prior to subsequent amplification reactions by the enzymatic activity of the Uracil-DNA Glycosylase (UDG). A heat-labile version of UDG that is irreversibly heat-inactivated is used instead of E. coli UDG, which has been shown to exhibit residual activity following PCR reactions.(2) After the initial denaturating step, the UDG is inactivated, and only the desired target sequences without dUTP are amplified. Simply add DNA template, primers, probe(s) and water and the reactions are ready for cycling. A separate tube of ROXTM Passive Reference Dye and/or fluorescein is included for added convenience.

The First-Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit for Real-Time PCR is optimized for reverse transcription of RNAs and produces first-strand cDNA template suitable for real-time PCR. This kit includes an optimized Primer Mix which results in the generation of first-strand cDNAs from an entire transcript without the end-bias observed with typical oligo(dT)n or random hexamer primers. This mixed primer strategy overcomes variability in real-time PCR gene expression analysis that can result from using different individual primers. For convenience, anchored oligo(dT)23VN and random hexamer primers are also included.

• Robust Performance: Optimized to reliably generate cDNAs from full-length transcripts longer than 12 kb to be used in real-time PCR reactions.

• Sensitive: Mixed priming strategy overcomes 5' and/or 3' end bias associated with typical oligo(dT)n or random hexamer priming strategies, allowing sensitive and reliable real-time RT-PCR analysis of multiple user-defined targets from as little as 10 pg of starting total RNA.

• Consistent Performance: Optimized for generating first-strand cDNA to be used in real-time PCR. HeLa total RNA and primers for qPCR are included as a positive control.

• Versatile: Three different priming strategies are provided to meet experimental needs. Gene-specific primers (GSP) may also be used (not included).

The Primer Mix solution greatly reduces bias for sequences near the 5' and/or 3' ends of cDNAs produced. The β-glucuronidase (GUSB) mRNA was reverse transcribed from 100 ng of HeLa cell total RNA using (A) Random Hexamers, (B) Anchored Oligo(dT)23VN, or (C) the Primer Mix. Amplicons located near the 5' end (red) or 3' end (green) of the GUSB transcript were amplified by real-time PCR (on an ABI 7500 Fast instrument) using 1 µl of each reverse transcription reaction in 20 µl real-time PCR reactions (in duplicate) and HotStart-IT® SYBR® Green qPCR Master Mix (PN 75762).

First-Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit for Real-Time PCR

Assay Flexibility and Consistent Priming Strategies. The First-Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit for Real-Time PCR has been optimized for assay flexibility in carrying out reverse transcription using various priming strategies and diverse RNA templates. (A) Clathrin (NM_004859) and (B) Utrophin (NM_007124) amplicons were amplified using gene specific primers designed for real-time PCR (brown arrows). Reverse transcription was performed using HeLa cell total RNA (100 ng) and three different priming strategies: Anchored Oligo dT23VN primer (red), Random Hexamers (blue), and Primer Mix (green). 1 µl of each reverse transcription reaction was then used in 20 µl real-time PCR reactions on an ABI 7500 Fast instrument using HotStart-IT® SYBR® Green qPCR Master Mix (PN 75762).

Assay Sensitivity and Dynamic Range. Various amounts of HeLa cell total RNA, ranging from 850 ng down to 10 pg, were reverse transcribed using anchored oligo(dT)23VN as the primer. 1 µl of each reverse transcription reaction was then used in 20 µl real-time PCR reactions (in duplicate) to amplify a 122 bp GAPDH amplicon (on an ABI 7500 Fast instrument), using HotStart-IT® SYBR® Green qPCR Master Mix (PN 75762). GAPDH amplification and linear correlation curve above show the wide dynamic range and sensitivity of the First-Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit for Real-Time PCR.
