Applications
- High-yield synthesis of RNA from DNA cloned downstream from a T7, T3, or
SP6 RNA polymerase promoter, for microinjection, RNA interference, or antisense
experiments.
- Structural and functional studies of splicing, processing, heterogeneous
nuclear RNAs, tRNAs, viral RNAs, and ribozymes.1
- Production of fluorescent2-, biotinylated3-, or digoxigenin4-
labeled RNA.
The AmpliScribe™ T7, T3, and SP6 High Yield Transcription Kits are specially
formulated to use high concentrations of NTPs, that can be inhibitory to other in vitro transcription
systems. AmpliScribe High Yield Transcription reactions can produce >20-fold
more full-length RNA transcript than conventional in vitro transcription
reactions. For example, the AmpliScribe T7 Kit yields approximately 5-7.5 mg/ml
of 1.4-kb full-length control RNA in 30-120 minutes, respectively, using 1 µg
of template DNA (Fig. 1).
Benefits
- High yields of RNA from all templates—synthesize both long (Fig.
2) and short RNA using only one kit.5 Produce microgram amounts
of RNA from as little as 1 ng of template.
- Reactions can be scaled up to produce milligram amounts of RNA.
- Produce >20 times more RNA than conventional or "homemade" in
vitro transcription reactions.
- RNase inhibitor included.
Notes:
- Use AmpliCap™ High Yield Message Maker Kits for efficient production
of RNA with an m7G[5´]ppp[5´]G cap structure on
the 5´ end.
- Because of the very high concentration of NTPs used in AmpliScribe reactions,
these kits are not recommended for preparing high specific-activity radiolabeled
RNA probes.
