T7-Scribe™Standard RNA IVT kit

T7-Scribe and SP6-Scribe Standard RNA IVT kits are specially formulated to utilise high concentrations of NTPs that are inhibitory to other in vitro transcription systems. For the production of in vitro transcribed RNA with T7/SP6 RNA polymerase (depending on kit) and canonical (GAUC) NTPs. A reaction produces 150 µg RNA from 1 µg DNA in 2 hours.

Description

  • Synthesize up to 150 µg of uridine-containing IVT RNA (U-RNA) from 1 µg of template in two hours.
  • Produce high yields of either long or short transcripts.
  • Easily scale up reactions to produce milligram amounts of U-RNA.
  • ScriptGuard™ RNase Inhibitor included to protect synthesized RNA from RNase degradation.

Product Description:

The T7-Scribe™ Standard RNA IVT Kit is specially formulated to produce high yields of canonical uridine-containing RNA (U-RNA) from an in vitro transcription (IVT) reaction. Although yield varies with the DNA template and other factors, a standard two hour, 20 μl reaction will yield up to 150 μg of RNA from 1 μg of the control template and can be easily scaled up to produce milligram amounts of U-RNA. These yields are made possible by the high-performance properties of the T7-Scribe™ enzyme. The T7-Scribe™ Standard RNA IVT Kit produces high yields of either long or short transcripts and can be readily modified to prepare fluorescent-, biotinylated- or digoxigenin-labeled RNA. ScriptGuard™ RNase Inhibitor is included in the kit to protect synthesized RNA from RNase degradation.

T7-Scribe™ IVT U-RNA can be further processed into U-mRNA (5'-end capped and 3'-end poly[A] tailed) through the use of CELLSCRIPT™'s ScriptCap™ Cap 1 Capping System (contains both ScriptCap™ Capping Enzyme and 2'-O-Methyltransferase) and A-Plus™ Poly(A) Polymerase Tailing Kit (available separately).

For reduction of immunogenicity, combine U-mRNA with the Min-Immune™ Gold dsRNA Removal Kit to produce virtually dsRNA-free (to <0.005% of sample [LLOQ]), ultra-low immunogenicity mRNA that is suitable for downstream applications such as cell and gene therapy research and mRNA vaccine development. CELLSCRIPT™ also offers the INCOGNITO™ line of products to produce low immunogenicity mRNA containing the modified nucleotides N1-methyl-pseudouridine, pseudouridine and/or 5-methyl-cytidine.

Product Performance:

The standard two hour, 20 μl reaction will yield up to 150 μg of RNA from 1 μg of the control template. However, lower amounts of DNA template can be used successfully in a T7-Scribe™ reaction. Table 1 summarizes the yields obtained when reducing the amount of control template DNA in a T7-Scribe™ reaction. Results may vary depending on the template used. Increasing the reaction time to four to six hours may increase the yield of RNA.
