Product Description:
The INCOGNITO™ T7-FlashScribe™ N1meΨ-RNA Transcription Kit is
specially formulated to maximize yields of
N1-methyl-pseudouridine-containing RNA (N1meΨ-RNA) from an in vitro
transcription (IVT) reaction. Although yield varies with the DNA
template and other factors, a standard one hour, 20 μl reaction will
yield up to 160 μg of RNA from 1 μg of DNA template. These high yields
are due to the superior performance properties of the T7-FlashScribe™
enzyme. The standard reaction can be scaled up to generate milligram
amounts of RNA containing the canonical nucleotides ATP, CTP, GTP and
the modified nucleotide N1-methyl-pseudouridine-5'-triphosphate
(N1meΨTP).
Modified N1meΨ-mRNAs translate into higher protein levels and lower
innate immune responses in human and other mammalian cells that express
various RNA sensors as compared to unmodified mRNAs.
INCOGNITO™ T7 IVT N1meΨ-RNA can be further processed into low
immunogenicity 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 maximum reduction of immunogenicity, follow production of
INCOGNITO™ N1meΨ-mRNA with dsRNA removal from your sample using the Min-Immune™ Gold dsRNA Removal Kit
to produce virtually dsRNA-free, ultra-low immunogenicity mRNA that is
suitable for downstream applications such as cell and gene therapy
research and mRNA vaccine development.
Product Performance:
The standard 60 minute, 20 μl reaction was optimized for
transcription using 1 µg of linearized DNA template. However, incubation
times can be adjusted if desired. Table 1 summarizes transcription
results with 1 µg of the control template DNA in a standard reaction
with incubation times from 20-120 minutes. Results may vary depending on
the template used.

20-120 minutes. The standard protocol uses an incubation time of 60
minutes.

Troubleshooting guide:
|
Symptom |
Solution |
|
Low yields or less than full-length transcripts |
Cleanup the templates to remove any RNase or other contaminants. |
|
Verify that ScriptGuard™ RNase Inhibitor was added to the reaction. |
Extend the incubation time.
Do not extend the reaction time beyond 4 hours. |
|
Increase the template concentration. |
|
Increase the reaction temperature to 42oC. |
|
Check for stable secondary structure (Tm >37oC) in the DNA template which can cause T7 RNAP pausing or dissociation from the template. |
|
Assembled reaction formed an insoluble precipitate |
Repeat assembly of the reaction at >22oC. |
|
White precipitate in reaction buffer |
Incubate the reaction buffer at 37oC for 5 minutes then mix thoroughly to dissolve the precipitate. |
|
Do not store the kit at –70oC. |
