Production and evaluation of egg derived hot start antibodies

BACKGROUND: Hot start can greatly improve specificity, sensitivity and yield of PCR. Non-specific amplification can occur in PCR when reaction mixture is prepared at room temperature, because Taq DNA polymerase is active and the primers can hybridize non-specifically. Hot start Taq DNA polymerases remain...

A simple and efficient method for extraction of Taq DNA polymerase

Electron. j. biotechnol; 18 (5), 2015
Background Thermostable DNA polymerase (Taq Pol ?) from Thermus aquaticus has been widely used in PCR, which was usually extracted with Pluthero's method. The method used ammonium sulfate to precipitate the enzyme, and it saved effort and money but not time. Moreover, we found that 30-40% activity of Taq...

Monitoramento de doença residual mínima em leucemia mielóide crônica por PCR em tempo real: [revisão]
Monitoring minimal residual disease in chronic myeloid leukemia by real time PCR: [review]

O monitoramento de doença residual mínima (DRM) em leucemia mielóide crônica é extremamente importante, pois possibilita o diagnóstico precoce de eventuais recidivas da doença. Este estudo visa apresentar uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a aplicação e a avaliação da eficácia do método de PC...

Production of recombinant enzymes of wide use for research

For biotechnological purposes, protein expression refers to the directed synthesis of large amounts of desired proteins. The aim of the present work was to produce reverse transcriptase Moloney murine Leukaemia Virus retro-transcriptase and Taq DNA polymerase, as bioactive products. In the present paper,...
