The JC Virus BIO-PROBE® labeled probe is prepared by nick translation of a clone of the entire JC virus genome. JC virus, a member of the papovavirus family, usually causes subclinical infections. However, in immunocompromised individuals it can cause a fatal demyelinating brain disease, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. JC virus is also neurooncogenic in primates. Fragment size range: 100-1000 base pairs (as estimated by agarose gel electrophoresis).
Product Details
Concentration:
20µg/ml
Formulation:
Liquid. In 10mM TRIS HCl, pH 7.5, containing 1mM EDTA.
Applications:
Dot Blot, ISH (in situ hybridization), Northern Blot, Southern Blot
Application Notes:
The JC Virus BIO-PROBE® labeled probe can be used in a variety of hybridization techniques, including Southern blots, Northern blots or dot blots, at a concentration of approximately 50ng/ml. The probe can also be used for in situ hybridization applications at concentrations of approximately 0.5 to 5μg/ml. Biotinylated probes have been shown to hybridize to homologous DNA at the same rate and to the same extent as non-biotinylated probes.The hybridized biotinylated DNA probe can be detected by its interaction with biotin-binding proteins, such as avidin, streptavidin or antibodies coupled to fluorescent dyes or color producing enzymes. Complete kits and protocols are available for in situ hybridization and detection procedures (compatible with Enzo’s POLYVIEW® PLUS and SAVIEW® PLUS detection systems for IHC).
