Applications

  • High-yield synthesis of RNA from DNA cloned downstream from a T7 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 High Yield Transcription Kit is 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).

Features

  • High yield. Produce microgram amounts of RNA from all templates—synthesize both long (Fig. 2) and short RNA using only one kit.5
  • Sensitive. Produce microgram amounts of RNA from as little as 1 ng of template.
  • Scaleable. Increase the reaction size to produce milligram amounts of RNA.
  • Flexible. Substitute a labeled nucleotide for one of the supplied NTP solutions.
  • Convenient. Rnase inhibitor included.

NoteBecause of the very high concentration of NTPs used in AmpliScribe reactions, these kits are not recommended for preparing high specific-activity radiolabeled RNA probes.
