| Application: | DIG-High Prime-labeled DNA probes has been used in a variety of hybridization techniques : • in Southern blots • in northern blots • in dot/slot blots • for screening of gene libraries • in In situ hybridizations Due to highly specific and sensitive detection systems, DIG-labeled DNA probes can be used for single-copy gene detection in 1μg total human DNA. The use of the alkali-labile form of DIG-dUTP, in which the digoxigenin moiety is connected to the spacer arm via an alkali-labile ester bond, enables easier and more efficient stripping and reprobing of blots. |
| Features and Benefits: | DIG-High Prime guarantees efficient labeling of: • DNA amounts ranging from 10ng to 3μg in a standard reaction. • DNA of different lengths ranging from small restriction fragments to λ or cosmid DNA. • DNA, supercoiled or linearized. • DNA in low melting-point agarose. Labeling efficiency: A standard labeling reaction with 1μg template yields 0.8μg newly synthesized digoxigenin-labeled DNA after 1 hour, and 2μg after a 20-hour incubation at +37°C. Contents 5x concentrated random primer mix: 1U/ μl Klenow polymerase, labeling grade, 1mM dATP, 1mM dCTP, 1mM dGTP, 0.65mM dTTP, 0.35mM DIG-11-dUTP, alkali labile in 50% (v/v) glycerol. |
| General description: | DIG-High Prime has enzyme and nucleotide mixture for rapid random-primed labeling of DNA with Digoxigenin-11-dUTP. In this method, the complementary DNA strand of denatured DNA is synthesized by Klenow polymerase using the 3′-OH termini of the random oligonucleotides as primers. DIG-labeled probes are generated at high yield within one hour or after overnight incubation. |
| General description: | We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product is designed as a safer chemical. The DIG System was established as a sensitive and cost-effective alternative to radioactivity for the labeling and detection of nucleic acids. There are many available publications that prove the versatility of the DIG System, so use of radio-labeling is no longer the only option for labeling of DNA for hybridization. |
| Other Notes: | For life science research only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. |
| Preparation Note: | DIG-labeled probes in the reaction mix or in the hybridization buffer are stable for more than 12 months stored at -15 to -25°C. They can be reused several times if freshly denatured before use. Assay Time: 80 minutes Sample Materials • DNA fragments of at least 100bp • Linearized plasmid, cosmid or λDNA • Supercoiled DNA • Or minimal amounts of DNA (10ng), e.g., DNA restriction fragments isolated from gels or in molten agarose Note: To obtain optimal results, template DNA should be linearized and should have a size of = 100bp or larger. Template DNA > 5kb should be restriction-digested using a 4bp cutter prior to labeling. |
| Principle: | DIG-labeled DNA probes are generated with DIG-High Prime according to the random-primed labeling technique. DIG-High Prime is a specifically developed reaction mixture containing Digoxigenin-11-dUTP and all reagents necessary for random-primed labeling, including Klenow enzyme, premixed in an optimized 5x concentrated reaction buffer in 50% glycerol. |
| Quality: | Function test: In a standard assay with 1μg linearized pBR 328, 0.8μg of DIG-labeled DNA is synthesized after 1 hour, and 2.3μg after 20 hours. When this labeled DNA is used for hybridization at a concentration of 20ng/ml, 0.03pg homologous DNA are detected by chemiluminescence with the anti-DIG-alkaline phosphatase conjugate and CSPD on a dot or Southern blot. |
| Specificity: | Heat inactivation: Stop the reaction by adding 2 μl 0.2 M EDTA (pH 8.0) and/or by heating to 65 °C for 10 minutes. |
