Detection method: allelic discrimination
This in vitro diagnostic kit is intended for detection of mutations rs429358 and rs7412 in the gene for APOE in human genomic DNA. It enables determination of e2 (cys112, cys158), e3 (cys112, arg158) and e4 (arg112, arg158) genotypes. Examination process is based on a principle of real-time PCR with the use of fluorescently labelled probes (allelic discrimination).
Apolipoprotein E is an important structural component of particles transporting cholesterol (VLDL, HDL) and is a ligand of cell receptors found mainly in the brain and the liver. The apolipoprotein E gene occurs in three forms of alleles, e2, e3 and e4, which code for protein isoforms E2, E3 and E4 respectively. These isoforms characteristically have amino-acids
at positions 112 and 158.
Isoform E3, coded by the e3 allele, is predominantly present in the population (wild-type), and carries cysteine and arginine amino-acids at positions 112 and 158 respectively. There are three homozygous (e2/e2, e3/e3 and e4/e4) and three heterozygous (e2/e3, e3/e4, e2/e4) genotypes present in the population. The e2 allele is associated with the occurrence of type III hyperlipoproteinemia. Isoform E2, coded by this allele, has significantly lower affinition to lipoprotein receptors, compared to isoforms E3 and E4. Individuals carrying this isoform suffer from higher level of triacylglycerols in their plasma. The E4 allele increases LDL cholesterol level and thus is a risk factor of atherosclerosis. In its homozygous form this allele is also connected with the development of the idiopathic form of Alzheimer’s disease. E2 allele is related to a lower risk of occurrence of this disease.

Kit for isolation of DNA from body fluids The DNA extraction kit includes DNA purification step and enables achieving highly pure genomic DNA from samples of whole blood, serum, plasma, buccal swab and urine. Moreover, viral DNA can be efficiently isolated from these types of samples as well. High DNA yields, reproducible results and fast working method are guaranteed.
Why choose alternative dyes instead of "genuine" dyes? First, they are cheaper, and second, they can give the same results. Another reason is that the number of suppliers who can provide modified oligonucleotides is restricted - only a patent or a licence owner is usually allowed to produce them.
Background Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host. For instance, probiotics can be used in the treatment and prevention of infections and chronic inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. Due to their health attributes, probiotics generate considerable interest in the area of functional
The avermectins compose a class of polycyclic lactones that are used to treat parasitic worms and insect pests. They are naturally occurring compounds generated in a fermentation process by a soil actinomycete Streptomyces avermitilis.
Biodistribution (BD) studies are critical components when assessing the preclinical safety evaluation of cell and gene therapy molecules. BD analysis is generally conducted at the molecular level using a methodology that provides high sensitivity.
