CLONEGEN BIOTECHNOLOGY : PRODUCTS

NUCLEIC ACID ANALYSIS PRODUCTS

CloneGen Biotechnology specializes in nucleic acid analysis products, especially analysis products.It provids a range of optimized products for gene expression studies quantitation of nucleic acid.Several of the products are described in the publications of CloneGen Biotechnology founder, Ajit Srivastava,Ph.D., FAHA. Some of them are :   Srivastava, RAK: Bio/Techniques 1991; 11:584-588; Srivastava, RAK: Bio/Techniques 1990; 9:689-693; Srivastava, RAK: Biochim. Biophys. Acta. 1991; 1090: 95-101; Srivastava, RAK: Biochem & Mol Biol Intern. 1992; 27:85-95; Srivastava, RAK: Methods in Mol Biol 1994, 31: 273-279; Srivastava, RAK: Methods in Mol Biol 1994, 31: 281-288; Srivastava, RAK: Methods in Mol Biol 1998; 86:103-112

MOLECULAR BIOLOGY REAGENTS

CloneGen Biotech’s reagents are used for the isolation and quantitation of messenger RNA. The Northern blotting gel shows the quality of RNA reagents as determined by the ratios of 28S and 18S ribosomal RNA. The blot was probed using CloneGen Biotech’s reagents using apolipoprtoein A1 and apolipoprotein E  that shows the integrity of these mRNAs.  The quality of the RNA size markers and reagents in handling in vitro synthesized RNAs in an RNAse protection assay.

 MOLECULAR BIOLOGY KITS

Molecular biology kits in the analysis of RNA.  Two separate preparations of plasmid were restriction digested and resolved in an agarose gel and visualized under UV light. . A low abundance mRNA, SR-B1 mRNA, was quantitated by Northern blotting and by RNAse protection assay using CloneGen Biotech’s reagents.

MOLECULAR BIOLOGY PRODUCTS

CloneGen Biotech provides high quality RNA prepared from various tissues of normal and disease animal models. Currently RNA are available from mouse, rat, hamster and rabbit, and also from mouse models of diabetes and obesity.  The quality of linearized recombinant plasmid used as a template for in vitro transcription, and the quality of the newly transcribed RNA used for the quantitation of messenger RNA. The detection of a large mRNA species of 14 kb, suggesting that the quality of RNA was so good that even the large mRNA remain undegraded.The quality of RNA from various tissues of mouse blotted on nylon membrane and probed with apoE riboprobe.

PROTEIN ANALYSIS PRODUCT

CloneGen Biotech has produced antibodies against a number of blood and cell proteins used both as research tools to ask important biologic questions as well as to use as biomarker for human diseases. In addition to providing antibodies for a range of proteins, CloneGen Biotech also provides services to academic institutions and industries for raising antibodies against specific proteins.
