Product Description:
Covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) is the natural form of most plasmids, it is also a key replicative intermediate in the life cycles of some viruses like HBV. In higher organisms including human, cccDNA is called extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA)，which play a role in eliciting innate immune responses, mediating cell-to-cell communication, advancing genetic heterogeneity, compensating for genetic loss, aging, regulating gene expression and molecular sponging. In addition, cell-free eccDNAs in circulating system could be used as novel biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of cancer.
(1) The isolation of cccDNA from non-cccDNA is crucial to study cccDNA. Various isolation methods have been reported. Several techniques exploit the structural differences between chromosomal and circular DNA and separate them by SDS lysis-salt precipitation (2) or high-speed ultracentrifugation in cesium-chloride gradients (3). Most methods encompass extraction of total DNA purification followed by several rounds of enzymatic elimination of non-cccDNA and a final step of cccDNA extractions. The enzyme used includes exonuclease III which digest linear and open circular forms of DNA (4) , Plasmid-Safe DNase (5 -7) which preferentially hydrolyzes double-stranded linear DNA (dslDNA) and, with a lower efficiency, linear and closed circular single-stranded DNAs (ssDNAs), a combination of exonuclease I and exonuclease III which degrade DNA strands with free 3′ ends (8),and T5 Exonuclease (9),which specifically digest nicked double-stranded circular DNA. This product is designed to purify cccDNAs from total DNA samples or partially purified cccDNA samples.
Product Features:
- One step of extraction, simple to perform.
- Minimal non-cccDNA contamination.
- Maximal cccDNA recovery rate.
- No enzymatic digestion.
- Applicable to cccDNA of any size.
- Compatible with silica-based purification (in both column format and magnetic beads format).
- Enough for 100 times of purification.
- Research use only.
Kit Contents:
| Component | CAT#:220502 |
|---|---|
| cccDNA Extraction Solution A | 100 mL |
| cccDNA Extraction Solution B* | 30 mL |
| cccDNA Precipitation Solution* | 100 mL |
*For a kit with only cccDNA Extraction Solution A, check out CAT#220501
Input Sample Requirements:
-
Highly suggest to use SDS-proteinase K digestion and alcohol precipitation method to isolated total DNA since proteinase K can release cccDNA from possible covalent link to proteins. In addition, alcohol precipitation can recover non-exclusively both non-cccDNA and cccDNA.
-
To avoid the nicking of cccDNA by residual DNase in total DNA preparation, perform cccDNA purification immediately after total DNA isolation, or quick-freeze total DNA preparation immediately and store at –80°C until cccDNA isolation.
- Total DNA should be dissolved in DNase-free water or TE solution, not in other solvent, otherwise a trial experiment is needed to test the compatibility of this solvent and this kit.
Storage and Handling:
Store the kit at 4°C. The kit is stable for at least one year from date of receipt.
