Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Licenses OriGene TrueClone Collection

“We believe that full-length cDNAs isolated from cDNA libraries are the most reliable source of authentic coding regions for our critical applications." said Drew Murphy, Vice President of Target Discovery for Regeneron. "The OriGene True Clone collection has proven to be an excellent source of full-length human cDNAs for use in Regeneron's protein expression and target validation platforms."

TOTAL AND POLY A+ RNA

Which strain of mouse is the source for mouse RNAs?
Which strain of rat is the source for the rat RNAs?
How are the total RNAs isolated?
How are mRNAs isolated?
Are the RNAs subjected to DNase treatment?
I need some RNA from an odd tissue and it is not listed in your catalogue. Can you supply such RNA?

Which strain of mouse is the source for mouse RNAs?

All mouse RNA are isolated from Balb/c mice, age 6-8 weeks. OriGenes Mouse Northern blots are also prepared from such mice.

Which strain of rat is the source for the rat RNAs?

All rat RNA are isolated from Sprague Dawley rats, age 6-8 weeks.

How are the total RNAs isolated?

Total RNAs are isolated from snap-frozen tissues by the traditional extraction with guanidine thiocyanate/phenol method.

How are mRNAs isolated?

All mRNAs are isolated from total RNA by oligo-dT affinity method. Each batch of mRNA are twice-purified then quality controlled by denaturing agarose gel and Northern hybridization.

Are the RNAs subjected to DNase treatment?

No. No DNase digestions are done. For users of total RNA, you may want to treat the RNA with DNase to ensure the removal of trace amount of genomic DNA. For users of polyA+ RNA, there should be no worry for genomic RNA contamination. Double purification with oligo-dT affinity method makes the mRNA virtually DNA-free.
