Product Manual QuickTiter Adenovirus Titer Immunoassay Kit Catalog Number VPK 109 100 assays FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY Not for use in diagnostic procedures CELL BIOLABS INC Creating Solutions for Life Science Research Introduction Recombinant adenoviruses have tremendous potential in both research and therapeutic applications There are numerous advantages they provide when introducing genetic material into host cells The permissive host cell range is very wide The virus has been used to infect many mammalian cell types both replicative and non replicative for high expression of the recombinant protein Recombinant adenoviruses are especially useful for gene transfer and protein expression in cell lines that have low transfection efficiency with liposome After entering cells the virus remains epichromosomal i e does not integrate into the host chromosome so does not activate or inactivate host genes Recently recombinant adenoviruses have been used to deliver RNAi into cells HEK 293 cells or their variants are used as host cells for viral amplification Recombinant adenoviruses can be grown at high titer 10 VP viral particles mL which can be concentrated up to 10P VP mL and purified by Cell Biolabs ViraBind Adenoviral Purification Kit or traditional CsCl ultracentrifugation A particular challenge in the delivery of a gene by a viral vector is the accurate measurement of virus titer Traditionally infectivi2. e c DN OU d ee ce VPK 106 QuickTiterTM Adenovirus Quantitation Kit VPK 110 QuickTiterTM Adenovirus Titer ELISA Kit VPK 111 Rapid RCA Assay Kit VPK 252 RAPAd CMV Adenoviral Expression System AD 100 293AD Cell Line VPK 099 ViraBind Adenovirus Miniprep Kit VPK 100 ViraBind Adenovirus Purification Kit AD 200 ViraDuctin Adenovirus Transduction Reagent VPK 112 QuickTiter Lentivirus Quantitation Kit 10 VPK 120 QuickTiter Retrovirus Quantitation Kit Kit Components pt de ee c Anti Hexon Antibody 1000X Part No 10901 One tube 30 uL Secondary Antibody HRP Conjugate 1000X Part No 10902 One tube 50 uL DAB Substrate 25X Part No 10903 One tube 1 5 mL Diluent 10X Part No 10905 Three tubes 1 5 mL each Ad gal Positive Control Part No 10904 One tube 50 uL at 1 0 x 10 ifu mL cm E Creating Solutions fo JN CELL BIOLABS INC Research Materials Not Supplied Recombinant adenovirus of interest HEK 293 cells and cell culture growth medium Methanol 1 BSA PBS H202 Light Microscope optional B Galactosidase Staining Kit Cat AKR 100 AO ODUA O e p O e oo Storage Upon receipt store the Ad B gal Positive Control at 80 C Store all other kit components at 4 C until their expiration dates Safety Considerations Remember that you will be working with samples containing infectious virus Follow the recommended NIH guidelines for all mater
