<strong>Nucleic</strong> <strong>Acid</strong> <strong>Isolation</strong><br />
<strong>Isolation</strong> of Pure, Intact mRNA<br />
High quality, full length mRNA is necessary for meaningful results in any gene<br />
expression study. Therefore choosing the optimal mRNA sample preparation<br />
method is essential. Magnetic separation with Dynabeads ® Oligo(dT) 25 is a<br />
simple and rapid method to obtain pure, intact mRNA without any DNA or<br />
rRNA contamination (fig. 1).<br />
Main Advantages of Dynabeads ® mRNA <strong>Isolation</strong>:<br />
• Easy-to-use protocol.<br />
• mRNA isolation in only 15 minutes.<br />
• No centrifugation or precipitation.<br />
• Easily adaptable to most robotic systems.<br />
• Isolated mRNA representative and comparable to total RNA.<br />
The scalable protocols consist of only a few steps of pipetting and magnetic<br />
separation, with all operations performed in a single tube. This significantly<br />
reduces the risk of RNase contamination and loss of precious mRNA. The<br />
mRNA isolation protocols are scalable to meet your specific needs. Because<br />
the oligo-dT residues are covalently linked to the surface of the beads, the<br />
Dynabeads ® Oligo(dT) 25 can, if desired, be regenerated and reused at least<br />
four times.<br />
The mRNA isolation protocols do not require any centrifugation or<br />
precipitation steps. The method is therefore perfect for automation, and can<br />
be implemented on most liquid handling robotic platforms (see page 76).<br />
Choosing the Right Product<br />
Dynal Biotech supplies a variety of products and kits for isolation of mRNA, all<br />
with Dynabeads ® Oligo(dT) 25 as the key component (fig. 2). Up to 10 µg mRNA<br />
can be isolated per ml of Dynabeads ® Oligo(dT) 25 , assuming regeneration<br />
of the beads. The final yield will depend on tissue and cell type and the<br />
expression level of the mRNA.<br />

Direct mRNA isolation with the Dynabeads ® mRNA DIRECT Kit* (Product<br />
no. 610.11/12) takes only 15 minutes from start to finish. The starting<br />
sample can be crude extracts of animal tissues, plants and cells. This new<br />
and improved kit contains 5 times more Dynabeads ® Oligo(dT) 25 .<br />
The protocol and kit format of the Dynabeads ® mRNA DIRECT Micro Kit<br />
(Product no. 610.21) is adjusted to small sample requirements, providing<br />
a fast and reliable way to combine direct mRNA isolation followed by direct<br />
RT-PCR amplification.<br />
The mRNA can alternatively be purified from total RNA with the Dynabeads ®<br />
mRNA Purification Kit (Product no. 610.06). A typical mammalian cell<br />
contains about 10 pg of total RNA, of which 1-5 % is mRNA.<br />
Dynabeads ® Oligo(dT) 25 (Product No. 610.02/05/50) is the main component<br />
in all of the above mentioned kits and is also available as a stand-alone<br />
product. The ease and speed of magnetic isolation and handling of mRNA<br />
provide a superior alternative to traditional methods.<br />
Isolate mRNA from Any Sample!<br />
As documented in a large number of scientific publications, Dynabeads ®<br />
Oligo(dT) 25 have been used to isolate mRNA from virtually any cell or tissue<br />
sample. Effective cell lysis and rapid handling make it possible to isolate<br />
mRNA from tough samples such as yeast cells, plant material with high<br />
starch and/or RNase content, paraffin-embedded tissues and even directly<br />
from human whole blood.<br />
The table on the facing page (table 2), lists some of the many different sample<br />
types where Dynabeads ® Oligo(dT) 25 have been used to isolate mRNA directly<br />
from a crude starting sample (all information from published literature).<br />

A Wide Variety of mRNA Applications<br />
mRNA from Pure Cell Populations<br />
Molecular analyses are increasingly employed at the resolution of pure cell<br />
populations. Data from such homogeneous cell samples are much more<br />
informative than that from larger samples of mixed cells.<br />
As shown in the diagram on page 70, Dynabeads ® -based technology allows<br />
the combined isolation of pure cells, nucleic acids and proteins from the<br />
same sample.<br />
Dynal Biotech offers a wide range of Dynabeads ® pre-coated with specific<br />
antibodies against the major types of blood cells (chapter 3). In addition to the<br />
pre-coated Dynabeads ® , secondary-coated or surface activated Dynabeads ®<br />
can easily be coupled with your choice of antibody to isolate any specific cell<br />
type. This offers the unique possibility of combining separation of specific<br />
cell populations with mRNA isolation for downstream analysis (fig. 3).<br />
The scalable magnetic mRNA isolation technology simplifies automation of<br />
sample preparation protocols (fig. 4).<br />
mRNA from Single Cells<br />
It is often necessary or desirable to analyse gene expression with sensitivity at<br />
the single cell level, particularly if the amount of available material is sparse.<br />
Specific examples include embryology, neurology, stem cell studies, studies<br />
of small solid tumours or circulating micrometastatic cells, or cells obtained<br />
from fine needle aspirates or laser capture microdissection.<br />
Dynabeads ® -based technology enables molecular characterisation even down<br />
to single-cell profiling (fig. 5). Further examples of single cell profiling include<br />
the work by Karrer et al. Starting from single tomato epidermal cells, they<br />
isolated mRNA for construction of cDNA libraries (1). Klein et al. combined<br />
transcriptome and genome analysis of single micrometastatic cells using<br />
Dynabeads ® Oligo(dT) 25 (2).<br />
As described in chapter 3, pure cells for gene expression analysis can be<br />
obtained using cell-specific Dynabeads ® . Dynabeads ® Epithelial Enrich have<br />
been used to capture a single epithelial cancer cell spiked into 1 ml of blood.<br />
The mRNA was isolated from the positively isolated cell using Dynabeads ®<br />
Oligo(dT) 25 , reverse transcribed into a solid-phase cDNA library and the<br />
carcinoma cell specific transcripts CK19 and EPCAM detected by solid-phase<br />
RT-PCR. Konishi et al. have used Dynabeads ® to isolate single live human<br />
neurons (3).<br />

mRNA for cDNA Libraries<br />
Dynabeads ® Oligo(dT) 25 are particularly useful for the construction of cDNA<br />
libraries (fig. 6), which can be used for cDNA amplification, cDNA cloning,<br />
RACE experiments and subtractive hybridisation.<br />
When preparing a solid-phase cDNA library, the mRNA is first captured<br />
onto the Dynabeads ® Oligo(dT) 25 . The beads are then added directly to the<br />
RT-reaction, where the bead-bound oligo-dT residues act as primers for<br />
first strand cDNA synthesis. As the operations take place on a solid-phase,<br />
changing of buffers is fast, simple and effective.<br />
The patented Dynabeads ® solid-phase cDNA synthesis technology is<br />
compatible with various commercially available cDNA synthesis kits. The<br />
beads do not inhibit enzymatic reactions, and bead-bound mRNA can be<br />
added directly to the RT-reaction without any diluting elution steps. Without<br />
eluting the mRNA from the beads prior to RT-PCR amplification, large numbers<br />
of cell clones can be rapidly screened for their expression of any gene. This<br />
makes it possible to generate solid-phase cDNA libraries even from a single<br />
cell (1). In addition, because the first strand cDNA is covalently linked to<br />
the beads, the cDNA library can be regenerated and reused for an almost<br />
unlimited number of times.<br />
mRNA for RT-PCR and Real-Time PCR<br />
Dynabeads ® Oligo(dT) 25 and the Dynabeads ® mRNA DIRECT Micro Kit<br />
offer a fast, simple and reliable way to combine mRNA isolation and RT-PCR<br />
or real-time PCR. The isolated mRNA is DNA-free as working with very small<br />
numbers of cells limits DNA contamination.<br />
Dynabeads ® Oligo(dT) 25 can be applied directly to PCR (or any other enzymatic<br />
reactions) as the presence of the beads does not inhibit or reduce the<br />
enzymatic activity. This is because the iron is sealed inside the Dynabeads ®<br />
by an inert polymer shell that prevents leakage and inhibition of enzymes.<br />
The benefit of adding the beads to the RT-PCR is that elution, and thereby<br />
dilution, of the mRNA is avoided. Dynabeads ® Oligo(dT) 25 also have negligible<br />
autofluorescence, and can therefore be applied directly in real-time PCR<br />
instruments such as the ABI Prism ® 7000 without interfering with the results<br />
of the analysis.<br />
mRNA for Northern Blotting<br />
Only 1-5% of the total cytoplasmic RNA in a typical eukaryotic cell is mature<br />
mRNA, and many transcripts occur in medium to low abundance. Using<br />
mRNA rather than total RNA for your Northern analysis will result in cleaner<br />
and more sensitive results. The highly purified and intact mRNA isolated<br />
with Dynabeads ® Oligo(dT) 25 is ideal for Northern blotting, and gives reduced<br />
background and increased intensity of signals (fig. 7).<br />
The mRNA can either be isolated directly from the cells or tissue with<br />
Dynabeads ® Oligo(dT) 25 or one of the Dynabeads ® mRNA DIRECT kits,<br />
or from total RNA with the Dynbeads ® mRNA Purification Kit. The kits are<br />
flexible and scalable to fit any sample size, and are therefore particularly<br />
useful for preparation of mRNA for Northern blotting from small amounts of<br />
sample material.<br />

mRNA for Microarrays<br />
Dynabeads ® Oligo(dT) 25 are perfect for purifying mRNA for expression profiling<br />
applications. Direct mRNA isolation eliminates the background noise often<br />
observed when preparing cDNA probes from purified total RNA.<br />
The hybridisation kinetics between mRNA and the Dynabeads ® are extremely<br />
fast and efficient, and comparable to that of free solution hybridisation. This<br />
ensures negligible loss of the precious mRNA.<br />
The many types of arrays/chips commercially available require different<br />
quantities of mRNA. The possibility of scaling the isolation protocols allows<br />
you to isolate mRNA from any quantity of cells. Dynabeads ® Oligo(dT) 25 can<br />
therefore be used to prepare the amount of mRNA required for any type of<br />
micro- and macroarrays or chips (one example is shown in fig. 8). Please<br />
contact Technical Support or go to www.dynalbiotech.com for a list of<br />
references where Dynabeads ® have been used to prepare mRNA for various<br />
types of analysis.<br />
mRNA in Automated Protocols and IVD Assays<br />
Sample preparation with Dynabeads ® Oligo(dT) 25 facilitates efficient mRNA<br />
concentration. No centrifugation or precipitation steps are required, as<br />
washing and buffer-changes are easily accomplished by the use of a magnet.<br />
The scalable magnetic mRNA isolation protocols are perfect for automation<br />
and can be implemented on most liquid handling robotic platforms (fig. 9).<br />
For further information on the available protocols, please contact Technical<br />
Support or visit our web-site at www.dynalbiotech.com.<br />
The unique uniformity of size, surface area and superparamagnetic properties<br />
of the Dynabeads ® are not merely for cosmetic benefit. These properties are<br />
also the basis for optimal accessibility and reaction kinetics, in turn enabling<br />
rapid, yet sensitive, and reliable capture of mRNA. The beads do not inhibit<br />
enzymatic activity, and bead-bound mRNA can be included in downstream<br />
magnetic handling as well as detection assays.<br />
The uniform characteristics and low batch-to-batch variation of the<br />
Dynabeads ® allow our customers to cut costs in their internal QC-testing,<br />
without compromising the reproducibility or quality of the results.<br />
ViroLogic, Inc. (San Francisco, CA, USA) uses Dynabeads ® Oligo(dT) 25 in<br />
their advancement in the fields of individualised medicine and pharmacogenomics.<br />
In addition to being a service company, ViroLogic, Inc. discovers<br />
and develops innovative products used by pharmaceutical companies to<br />
guide and improve treatment of serious viral diseases such as AIDS and<br />
hepatitis. Their fast and sensitive PhenoSense technology is used for<br />
assessing phenotypic drug resistance and susceptibility in viruses that cause<br />
these diseases. For general information on the availability of Dynabeads ®<br />

A Variety of Sample Types and Downstream<br />
Applications<br />
DNA from Bacteria<br />
Dynabeads ® DNA DIRECT Universal are particularly useful for rapid isolation<br />
of bacterial genomic DNA from bacterial cultures, and also for isolating DNA<br />
from bacteria in food, clinical or environmental samples.<br />
Specific examples include: Listeria monocytogenes in milk, Leptospira<br />
interrogans in blood, cyanobacteria in water samples, Neisseria meningitidis,<br />
Haemophilus influenza, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus agalactiae,<br />
Listeria monocytogenes and E. coli in cerebrospinal fluid and blood, (fig. 12)<br />
and Mycobacterium tuberculosis in lung and lymph node tissue. For a<br />
complete reference list, please visit www.dynalbiotech.com.<br />
DNA from Blood<br />
DNA isolation kits from Dynal Biotech are suitable for isolation of DNA from<br />
blood.<br />
Dynabeads ® DNA DIRECT Universal are recommended for the rapid isolation<br />
of DNA from small volumes, or even finger-prick samples, of blood. One test<br />
will isolate 600 ng - 1 µg DNA from a 30 µl blood sample, sufficient for 30-50<br />
PCR amplifications. The protocol can be fully automated on most liquid<br />
handling robots.<br />
The Dynabeads ® DNA DIRECT Blood kit isolates DNA from up to 0.5 ml<br />
blood samples in less than 15 minutes. One test provides enough template<br />
DNA for up to 1,000 PCR amplifications. The protocol is amenable to semiautomation<br />
as it includes only one centrifugation step.<br />
Dynabeads ® Genomic DNA Blood kit isolates DNA from 200 µl fresh blood<br />
and typically yields between 6-9 µg DNA per sample depending on the<br />
number of white blood cells in the blood sample. The protocol is ideal for<br />
walk-away automation.<br />
DNA from Other Clinical Samples<br />
Dynabeads ® DNA DIRECT Universal is excellent for the rapid isolation of DNA<br />
from small amounts of solid tumours, mouth wash (fig. 13), buccal scrapes,<br />
urine, bile and faeces. After DNA isolation, the beads can be added directly<br />
to the PCR without prior elution. The excellent sensitivity allows isolation of<br />
DNA even from single cells.<br />

Dynabeads ® Streptavidin for Superior<br />
Results<br />
Dynabeads ® with recombinant streptavidin covalently attached to the bead-<br />
surface enable efficient isolation and handling of any biotinylated target<br />
molecule (fig. 15). The very high binding affinity of the streptavidin-biotin<br />
interaction (K D = 10 -15 ) is utilised in a vast number of molecular applications.<br />
Some of these applications are described on the following pages.<br />
Main Advantages of Dynabeads ® Streptavidin:<br />
• Flexible solid-phase protocols with liquid-phase reaction kinetics.<br />
• Direct and fast capture of any biotinylated target.<br />
• High batch-to-batch reproducibility gives consistent results in your<br />
application.<br />
• Biomagnetic protocols are easily adapted to automated platforms.<br />
The streptavidin-coupled Dynabeads ® are coated with a monolayer - not a<br />
multilayer - of recombinant streptavidin. This leaves the vast majority of the<br />
biotin binding sites sterically available for binding, not only of free biotin,<br />
but also for binding of biotinylated ligands/targets.<br />
The absence of excess physically adsorbed streptavidin ensures that only a<br />
negligible amount of streptavidin will be able to leak. Batch-to-batch variability<br />
is minimised, and the reproducibility of your results is optimised.<br />
Choosing the Right Product<br />
Three different streptavidin-coupled Dynabeads ® are available to meet the<br />
requirements of different applications. Dynabeads ® M-270 Streptavidin and<br />
Dynabeads ® MyOne Streptavidin C1 are particularly suitable for nucleic acid<br />
applications (table 4). Their negatively charged hydrophilic surface (at pH 7)<br />
ensures negligible non-specific binding of irrelevant nucleic acids. Lysis in GTC<br />
buffers with the beads present is possible, and the beads also show minimal<br />
aggregation in high salt buffers used, for example, for hybridisation.<br />
Dynabeads ® M-270 Streptavidin (Product no. 653.05/06/07)<br />
2.8 µm medium to high capacity beads ideal for applications such as<br />
preparation of single-stranded DNA, SAGE, and solid-phase hybridisation<br />
(fig. 16). The production of Dynabeads ® M-270 Streptavidin follows a<br />
validated process in compliance with the cGMP for medical devices.<br />
Dynabeads ® MyOne Streptavidin C1 (Product no. 650.01/02/03)<br />
1.0 µm ultra-high capacity beads ideal for molecular displays and nucleic<br />
acid assays. The small size, combined with the characteristic shape,<br />
(fig. 17), gives a very high surface area. This means high capacity for the<br />
corresponding target molecule and maximum signal generation. The beads<br />
have a high iron content that ensures rapid magnetic separation. The<br />
uniform size, low sedimentation rate and high magnetic mobility together<br />
make these beads the optimal choice for any automated application.<br />

Selected Dynabeads ® Streptavidin<br />
Applications<br />
Over the last 15 years, streptavidin-coupled Dynabeads ® have been used in<br />
a large number of labs for a wide range of applications, several of which are<br />
covered by patents or patent-applications.<br />
The biotin-streptavidin linkage system is extremely flexible and can be used<br />
to capture almost any biotinylated target for a wide variety of downstream<br />
applications. On the following pages we present some of the key applications<br />
for which Dynabeads ® Streptavidin are used.<br />
Preparing Single-Stranded DNA Templates<br />
The immobilisation of a double-stranded PCR product for preparation of<br />
two single-stranded DNA templates is maybe the most widely used protocol<br />
for Dynabeads ® Streptavidin. A PCR product is first generated by using one<br />
biotinylated PCR primer, then the PCR product is immobilised onto the beads<br />
for convenient separation of the biotinylated and non-biotinylated strands<br />
using a magnet (fig. 19).<br />
The streptavidin-coupled Dynabeads ® will not inhibit enzymatic activity. This<br />
enables further handling and manipulation of the bead-bound DNA to be<br />
performed directly on the solid-phase.<br />
Both the immobilised and the eluted single-stranded DNA template can<br />
be used in downstream applications such as MALDI-MS, pyrosequencing<br />
technology and SNP analysis, as well as single-strand conformation<br />
polymorphism (SSCP), solid-phase DNA sequencing, DNA chips, primer<br />
extension and other molecular techniques.<br />

Isolating RNA and DNA Binding Proteins<br />
Certain DNA and RNA binding proteins have been shown to be associated<br />
with specific genetic diseases. These often short-lived and low abundance<br />
regulatory proteins are considered to be potential drug targets.<br />
Sequence-specific DNA/RNA binding proteins are rapidly and efficiently<br />
isolated using Dynabeads ® Streptavidin, providing a superior and wellestablished<br />
alternative to affinity chromatography methods (fig. 20). The<br />
biotin labelled DNA/RNA sequence of interest is immobilised onto the beads<br />
and incubated with the cell extract. The proteins that bind to the sequence<br />
are isolated using magnetic separation. The protein can then be eluted off<br />
and characterised, or the bead-DNA/RNA-protein complexes can be applied<br />
directly in DNase footprinting studies.<br />
Dynabeads ® Streptavidin are recommended for this application, due to the<br />
very low non-specific binding of proteins to these beads. As described below,<br />
the dedicated Dynabeads ® kilobaseBINDER Kit is recommended for the<br />
immobilisation of larger DNA fragments.<br />
Immobilising Large DNA Fragments<br />
The amount of biotinylated DNA immobilised to Dynabeads ® Streptavidin<br />
will depend on fragment size. Due to steric hindrance, the binding efficiency<br />
is significantly reduced when the fragment size exceeds 2 kb. The specially<br />
designed Dynabeads ® kilobaseBINDER Kit (Product no. 601.01) includes<br />
a patented immobilisation activator, significantly increasing the binding<br />
efficiency of large dsDNA fragments (fig. 18).<br />
This product has proven useful for innovative applications in cell biology,<br />
including: chromatin beads mimicking chromosomes for studying selforganisation<br />
of microtubules into bipolar spindles (fig. 21), synthetic nuclei<br />
for studying RNA export from the nucleus in vitro, reconstitution of nuclear<br />
movement along microtubules and examination of the molecular basis of this<br />
movement in vitro.<br />

Ordering Information<br />
Specific Capture of <strong>Nucleic</strong> <strong>Acid</strong>s<br />
Double-stranded DNA fragments immobilised to Dynabeads ® Streptavidin<br />
are easily converted to single-stranded DNA templates or probes (fig. 19).<br />
The bead-bound sequences can then be used for solid-phase hybridisation<br />
capture of specific DNA/RNA sequences (fig. 22).<br />
Streptavidin-coupled Dynabeads ® provide an efficient solid-phase alternative<br />
to nitrocellulose. An inherent benefit of magnetic handling is that downstream<br />
manipulations and buffer changes can be done by simply concentrating the<br />
bead-bound target at the tube-wall by using a magnet. The excellent reaction<br />
kinetics of the Dynabeads ® is comparable to liquid phase kinetics. A singlestranded<br />
biotinylated probe can be bound directly to the beads for capture of<br />
target sequences. Alternatively, an indirect capture approach can be used, as<br />
the reaction kinetics are faster, in some cases, when the biotinylated probe<br />
is added to the sample for target hybridisation, prior to immobilisation to the<br />
beads. The 1.0 µm Dynabeads ® MyOne Streptavidin C1 have a very high<br />
surface area per mg of beads, enabling high enrichment of low abundance<br />
DNA/RNA. The slightly negatively charged surfaces of both the Dynabeads ®<br />
M-270 Streptavidin and the Dynabeads ® MyOne Streptavidin C1 also<br />
ensure negligible non-specific binding of non-target DNA sequences.<br />
Examples of applications include; sequence-specific capture, cDNA selection<br />
and enrichment, isolation of cell-specific transcripts and mRNA differential<br />
display.<br />
