We are pleased to announce that we are launching a new kit for the detection of Double-stranded RNA.
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) emerges as a by-product during the in vitro transcription of mRNA. This byproduct possesses immunogenic properties within the human body, capable of provoking an immune response, consequently diminishing mRNA levels. This renders dsRNA a troublesome process impurity necessitating thorough elimination and stringent control of its residual presence.
To address this concern, the Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) ELISA detection kit employs the experimental principles of a double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) for the quantification of residual dsRNA. The Kit can not only be used in the detection of regular dsRNAs, but also in detection of peudo UTP, N1-Me-peudo UTP and 5-OMe-UTP modified dsRNAs.
This kit serves a versatile purpose, enabling optimization of the biological product purification process, impurity control during intermediate stages, and release testing for final product assessment.
