Intelli Nuclease

Biological products produced in cells, such as viral vaccines and viral vectors, contain residual DNA from the host cell substrates. Theoretically, residual DNA could deliver activated oncogenes and potentially infectious viral genomes to patients and induce carcinogenic or infectious events. Regulatory agencies around the world have set regulatory limits for residual DNA to ensure patient safety. During the production process, manufacturers need to reduce the content of such impurities through specific methods to meet the regulatory requirements. In addition, nucleic acid substances produced during upstream cell culture or cell lysis can significantly increase the viscosity of the solution, affecting the efficiency of downstream process steps.

Intelli nuclease is an omnipotent endonuclease expressed in recombinant E. coli, originally from Serratia marcescens. The enzyme is composed of two identical subunits (approximately 27.5KDa), is a non-specific nuclease that can completely and efficiently degrade any form of DNA and RNA (single-stranded, double-stranded, linear, circular, supercoiled) into oligonucleotide of 2-5 bases in length.

Applications

Remove DNA/RNA in protein purification process, to reduce viscosity, simplify clarification process, and effectively improve yields

Prepare samples for ELISA, chromatography, 2D electrophoresis, and blotting, improving resolution and recovery. Eliminate host cell DNA/RNA residues during vaccine and protein manufacturing, improving product safety.

Prevent cell clumping during cell culture, including PBMC, chimeric cell mixture preparation.

Reaction Conditions

Optimum reaction conditions: pH 6-10 (prefer pH 8-9), 1-2 mM Mg2+, 0-150 mM NaCI, 0-42°C (prefer 37 °C)

Enzyme activity will be significantly inhibited (reduction rate>50%) if monovalent cations >300 mM, PO43+>100 mM, (NH4)2SO4>100 mM

The enzyme is compatible with PMSF (1 mM), EDTA (1 mM), reducing agents (e.g. DTT) , detergents (e.g. Triton).
