Terminal Deoxynucleotidyl Transferase, recombinant
Terminal Deoxynucleotidyl Transferase, Recombinant (rTdT) is a DNA polymerase that catalyzes the addition of deoxynucleotides to the 3fi hydroxyl terminus of DNA. A TdT Technical Bulletin is available.
Applications: Homopolymer tailing of vector and insert for cloning. Labeling oligonucleotides with iotin (1,2), 32P- or 35S-label (3), or in apoptosis (TUNEL) (4,5).
Source: Purified from a baculovirus clone of calf thymus TdT.
Performance and Quality Testing: Endonuclease, 3´ and 5´ exodeoxyribonuclease, and levels of incorporation tested.
Unit Definition: One unit incorporates 1 nmol dATP into acid-precipitable material in 1 h at 37°C, using d(pA)50 as a primer.
Hazard Warning: Toxic; potassium cacodylate contained in reaction buffer. Also contains cobalt chloride, a highly toxic chemical.
