猪端粒绝对长度定量 qPCR 检测试剂盒

Telomeres are repetitive nucleotide elements at the ends of chromosomes that protect chromosomes from degradation and genetic information loss. Normal diploid cells lose telomeres with each cell cycle. Telomere length, therefore, decreases over time and may predict lifespan. Telomere shortening has negative effects on health conditions and has been linked to many health issues including aging and cancer. Accurate and consistent quantification of telomere length is important in many aspects of cell biology such as chromosomal instability, DNA repair, senescence, apoptosis, cell dysfunctions, and oncogenesis.

ScienCell's Absolute Pig Telomere Length Quantification qPCR Assay Kit (APTLQ) is designed to directly measure the average telomere length of a pig cell population. The telomere primer set recognizes and amplifies telomere sequences. The single copy reference (SCR) primer set recognizes and amplifies a 100 bp-long region on pig chromosome 13, and serves as reference for data normalization. The reference genomic DNA sample with known telomere length serves as a reference for calculating the telomere length of target samples. The carefully designed primers ensure: (i) high efficiency for trustworthy quantification; and (ii) no non-specific amplification. Each primer set has been validated by qPCR with melt curve analysis and gel electrophoresis for amplification specificity and by template serial dilution for amplification efficiency.

端粒（Telomeres）是位于染色体末端的重复核苷酸序列，可保护染色体免受降解并防止遗传信息丢失。正常的二倍体细胞在每一次细胞周期中都会发生端粒缩短，因此端粒长度会随时间减少，并可能成为预测寿命的重要指标。端粒缩短会对健康产生不利影响，并与多种疾病相关，包括衰老和癌症等。在细胞生物学研究中，对端粒长度进行准确且稳定的定量，对于研究染色体不稳定性、DNA 修复、细胞衰老、细胞凋亡、细胞功能异常以及肿瘤发生等过程具有重要意义。

ScienCell 的猪端粒绝对长度定量 qPCR 检测试剂盒（Absolute Pig Telomere Length Quantification qPCR Assay Kit，APTLQ）可用于直接测定猪细胞群体的平均端粒长度。试剂盒中的 端粒引物组可特异性识别并扩增端粒序列；单拷贝参考基因（SCR）引物组可识别并扩增猪第 13 号染色体上的约 100 bp 区域，并作为数据归一化的参考。提供的已知端粒长度参考基因组 DNA 样本可用于计算目标样本的端粒长度。精心设计的引物确保：(i) 高扩增效率，实现可靠定量；(ii) 无非特异性扩增。每套引物均通过 qPCR 熔解曲线分析和凝胶电泳验证扩增特异性，并通过模板梯度稀释实验验证扩增效率。
