R&D Systems™ Formamidopyrimidine DNA Glycosylase FLARE™ Assay Kit
Description
- Trevigen’s Fpg FLARE™(Fragment Length Analysis using Repair Enzymes) Assay Kit provides the ability to detect DNA damage in single cells using E. coli formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase (Fpg) in conjunction with Trevigen’s CometAssay™ single cell gel electrophoresis kit
- To assess the type of DNA damage induced by a putative mutagen, drug, or treatment regimen, cells are harvested after treatment and immobilized in low melting point agarose (LMAgarose) on FLARE™ Slides
- The cells are gently lysed and then incubated with Fpg to assess the type of damage present.
- Fpg catalyzes the excision of the following forms of DNA damage:
- Open ring forms of 7-methylguanine, including 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5- N-methylformamido-pyrimidine, and 4,6-diamino-5-formamidopyimidine, a lethal lesion.
- 8-oxoguanine, a highly mutagenic lesion and probably the most important biological substrate of Fpg.
- 5-hydroxycytosine and 5-hydroxyuracil.
- Aflatoxin-bound imidazole-ring-opened guanine.
- Imidazole ring opened N-2-aminofluorene-C8-guanine.
