General description

Tris EDTA buffer is commonly used in molecular biology for reconstitution and storage of many precipitated biomolecules, including DNA and RNA. Tris-HCl is a commonly used buffer and EDTA is a metal chelating agent. TE buffer solubilizes nucleic acids while protecting the molecules from degradation. It is used in nucleic acid isolation, which may be done prior to nucleic acid gel electrophoresis and Northern or Southern blot hybridization.

Application

TE buffer has been used for:
  • isolate, resuspend, or store DNA and RNA for PCR or qPCR
  • gel electrophoresis, including Northern and Southern blotting
  • bacterial cells, for AmpC disk test, to measure β-lactamases released from the cells
  • antigen retrieval for immunohistochemistry

Preparation Note

TE Buffer contains 1M Tris-HCl (pH approximately 8.0), containing 0.1M EDTA.

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is an immunoregulatory enzyme. It plays a key role in various malignancies, infection and autoimmune diseases. IDO induces immunosuppression through the depletion of tryptophan and its downstream metabolites. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has infected more than 12

Germline epigenetic factors influence transgenerational inheritance of behavioral traits upon changes in experience and environment. Immune activation due to infection can also modulate brain function, but whether this experience can be passed down to offspring remains unknown. Here, we show

Microbial genotyping increasingly deals with large numbers of samples, and data are commonly evaluated by unstructured approaches, such as spread-sheets. The efficiency, reliability and throughput of genotyping would benefit from the automation of manual manipulations within the context of sophisticated
