Application

Deoxyribonuclease II from bovine spleen has been used:
  • as a component of digestion mix to isolate immune cells from colon samples[1]
  • to digest retinal explants for single-cell suspension preparation[2]
  • for isolation of stromal cells from human colon tissue[3]
  • in the dissociation medium during the preparation of embryonic cardiac myocytes from rat heart[4]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Deoxyribonuclease II, also called as acid DNAse, hydrolyzes deoxyribonucleotide linkages in native and denatured DNA yielding products with 3′-phosphates. in vitro, its optimum pH range is 4.5 - 5.0. It also acts upon p-nitrophenyl-phosphodiesters at pH 5.6 - 5.9. The molecular weight is approximately 38,000 Da.[5]

Unit Definition

One Kunitz unit will produce a ΔA260 of 0.001 per min per mL at pH 4.6 at 25 °C; [Mg2+] = 0.83 mM

Faecal biomarkers, particularly calprotectin [FCAL], have become important diagnostic and monitoring tools in inflammatory bowel diseases [IBD]. As FCAL is mainly produced by neutrophils, we hypothesised that faecal lipocalin-2 [FLCN2], also expressed by intestinal epithelial cells [IEC], could be beneficial

Questions

  1. What is the best buffer to dissolve the lyophilized powder in? What is the best final concentration to be prepared?

    1 answer
    1. According to the Enzymatic Assay Test Procedure, a solution should be prepared immediately before use, containing 500–1000 Kunitz units/ml in cold deionized water.
