Product Description
Oxidative damage to DNA is a result of its interaction with reactive oxygen species (ROS), in particular, the hydroxy radical. Hydroxy radicals, which are produced from superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide by the Fenton reaction, produce multiple modifications in DNA. Oxidative attacks by hydroxy radicals on the deoxyribose moiety will lead to the release of free bases from DNA, generating strand breaks with various sugar modifications and simple abasic sites (AP sites). In fact, AP sites are one of the major types of damage generated by ROS. Aldehyde Reactive Probe (ARP; N Eaminooxymethylcarbonylhydrazin-D-biotin) reacts specifically with an aldehyde group present on the open ring form of the AP sites (Fig. 1). This reaction makes it possible to detect DNA modifications that result in the formation of an aldehyde group. After treatment with excess ARP reagent, all of the AP sites on DNA are tagged with a biotin residue. These biotin-tagged AP sites can be quantified using the avidin-biotin assay, followed by colorimetric detection with either peroxidase or alkaline phosphatase conjugated to the avidin. DNA Damage Quantification Kit contains all the necessary solutions for detecting between 1 to 40 AP sites per 1 x 105 base pairs.

How to Prepare a Calibration Curve
1. Calculate the average O.D. of each ARP-DNA standard solution.
2. Subtract the blank O.D. from the average O.D.a)
3. Plot the O.D. corresponding to the number of AP sites of the standard solution. X-axis is the number of AP sites and Y-axis is the O.D.
4. Determine the number of AP sites in the sample using this calibration curve.
a) The blank O.D. is about 0.04-0.06 and the O.D. of the 40 ARP DNA standard solution is about 0.8-1.0. The O.D. value depends on HRPStreptavidin activity.

Q & A
-
Q
Can I use single-stranded DNA or RNA?
-
A
No, you cannot use this kit to determine the number of abasic sites in single-stranded DNA or RNA. The O.D. reading of single-stranded DNA will be nearly twice that of double-stranded DNA because of the binding efficiency on the microplate.
-
Q
How should genomic DNA be stored?
-
A
Prepare a DNA pellet and store at -20°C or -80°C if the DNA cannot be labeled with ARP immediately after isolation. After ARP labeling, the sample can be stored at 4°C in TE Buffer for several months.
-
Q
How should I prepare the DNA?
-
A
You can use general protocols or commercially available DNA isolation kits. Between 2 to 4 abasic sites per 1 x 105 base pairs will be created during the DNA isolation process. Therefore, use the same isolation method to prepare each DNA sample.
-
Q
What should I do if the sample DNA concentration is less than 100 μg per ml?
-
A
You can either use a filtration tube to concentrate your sample DNA or ethanol precipitation to recover DNA as a pellet and then re-dissolve it to prepare a 100 μg per ml solution.
-
Q
What should I do if the sample DNA is less than 1 μg?
-
A
Add the same volume of ARP Solution and follow the manual. The recovery of the ARP-labeled DNA may be lower than the usual reactions, so measure the ARP-labeled DNA solution. The average recovery rate of the 0.5 μg DNA and 0.25 μg DNA is 70% and 50%, respectively.
