    Dear Researcher,

    Our 2011/2012 catalog reflects Trevigen’s mission: “To provide cancer researchers with the highest quality products andservices for ultimate benefit toward the prevention and cure of cancer.” Thus, we have developed products that focus onkey causative aspects emanating from DNA damage, DNA repair, and genomic instability, as well as products to detect andquantitate the downstream impact on cancer cell behavior.

    Over the past few years, our specialized products for the characterization of cancer cell behavior have found numerous researchapplications in the areas of:

    • Screening Therapeutics for Cancer Treatments

    • Conducting Pharmacodynamic Assays on Lead Compounds

    • Tumor Explant Work

    • Cell Adhesion

    • Metastasis

    • Angiogenesis

    • 3-D Structure Studies

    • Apoptosis Detection

    Acknowledging the complexity inherent in cancer cells and therefore cancer cell assays, Trevigen maintains a technical supportteam to assist you, the researcher, in assay selection, set up, troubleshooting as well as the interpretation of results.

    We take pride in the quality of our products, which is matched by the fast turnaround and thoughtful responses of both thetechnical support and customer service teams.Our goal is to make sure you know you are able to “count on us”, at each stepof the research process, from the planning stages of your project, to data analysis/interpretation.

    We organized our new catalog with our customers in mind; to make it easier for you to locate, find specifications, and toorder our products.

    We also strive to keep our website up-to-date. As new products are released and new applications information becomes available for old products, we make sure the information is available immediately on our website.

    Please do not hesitate to contact us at 800-873-8443 or [email protected] if you have any questions at all.

    On behalf of all of us at Trevigen, Inc., I wish you continued success in your research.

    Sincerely,

    D N A R E PA I R D E F I C I E N T C E L L L I N E SDNA repair pathways maintain the integrity of the genome reducing the onset of cancer, disease and aging phenotypes. However, the requirement for DNA repair and genomemaintenance in response to radiation and genotoxic chemotherapies implicates DNA repairproteins as prime targets for improving response to currently available anti-cancer approaches. To further study repair pathways, Trevigen offers panels of human cell lineseach deficient in proteins associated with DNA repair. The first panel consists of cell linesdeficient for proteins in the Base Excision Repair Pathway. For the availability of other DNArepair deficient cell lines contact Trevigen.

    PA R P / PA R / PA R GPARP-1 contributes to the sequence of events that occurs during DNA base excision repair.Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) catalyzes the NAD+ - dependant addition of poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) onto itself and adjacent nuclear proteins in response to DNA damage.

    Since PAR is often highly branched and degraded by poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase(PARG), Trevigen offers kits that measure the in vivo and in vitro activities of PARP andPARG. One hallmark of apoptosis is caspase-mediated cleavage and inactivation of PARP-1.The PARP Apoptosis Kits measure decreasing levels of PARP activity as cells move throughthe apoptosis pathway. The Homogeneous PARP Inhibition Assay is well suited for the largescale screening of compound libraries for candidate PARP inhibitors. Our Universal PARPand PARG Assays are designed to analyze small numbers of inhibitors and recommendedfor providing accurate IC50 information. Inhibitors to PARP can be characterized by in vitro assays. Their in vivo activity in cell or tissue extracts, or peripheral blood mononuclear cellscan be quantitatively measured using Trevigen’s validated PARP in vivo PharmacodynamicAssay. Biotinylated NAD+, PAR and PARP antibodies, key reagents for the described assays, are also available as individual components.

    C O M E TA S S AY ®The single cell gel electrophoresis or CometAssay® is a state-of-the-art technique forquantitating DNA damage and repair from in vivo and in vitro samples of eukaryotic cellsand some prokaryotic cells. In conjunction with Trevigen’s new CometAssay® ElectrophoresisSystem, which eliminates known causes of assay variability, it is the only technique that directly measures DNA damage in individual cells and as a result has rapidly gained importance in the fields of genetic toxicology and human biomonitoring. Trevigen’sCometAssay® measures double strand breaks (DSBs), single strand breaks (SSBs), alkalilabile sites, oxidative DNA base damage, DNA-DNA/ DNA-protein/DNA-Drug crosslinkingand DNA repair.

    UNIVERSAL PARP ASSAY

    PARP/ PAR/ PARGUniversal PARP Assay Kits

    Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) catalyzes the NAD+-d ependent addition of poly(ADP-ribose) to itself and adjacent nuclear proteins, such as histones, in response to DNAdamage. PARP contributes to the sequence of events that occurs during DNA base excisionrepair. Whereas PARP-mediated induction of necrosis can occur by extensive depletion of theintracellular NAD+ pool, the cleavage of PARP-1 promotes apoptosis by preventing DNArepair-induced survival and by blocking energy depletion-induced necrosis. Moreover, PARPinhibition promotes chemosensitization and radiosensitization of tumors. Trevigen's HTUniversal PARP Assay Kits measure the incorporation of biotinylated poly(ADP-ribose) ontohistone proteins in a 96-well strip well format. This assay is ideal for the determination of IC50values of known or suspected PARP inhibitors.

    For your convenience, Trevigen provides histone-coated strip wells. This format significantlyreduces assay time.

    PARP/ PAR/ PARGPARP/Apoptosis Assay Kits

    During apoptosis, PARP-1 which catalyzes the NAD+-dependent addition of poly (ADP-ribose)(PAR) onto various cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins, is cleaved from about 116 kDa to85 kDa. Moreover, this enzyme is a therapeutic target for BRCA1and BRCA2 associatedbreast cancers. The HT PARP/Apoptosis Assay is ideal for measuring the activity of PARP incell extracts before and during apoptosis. This ELISA semi-quantitatively detects PAR deposited onto immobilized histone proteins in a 96-well format. An anti-PAR monoclonalantibody, goat anti-mouse IgG-HRP conjugate, and HRP substrate are used to generate a signal. Thus, signals correlate with PARP activity. Etoposide is a topoisomerase II inhibitorthat stabilizes this enzyme after it cleaves DNA. It is included as a control apoptosis inducer.

    PARP/ PAR/ PARGHT Fluorescent Homogeneous PARP Inhibition Assay

    Trevigen's HT Fluorescent Homogeneous PARP Inhibition Assay is a highly sensitivefluorescent screening assay for the rapid identification of PARP-1 inhibitors in an in vitrosystem. This one hour endpoint assay is performed in two successive steps requiring onlythe consecutive addition of reaction components. A PARP autoribosylation reaction is firstperformed, followed by a detection step. The remaining NAD+ level is determined in acycling reaction involving alcohol dehydrogenase and diaphorase. Each time NAD+ cyclesthrough these coupled reactions, a molecule of highly fluorescent resorufin is generated.The assay can be used to determine relative IC50 values for PARP inhibitors and is capable ofdetecting as little as 10% inhibition of PARP-1 activity. Inhibitors are identified by an increasein fluorescent signal when PARP mediated NAD+ depletion is inhibited.

    F E AT U R E S :• Highly sensitive fluorescent assay• Detect as little as 10% inhibition of PARP Activity• Inhibitors identified by increase in Fluorescent Signal• No wash steps• 96 test size• Rapid – Assay takes ~ 1.5 hr

    ASSAY DESIGN:

    Step 1: PARP reaction requiring NAD+ is performed.

    • As PAR polymer is synthesized NAD+ is consumed from the reaction mixture.

    • PARP inhibitors prevent NAD+ consumption.Step 2: Cycling Assay is performed to quantify

    NAD+ remaining from Step 1. • Each time NAD+ cycles, a molecule of highly

    fluorescent resorufin is generated. • PARP inhibitors are identified by an increase

    in fluorescent Signal.

    Poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) degrades polymers synthesized by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP1). When activated by DNA strand breaks, PARP1 usesNAD+ as a substrate to form ADP-ribose polymers on itself and on specific acceptor proteins.These polymers are in turn rapidly degraded by PARG, a ubiquitously expressed exo- and endoglycohydrolase. PARG may maintain the active state of PARP1 by continuouslyremoving inhibitory ADP-ribose residues from PARP1. The regulation of PARG activity maytherefore influence PARP-mediated cell death. PARG inhibitors could thereby indirectlyinhibit PARP1 activity. Trevigen’s HT PARG Assay Kits measure the loss of biotinylated PARfrom histones attached to strip wells in a 96 well format and is ideal for the screening ofPARG inhibitors and for measuring the activity of PARG in cell extracts.

    ADP-Ribose Polymerase

    Trevigen offers two grades of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase: “standard” PARP, and highspecific activity (HSA) enzyme. The specific activity serves as a measure of enzyme purity,with the standard enzyme being purified to approximately 50% purity, and the HSA grade togreater than 95% purity. The standard PARP enzyme is useful as a positive control for bothWestern blot analysis and analysis of protein ribosylation. For more detailed studies or fordrug discovery applications, PARP HSA is recommended. Enzyme preparations with lowerspecific activity are available (catalog #s 4667-50-EB and 4667-250-EB). High specific activity PARP (PARP-HSA) is used in Trevigen’s PARP Assay Kits. PARP is activated by 10XActivated DNA(catalog # 4671-096-06), which can be assayed using Trevigen’s UniversalPARP Activation kits (catalog #s 4677-096-K; 4676-096-K see page 9), or PARP ApoptosisAssay kits (catalog #s 4684-096-K; 4685-096-K see page 10).

    The anti-poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) mouse monoclonal antibody may be used forthe analysis of PARP protein levels and the detection of cleavage of PARP in apoptotic cells.During apoptosis, PARP-1 activity initially increases, but later falls due to auto-modificationand cleavage by caspases. The specific rate of change in PARP-1 activity is dependent upona variety of factors including cell type, method of induction of DNA damage or apoptosis, andculture conditions. Specific proteolytic cleavage of PARP has been demonstrated to be areliable marker for apoptosis in a wide variety of cell types, generating 85 kDa and 26 kDafragments.

    CometAssay®CometAssay® Reagent Kits for Single CellGel Electrophoresis AssayTrevigen’s CometAssay®, or single cell gel electrophoresis assay, provides a simple andeffective method for evaluating DNA damage in cells. The principle of the assay is basedupon the ability of denatured, cleaved DNA fragments to migrate out of the nucleoid underthe influence of an electric field, whereas undamaged DNA migrates slower and remainswithin the confines of the nucleoid when a current is applied. Evaluation of the DNA “comet”tail shape and migration pattern allows for assessment of DNA damage. The NeutralCometAssay® is typically used to detect double-stranded breaks, whereas the AlkalineCometAssay® is more sensitive, and is used to detect smaller amounts of damage includingsingle and double-stranded breaks.

    A S S AY D E S I G N F O R A L K A L I N E C O M E T:Step 1: Cells mixed with low melting agarose are immobilized on specially treated slidesand lysed. • Membranes and histones removed from the DNA of individually isolated cells.Step 2: Samples are treated with alkali to unwind and denature the DNA. • For detection of single and double-stranded breaks.Step 3: Following alkaline electrophoresis slides are stained and visualized byfluorescent microscopy. • Increase in DNA damage results in smaller fragments migrating faster in an electric field. • Quantitative measurements of DNA damage
