Hi guys
HCD test is a common test for quality control of recombinant protein in order to investigation of residual Host Cell DNA as a contamination in drugs. Considering 16srRNA repeats in E.coli genome, it has been suggested to run Q-PCR for quanification of this gene in pharmaceutical products in order to measuring Host Cell derived-DNA remained through purification process. Could u please give me some tricks to design primer for this test with high accuracy?
Indeed I want to know am I allowed to use housekeeping genes primers which are used in Realtime-PCR process for HCD purpose and are these primers similar in different E.coli strains like DH5-alpha and BL21?
Thanks for helping me out
