Improved mRNA quantitation in LightCycler RT-PCR.
BACKGROUND Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) utilizing the LightCycler and similar systems is an increasingly used technique for quantitative reverse transcription (RT)-PCR of mRNA levels from genes of immunologic interest. A commonly encountered limitation with these systems is that the fluorescence induced by SYBR Green (a fluorophore that binds double-stranded DNA) can result from pr...
متن کاملReproducibility in the quantification of mRNA levels by RT-PCR-ELISA and RT competitive-PCR-ELISA.
The use of reverse transcription (RT) PCR for relative quantitation of gene transcripts relies on the reproducibility of the individual RT, PCR and product measurement steps. Semi-competitive RT-PCR (RT-cPCR) uses an internal competitor template in the PCR step to improve quantitation. We have surveyed the reproducibility of RT, PCR, RT-cPCR and measurement, amplifying the glyceraldehyde-3-phos...
متن کاملCompetitive RT-PCR to quantify CFTR mRNA in human endometrium.
Because the down-regulation by progesterone of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) expression could be a useful specific marker to define the state of implant receptivity in endometrium, a competitive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was developed for quantifying the CFTR mRNA concentration in human endometrial samples. A competitor RNA was constru...
متن کاملAnalysis of myosin heavy chain mRNA expression by RT-PCR.
An assay was developed for rapid and sensitive analysis of myosin heavy chain (MHC) mRNA expression in rodent skeletal muscle. Only 2 microg of total RNA were necessary for the simultaneous analysis of relative mRNA expression of six different MHC genes. We designed synthetic DNA fragments as internal standards, which contained the relevant primer sequences for the adult MHC mRNAs type I, IIa, ...
متن کاملDevelopment and applications of a real-time quantitative RT-PCR method (QRT-PCR) for BRCA1 mRNA.
OBJECTIVES To develop a real-time quantitative RT-PCR method for BRCA1 mRNA and then use it for the study of BRCA1 gene expression in human MCF-7 breast cancer cells after their exposure to antineoplastic agents and gamma irradiation. DESIGN AND METHODS The developed QRT-PCR method is based on the real-time monitoring of a fluorescein-labeled TaqMan probe, specific for BRCA1 mRNA, during PCR ...
