Real-Time Reverse Transcription PCR
Real-time, fluorescence-based reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) has been transformed from an experimental technology into a mainstream scientific tool for the detection of RNA. This is because of several factors: 1) it is a homogeneous assay, which eliminates the requirement for post-PCR processing; 2) it has a wide dynamic range; 3) there is little interassay variation; ...
متن کاملHigh-throughput real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR.
Extensive detail on the application of the real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR) for the analysis of gene expression is provided in this unit. The protocols are designed for high-throughput, 384-well-format instruments, such as the Applied Biosystems 7900HT, but may be modified to suit any real-time PCR instrument. QPCR primer and probe design and validation are discussed, and...
متن کاملReal-time reverse transcription-PCR assay for detection of mumps virus RNA in clinical specimens.
The mumps virus is a negative-strand RNA virus in the family Paramyxoviridae. Mumps infection results in an acute illness with symptoms including fever, headache, and myalgia, followed by swelling of the salivary glands. Complications of mumps can include meningitis, deafness, pancreatitis, orchitis, and first-trimester abortion. Laboratory confirmation of mumps infection can be made by the det...
متن کاملCritical analysis of rhinovirus RNA load quantification by real-time reverse transcription-PCR.
Rhinoviruses are the most frequent cause of human respiratory infections, and quantitative rhinovirus diagnostic tools are needed for clinical investigations. Although results obtained by real-time reverse-transcription PCR (RT-PCR) assays are frequently converted to viral RNA loads, this presents several limitations regarding accurate virus RNA quantification, particularly given the need to re...
متن کاملQuantitation of HCV RNA using real-time PCR and fluorimetry.
Real-time PCR technology may provide an accurate and sensitive method to quantify hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA. So far, studies have been carried out using the Taqman technology with the ABI Prism 7700 sequence detector. An alternative and simple real-time PCR assay is described with no probe requirement, based on the SYBR Green I dye and LightCycler fluorimeter. Amplicon synthesis was monitored...
