RT-PCR without RNA isolation.
Reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) has traditionally required time-consuming RNA extraction and purification. This report demonstrates that one can completely avoid the RNA extraction step in RT-PCR by basing the comparison of samples on cell number rather than micrograms of total RNA. A new method for lysing cells while preserving RNA is described. RT-PCR is carried out (i) by rapidly freezing...
متن کاملCompetitive RT-PCR: Preparation of Competitor RNA.
INTRODUCTION The first step in competitive RT-PCR is the synthesis and purification of the synthetic competitor. This is an RNA molecule designed to be reverse-transcribed and PCR-amplified with the same efficiency as the endogenous transcript of interest. Once the competitor molecule has been prepared, as described in this protocol, competitive PCR can be carried out, as described in Comptetit...
متن کاملPicoinjection Enables Digital Detection of RNA with Droplet RT-PCR
The ability to add reagents to drops in a sequential fashion is necessary for numerous applications of microfluidics in biology. An important method for accomplishing this is picoinjection, a technique in which reagents are injected into aqueous drops using an electric field. While picoinjection has been shown to allow the precise addition of reagents to drops, its compatibility with biological...
متن کاملPreparation of chemically modified RNA origami nanostructures.
In nucleic acid nanotechnology, designed RNA molecules are widely explored because of their usability originating from RNA's structural and functional diversity. Herein, a method to design and prepare RNA nanostructures by employing DNA origami strategy was developed. A single-stranded RNA scaffold and staple RNA strands were used for the formation of RNA nanostructures. After the annealing of ...
متن کاملEvaluation of real-time RT-PCR compared with conventional RT-PCR for detecting human metapneumovirus RNA from clinical specimens.
Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is an etiologic agent of respiratory tract infections. In this study, we compared the sensitivity and specificity of real-time reverse transcription (RT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR), conventional RT-PCR, and nested PCR in detecting hMPV genes. A total of 146 clinical specimens from 143 patients who showed acute respiratory tract infection symptoms were tested by...
