Reproducibility 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 کاملQuantification of mRNA using real-time reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR): trends and problems.
The fluorescence-based real-time reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) is widely used for the quantification of steady-state mRNA levels and is a critical tool for basic research, molecular medicine and biotechnology. Assays are easy to perform, capable of high throughput, and can combine high sensitivity with reliable specificity. The technology is evolving rapidly with the introduction of new en...
متن کاملImproved 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 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 کاملOne-step RT-LATE-PCR for mRNA and viral RNA detection and quantification.
LATE-PCR is an optimized form of asymmetric PCR that efficiently generates high levels of single-stranded DNA amplicons. Single-stranded amplicons are advantageous because, as shown in this chapter, they can be probed at low temperature(s) with one or more probes. Based on its properties, LATE-PCR is also useful for constructing multiplex assays. Viral RNA or RNA present in cells can be detecte...
