Quantitative RT-PCR using a PCR-generated competitive internal standard.
One approach to quantitate RNA is the use of a known number of competitive internal standard molecules that are reverse-transcribed and subsequently co-amplified under the same reaction conditions as the target sequence (3). This technique, called competitive reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (cRT-PCR) has been applied to monitor the level of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in patient...
متن کاملDetection and quantitation of bovine respiratory syncytial virus using real-time quantitative RT-PCR and quantitative competitive RT-PCR assays.
A single tube, fluorogenic probe-based, real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (Q-RT-PCR) assay was developed for detection and quantitation of bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) using BioRad's iCycler iQ. Real-time Q-RT-PCR was compared with quantitative competitive RT-PCR (QC-RT-PCR) and viral titers. Viral mRNA levels were measured in BRSV-infected bovi...
متن کاملSerial competitive RT-PCR using multiple standards.
PCR is widely used for the amplification of DNA and reverse-transcribed RNA. In recent years, real-time PCR has been introduced as a new technique for mRNA quantitation. However, because of the high cost of real-time PCR equipment and supplies, especially using custom-made probes, quantitative RT-PCR is a valuable alternative method. Several quantitative PCR protocols describe the use of a sing...
متن کاملQuantitative PCR and RT-PCR in virology.
I n the last few years, molecular hybridization methods have been used extensively in basic and applied virology because of their technical flexibility and high specificity. Using these techniques, the detection of DNA and RNA viruses directly from clinical specimens, the analysis of the specific transcriptional activity of viral genes in vitro and in vivo, and the study of virus-host relations...
متن کاملGuidelines for quantitative rt-PCR.
Something I notice often in supervising new graduate students is their frustration with the irreproducibility of their biological data. For example, I am asked frequently ‘‘how many biological replicates do I need for qRT-PCR’’? The answer, of course, lies first with the students themselves. They need as many replicates as will persuade them of the validity of their observations. However, for m...
