Quantitative TaqMan(R) real-time PCR assays for gene expression normalisation in feline tissues
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Gene expression analysis is an important tool in contemporary research, with real-time PCR as the method of choice for quantifying transcription levels. Co-analysis of suitable reference genes is crucial for accurate expression normalisation. Reference gene expression may vary, e.g., among species or tissues; thus, candidate genes must be tested prior to use in expression ...
متن کاملEvaluation of GNMT Gene Expression in Prostate Cancer Tissues using Real-Time PCR
Introduction: Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In the present study, the expression level of glycine N-methyl transferase gene (GNMT) was investigated in prostate cancer tissue. The GNMT enzyme is encoded by the GNMT gene. Increased GNMT gene expression increases the conversion of glycine to sarcosine and results in the e...
متن کاملThe Applicability of TaqMan-Based Quantitative Real-Time PCR Assays for Detecting and Enumerating Cryptosporidium spp. Oocysts in the Environment
Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assays to detect Cryptosporidium oocysts in clinical samples are increasingly being used to diagnose human cryptosporidiosis, but a parallel approach for detecting and identifying Cryptosporidium oocyst contamination in surface water sources has yet to be established for current drinking water quality monitoring practices. It has been prop...
متن کاملReal-Time PCR for Gene Expression Analysis
After discovery of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) by Dr. Kary Mullis in 1983, several different types of PCR have been invented and continually improved upon over the years. One of them called "Real-time PCR" or “fluorescence based PCR” allows us to quantitate nucleic acids obtained from cells or tissues, to compare the variable states of infection, to detect chromosomal translocations, to gen...
متن کاملAmplification Efficiency of TaqMan Gene Expression Assays
Applied Biosystems has designed and manufactured over 40,000 real-time PCR assays for measuring the expression of genes in humans, mice, and rats. TaqMan Gene Expression Assays each consist of amplification primers (forward and reverse) and a fluorescent labeled TaqMan probe, formulated into a single tube. One of the major user concerns regarding any real-time PCR-based assay product (primers a...
