Serial 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 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 کاملAbsolute quantitation of MDR1 transcripts using heterologous DNA standards--validation of the competitive RT-PCR (CRT-PCR) approach.
The multidrug resistance (MDR1) gene product, P-glycoprotein (Pgp), is a 170-kDa ATP-dependent pump that expels a variety of anticancer drugs out of malignant cells, reducing drug accumulation and thus antitumor activity. In recent years, considerable data has been presented that indicates the need to standardize detection methods for Pgp and MDR1. Reverse transcription (RT)-PCR is one of the m...
متن کاملCompetitive RT-PCR: Estimation of Copy Number.
INTRODUCTION In this protocol, sample and competitor RNAs (previously synthesized as described in Preparation of Competitor RNA for Competitive RT-PCR) are reverse transcribed (separately) in a pilot experiment. A constant amount of sample RT product is then combined with a 2-logserial dilution of competitor RT product for PCR. This procedure provides an approximate copy number for the sample, ...
متن کاملModeling and analysis of competitive RT-PCR.
The present studies demonstrate a theoretical and practical framework for the accurate quantitation of gene expression in RNA extracted from microscopic tissue samples. The approaches are developed around competitive RT-PCR techniques. Assay performance has been examined and validated at both the RT and PCR steps. Our analysis of RT transcription efficiency for a number of native and competitor...
