Simultaneous quantification of four RNA targets by multiplex, real-time RT-PCR without optimization.
Researchers carrying out quantitative, multiplex, realtime PCR and RT-PCR require master mixes that provide accurate, simultaneous quantification of multiple targets in the same reaction without time-consuming optimization. Our results at Wyeth Research show that QuantiTect® Multiplex Kits from QIAGEN are well suited for multiplex analysis of up to four RNA targets in two-step and onestep real-...
متن کاملReal-time quantification of microRNAs by stem–loop RT–PCR
A novel microRNA (miRNA) quantification method has been developed using stem-loop RT followed by TaqMan PCR analysis. Stem-loop RT primers are better than conventional ones in terms of RT efficiency and specificity. TaqMan miRNA assays are specific for mature miRNAs and discriminate among related miRNAs that differ by as little as one nucleotide. Furthermore, they are not affected by genomic DN...
متن کاملRT-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 کاملHigh-throughput multiplex real-time PCR assay for the simultaneous quantification of DNA and RNA viruses infecting cassava plants.
AIMS To develop a multiplex TaqMan-based real-time PCR assay (qPCR) for the simultaneous detection and quantification of both RNA and DNA viruses affecting cassava (Manihot esculenta) in eastern Africa. METHODS AND RESULTS The diagnostic assay was developed for two RNA viruses; Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Uganda cassava brown streak virus (UCBSV) and two predominant DNA viruses; Afr...
متن کاملSimultaneous quantification of mitochondrial DNA copy number and deletion ratio: A multiplex real-time PCR assay
Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in a vast array of diseases and conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease, cancer, and aging. Alterations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) may provide insight into the processes that either initiate or propagate this dysfunction. Here, we describe a unique multiplex assay which simultaneously provides assessments of mtDNA copy number and the proportion of genom...
