result variation and efficiency kinetics in real-time pcr
نویسندگان
چکیده
fluorescent monitoring of dna amplification is the basis of real-time pcr. absolute quantification can be achieved using a standard curve method. the standard curve is constructed by amplifying known amounts of standards under identical conditions to that of the samples.the objective of the current study is to propose a mathematical model to assess the acceptability of pcr resulys.four commercial standards for hcv-rna (hepatitis c virus rna) along with 6 patient samples were measured by real-time pcr, using two different rt-pcr reagents. the standard deviation of regression (sy,x) was calculated for each group of standard and compared by f-test. the efficiency kinetics was computed by logistic regression, c2 goodness of fit test was preformed to assess the appropriateness of the efficiency curves.calculated efficiencies were not significantly different from the value predicted by logistic regression model. reactions with more variation showed less stable efficiency curves, with wider range of amplification efficiencies.amplification efficiency kinetics can be computed by fitting a logistic regression curve to the gathered fluorescent data of each reaction. this model can be employed to assess the acceptability of pcr results calculated by standard curve method.

Mathematical model of real-time PCR kinetics.
Several real-time PCR (rtPCR) quantification techniques are currently used to determine the expression levels of individual genes from rtPCR data in the form of fluorescence intensities. In most of these quantification techniques, it is assumed that the efficiency of rtPCR is constant. Our analysis of rtPCR data shows, however, that even during the exponential phase of rtPCR, the efficiency of ...
متن کاملKinetics quality assessment for relative quantification by real-time PCR.
For proper relative quantification by real-time PCR, compared samples should have similar PCR efficiencies. To test this prerequisite, we developed two quality tests: (i) adjustment of a test for kinetic outlier detection (KOD) to relative quantification; and (ii) comparison of the efficiency variance of test samples with the efficiency variance of samples with highly reproducible quantificatio...
متن کاملValidation of a quantitative method for real time PCR kinetics.
Real time RT-PCR is the most sensitive method for quantitation of gene expression levels. The accuracy can be dependent on the mathematical model on which the quantitative methods are based. The generally accepted mathematical model assumes that amplification efficiencies are equal at the exponential phase of the reactions for the same amplicon. However, no methods are available to test the ass...
متن کاملStatistical methods for efficiency adjusted real-time PCR quantification.
The statistical treatment for hypothesis testing using real-time PCR data is a challenge for quantification of gene expression. One has to consider two key factors in precise statistical analysis of real-time PCR data: a well-defined statistical model and the integration of amplification efficiency (AE) into the model. Previous publications in real-time PCR data analysis often fall short in int...
