Heparinase treatment of RNA before quantitative real-time RT-PCR [PDF]
Vol. 35, No. 6 (2003) BioTechniques 1141 the ABI PRISM® 7000 and the TaqMan Universal PCR Master Mix protocols (Applied Biosystems). After discovering that the RNA from the thecal cells had vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) amplification and that RNA from granulosa cells had no VEGF amplification, the 18S rRNA amplification (TaqMan Pre ...

Quantitative real-time RT-PCR – a perspective [PDF]
The real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) uses fluorescent reporter molecules to monitor the production of amplification products during each cycle of the PCR reaction. This combines the nucleic acid amplification and detection steps into one homogeneous assay and obviates the need for gel electrophoresis to detect ...

Real-time RT-PCR normalisation; strategies and considerations [PDF]
Real-time RT-PCR has become a common technique, no longer limited to specialist core facilities. It is in many cases the only method for measuring mRNA levels of vivo low copy number targets of interest for which alternative assays either do not exist or lack the required sensitivity.

Recent sequence variation in probe binding site affected detection of respiratory syncytial virus group B by real-time RT-PCR [PDF]
Background Direct immuno-fluorescence test (IFAT) and multiplex real-time RT-PCR have been central to RSV diagnosis in Kilifi, Kenya. Recently, these two methods showed discrepancies with an increasing number of PCR undetectable RSV-B viruses ...

Real-Time Quantitative RT-PCR: Design, Calculations, and Statistics [PDF]
Two recent letters to the editor of The Plant Cell ([Gutierrez et al., 2008][1]; [Udvardi et al., 2008][2]) highlighted the importance of following correct experimental protocol in quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR).

Development of real-time PCR and hybridization methods for detection and identification of thermophilic Campylobacter spp. in pig faecal samples [PDF]
Aims: To develop a real-time (rt) PCR for species differentiation of thermophilic Campylobacter and to develop a method for assessing co-colonization of pigs by Campylobacter spp. Methods and results: The specificity of a developed 5’nuclease rt-PCR for

On joint maximum-likelihood estimation of PCR efficiency and initial amount of target [PDF]
We consider the problem of estimating unknown parameters of the real-time polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR) from noisy observations. The joint ML estimator of the RT-PCR efficiency and the initial number of DNA target molecules is derived.
