Total RNA is reverse transcribed using RevertAid Reverse Transcriptase (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA) with 100–1,000 ng of input RNA and random primers (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA). Quantitative real-time PCR reactions (qRT-PCR) are performed in 384-well plates using specific primers (TIB MOLBIOL, Germany) (Supplementary Table S1) and the iQTM SYBR® Green Supermix (BioRad, CA, USA) as a fluorescent detection dye in a final volume of 10 μl [CFX96TM Real-Time PCR (BioRad, CA, USA)]. Each reaction is performed in triplicate. All results are normalized to β-actin or Gapdh mRNA levels and calculated using the 2−ΔCt method. To characterize generated amplicons and to control contamination by unspecific by-products, melt curve analysis is applied.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
