mRNA expression of IFNB1 was analyzed by real-time RT-PCR using gene-specific primer/probe pairs (Life Technologies). A GAPDH (human)-PCR using specific primer/probe pairs (Life Technologies) served as internal control to quantify the relative gene expression of target genes. The iScript One-Step RT-PCR Kit for Probes (BioRad) was used for target amplification and runs were performed on the CFX96 real-time detection system (BioRad). The cycling conditions were as follows: 10 min@50°C (RT), 3 min@95°C, 40 cycles: 5 sec@95°C, 15 sec@60°C. The results were analyzed using the gene expression software of the cycler (CFX Manager Software, ΔΔCt method) [60 (link)].

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.
