Rt pcr reagent

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States, Lithuania

RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction) reagents are a collection of chemical compounds and enzymes used to detect and amplify specific RNA sequences. These reagents enable the conversion of RNA into complementary DNA (cDNA) and the subsequent exponential amplification of the target genetic material through a series of temperature-controlled cycles. The core function of RT-PCR reagents is to facilitate the sensitive and accurate detection and quantification of RNA molecules, making them a critical tool in various applications, such as gene expression analysis, disease diagnosis, and viral detection.

RT-PCR for Immune Cell Profiling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RT-PCR reagents were purchased from Invitrogen and primers (supplied by Sigma Aldrich) are described by Van Dongen et al. [22 (link)] and in electronic supplementary material, table S1. Reverse transcription (RT) was performed using 500 ng of total PBMC RNA mixed with 1 μl JH reverse primer (10 μM), 1 μl dNTPs (0.25 mM) and RNase-free water added to make a total volume of 11 μl. This was incubated for 5 min at 65°C, and 4 μl First strand buffer, 1 μl DTT (0.1 M), 1 μl RNaseOUT™ Recombinant Ribonuclease Inhibitor and 1 μl SuperScript™ III reverse transcriptase (200 units μl−1) was added. RT was performed at 50°C for 60 min before heat-inactivation at 70°C for 15 min. PCR amplification of cDNA (5 μl of the RT product) was performed with the JH reverse primer and the FR1 forward primer set pool (0.25 μM each), using 0.5 μl Phusion® High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase (Finnzymes), 1 μl dNTPs (0.25 mM), 1 μl DTT (0.25 mM), per 50 μl reaction. The following PCR programme was used: 3 min at 94°C, 35 cycles of 30 s at 94°C, 30 s at 60°C and 1 min at 72°C, with a final extension cycle of 7 min at 72°C on an MJ Thermocycler.

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.
