Superscript 2 rt first strand kit

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States, Germany

The Superscript II RT First Strand Kit is a laboratory product designed for the reverse transcription of RNA into complementary DNA (cDNA). It provides the necessary reagents and enzymes to efficiently convert RNA into single-stranded cDNA, which can then be used for various downstream applications, such as PCR amplification and gene expression analysis.

Total RNA was isolated with peqGOLD Total RNA Kit (PeqLab) and reverse transcribed using the Superscript II RT First Strand Kit (Invitrogen). Real time PCR was conducted in the ABI 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR cycler (Applied Biosystems) using a SYBR Green I Low Rox Mastermix (Eurogentec GmbH) and the respective primers (Supplementary Table S2). Following a 10 min denaturing step at 95°C 40 cycles with 15 seconds 95°C and 1 min 60°C were applied. Primer sequences and PCR efficiencies are given in Supplementary Table S2.

Total RNA was isolated using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen GmBH, Hilden, Germany). From each sample, 2 μg of RNA was converted into cDNA by oligo(dT)18-primed reverse transcription using SuperScript II RT First-Strand kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) as described by the manufacturer. The cDNA was subject to semiquantitative PCR analysis using Accuprime Taq polymerase system (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) according to manufacturer’s recommendations. Flt3 primers were used as previously described in Ref. (8 (link)).

Total cellular RNA was isolated by using the peqGOLD total RNA kit (VWR; Darmstadt, Germany) with a subsequent DNaseI digestion step according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For cDNA synthesis, the Superscript II RT First Strand Kit (Invitrogen GmbH, Karlsruhe) was used. PCR primer sequences used to detect ATOH1, GLI1, KRT8, 14, 17, 18, 20, RPLP0, SOX2, and SOX9 are given in Supplementary Methods. Thermal profile for the PCR using the Takyon Low Rox Sybr MasterMix (Eurogentec; Cologne, Germany) contained an initial denaturation step at 95 °C for 10 min, followed by 40 cycles of two-step PCR including 15 sec at 95 °C and 60 sec at 60 °C. Quantification was performed in three independent experiments.

Quantitative Analysis of HSP70 Isoforms

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Relative expression levels of the HSP70 isoforms were determined by SybrGreen real time PCR applying the comparative ΔΔ−CT method. Total cellular RNA was isolated using the RNAeasy kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) with a subsequent DNaseI digestion step according to the manufacturer's instructions followed by cDNA synthesis with the Superscript II RT First Strand Kit (Invitrogen GmbH, Karlsruhe).
Real time PCR was conducted in the ABI 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR cycler (Applied Biosystems Inc., Foster City, CA, USA). The standard PCR reactions (20 μl) contained 1 μl cDNA and 10 μl 2× SybrGreen I Low Rox Mastermix (Eurogentec GmbH, Cologne, Germany) for detection. The thermal cycling conditions comprised an initial denaturation step at 95 °C for 10 min, followed by 40 cycles of three-step PCR including 15 sec at 95 °C, 60 sec at 60 °C and 30 sec at 95 °C. The CT levels of the investigated HSP70 isoforms were normalized to GAPDH (Δ-CT level). Δ-CT was calculated as CT HSP isoform, sample - CT GAPDH, sample.
Primer pairs for the different HSP70 isoforms were selected from NCI qPrimerDepot (Table 1) (http://primerdepot.nci.nih.gov/).

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.
