Aliquots of total RNA used for sequencing as described earlier were used for qRT-PCR [30 (link)]. cDNA was synthesized and quantified using the Nanodrop (ND-1000) spectrophotometer (Nanodrop products, Wilmington, DE). Twenty-one primer pairs from differential expressed candidate genes were designed using an online PRIMEGENS program (http://primegens.org/) and synthesized from IDT Technologies (Integrated DNA Technologies, Coralville, IA). The working stock of each primer was adjusted to 2 μM. The gene IDs and primer sequences were listed in Table S1 in Supplementary Material available online at http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2015/528395. Real-time PCR was run on BioRad C-1000 (CFX96) real-time system using the iQ SYBR Green Supermix (BioRad Laboratories, Hercules, CA). For internal control, two housekeeping genes, cab-h1 and cab-h8, from nondifferential expressed genes were used to calculate threshold differences and fold expression differences from differential genes. The abundance levels of the selected transcripts normalized to housekeeping genes were calculated using the 2−ΔΔCt method [31 (link)]. Before conducting qRT-PCR, regular PCR was performed at an initial denature at 94°C for 3 min, followed by 94°C 40 sec, 58°C 30 sec, and 72°C 40 sec for 20 cycles with a final extension of 3 min at 72°C.

Peripheral blood samples were obtained from patients at admission before coronary angiography and from controls at the time of examination. Blood was centrifuged at 3,000 g for 15 minutes. We extracted viral DNA from plasma using the viral DNA spin protocol QIAamp UltraSense Virus kit. Detection of cytomegalovirus was performed by means of quantitative real-time PCR on a Bio-Rad thermal cycler CFX 96 C1000 using primer/probe sets for cytomegalovirus and human endogenous retrovirus 3 (ERV-3)29 (link) (Table 2). Load of cytomegalovirus was expressed as copy number of cytomegaloviral DNA per 1 ml of plasma. The specificity of the PCR reaction was confirmed with purified cytomegalovirus as positive control and with human cord blood DNA as negative control. The threshold level of 1,000 copies of cell-free cytomegaloviral DNA per 1 ml of plasma was used as a categorical parameter of the presence of highly productive cytomegalovirus infection30 (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.
