High-resolution melting real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using Rotor-Gene Q instrument (QIAGENE) was performed using forward primer (5′ TGACAGACAAGAAGCGAGA 3′) and reverse primer (3′ ATGTGGGTATATTACAGGTG 5′) to amplify the DNA region containing the rs2229857 SNP (126bp) under the following condition: 95°C for 12 minutes followed by 40 cycles of 95°C for 1 second, 61°C for 20 seconds, and 72°C for 20 seconds. The temperature has been raised gradually from 65 to 95°C within 2 minutes. The software Rotor-Gene 6000 series version 1.7 was used to analyze the results. Chi-square test was employed for Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium and comparison of genotype and allele frequencies. Sanger sequencing was used to confirm the accuracy of the detected variant in at least 10%. Following primers designed via Primer 3 software (F: 5′- TGACAGACAAGAAGCGAGA -3′) and (R: 5′- ATGTGGGTATATTACAGGTG -3′) to amplify the region of interest, the PCR products (126bp) were subsequently visualized using 2% agarose gel and bidirectional sequencing was performed by on an ABI 3130 sequencer (Applied Biosystems). The sequences were compared with the ADAR1 gene reference sequence.

Extraction of total RNA was performed with the RNeasy® Micro Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). A total of 1 μg total RNA was used for the reverse transcription reaction with the QuantiTect® reverse transcription kit for cDNA synthesis with integrated removal of genomic DNA contamination (Qiagen). qPCR reactions contained 5 µL of cDNA template in a 20 µL final volume with 1× PrimeTime® qPCR primers (Integrated DNA Technologies, Coralville, IA, USA) and 1× GoTaq® qPCR Master Mix (Promega).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine limit of detection (LOD) and intra-assay variability neat cRNA was serial-diluted in uninfected human blood extracts to produce 14 concentrations of pfs25 cRNA (1.59 × 106 to 0.05 copies/µL) and 11 concentrations of pfMGET cRNA (2.16 × 105 to 0.07 copies/µL), with emphasis on closer dilutions in the lower range to ensure enough data points for accurate estimation. Replicates (n = 5–8) of each dilution and a negative control (uninfected human blood extracts) were analysed on separate qRT-PCR runs on separate days (6 for pfs25 and 3 for pfMGET) on a Rotorgene Q instrument (Qiagen, Australia) with the same batch of mastermix used for each assay. The experiments and validation of the pfs25 assay occurred before repeating the process with the pfMGET assay. These data sets are hereafter referred to as data set A (pfs25) and data set B (pfMGET).

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.
