qPCR amplification and analysis were performed using the StepOne Real-Time PCR Systems (Thermo Fisher, USA). All reactions (20-ng cDNA template and three replicates) were performed using PowerTrack SYBR green master mix (Thermo Fisher, USA, #A46109) using the StepOne Real-Time PCR Systems (Thermo Fisher, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The PCR reaction conditions were as follows: preincubation at 95°C for 10 minutes; 40 cycles at 94°C for 10 seconds, 60°C for 30 seconds, and 72°C for 30 seconds and a final extension at 72°C for 3 minutes. Fluorescence was measured at the end of each annealing step. Amplification was followed by a melting curve analysis with continuous fluorescence data acquisition during the 56° to 80°C melt. The raw data were analyzed with the StepOne Real-Time PCR Systems (Thermo Fisher, USA), and the gene expression levels were normalized to mouse beta actin using the 2−ΔΔCt method. The following primers used: AG2G CD8-alpha F: CCTTACCAGTGACCGCCTTG; AG2G CD8-alpha R: CTGAGCAATGGTAGGTGCCA (Amplifies only AG2G DNA and RNA but not CD64 DNA or RNA). Mouse actin cDNA F: GGCTGTATTCCCCTCCATCG, Mouse actin cDNA R: CCAGTTGGTAACAATGCCATGT.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The optimal amplification efficiencies of the LGALS9 gene and the endogenous HPRT gene were determined for the ALL primers that amplify all of the mRNA variants and for the FL and D5 mRNA variants. To this end, a concentration curve was performed from   20 to 0.02 ng·µL−1using the cDNA from the HaCaT cell line. A melting curve was performed to confirm that unspecific products were not obtained during the amplification. Each reaction was performed in a final volume of 10 µL, including 5 µL of 2X SYBR Green/Rox quantitative PCR (qPCR) Master Mix (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.), 1 µL of forward primer (10 µm), 1 µL of reverse primer (10 µm) and 1 µL of cDNA (20 ng) from the HaCaT, SiHa and HeLa cell lines. The reactions were performed in the Step One Real‐Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.).
The reactions were performed in triplicate in three different assays using the Step One Real‐Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). The programme conditions for the mRNA variants were as follows: 95 °C for 10 min followed by 40 cycles of 95 °C for 10 s, 61 °C for 30 s and 70 °C for 30 s. For the ALL primers, the conditions were the same, but the Tm was 51 °C. The expression levels were determined using the 2ΔΔCt method.

Quantitative Analysis of GUS Expression in Transgenic Plants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The expression levels of GUS mRNA in transgenic tobacco and Arabidopsis plants developed for the plasmids pKCaMV35SGUS and pSiM24GUS were evaluated by real-time quantitative RT-PCR [38] (link) using GUS-specific forward (5′-d-TTACGTCCTGTAGAAACCCCA-3′) and reverse (5′-d-ACTGCCTGGCACAGCAAT TGC-3′) primers. The qPCR assays were performed using the iTaq SYBR Green Supermix with ROX (Bio-Rad, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Tobacco tubulin (by using forward 5′-d-ATGAGAGAGTGCATATCGAT-3′ and reverse 5′-d-TTCACTGAAGAAGGTGTTGAA-3′ primers) was used as an internal control to normalize the expression of GUS. The comparative threshold cycle (Ct) method (Applied Biosystems bulletin, part No. 4376784 Rev. C, 04/2007) was used to evaluate the relative expression levels of the transcripts. The threshold cycle was automatically determined for each reaction by the system set with default parameters (Step One Real-Time PCR System, Applied Biosystems). The specificity of the PCR was determined by melting curve analysis of the amplified products using the standard method installed in the system (Step One Real-Time PCR System, Applied Biosystems).

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.
