GAPDH was tested as the reference gene. The primers for both described genes were listed in Table 1. To amplify the FoxP3 gene, 0.5 μl of each cDNA was added to 20 μl master mixture solution including 2x cyber green solution and 0.5 μM of described primers. The PCR program was set up as an initial denaturation step of 4 min at 95 °C, 35 cycles of 20 s at 94 °C, 61 °C at 30 s as annealing tempreature for each gene and 20 s at 72 °C. The efficiency of all run was between 95% to 99%. The relative expression of FoxP3 gene mRNA was evaluated according to standard curve obtained from the specific target and housekeeping gene.

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.
