Fam mgb probe

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

FAM/MGB probes are fluorescent oligonucleotide probes used in real-time PCR assays. They are designed to detect and quantify specific DNA sequences. FAM/MGB probes utilize a fluorescent reporter dye (FAM) and a non-fluorescent quencher (MGB) to provide sensitive and specific detection of target sequences.

Following the BALF procedure (see below), the left lobe of each lung was minced using a sterile scalpel blade. A 2 mm3 sample of the lung was snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen. DNA was extracted from lung samples using the DNeasy Blood and Tissue DNA extraction kit as described by the manufacturer (Qiagen). Universal 16S rRNA primers (F primer = 5′-TCCTACGGGAGGCAGCAG T-3′; R primer = 5′-GGACTACCAGGGTATCTAATCCTGTT-3′ [26 (link)]) were used to detect bacteria in DNA samples using the Power SYBR Green PCR Master Mix as described by the manufacturer (Applied Biosystems, Calsbad, USA). These ‘universal primers’ have broad specificity to detect conserved regions of 16S rDNA from 34 bacterial species encompassing most bacterial groups [26 (link)]. An 18S rRNA endogenous control including a FAM-MGB probe was used as the internal control for this assay using conditions described by the manufacturer (Applied Biosystems).

Real-time PCR assays to measure mRNA expression levels of miR-200c, E-cadherin, and CD44 were performed as published elsewhere.23 (link) Total RNA was harvested from cells using TRIzol® reagent (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA). The isolated RNA was reverse transcribed into complementary DNA using an ExScript™ RT reagent kit (Takara Bio Inc, Otsu, Japan) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The reaction was allowed to proceed at 25°C for 10 minutes and then at 37°C for one hour. For normalization, reverse transcription PCR was done on complementary DNA using eukaryotic 18S rRNA endogenous control primers and a FAM-MGB probe (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA). A TaqMan miRNA reverse transcription kit was used to generate complementary DNA for PCR reaction in conjunction with a miR-200c-specific primer and probe (Applied Biosystems, assay ID 002300). The reverse transcription primer for miR-200c is a hairpin primer that is specific for mature miRNA and does not bind to the precursor molecules. For validation of the microarray data, SYBR Green real-time reverse transcription PCR was done using primers specific for E-cadherin and CD44. The specific primer sequences are shown in Figure S3. Relative mRNA and miRNA levels were calculated using the comparative Ct method (ΔΔCt).

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.
