Amv first strand synthesis kit

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United Kingdom

The AMV first-strand synthesis kit is a laboratory reagent used for the synthesis of complementary DNA (cDNA) from RNA templates. The kit contains the necessary components, including the AMV (Avian Myeloblastosis Virus) reverse transcriptase enzyme, to facilitate the reverse transcription process, which is a fundamental step in various molecular biology and gene expression analysis workflows.

Quantifying c-fos Expression in Rat PFC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was extracted from rat PFC by the phenol–guanidine isothiocyanate–chloroform method as previously described (56 (link)) and further purified using an RNeasy kit with on-column DNase digestion according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Qiagen, Manchester, UK). One microgram of total RNA was converted to complementary DNA using an AMV first-strand synthesis kit (Invitrogen) and c-fos expression quantified by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction using a TaqMan primer-probe assay (no. Rn02396759_m1; Applied Biosystems, Warrington, UK) on an ABI Prism 7500 detection system (Applied Biosystems). Data were normalized to the β-actin housekeeping gene (assay ID 4352931E; Applied Biosystems), and relative expression was analyzed by the ΔΔCt method.

Quantitative PCR analysis of vlPAG

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
At the end of each experiment, brains were removed, flash frozen, and sectioned at 300 μm with a Leica CM3050S cryostat and mounted on to sterile slides. One-millimeter bilateral micropunches were taken from 6 levels of the vlPAG (Bregma −6.72, −7.04, −7.64, −8.0, −8.30, −8.80) and RNA was extracted with TRIzol (Life Technologies; 15596026) using standard procedures, followed by the addition of Glycoblue (Life Technologies; AM5916) for visualization. Concentrations of RNA (ng/μl) were calculated using a NanoDrop ND-1000 Spectrophotometer (Version 3.8, Thermo Fisher; DE). Following RNA extraction, RNA was diluted to a standard concentration and converted to cDNA using an AMV First-Strand Synthesis Kit (Invitrogen). PCR was performed using FastStart Essential DNA Green MasterMix (Roche) and analyzed using a Roche LightCycler 96 and accompanying software (Version 1.1.0.1320, 2011 Roche Diagnostics; Switzerland). Primer sequences are provided in Table 1.

qRT-PCR Analysis of Hoxa5 Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For qRT-PCR on neck/trunk segments from the Hoxa5 expression domain, C3-T2 segments were dissected from embryos of the appropriate ages, and forelimb tissue, neural tube, and thoracic organs were removed. RNA extraction was performed by Trizol method, cDNA synthesis was performed with the AMV first strand synthesis kit (Invitrogen), and qPCR with the Applied Biosystems Sybr Master I mix, all following manufacturer’s instructions. qRT-PCR was performed on a Roche Lightcycler 480 instrument. Primer sequences are given in Supplementary Table 2.

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.
