This protocol describes one-step real time quantitivie PCR to quantify relative levels of RNA in

Starting Materials

  • Validated PCR primers that are efficient over the range of RNA that you are assaying.
  • Taq Polymerase, MuLV RT
  • dNTPs, MgCl2, nuclease free water
  • PCR strip caps or 96-well plates with transpearant caps
  • total RNA (~50ng per reaction, diluted to 10ng/ul)

Basic Principle

  • RNA is reverse transcribed in a single well.
  • PCR reaction procedes. The levels of template are quantified during each cycle.

Protocol

Analysis

Delta-Delta Ct Method. See Livak KJ, Schmittgen. Methods 25 402-408 (2001)
