Embodiment Construction

[0037] Primers, probe design and oligonucleotide templates

[0038] Taqman forward and reverse primers and a 5'FAM labeled MGB probe were designed from the Affymetrix consensus sequence using PrimerExpress(R) (Applied Biosystems). Oligonucleotide templates for in vitro transcription can be constructed by adding 10 base pairs of gene-specific sequence to the 5' and 3' ends of the amplicon, followed by the addition of 10 base pairs 3' to the T7 promoter region Outside of the base pair, the T7 promoter consists of 5'CCTATAGTGAGTCGTATTA 3' (SEQ ID NO: 1).

[0039] In vitro transcription using synthetic oligonucleotides

[0040] In vitro transcription reactions using partial single-stranded oligonucleotide templates were performed using a commercially available kit (T7-MEGAshortscript Kit, Ambion Inc., Austin, TX). Part of the single-stranded template was passed through the T7 primer (5'AATTTAATACGACTCACTATAGG 3'), which was only in the T7 promoter region (in 10mM Tris-HCl (pH 8....

Abstract

A method for obtaining a cRNA for use in generating calibration data, e.g., a standard curve, for absolute quantitation of RNA by RT-PCR is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: providing a synthetic oligonucleotide comprising an amplicon, a promoter sequence located 3' relative to the amplicon; synthesizing complementary RNA (cRNA) by in vitro transcription of the synthetic oligonucleotide; quantitatively assaying the cRNA by an independent method; and generating calibration data using a known quantity of the cRNA.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to molecular biology. More specifically, the present invention relates to real-time PCR methods and absolute quantification of gene expression. Background technique [0002] Basic PCR techniques are suitable for amplifying a DNA sequence of interest. In reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR), a reverse transcription step is added to the PCR protocol. This employs a basic PCR method for detecting and quantifying specific mRNA transcripts. Therefore, RT-PCR is suitable for determining and comparing gene expression levels. Examples of useful comparisons include expression in different tissue types of a single organism, expression in the same tissue type in different organisms, and expression in the same tissue type in response to an experimental treatment. Quantification can be relative (ie, expressed as a fold difference between samples) or absolute (ie, expressed as the actual amount of RNA). [0003] Historically, followi...
