实验13 cDNA的合成及RT-PCR法研究基因的表达
RT-PCR (reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction)
is the most sensitive technique for mRNA detection and
quantitation currently available. Compared to the two other
commonly used techniques for quantifying mRNA levels, Northern
blot analysis and RNase protection assay, RT-PCR can be used to
quantify mRNA levels from much smaller samples. In fact, this
technique is sensitive enough to enable quantitation of RNA from a
single cell.
Two-step procedures
In the first tube, first-strand cDNA synthesis is performed
under optimal conditions, using either random hexamers, oligo(dT)
primers (generating a cDNA pool), or sequence-specific primers.
An aliquot of the RT reaction is then transferred to another tube
(containing thermostable DNA polymerase, DNA polymerase
buffer, and PCR primers) for PCR.
Advantages of this approach: This method is useful for
experiments where multiple transcripts have to be analyzed from
the same RT reaction or for specific applications such as
Differential Display Reverse Transcription (DDRT) or Rapid
Amplification of cDNA Ends (RACE). Also, since the RT reaction
is performed under optimal conditions, this approach produces the
longest RT-PCR products (up to 14 kb in length, if the appropriate
enzymes are used).
A two-step procedure has the following advantages
Optimizes reaction conditions. The two-step format allows both
reverse transcription and PCR to be performed under optimal
conditions to ensure efficient and accurate amplification.
Provides flexibility. Two-step procedures allow the product of a
single cDNA synthesis reaction to be used for analysis of multiple
transcripts. This flexibility is valuable for such specialized
applications as rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) and
Differential Display Reverse Transcription (DDRT).
Amplifies long sequences. With the right combination of reverse
transcriptase and thermostable DNA polymerase, two-step RT-PCR
can amplify RNA sequences up to 14 kb long.
