General description

Procedures are provided for one-step and two-step RT-PCR reactions.

One-step: In a single tube, eAMV RT and AccuTaq LA act sequentially to first produce cDNA and then immediately amplify by PCR. This provides quick, sensitive analysis of RNA.

Two-step: Each reaction is individually optimized for greater yields with high fidelity, when protocol requires multiple amplifications, or if maximum yield is more important than maximum convenience.

Application

Enhanced Avian HS RT-PCR Kit has been used to synthesize the cDNA first-strand during reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) analysis.

Features and Benefits

  • Greater transcription lengths than other reverse transcriptases, generating cDNA up to 14.1 Kb.
  • Higher sensitivity for detecting low abundance messages. eAMV RT is able to transcribe RNA that other reverse transcriptases cannot detect.
  • Unsurpassed transcription through difficult secondary structure.
  • Increased sensitivity, specificity and yield from JumpStart AccuTaq LA DNA Polymerase.

Other Notes

Reverse Transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) is a powerful tool used to study gene expression. The Enhanced Avian HS RT-PCR kit utilizes an enhanced avian myeloblastosis virus reverse transcriptase (eAMV-RT) enzyme that offers superior performance in comparison to standard AMV-RT and Moloney murine leukemia virus reverse transcriptase (MMLV-RT). eAMV RT is an exceptionally robust enzyme with an enhanced ability to transcribe through difficult secondary structure at elevated temperatures (up to 65 °C) making it the ideal enzyme for producing high quality full-length cDNA (up to 14.1 kb) from total RNA or poly(A)+ RNA. JumpStart AccuTaq LA DNA polymerase mix is also provided to eliminate non-specific amplification and increase specificity and sensitivity. The combination of these two enzymes provides a quality system that offers the versatility of a one-step or two-step RT-PCR protocol.

Protocols

The 3’/5’ integrity assay is a potential first step in the identification of RNA degradation. The assay is particularly useful when a large number of samples are to be analyzed or when the degradation is less than that detected by capillary systems but still sufficient to effect qPCR analyses.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
